Cellulose acetate in fabrication of polymeric membranes: A review.

Developing biodegradable polymers to fabricate filtration membranes is one of the main challenges of membrane science and technology. Cellulose acetate (CA) membranes, due to their excellent film-forming property, high chemical and mechanical stability, high hydrophilicity, eco-friendly, and suitable cost, are extensively used in water and wastewater treatment, gas separation, and energy generation purposes. The CA is one of the first materials used to fabricate filtration membranes.

Identification of bovine leukemia virus in raw milk samples in North-West of Iran.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is one of the most important carcinogenic viruses genetically related to the human T-cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2). The virus infects type B lymphocytes and creates lymph glands tumors. Recently, the association between the presence of this virus and breast cancer has been addressed in humans.

Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles supported on a high nitrogen-rich ordered mesoporous carbon as an efficient catalyst for room temperature Ullmann coupling of aryl chlorides in aqueous media.

An ionic liquid derived highly nitrogen-rich mesoporous carbon supported Au-Pd alloy was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the Ullmann coupling reaction of various aryl chlorides at room temperature in aqueous media.
