Ammonium recovery from wastewater by ion exchange using porous metakaolin geopolymer granules over extended adsorption/regeneration cycles

Applied Surface Science Advances
Ion exchange on porous geopolymer granules represents a potentially promising unit process for ammonium (NH4+) recovery from wastewater. However, the previous studies have not systematically optimized the regeneration nor evaluated the robustness of the ...

Intensifying the response of distributed optical fibre sensors using 2D and 3D image restoration

Nature Communications, 2016
Optical fibres offer a way of sensing across a wide area, providing a spatial and temporal map of the measured parameter. Here, the authors use image and video processing to remove noise and increase the contrast in such a distributed optical fibre ...

Hydrostatic pressure activates HIF‐1α via β‐catenin to promote stemness in breast cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To mimic the elevated intestinal fluid pressure in breast cancers, we loaded human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐453, and BT‐474) to 50 mmHg hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure exposure upregulated HIF‐1α and induced stemness in MCF‐7 and BT‐474 cells.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Pretreatment of jute and banana fibre—its effect on blended yarn and fabric

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
Jute, a lignocellulosic bast fibre, is mainly utilized for making packaging materials. Whereas, banana fibres are extracted from the sheath of the banana trunk which is underutilized and used for making ropes for domestic purposes. Jute and banana fibres,

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...
