Uranium adsorption by non-treated and chemically modified cactus fibres in aqueous solutions
(2013)
The adsorption efficiency of Opuntia ficus indica fibres regarding the removal of hexavalent uranium [U(VI)] from aqueous solutions has been investigated prior and after the chemical treatment (e.g. phosphorylation and ...
Temporal profiling of human urine VOCs and its potential role under the ruins of collapsed buildings
(2012)
Context: The scent profile of human urine was investigated as potential source of chemical markers of human presence in collapsed buildings after natural or man-made disasters. Objective: The main goals of this study were ...
The effect of aging and natural organic matter on the Th(OH)4 solubility
(2014)
The solution chemistry of actinides, particularly hydrolysis, is of major importance in the design of nuclear waste repositories and in relation to nuclear fuel reprocessing cycles. In this study the formation and solubility ...
Adsorptive removal of U(VI) and Th(IV) from aqueous solutions using polymer-based electrospun PEO/PLLA fibrous membranes
(2013)
Fibrous membranes based on poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(l-lactide) fabricated by electrospinning were evaluated for the first time as substrates for the adsorption of tetravalent thorium (Th(IV)) and hexavalent uranium ...
Combined chemical and optical methods for monitoring the early decay stages of surrogate human models
(2011)
As the body decays shortly after death, a variety of gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) constantly emanate. Ethical and practical reasons limit the use of human corpses in controlled, time-dependent, intervening ...
Discovery of anti-cancer activity for benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones: Very strong correlation to pleurotin and thioredoxin reductase inhibition
(2016)
The thioredoxin (Trx)–thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) system plays a key role in maintaining the cellular redox balance with Trx being over-expressed in a number of cancers. Inhibition of TrxR is an important strategy for ...
Evaluation of amino acid ester-based ionic liquids as buffer additives in CE for the separation of 2-arylpropionic acids nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(2014)
The aim of the present study is the CE performance evaluation for the separation of 2-arylpropionic acid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In particular, the separation of indoprofen, carprofen, ketoprofen, ibuprofen, ...
Synthesis, characterization and biological studies of new antimony(III) halide complexes with ω-thiocaprolactam
(2012)
Three new antimony(III) halide complexes (SbX 3, X = Cl, Br and I) with the heterocyclic thione ω-thiocaprolactam (1-azacycloheptane-2- thione, (Hthcl)) of formulae {[SbCl 2(μ 2-Cl)(Hthcl) 2] n} (1), {[(SbBr 2(μ 2-Br)(Hthcl) ...
Analysis of polyphenols using capillary zone electrophoresis - Determination of the most effective wine sample pre-treatment method
(2010)
A simple CZE method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of eight polyphenolic compounds. The influence of several experimental conditions such as buffer (concentration and pH) and temperature were studied. ...
Radioactivity and metal concentrations in marine sediments associated with mining activities in Ierissos Gulf, North Aegean Sea, Greece
(2016)
Marine sediment samples were collected from Ierissos Gulf, N Aegean Sea, close to the coastal mining facilities. Measurements of radionuclide and metal concentrations, mineral composition and grain size distribution were ...
