Optimization of microbial fuel cell operation using Danube River sediment
(Elsevier, 2020)
One of the main global focuses of mankind today is the required switch to new energy sources. Generating energy from waste is one of the potential solutions that can be achieved using microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Microorganisms, ...
Littoral eutrophication indicators are more closely related to nearshore land use than to water nutrient concentrations: A critical evaluation of stressor-response relationships
(Elsevier, 2020)
Biological assessmentmetrics and water chemistry measurements are used to quantify the link between stressors
and their effects on lake ecosystems, for the Water Framework Directive. However, correlations between ...
Aluminum-based self-powered hyper-fast miniaturized sensor for breath humidity detection
(Elsevier, 2020)
An aluminum-based, self-powered, miniaturized sensor for breath humidity detection is presented. The sensor is designed as an interdigitated capacitor made out of sputtered aluminum 1 % silicon (Al 1 %Si) thin film, 700 ...
Eliminating dissolution of platinum-based electrocatalysts at the atomic scale
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)
A remaining challenge for deployment of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells is thelimited durability of Pt-nanoscale materials that operate at high voltages during thecathodic oxygen reduction reaction. In this work, ...
Carbohydrate – Protein aromatic ring interactions beyond CH/π interactions: A Protein Data Bank survey and quantum chemical calculations
(Elsevier, 2020)
The geometries of the contacts between monosaccharides and aromatic rings of amino acids found in X-ray crystallography structures, in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), were analyzed, while the energies of the interactions were ...
Activation of Oxone® with plasma deposited mixed cobalt and alumina oxide for the dye degradation
(Elsevier, 2020)
The aim of this work is to examine the possibility of the formation of cobalt doped Al2O3 coatings on aluminum substrate by plasma electrolytic oxidation process (PEO) and application of the obtained material as catalyst ...
Characterisation of the binding of dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid to fibrinogen and the effects on fibrinogen oxidation and fibrin formation
(Elsevier, 2020)
A reduced form of the alpha-lipoic acid, dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid (DHLA) is a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant which can be consumed as food constituent or as supplement at doses up to 600 mg/day. DHLA has inhibitory ...
Role of aromatic amino acids in amyloid self-assembly
(Elsevier, 2020)
Amyloids are proteins of a cross-β structure found as deposits in several diseases and also in normal tissues (nails, spider net, silk). Aromatic amino acids are frequently found in amyloid deposits. Although they are not ...
Low-friction, wear-resistant, and electrically homogeneous multilayer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition on molybdenum
(Elsevier, 2020)
Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is a promising method for producing large-scale graphene (Gr). Nevertheless, microscopic inhomogeneity of Gr grown on traditional metal substrates such as copper or nickel results in a ...
Dynamic stability of active sites in hydr(oxy)oxides for the oxygen evolution reaction
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
The poor activity and stability of electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction are the main bottlenecks in the water-splitting reaction for H2 production. Here, by studying the activity–stability trends for the ...
