Heavy metal concentrations in the soil near illegal landfills in the vicinity of agricultural areas—artificial neural network approach
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Purpose To anticipate the impact of illegal landfills, development of new models should become a part of environmental risk management strategies. One of such approaches includes applications of the artificial neural network ...
Heterologous Expression and Partial Characterization of a Putative Opine Dehydrogenase from a Metagenomic Sequence of Desulfohalobium retbaense
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2023)
The aim of this research was to prove the function of the putative opine dehydrogenase from Desulfohalobium retbaense and to characterize the enzyme in terms of functional and kinetic parameters. A putative opine dehydrogenase ...
Spatial–temporal assessment of hydrocarbon biodegradation mechanisms at a contaminated groundwater site in Serbia
(England: Taylor and Francis, 2022)
The characterization and cleanup of groundwater contamination in hazardous-waste sites are of significant engineering and scientific importance. This study analyzes biodegradation fingerprints in groundwater, 25 years after ...
Strain wars 4 - Darwinian evolution through Gibbs’ glasses: Gibbs energies of binding and growth explain evolution of SARS-CoV-2 from Hu-1 to BA.2
(Elsevier, 2022)
All processes in nature are driven by negative Gibbs energy. Gibbs energy is used by various viruses and their strains to hijack host cell metabolic machinery. The analysis was made by using the atom counting method to ...
Sensitivity and fading of irradiated RADFETs with different gate voltages
(Elsevier, 2022)
The radiation-sensitive field-effect transistors (RADFETs) with an oxide thickness of 400 nm are irradiated with gate voltages of 2, 4 and 6 V, and without gate voltage. A detailed analysis of the mechanisms responsible ...
Production of fructose and gluconic acid from sucrose with cross-linked yeast cell walls expressing glucose oxidase on the surface
(Elsevier, 2022)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, known as bakers’ yeast, is one of the most utilized yeasts in industry. Several enzymes that are naturally produced by yeast, such as invertase and catalase, combined with heterologously expressed ...
Concentration and mobility of trace elements (Li, Ba, Sr, Ag, Hg, B) and macronutrients (Ca, Mg, K) in soil-orchid system on different bedrock types
(Springer, 2022)
The mobility of chemical elements in the soil-orchid system has been poorly studied. The aim of this study is to evaluate the uptake and mobility of several trace (Li, Ba, Sr, Ag, Hg, and B) and macronutrients (Ca, Mg, and ...
The influence on microorganisms of heavy metals from refiner’s spent desulphurisation catalysts
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Refinery wastes generated in conventional crude oil refining processes, or in accidental situations, are complex substrates for treatment and disposal. Petroleum desulphurisation catalysts can also be hazardous refinery ...
Thermodynamic Properties of Caffeine in Ethylene Glycol at High Pressures and High Temperatures
(USA : American Chemical Society, 2022)
Ethylene glycol is recognized as a heat transfer fluid. To improve its performance, caffeine is added to pure ethylene glycol. The experimental measurements of densities at pressures of up to 60 MPa and in the range of ...
Structural changes of waste biomass induced by alkaline treatment: the effect on crystallinity and thermal properties
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
A low-cost waste biomass generated from a food industry, apricot shells, was subjected to alkali modification in order to compare morphology, crystalline structure and thermal stability of native and modified biomass, ...
