Silicon crosstalk with reactive oxygen species, phytohormones and other signaling molecules
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
Exogenous applications of silicon (Si) can initiate cellular defence pathways to enhance plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Plant Si accumulation is regulated by several transporters of silicic acid (e.g. ...
Flexible lead-free NBT-BT/PVDF composite films by hot pressing for low-energy harvesting and storage
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
The idea of this work is finding the way to efficiently and safely use mechanical energy released in small quantities around us to power up small-scale electronic devices used in everyday life. To this purpose, flexible ...
Sequestration potential of phytolith occluded carbon in China's paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) is resistant to decomposition and, if crop residue biomass is incorporated into soil, has a significant potential for long-term soil carbon sequestration. However, the magnitude and spatial ...
Silicon fertilization influences microbial assemblages in rice roots and decreases arsenic concentration in grain: A five-season in-situ remediation field study
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2022)
Microbial mechanism of in-situ remediation of arsenic (As) in As-contaminated paddy fields by silicon (Si) fertilization has been rarely reported, especially under continuous rice cultivation and Si applications. In this ...
Controllable morphology, dielectric, magnetic and reflection loss characteristics of ferrite/wax composites for low-loss applications
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
In this work, composites of M-type Ba(1-x)SrxFe12O19 hexagonal ferrite (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) and paraffin wax have been prepared. Microwave characterization of the prepared composites was performed with a ...
Immobilization of yeast cell walls with surface displayed laccase from Streptomyces cyaneus within dopamine-alginate beads for dye decolorization
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
High amounts of toxic textile dyes are released into the environment due to coloring and wastewaters treatment processes' inefficiency. To remove dyes from the environment and wastewaters, researchers focused on applying ...
Mixed Mg-Co spinel ferrites: Structure, morphology, magnetic and photocatalytic properties
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
CoxMg1-xFe2O4 (where x was 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1) spinel ferrites were synthesized by the sol-gel combustion method using citric acid as fuel, following the rules of propellant chemistry. Amorphous powders ...
Live-Cell Synchrotron-Based FTIR Evaluation of Metabolic Compounds in Brain Glioblastoma Cell Lines after Riluzole Treatment
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2022)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor, characterized by short median survival and an almost 100% tumor-related mortality. The standard of care treatment for newly diagnosed GBM includes surgical ...
