Article Synopsis
  • A novel nanocomposite, FeO@coPPy-PTH, was created to efficiently extract and measure metal ions like Co(II), Cr(III), and Ni(II) using advanced techniques without needing a chelating agent.
  • The nanocomposite showed excellent stability and good dispersion in strong acidic solutions, with the size of the FeO nanoparticles ranging from 30 nm to 120 nm after coating.
  • Under optimized conditions, the method provided high precision with low detection limits, and it was effectively applied to analyze metal content in beverages like beer, wine, and nonalcoholic drinks.

Thermal stratification can cause various water quality issues in large water bodies. To address this, a new wind-powered artificial mixing system is designed and experimentally tested for various Savonius rotor combinations (three-stage and four-stage rotors). These turbines directly utilize wind energy to draw air into the water column for aeration, bypassing the need for electrical conversion.

Introduction: The common target audience of the current guidelines for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections is represented by healthcare workers. Behavioral protocols for visitors and caregivers that aim to prevent healthcare-associated infections are still not available. The aim of this study was to determine the behavior of the visitors and to determine possible behavior that would contribute to the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms, in order to provide suggestions for visitors in the post-pandemic period.
