Some microorganisms in the environment make siderophores, which are low molecular chelators, to take up minerals from soil. Eleven bacteria were separated from the root of white clover by chlome azrol S (CAS) assay. Each bacterium was incubated in casamino acid (CAA) culture, and siderophores in CAA culture were purified. These extractions were applied to biotite or vermiculite spiked with Cs. From each clay mineral, 57.1-72.8% (5100 ppm), 55.6-63.8% (920 ppm) and 48.6-54.3% (2300 ppm), 31.6-34.4% (520 ppm) was eluted, respectively. To understand elution behaviour, Cs desorption ratio of each clay was measured every 30 min. The results indicate Cs elution was occurred quickly.

This paper investigates the elution behavior of scandium from DEHPA (Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid)-impregnated resins that proceed with metal loading from acidic chloride solutions. DEHPA resins stem from their recognized selectivity for Sc extraction from acidic solutions. This study focuses on the elution process after ion-exchange extraction and examines various elution systems to achieve selective Sc recovery.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a treatment method that involves reopening narrowed arteries with a balloon catheter that delivers a cylindrical, mesh-shaped implant device to the site of the stenosis. Currently, by applying a coating to a bare metal stent (BMS) surface to improve biocompatibility, the main risks after PCI, such as restenosis and thrombosis, are reduced while maintaining the basic requirements for the mechanical behavior of the stent itself. In this work, for the first time, the development and optimization process of the spatial structure of the Co-Cr stent (L-605) with a graphene-based coating using cold-wall chemical vapor deposition (CW-CVD) to ensure uniform coverage of the implant was attempted.

Background: Older adults and Hispanic individuals are increasingly turning to social media platforms to access health-related information. The purpose of this project was to evaluate a social media campaign to disseminate information from decision aids (DAs) on hip and knee osteoarthritis to Spanish-speaking adults.
Methods: A social media marketing team helped create an 8-mo campaign posted across 3 social media platforms to promote visits to a Web site offering free multilingual DAs for treatment of hip or knee osteoarthritis.

Separation of high-activity Bi from Ac for targeted alpha therapy is challenging due to the instability of existing sorbents. Surface-modified carbon materials have shown promise for use in inverse Ac/Bi generators. However, previously reported materials with irregular shapes may limit their applications in column separations.

Catalytic reduction of nitrate to dinitrogen (N) by noble metals stands as a feasible and promising manner to address the biological and environmental issues associated with nitrate pollution; however, nitrate reduction under single noble-metal catalyzation remains substantially stuck because of the low adsorption enthalpy of noble metal toward nitrate. Tailoring the formation (crystal structure and particle size) of catalytical metal particles, coupled with a more direct electron donating pattern, provides a potential solution for the main challenge in reduction efficiency and selectivity. In this study, we assembled a Pd-based nanocomposite (Pda@EC) by subtly regulating the embedded Pd nanoparticles inside a porous substrate self-sufficient in electron donator (i.
