Advances in Thermochemical Synthesis and Characterization of the Prepared Copper/Alumina Nanocomposites
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020)
This paper presents thermochemical synthesis of copper/alumina nanocomposites in a Cu-Al2O3 system with 1–2.5 wt.% of alumina and their characterization, which included: transmission electron microscopy: focused ion beam ...
Zinc Deficiency, Plasma Fatty Acid Profile and Desaturase Activities in Hemodialysis Patients: Is Supplementation Necessary?
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Background: Desaturation and elongation are critical processes in endogenous metabolic fatty acid pathways. Zinc (Zn) is a cofactor for desaturases and elongases enzymes. There is limited evidence regarding the relationships ...
Stacking interactions of resonance-assisted hydrogen-bridged rings and C6-aromatic rings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Stacking interactions between six-membered resonance-assisted hydrogen-bridged (RAHB) rings and C6-aromatic rings were systematically studied by analyzing crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The ...
Assessment of trace metal alterations in the blood, cerebrospinal fluid and tissue samples of patients with malignant brain tumors
(Nature Research, 2020)
The pathogenesis of malignant brain tumors (MBTs) should be better understood due to the evident association between prolonged exposure to metals and increased risk of MBTs. The present research aimed to find trace metals ...
Elemental profiling of adrenal adenomas in solid tissue and blood samples by ICP-MS and ICP-OES
(Elsevier, 2021)
The elemental composition of control and pathological adrenal tissues remains to be resolved. This study aimed to provide an initial insight into the amounts of micro- (Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb, U) and macroelements ...
Influence of Electrolyte Impurities from E-Waste Electrorefining on Copper Extraction Recovery
(Metals, 2021)
In order to reflect possible issues in future sole e-waste processing, an electrolyte of complex chemical composition reflecting system of sole e-waste processing was obtained by following a specially designed pyro-elect ...
Optimization of reactive diluent for bio-based unsaturated polyester resin: A rheological and thermomechanical study
(MDPI, 2021)
Nowadays, unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) are mainly obtained from non-renewable resources. The ever-increasing regulations and the continuous demand for more sustainability have led to extensive research towards more ...
The interactions of the ruthenium(II)-cymene complexes with lysozyme and cytochrome c
(Springer, 2020)
The reactions of four cymene-capped ruthenium(II) compounds with pro-apaptotic protein, cytochrome c (Cyt), and anti-proliferating protein lysozyme (Ly) in carbonate buffer were investigated by ESI-MS, UV–Vis absorption ...
The influence of the starch coating on the magnetic properties of nanosized cobalt ferrites obtained by different synthetic methods
(Elsevier, 2021)
To investigate the magnetic behavior of starch-coated cobalt ferrites, well-established synthetic methods, i.e., coprecipitation, mechanochemical, ultrasonically assisted coprecipitation, microemulsion, and microwave-assisted ...
Study of the synergetic effect of co-pyrolysis of lignite and high-density polyethylene aiming to improve utilization of low-rank coal
(MDPI, 2021)
The mutual impact of low-quality lignite and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) during open system pyrolysis was investigated, aiming to improve utilization of lignite with simultaneous treatment of HDPE waste. Pyrolysis of ...
