Rare earth doped luminescence glasses have been noteworthy recently in the fields of near-middle-infrared applications. In this work, serious Er3+ doped new kind of germanosilicate-zinc glasses have been investigated aiming to obtain efficient infrared and mid-infrared luminescence performance. ...

Activated carbon (AC) could be a solution to remove 4-ethylphenol (4-EP) and 4-ethylguaiacol (4-EG) off-flavours from Dekkera/Brettanomyces contaminated red wines. The relation between AC physicochemical characteristics and removal efficiency of these compounds is unknown. The impact of ACs char...

Previous studies have shown that equilibration following a red cell transfusion had occurred by 24 h. A shorter time to follow the hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) after transfusion may help physicians to provide earlier and more pertinent treatment. This was a prospective study conducted fr...

The trans to cis isomerization of the azobenzene chromophore in most azobenzene-based photoresponsive molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is initiated by UV irradiation. This limits the application of these materials in cases where UV light toxicity is an issue, such as in biological systems, ...

Grape must is a complex matrix where grapes, microbes, and technological process determine the final composition of wine. In red wine vinification process the maceration during fermentation promotes the colonization of non-Saccharomyces yeasts widely present on the grape surface. These yeasts in...

In this study, Ca3Sr3(VO4)4:0.05Eu3+, Ca3Sr3(VO4)4:0.05Eu3+,xAl3+, and Ca3Sr3(VO4)4:0.05Eu3+,0.06Al3+, yM+ (M = Li, Na, and K) red-emitting phosphors were synthesized by a citric acid-assisted sol combustion method. For the photoluminescence properties and crystal structure characterization of t...

Atypical chemokine receptor 4 (ACKR4) is regulated by cytokines, binds chemokines and regulates the chemokine gradient. We verified the cDNA sequence by confirming ACKR4 from red sea bream (PmACKR4) by next generation sequencing (NGS) and analysed the molecular characteristics and gene expressio...

Upconversion fluorescence analysis is an increasingly popular novel technique with biological and biomedical applications owing to its high detection sensitivity, non-invasive mode and superior photo-stability. Herein, water-soluble green β-NaYF4:Yb, Er UCNPs were prepared via a facile wet-chem...

The corrosion inhibition effect of a green eco-friendly 4-aminoazobenzene modified natural glucomannan (GL-PA) on the corrosion protection of mild steel in 0.5 M HCl solution is investigated by electrochemical measurements and surface characterization. The results show that the GL-PA acts as a m...

Urban green spaces can promote physical activity, well-being, and public health, but disparities in the distribution of such spaces predominantly benefit affluent communities. Therefore, green justice issues have become a focus of academic research. In this paper, we develop a new model, the com...

Fungal diseases are a menace to human life. They are a major problem, not only for individuals suffering from primary infection, but also for individuals suffering from fungal infection as a secondary infection and for immunocompromised patients suffering from other disorders. Vaginal candidiasi...

In this work, we report the green synthesis and characterization of a green catalyst by the immobilization of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (ZVIN) on the surface of bentonite clay using Eucalyptus leaf extract as both reducing and stabilizing agent and it is abbreviated as ZVIN. As-synthesized ...

This study aimed to verify the efficiency of the electrochemical oxidation process for removal the industrial textile Disperse Yellow 3 (DY3) dye in aqueous solutions using different electrocatalytic materials: boron-doped diamond (BDD), Ti/Ru0.3Ti0.7O2 and Ti/Pt anodes. The results were obtaine...

High-molecular-mass polymeric polyphenols (HPPCs) is the major group of polyphenols in red wine. However, owing to the diversity and structural complexity, its compositional characterization remains a difficulty. In this study, purified high-molecular-mass polymeric polyphenols (PHPPCs) was isol...

ObjectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness of antifibrinolytics tranexamic acid (TA), ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA), and aprotinin to decrease overuse of red blood cell transfusions in adult surgical and non-surgical patients.

The transdermal transmission of model substance on the pigskin samples was investigated using the attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique of infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The collected vibrational spectroscopic data were evaluated by multidimensional statistical methods as principal component ...

Hypochlorite (ClO−), one of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is closely related with many physiological and pathological processes. Especially as one of cellular reactive oxygen species in mitochondria, ClO− can induce mitochondrial permeability, which leads to apoptosis. Thus, developing an effec...

Plasmodium falciparum, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite which causes the severe form of human malaria, exports numerous proteins to the infected red blood cell that are important for its survival and of severe pathological effect to its host. These proteins and their export mechanism...

Organic ultraviolet photodetectors (OUV-PDs) were fabricated utilizing 2-TNATA as an electron donor with Bphen and TPBi as electron acceptors. A high sensitivity of OUV-PDs to UV light was obtained in the range of 300–420 nm. The optimized OUV-PDs composed of Bphen as the acceptor offered a pho...
