The European Chub (Squalius cephalus) as an indicator of reservoirs pollution and human health risk assessment associated with its consumption
(Pergamon, 2022)
Five reservoirs (Vlasina, Medjuvršje, Zaovine, Perućac, and Garaši) in Serbia were chosen as study sites, which differ by their position, purpose, stages of eutrophication, management policies, and levels of anthropogenic ...
Core-shell carbon fiber"Co1.5Mn1.5O4 mesoporous spinel electrode for high performance symmetrical supercapacitors
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
We report a mesoporous composite system consisting of carbon fiber cores surrounded with Co1.5Mn1.5O4 spinel nanocrystal shells, synthesized by a simple two-step process involving single-nozzle co-electrospinning and ...
Significance of silicon uptake, transport, and deposition in plants
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2020)
Numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of silicon (Si) for plant growth, particularly under stress conditions, and hence a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of its uptake, subsequent transport, and ...
High-performance hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis using proton-intercalated TiO2 nanotube arrays as interactive supports for Ir nanoparticles
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2020)
Developing ultraefficient electrocatalytic materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with low content of expensive platinum group metals (PGMs) via low-energy-input procedures is the key to the successful ...
Identification and first insights into the structure of chitin from the endemic freshwater demosponge Ochridaspongia rotunda (Arndt, 1937)
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Studies on the identification, properties and function of chitin in sponges (Porifera), which are recognized as the first multicellular organisms on Earth, continue to be of fundamental scientific interest. The occurrence ...
Immobilization of cesium with alkali-activated blast furnace slag
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Alkali-activated binders (AABs), as a promising alternative to Portland cement, are now being used on a commercial scale in various applications around the world, including hazardous and radioactive waste immobilization. ...
Physical and mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced alkali-activated fly ash and fly ash/slag mortars
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Two alkali-activated mortars with different solid prime materials were analysed. The first mortar contained fly ash, had lower density, higher water absorption, lower compactness, lower compressive strength, similar flexural ...
Evaluation of stability and functionality of BaCe1-xInxO3-delta electrolyte in a wider range of indium concentration
(Springer, New York, 2022)
The properties of BaCe1-xInxO3-delta (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40) as proton conducting electrolyte are examined. The dense electrolyte is formed after sintering at 1300 degrees C for 5 h in air. ...
Chitosan and pectin-based films and coatings with active components for application in antimicrobial food packaging
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
This investigation was aimed to develop films and coatings based on natural biopolymers and active components, with physicochemical and functional properties for application in antimicrobial packaging. Biopolymer films ...
Risk assessment of using fish from different types of reservoirs as human food - A study on European perch (Perca fluviatilis)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn in sediment samples and muscle tissue of the European perch were analyzed using inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), with the aim to assess ...
