We investigate the recording dynamics of Omnidex photopolymer film from DuPont. We use a reviewed version of the diffusion model proposed by Zhao and Mouroulis [J. Mod. Opt. 41, 1929 (1994)] in order to describe the recording response that combined photopolymerization and free-monomer diffusion process. Two different experiments are detailed that lead to the determination of material kinetic parameters. These values are introduced in the numerical model to provide quantitative simulations of a grating formation under various holographic exposures. Theoretical results are experimentally checked as a validation of the model. We extend its applications to several secondary investigations, such as volume-shrinkage influence on refractive-index distribution and spectral selectivity of reflection gratings. This study improves the understanding of the recording process and consequently allows to build more accurate holographic components in this material to be built.

Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, Rafet Kayis Engineering Faculty, Department of Engineering Basic Science, 07450, Alanya, Antalya, Turkiye.

Removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) from aqueous solutions was performed by the batch adsorption process. Colemanite was characterized as an adsorbent by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). The effects of contact time, the effect of the initial concentration of the dye, the amount of adsorbent and temperature parameters on the removal of RhB were investigated.

Evaluation of anion exchange resin for sorption of selenium (IV) from aqueous solutions.

BMC Chem

January 2025

Nuclear Chemistry Department, Hot Laboratories Center, Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority, P.O. 13759, Cairo, Egypt.

In this work, selenium (IV) ions were adsorbed from aqueous solutions by the strongly basic anion exchange resin Amberlite IRA-400. The morphology of the resin before and after Se(IV) sorption was investigated using different techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To determine the ideal sorption conditions, a batch approach was used to examine the variables affecting Se(IV) sorption performance, including pH, shaking time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature.

Kinetically controlled irreversible unfolding of esterase from Clostridium acetobutylicum: Thermal deactivation kinetics and structural studies.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Applied and Industrial Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Biotechnology, Bhupat and Jyoti Mehta School of Biosciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, Chennai 600036, India. Electronic address:

This study involves the thermal characterization of Ca-Est, an esterase from Clostridium acetobutylicum which has been previously found to exhibit maximum specific activity at 60 °C. In the present study, Ca-Est showed maximum stability at 30 °C with almost 75 % of its initial activity being retained after incubation for 5 h and the stability decreased with increasing temperature. Analysis of the thermodynamic parameters revealed that the deactivation of Ca-Est is endothermic and enthalpically favored.

The increasing threat of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, which rapidly develops multidrug resistance and commonly colonizes wound surfaces, demands innovative strategies. Phage-encoded endolysins offer a dual-purpose approach as topical therapies for infectious skin wounds and synergistic agents to reduce high-dose antibiotic dependence. This study explores recombinant CHAPk (rCHAPk), efficiently synthesized within 3 h, displaying broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against 11 Gram-positive strains, including resistant variants, with rapid bactericidal kinetics.

Probing Single-Cell Adhesion Kinetics and Nanomechanical Force with Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Biosensor National Special Laboratory, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, PR China.

Single cell adhesion plays a significant role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. Real-time imaging and quantification of single cell adhesion kinetics and corresponding cell-substrate mechanical interaction forces are crucial for elucidating the cellular mechanisms involved in tissue formation, immune responses, and cancer metastasis. Here, we present the development of a plasmonic-based nanomechanical sensing and imaging system (PNMSi) for the real-time measurement of single cell adhesion kinetics and associated nanomechanical forces with plasmonic tracking and monitoring of cell-substrate interactions and the accompanying nanoscale fluctuations.
