A superoleophilic free-standing three-dimensional covalent organic framework membrane for water-oil flush demulsification.

A superoleophilic free-standing three-dimensional covalent organic framework membrane (TAM-DNDC 3D-COFM) with hydroxyl functionalized naphthalene is fabricated interfacially. The enhanced oil-wettability and anti-fouling properties of the 3D-COFM exhibited gravity-based efficient demulsification flux at a four-order magnitude compared to the phenyl cored-congener. The continuous demulsification efficiency (76 400 L m) will inspire large-scale applications.

Assessment of dimethoate and malathion mediated toxicity on Solanum lycopersicum L.

Nowadays organophosphate-based chemicals are most commonly used insecticides worldwide which are applicable to a wide range of crop plants. In this study, the effect of organophosphate insecticides, dimethoate (DM) and malathion (MT), was investigated on Solanum lycopersicum L. The seeds were germinated under in vivo conditions and after 1 month of germination, they were transferred to separate pots.

Pandemic Tattoo Reactions - A Scenario on the Surge; A Series of 30 Cases.

Since ancient era, tattooing has been very popular, but in the recent times, it has been perceived as a form of art and is quite popular for cosmetic purposes. During the COVID pandemic, while most businesses were struggling, the tattoo industry flourished. This in turn led to an increase in tattooing practices causing a surge in tattoo site complications as well.

Polyethylene Glycol-Based Refolding Kinetic Modulation of CRABP I Protein.

Crowding environment has a significant impact on the folding and stability of protein in biological systems. In this work, we have used four different sizes of a molecular crowder, polyethylene glycol (PEG), to analyze the unfolding and refolding kinetics of an iLBP protein, CRABP I, using urea as chemical denaturant. In general, the stability of the native state of the protein is boosted by the presence of crowding agents in the solution.
