Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on creating and optimizing a new nanocomposite made of titanium oxide and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (TO@CTAB) that effectively removes malachite green and methyl orange dyes from water, using advanced statistical methods for performance optimization.
- - The research indicates that TO@CTAB has a mesoporous structure with specific characteristics, and the adsorption of dyes is highly efficient, showing better performance with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics.
- - The nanocomposite demonstrates significant reusability over multiple cycles and performs well in treating real wastewater, achieving an 82% decolorization efficiency while also reducing several water quality parameters, making it a cost-effective
Article Synopsis
- * Using advanced sequencing and genomic tools, researchers identified key microbial communities, specifically Pannonibacter and Novosphingobium, that can metabolize various xenobiotic compounds, showcasing their potential for pollution degradation.
- * The study highlights specific enzymes and hub genes involved in the degradation pathways, emphasizing the metabolic versatility of hot spring microbes and the ecological importance of preserving such diverse habitats for future bioremediation efforts.
Objective: To determine the frequency of deliberate self-harm (DSH), risk factors leading to DSH, and the methods adopted by medical students and young doctors to execute DSH.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on medical college students and young doctors aged 18-26 years. After approval by the parent institute's ethical board, different medical students and doctors from Pakistani medical colleges of both male and female populations were recruited through non-probability sampling.
This study explores the dual applications of a greenly synthesized ZnO@CTAB nanocomposite for the efficient remediation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and lead (Pb). The synthesis method involves a sustainable approach, emphasizing environmentally friendly practices. FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, zeta potential, and particle size analyzer (PSA), BET, and UV-VIS were used to physically characterize the zinc oxide and CTAB nanocomposite (ZnO@CTAB).

The raw sequence data from metagenomic paired-end libraries were analysed for taxonomic classification, diversity, and functional annotation using MG-RAST online server. The results showed the presence of total of 57 phyla, 931 genera, and 2068 species, predominantly occupied by Moraxellaceae (Gammaproteobacteria).
