Optimization of hydrochar synthesis conditions for enhanced Cd(II) and Pb(II) adsorption in mono and multimetallic systems.

The characterisation of hydrochars derived from Sargassum biomass collected along the Mexican Caribbean coast reveals their favourable morphology and chemical composition for incorporating metal ions, including Cd(II) and Pb(II). Among the synthesized materials, HCS-3, produced at 180 °C with a 2 h residence time, exhibited superior yield, specific area, carbon content, and capacity for removing Cd(II) and Pb(II). Adsorption equilibrium studies demonstrate the presence of adsorption processes during Cd(II) and Pb(II) retention on HCS-3, with adsorption capacities slightly exceeding 140 and 340 mg g⁻, respectively.

[Improving the Quality of Publications in and Advancing the Paradigms of Clinical and Social Pharmacy Practice Research: The Granada Statements].

Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences embrace a series of different disciplines. Pharmacy practice has been defined as "the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care". Thus, pharmacy practice studies embrace both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy elements.

Fundamentals in applications of algae biomass: A review.

Algae play an extremely important ecological role. They form the basis of trophic webs, produce oxygen that allows the respiration of many of the organisms in aquatic environments, absorb CO, and serve as refuge areas and habitats for thousands of species. Many species can also absorb organic pollutants from seawater.

Soil science and environmental research.

As indicated in the call for papers posted for this Special Issue, Soil Science deals with various environmental compartments, so it is closely related to Environmental Research. It is clear that synergisms and collaboration are keys to reach the most fruitful relations among different sciences and scientists, and especially in all that focused on the Environment. In this line, considering Soil Science, Environmental Research, and the multiple and complex eventual combinations involving them, could give new highly interesting works focused on any of the specific subjects covered, as well as on relations among these sciences.

Valorization of Biomass as Potential Material for the Remediation of Heavy-Metals-Contaminated Waters.

algae has become a major environmental issue due to its abundance in the Pacific Ocean with hundreds of tons reaching the beaches of the Mexican Caribbean every year. This generates large quantities of decomposing organic matter that have a negative impact on the region's economy and ecosystems. valorization has turned out to be a fundamental aspect to mitigate its environmental impact.

[Impact of lockdown on physical activity of patients with osteoarthritis during the COVID-19 pandemic].

Introduction: Physical activity is essential in the osteoarthritis population, however, confinement during the COVID pandemic forced lifestyle changes. An observational and descriptive study was conducted to assess physical exercise in people with degenerative osteoarticular disease (DOD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material And Methods: A telephone survey was conducted among people over 60 years of age with DOD previously treated at the Hospital Central de la Cruz Roja, assessing physical exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic confinement.

Effect of operational parameters on photocatalytic degradation of ethylparaben using rGO/TiO composite under UV radiation.

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of different operational variables (catalyst loading, initial EtP concentration, medium pH, the presence of anions and radical scavengers) on the performance of ethylparaben (EtP) photodegradation catalyzed with an rGO/TiO composite. EtP was selected for study after analyzing the effect of paraben chain length on its catalytic photodegradation, finding that the photodegradation rate constant values of methyl-, ethyl-, and butyl-paraben are 0.050, 0.

Methotrexate Gold Nanocarriers: Loading and Release Study: Its Activity in Colon and Lung Cancer Cells.

In the present study, the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) loaded with methotrexate (MTX) has been carried out in order to obtain controlled size and monodispersed nanocarriers of around 20 nm. The characterization study shows metallic AuNPs with MTX polydispersed on the surface. MTX is linked by the replacement of citrate by the MTX carboxyl group.

Chromatin Structure and Function in Mosquitoes.

The principles and function of chromatin and nuclear architecture have been extensively studied in model organisms, such as . However, little is known about the role of these epigenetic processes in transcriptional regulation in other insects including mosquitoes, which are major disease vectors and a worldwide threat for human health. Some of these life-threatening diseases are malaria, which is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus and transmitted by mosquitoes; dengue fever, which is caused by an arbovirus mainly transmitted by ; and West Nile fever, which is caused by an arbovirus transmitted by spp.

Degradation of the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide by UV/Solar radiation assisted oxidation processes.

The objective of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with Solar and UV radiation (UV/HO, UV/KSO) for the degradation of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a widely used diuretic drug, in aqueous solution focusing on the influence of four experimental parameters: initial concentration of HCTZ, solution pH, nature of the water matrix, and initial concentration of radicals. The obtained results showed that using both kinds of direct photolysis (UV and Solar), the percentage of degraded HCTZ was low, but there was a decrease in the degradation rate favored by the increase of the initial concentration of this pollutant. In addition, the degradation rates were higher at acid pHs.

Halide removal from water using silver doped magnetic-microparticles.

This study proposes the use of new materials based on core-shell structure magnetic microparticles with Ag (Ag(0)-MPs) on their surface to remove bromides and chlorides from waters intended for human consumption. Hydrogen peroxide was used as oxidizing agent, Ag(0)-MPs is thereby oxidized to Ag (I)-MPs, which, when in contact with Cl and Br ions, form the corresponding silver halide (AgCl and AgBr) on the surface of Ag-MPs. The concentration of Cl and Br ions was followed by using ion selective electrodes (ISEs).

Removal of bisphenols A and S by adsorption on activated carbon clothes enhanced by the presence of bacteria.

This study investigated the adsorption of two endocrine-disrupting chemicals, bisphenol A (BPA) and S (BPS), from water using activated carbon clothes (ACCs), as-received and oxidized, in the absence and presence of bacteria, analyzing both kinetic and equilibrium adsorption data. Kinetic study of the different systems showed that the adsorption rate was affected both by the oxidation of the adsorbent and by the presence of bacteria. Bisphenol adsorption kinetics followed a second-order kinetic model, with rate constants between 0.

Photocatalytic oxidation of diuron using nickel organic xerogel under simulated solar irradiation.

In this study, a nickel organic xerogel (X-Ni) was used as semiconductor photocatalyst for the degradation of the herbicide diuron (DRN) in aqueous solution.
