Utilization of Composts for Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solutions: Kinetics and Equilibrium Studies
(MDPI, 2020)
Utilization of composts as low-cost adsorbents is an important application in the field of environmental remediation, but these materials have not yet been extensively used for dye removal. In this work, we have studied ...
Fractional Langevin Equation Involving Two Fractional Orders: Existence and Uniqueness Revisited
(MDPI, 2020)
We consider the nonlinear fractional Langevin equation involving two fractional orders with initial conditions. Using some basic properties of Prabhakar integral operator, we find an equivalent Volterra integral equation ...
Environmental assessment of viticulture waste valorisation through composting as a biofertilisation strategy for cereal and fruit crops
(Elsevier, 2020)
Composting is a solid waste management alternative that avoids the emission of methane associated with its disposal in landfill and reduces or eliminates the need for chemical fertilisers if compost is applied. The main ...
Biological Activities of Cyclic and Acyclic B-Type Laxaphycins in SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells
(MDPI, 2020)
Laxaphycins are a family of non-ribosomal lipopeptides that have been isolated from several cyanobacteria. Some of these compounds have presented cytotoxic activities, but their mechanism of action is poorly understood. ...
Transungual Delivery, Anti-Inflammatory Activity, and In Vivo Assessment of a Cyclodextrin Polypseudorotaxanes Nail Lacquer
(MDPI, 2020)
A new cyclodextrin polypseudorotaxanes nail lacquer (Regenail®) containing biotin, methyl sulphonyl methane (MSM), and dimethylsilanediol salicylate was developed and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The product was developed ...
Dialkylketones in paperboard food contact materials—method of analysis in fatty foods and comparative migration into liquid simulants versus foodstuffs
(MDPI, 2020)
Dialkyl diketene dimers are used as sizing agents in the manufacture of paper and board for food contact applications to increase wetting stability. Unbound residues can hydrolyze and decarboxylate into dialkylketones. ...
Numerical Solution of Stieltjes Differential Equations
(MDPI, 2020)
This work is devoted to the obtaining of a new numerical scheme based on quadrature formulae for the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral for the approximation of Stieltjes ordinary differential equations. This novel method allows ...
A Novel Technique to Solve the Fuzzy System of Equations
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this research is to apply a novel technique based on the embedding method to solve the n×n fuzzy system of linear equations (FSLEs). By using this method, the strong fuzzy number solutions of FSLEs can be obtained ...
Screening of Bacterial Quorum Sensing Inhibitors in a Vibrio fischeri LuxR-Based Synthetic Fluorescent E. coli Biosensor
(MDPI, 2020)
A library of 23 pure compounds of varying structural and chemical characteristics was screened for their quorum sensing (QS) inhibition activity using a synthetic fluorescent Escherichia coli biosensor that incorporates a ...
Identification of Prognosis Associated microRNAs in HNSCC Subtypes Based on TCGA Dataset
(MDPI, 2020)
We calculate the effects of doping nanostructuration and the patterning of thin films of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) with the aim of optimizing their functionality as sensing materials for resistive transition-edge ...
