Nanocomposites for Water Treatment, Photocatalysis, and Challenges: A Systematic Review
A nanocomposite synthesized via sol‐gel, chemical vapor deposition, or in‐situ polymerization effectively removes dyes and heavy metals from water, yielding purified water. Additionally, it exhibits high photocatalytic degradation efficiency under visible or UV light.

Adsorption of pentachlorophenol onto activated carbon in a fixed bed : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Environmental Engineering at Massey University [PDF]
The adsorption of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from water onto granular activated carbon (GAC) was studied. Equilibrium and kinetic behaviour was studied, and the results used to predict fixed bed adsorber behaviour.

Thioxolone derivatives are evaluated for antibacterial and anti‐diabetic potential. Compounds T‐11, T‐12, and T‐13 exhibit potent antibacterial activity against E. coli, B. cereus, and S. aureus, with low MIC values. T‐11 and T‐3 show stronger α‐glucosidase inhibition than acarbose, while molecular docking reveals T‐13 as the strongest binder ...

Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER): a functional parameter to monitor the quality of oviduct epithelial cells cultured on filter supports [PDF]
Cultivation of oviduct epithelial cells on porous filters fosters in vivo-like morphology and functionality. However, due to the optical properties of the filter materials and the cells’ columnar shape, cell quality is hard to assess via light microscopy.

Abstract To overcome the current limitations of conventional technologies for removing adsorbable organic halides (AOX) from wastewater, advanced chemical and electrochemical processes are attracting interest. This work aims to systematically review the latest findings for the removal of AOX compounds from wastewater, discussing the current main gaps ...

Activated date carbon: a sustainable solution for Pentachlorophenol adsorption in reused wastewater
Industrial wastewaters contain persistent and toxic organic compounds that pose a significant risk to public health and the environment upon release. Phenol and its derivatives are examples of such pollutants.

Dual roles of spent mushroom substrate on soil improvement and enhanced drought tolerance of wheat Triticum aestivum [PDF]
This study examines the effects of the spent substrate of oyster mushroom (SMS) for growing wheat at different drought conditions. The SMS not only served as the sole fertilizer to produce normal growth and grain yield of wheat but also improved the soil

Rapid EC50 determination of hydrophobic toxicants in continuous droplet biomicrofluidics
Droplet-based bioassays are attractive for increasing throughput while minimizing reagent consumption. However, the choice of continuous oil phase within the bioassay can substantially alter assay outcomes when hydrophobic reagents and analytes ...
