TL;DR: The thermal analyses indicated an increase in the composites stability for samples with higher NiFe2O4 nanoparticles contents, and the electrical conductivity of PANI–NiFe 2O4 nanocomposite was found to increase with the rise in Ni Fe2O 4 nanoparticle content, probably due to the polaron/bipolaron formation.
166 citations
TL;DR: The Langmuir equilibrium model fitted well the experimental data indicating the homogeneity of the adsorbent surface sites, and the removal efficiency of MWCNTs for nickel ions or phenol in real wastewater samples at the optimum conditions reached up to 60% and 70%, respectively.
165 citations
TL;DR: It was concluded that WA could be blended with cement without adversely affecting the strength properties of concrete and the application of soft computing in structural engineering has been successfully presented in this research paper.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the usage of microbial biocatalysts for some natural product classes and natural product drugs is presented, which is the first review published in the literature.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the current views of the water transmission hypothesis and discussed its implications, concluding that the infection rate is especially higher in developing countries, where contaminated water, combined with social hardships and poor sanitary conditions, plays a key role.
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of the different generations of solar cells is reviewed, and an advanced photovoltaic cell, originally developed for satellites with solar conversion efficiency of 37.3%, based on concentration of the solar spectrum up to 400 suns was developed.
TL;DR: The FT-IR spectral study indicated that the primary and secondary amines associated with the polypeptide biomolecules could have been responsible for the reduction of the gold (III) ions to GNPs and their subsequent stabilization.
TL;DR: An application of the model to a real data set is analyzed using the new distribution, which shows that the exponentiated power Lindley distribution can be used quite effectively in analyzing real lifetime data.
TL;DR: The obtained data revealed that the drying rate of mint under forced convection was higher than that of Mint under natural convection, especially during first hours of drying (first day).
TL;DR: It is revealed that endophytes are good alternative sources for l-asparaginase production and they can be sourced from anticancer plants, particularly P. bleo.
TL;DR: Overall results suggest that HSR is a potential functional food ingredient high in fiber content and antioxidants activity that may be processed into flour and used in food applications, such as baked goods.
TL;DR: Comparisons of the calculated ignition delays with the experimental data of methane/air mixture diluted by N2 and CO2 show excellent agreement, and sensitivity coefficients of chain branching reactions which promote mixture ignition decrease with increasing dilution coefficient of N2 or CO2.
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of various aspects of microbial diversity (phylogenetic, functional, and genomic diversities) in the microbial world is clearly a daunting task that could not be aptly summarized in a single review.
TL;DR: This letter reports on mid-infrared laser-based detection and analysis of chemical species using broadly tunable laser sources and sensitive detection schemes for environmental and medical sensing.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the aquatic ecosystems receiving the effluents from handloom textile factories are heavily contaminated by Cr.
