Specifically, the long chains of polymers, characterized by their high molecular weight, begin to fragment. This fragmentation results in the creation of volatile substances with significantly lower molecular weights. As the decomposition progresses, these newly formed volatile compounds do not remain ...
Here, we present a series of colorimetric assays based on plasmonic MoO3-x nanosheets for visual colorimetric detection of atmospheric sulfate formation-involved substances, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), Fe2+/Fe3+, bisulfite (HSO3−), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). We show that the plasmonic ...
“An individual RTECS record may include as little as a single toxicity citation in addition to the identifiers or it may contain multiple citations, in the cases of widely studied substances. Benz(a)pyrene, for example, includes more than 300 toxicity lines.” Pg 13 “The process of maintai...
Plant biostimulants (PB) can be considered an environmentally friendly agronomic tool to enhance abiotic stress tolerance, address environmental concerns, and fulfil the need to develop sustainable agriculture [10]. Humic substances are one of the most used PB. They are part of a market that grows...
However, it was difficult to express the bitterness suppression by sweeteners, which is decided by the balance of substances produced in human’s brain (functional masking). High-potency sweeteners are one of the sweeteners used for bitterness-masking in food and pharmaceutical industry. The ...
Mannose is transported into mammalian cells via facilitated diffusion hexose transporters of the SLC2A group (GLUT) present primarily on the plasma membrane. Various cell lines transport 6.5 – 23.0 nmols/hr/mg protein [6], but no mannose-specific or -preferential transporters have been reported ...
such as their ability to collect and accumulate analytes on sensor surfaces, their fitness for application on devices such as thin adherent films (sensing skins), and their selective interactions with vapor determined by their chemical structure, biopolymers are convenient substances for chemical vapor ...
Moreover, plasma contains a large amount of highly energetic/reactive substances such as electrons, ions, and free radicals, thus non-thermal plasma can effectively catalyze chemical reactions at near room temperature [22]. Laser not only enables transient ultra-high temperatures but also provides ...
substances (PoTSs, coined by [61]) on microplastics. Majority of PoTSs are largely additives and have been reviewed recently by [61]. Also, research is needed to understand/know the sources of toxic chemicals found on microplastics, whether they came from additives or from ambient environment ...
One of the steps made in the direction of improving modern agriculture sustainability was the introduction of plant biostimulants in the crop cultivation. These substances, as further explained later, allow to reduce the chemical inputs in the crop production, by enhancing the plants’ physiological...
