In this study, the adsorptive characteristics of biochar generated from anaerobically digested garden wastes (AD-char) were investigated. Metal adsorption onto AD-chars reached equilibrium in 48 h; the adsorption capacity of Cu2+ by AD-char was 182 μmol ...

Modeling surface chemistry and adsorption behavior of biomimetic chitosan/silica hybrid materials
Chitosan/silica hybrid powders, obtained by the sol-gel method (pH 6, 7, 8) are studied for proposing surface chemical models and rationalizing their behaviour as adsorbents.

Kinetic, Thermodynamic and Adsorption Mechanism of Uranium (VI) Ions from Aqueous Solutions Using Mg/Al Layered Double Hydroxide [PDF]
Layered double hydroxide (Mg/Al; 3:1) was synthesized by co-precipitation method and used to adsorb uranium from aqueous solutions. Various environmental parameters such as contact time, pH, initial uranium concentration and temperature were investigated.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Charged rosettes at high and low ionic strengths
The complexation between a semiflexible polyelectrolyte and an oppositely charged macroion leads to a multitude of structures ranging from tight complexes with the chain wrapped around the macroion to open multileafed rosette-like complexes.

A two-component polymeric optode membrane based on a multifunctional ionic liquid [PDF]
This work details the use of a 2-component optode membrane which is capable of generating three distinct colours in the presence of Cu2+ and Co2+ ions.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Overcharging of a macroion by an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte
The complexation of a polyelectrolyte with an oppositely charged spherical macroion is studied for both salt free and salty solutions. When a polyelectrolyte winds around the macroion, its turns repel each other and form an almost equidistant coil. It is

Disregarded effect of biological fluids in siRNA delivery : human ascites fluid severely restricts cellular uptake of nanoparticles [PDF]
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) offers a great potential for the treatment of various diseases and disorders. Nevertheless, inefficient in vivo siRNA delivery hampers its translation into the clinic.
