Twelve hydrochars were produced from bamboo sawdust for adsorption of Congo red and 2-naphthol. The bamboo hydrochars have Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas ranging from 2.63 m2/g to 43.07 m2/g, average pore diameters from 3.05 nm to 3.83 nm, pore volumes between 0.02 cm3/g and 0.53 c...

Sludge from the textile industry was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove the dye Reactive Red 2 from an aqueous solution. Adsorbents were prepared through the thermal and chemical treatment of sludge originating from physical–chemical (PC) and biological (BIO) effluent treatment processes. T...

As apple possesses self-incompatibility, knowledge of the S-genotypes is very important for apple breeding and cultivation. We investigated the S-RNase genotypes of 13 type 2 red-fleshed apple cultivars and 8 lineages. All of the investigated type 2 red-fleshed apples contained the S3-RNase alle...

Metapenaeus monoceros shell used for the removal of reactive red 2 from an aqueous solution was studied by batch biosorption system. The maximum dye uptake capacity was examined at biosorbent dosage, different pH, contact time and initial dye concentration. From the study the maximum dye uptake ...

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to compare measurements of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the breath of dairy cows kept in commercial conditions using the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nondispersive infrared spectroscopy (NDIR) methods. The measurement sys...

A series of NaBi(MoO4)2:Eu3+, Gd3+ phosphors were prepared using a sol-combustion method. NaBi(MoO4)2:Eu3+ with a tetragonal scheelite structure was obtained by heat treatment at 600–800 °C. The effects of the synthetic temperature and Eu3+ concentration on the luminescent properties of the Na...

The first Russian advanced infrared (IR) atmospheric sounder IKFS-2 was launched in July 2014 on the “Meteor-M” No. 2 meteorological satellite. It is planned that this instrument and similar devices will continue to operate until 2025 aboard the current and subsequent satellites of “Meteor-M”...

The structures of [(aniline)-(methanol)-(water)2]+ were investigated by infrared spectroscopy coupled with linear tandem mass spectrometry. We suggest the most stable structure of [(aniline)-(methanol)-(water)2]+ through infrared photodissociation spectra supported by the density functional theo...

Technology has brought great benefits to human society, making life easier with good health and communication. But, in spite of these benefits, there are still underlying threats to existing life. The world is under the same kind of threat with nanotechnology. But with the help of new methodolog...

We define twisted Hochschild homology for Green functors. This construction is the algebraic analogue of the relative topological Hochschild homology THHCn(−), and under flatness conditions it describes the E2 term of the Künneth spectral sequence for relative THH. Applied to ordinary rings, we...

With further decrease of the minimum features of interconnects, the Cu resistivity increases due to spatial confinement becomes an issue once again. However, compared with the superfilling ability, little attention has been paid to the resistivity increase originated from the additives of electr...

Now-a-days, green supply chain has become an inspiring concept to study an integrated inventory system. Due to environmental worry, the acceptability of green products into today’s competitive market is on the rise. Therefore, this study focuses on the determination of the green degree of a fin...

Natural riparian corridors can serve as biodiversity reservoirs in urban environments. Despite the many opportunities that riparian corridors present for biodiversity conservation within urban environments, they may present conservation challenges by providing a thriving hub for local and alien ...

The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanism(s) of omapatrilat degradation observed during dissolution from modified release (MR) tablet formulations containing colorants. The tablets were manufactured by a dry granulation process employing roller compaction. The colorants were added ...

This study demonstrates the applicability of harmonizing Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Imager (MSI) and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) satellite imagery products to enable the monitoring of inland lake water clarity in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) environment. Processing steps include (1) a...

The rapid development of aquaculture has been considered the blue revolution, which is an approach to increasing global fish production in order to contribute to human nutrition and food security. The use of blue water (i.e., surface and groundwater) in aquaculture also makes a significant contr...

Herein, a facile strategy to fabricate the novel manganese oxide-imprinted mesoporous carbons (MOPCx, x presents for pyrolysis temperature) was described via the direct pyrolysis of Mn2(BDC)2(DMF)2 (BDC = 1,4–benzenedicarboxylate, DMF = N,N–dimethylformamide) as a self-sacrificed template at v...

Amaranth (Amarantus caudatus), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and kañiwa (Chenopodium pallidicaule) are Andean grains that are gaining interest as nutritious gluten-free alternatives to conventional cereals. Near infrared (NIR) imaging was applied to extrudates containing 20, 35% and 50% amaranth, ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of substitution of wheat flour with amaranth flour in batter, chicken paste and all layers of chicken nuggets at 0, 50 and 100% levels. The chemical composition, pH and phenolic compounds of amaranth flour, chemical composition and pH of ...
