Strength and functionalized borage biochar for effective elimination of nickel contamination: Insight into batch and dynamic flow mode treatment applications.

A silica gel-modified borage biochar (BB@Si) was first produced and used as a binding agent for potentially hazardous Ni ions in aqueous systems. The recommended biochar was more effective in eliminating Ni than pristine biochar (BB). Its maximum q could reach up to 1.

Application of machine learning algorithms and feature selection methods for better prediction of sludge production in a real advanced biological wastewater treatment plant.

Although the management of sewage sludge is an important and challenging task of wastewater treatment, there is a scarcity of studies on the prediction of waste sludge. To overcome this deficiency, the present work aims to develop an appropriate model providing accurate and fast prediction of sewage sludge. With this aim, different machine learning (ML) algorithms were tested by data obtained from a real advanced biological wastewater treatment plant located in Kocaeli, Turkey.

Carbon Nanofiber-Sodium Alginate Composite Aerogels Loaded with Vitamin D: The Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Effects on Colon Cancer Cells.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. A substantial body of literature supports the crucial role of vitamin D (VD) in the etiology, progression, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. Recent clinical studies have found an inverse correlation between CRC incidence and serum VD levels.
