The use of sewage sludge activated carbon (thickened samples ACS1 and non-thickened samples ACS2) in a variety of applications and simple environmentally friendly production techniques are attracting more and more attention. We offer here a novel environmentally friendly method based on the green synthesis of activated carbons (ACS1/ACS2) using sewage sludge (SS). These activated carbons are then used to effectively remove the water-based reactive dye phenol red (PR).

Article Synopsis
  • The scarcity of drinking water has led to increased interest in efficient methods for removing hazardous substances, particularly heavy metals, from wastewater.
  • A new sludge-based activated carbon adsorbent (SBAC1 and SBAC2) was developed to effectively remove cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from water, demonstrating high efficiency with nearly complete elimination of these metals.
  • The study utilized various analytical tools to characterize the adsorbents, establishing SBAC2's superior surface area and pore size, and confirmed strong adsorption performance and recyclability over multiple uses, making them promising options for treating contaminated water.

We investigated the anticancer mechanism of a chloroform extract of marine sponge () (sample C) in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells. Viability analysis using MTT and neutral red uptake (NRU) assays showed that sample C exposure decreased the proliferation of cells. Flow cytometric data exhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), dysfunction of mitochondrial potential, and apoptosis in sample C-treated MCF-7 cells.

Many stellar configurations, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, supermassive stars, and star clusters, rely on relativistic effects. The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation of the polytropic gas sphere is ultimately a hydrostatic equilibrium equation developed from the general relativity framework. In the modified Riemann Liouville (mRL) frame, we formulate the fractional TOV (FTOV) equations and introduce an analytical solution.

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in agricultural fields has risen to a level where people are considering NPs as an alternative to commercial fertilizers. The input of copper oxide NPs (CuO NPs) as seed primers was investigated in this study, and the growth indices of such as phenotypic parameters, photosynthetic attributes, and biochemical parameters were measured during maximum vegetative growth stage, i.e.
