DcaP porin and its epitope-based subunit promise effective vaccines against Acinetobacter baumannii; in-silico and in-vivo approaches.

A. baumannii is a multi-drug resistant pathogen with a relatively high mortality rate. To date, no vaccine has been approved against this bacterium.

Application of ultrasonic radiation for simultaneous removal of auramine O and safranine O by copper sulfide nanoparticles: experimental design.

In this study, copper sulfide nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (CuS-NP-AC) were synthesized by novel, low cost and green approach and characterized using SEM and XRD. The application of this material for the simulations removal of auramine O (AO) and safranine O (SO) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The dependency of removal percentages to variables such as pH, initial dyes concentration, adsorbent dosage, sonication time and sonication temperature were studied with response surface methodology (RSM) by considering the desirability function (DF).
