ABSTRACT The peritoneal reflection bridges visceral and parietal peritoneum and lacks adjoining or underlying organs. As such it provides an opportunity to perform a focussed examination of the peritoneum in Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to exploit this anatomical property and conduct a multilayered, focussed examination of the peritoneal ...

Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.

Marine Bacterial Growth Rates in the Presence of Microplastics
This study investigated the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the growth of marine bacteria in the open ocean to try to obtain a general picture on whether or not bacteria can be harmed by or benefit from the presence of MPs in their environment ...

The micro(nano)plastics perspective: exploring cancer development and therapy
Microplastics, as an emerging environmental pollutant, have received widespread attention for their potential impact on ecosystems and human health. Microplastics are defined as plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and can be categorized

The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...
