Toxicity of three comercial tannins to the nuisance invasive species Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857): implications for control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Adding biocides to water is one strategy to control macrofouling organisms. A natural biocide that helps to prevent/control macrofouling of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) on human installations is one way to minimize environmental impacts of ...

Dual‐Anchored Clickable Peptide via SPAAC for Gelatinase‐Responsive Antibacterial and Osteogenic Functions on Titanium Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the infection‐associated orthopedic implant failures, this study presents a gelatinase‐responsive antibacterial titanium implant (Ti‐Dual) featuring a dual‐anchored fusion peptide containing antibacterial (HHC36) and osteogenic (RGD) domains connected by a cleavable GPLGV linker.

Optimization of the bi-oleothermal treatment process for wood preservation and fireproofing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The bi-oleothermal© process (combination of oil and heat treatment) is a well mastered alternative method for wood protection. However, the fire behavior and resistance to decay of bi-oleothermally treated wood are not good enough to ensure performance ...

Mechanism of Hydrogen Sulfide Generation and Prevention Strategies in Oil and Gas Fields: A Case Study of the Sickle Bay Operation Area

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the persistent exceedance of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations and the limited effectiveness of existing treatments in the Sickle Bay oil production area, this study deeply analyzes the mechanism of H2S generation in the Sickle Bay oil production area and proposes targeted prevention and control strategies. The results show that

The Impact of Storms on Legionella pneumophila in Cooling Tower Water, Implications for Human Health

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, SC, cooling tower water is routinely monitored for Legionella pneumophila concentrations using a direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) technique. Historically, 25–30 operating SRS cooling

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

Development of antiseptic adaptation and cross-adapatation in selected oral pathogens in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
There is evidence that pathogenic bacteria can adapt to antiseptics upon repeated exposure. More alarming is the concomitant increase in antibiotic resistance that has been described for some pathogens.

Epigenotoxicity: Decoding the epigenetic imprints of genotoxic agents and their implications for regulatory genetic toxicology

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulatory genetic toxicology focuses on DNA damage and subsequent gene mutations. However, genotoxic agents can also affect epigenetic marks, and incorporation of epigenetic data into the regulatory framework may thus enhance the accuracy of risk assessment.

OPTIMIZATION OF BIOCIDE STRATEGIES ON FINE PAPER MACHINES

open access: yesBioResources, 2010
In this study a rapid at-line ATP (adenosine triphosphate) analysis is applied in papermaking. This ATP analysis takes less than a minute, and the information can be utilized instantly to adapt the biocide program. The study shows the effect of different
