Adsorbent Materials for Hydrocarbons Removal by Geopolymerization of Halloysite Clay Nanotubes Filled Within Chitosan Matrix

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Alkaline activation of halloysite clay nanotubes embedded in a chitosan matrix converts bionanocomposite films into porous geopolymeric materials with enhanced adsorption capacity toward hydrocarbons in both vapor and aqueous phases. The improved adsorption performance was demonstrated by the efficient capture of dodecane vapors and phenol from water ...

Alternate Nitrogen Amendments for Organic Fertilizers [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001
The use of compost or manure in agriculture as an organic source of nutrients is common in many tropical, developing countries like Nigeria. One of the drawbacks of such materials is their low nitrogen (N) content (=1% N). Farmers commonly use chemical N fertilizers such as urea, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), and NPK formulations to obtain better ...

Soil acidification dismantles a citrulline-mediated microbe-metabolite-host defense axis in watermelon, exacerbating Fusarium wilt

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Soil acidification disrupts the structure and function of soil microbiomes, resulting in increased vulnerability to soil-borne pathogens. While the link between soil acidification and disease susceptibility is well-established, the mechanisms underlying ...

Inhibition of IGFBP4 in Granulosa Cells Improves Reproductive Performance and Maintains Fertility With Age via YAP Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 is upregulated in granulosa cells of aged ovaries across monkeys, mice, and humans. It inhibits YAP signaling, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and contributing to follicular dysfunction. Deletion of Igfbp4 in granulosa cells enhances ovulatory output, improves hormone profiles, and reproductive performance in aged female mice, suggesting ...
