Currently used organic coatings for the protection of bronze sculptures have a relatively short lifespan as a consequence of strict requirements of conservation ethics, which limit the selection of coatings. For that reason, enhancement of the corrosion protection level and durability of appropriate coatings is needed. The aim of this work was to examine if corrosion protection of bronze by selected acrylic and polyurethane coatings could be improved by using two phosphonic acids, 16-phosphonohexadecanoic acid (COOH-PA) and 12-aminododecylphosphonic acid (NH-PA). Electrochemical measurements (linear polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS) were performed to gain an insight into the influence of these phosphonic acids on the performance of the coatings during a two-week exposure to artificial acid rain and a three-month outdoor exposure. Besides the influence on the corrosion protection level, the influence on the coating adhesion was examined as well. A pull-off test clearly confirmed that the studied phosphonic acids act as adhesion promoters of both polyurethane and acrylic coatings, while electrochemical studies revealed improvements in corrosion protection levels, especially in the case of the acrylic coating Paraloid B72.

We recently reported factors leading to different severity of ruminal pH drop in primiparous cows fed the same diet during transition and early lactation. The present study evaluates the effects of those severities on performance and several blood and balance parameters in the same 24 primiparous cows from 3 wk before calving until wk 10 in lactation. Dietary concentrate was increased for all cows from 32 before calving to 60% (DM basis) over the first wk in lactation, resulting in a diet with 40% non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC), and 14.

Demineralization of the chemically treated pig shoulder bone in hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and acetic acid was monitored by ATR-FTIR, Raman, and LIBS spectroscopies and SEM-EDX technique. SEM-EDX analysis showed reduced calcium and phosphorus content after the treatment with acids and erosion of the overall morphology of the bone compared to the sample kept in water. Alterations in bone structure during the 14-day-long immersion in acid solutions indicated significant chemical changes in the obtained spectra.

The present research aimed to investigate the demineralizing effects of sulfuric acid on pig bone. Alterations in collagen and phosphate contents and changes in the elemental composition of the bone during the 14-day-long immersion in sulfuric acid solutions of different concentrations were estimated using ATR-FTIR, LIBS, and AAS. FTIR spectra at amide I (1800-1600 cm) and phosphate ν/ν (PO) (1300-900 cm) domains were scrutinized using the deconvolution method for monitoring changes in the protein secondary structure and mineral content.

An efficient Mn(III)-promoted phosphorylation of dehydroalanine (Dha) has been developed to give unusual α-amino acids bearing phosphonates/phosphine oxides and β-vinyl phosphonates/phosphinates depending on N-protection of amino acid. N,N-diprotected dehydroalanine reacted with H-phosphonates and H-phosphine oxides to give structurally diverse phosphorylated α-amino acids through conjugate addition of phosphorous radical generated by Mn(OAc).2HO.

Phosphorus plays a crucial role in regulating many of the plant's metabolic activities by enhancing physiological functions and stimulating biological activities such as nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and nutrient uptake in the soil rhizosphere environment. Inoculants of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria serve as an eco-friendly alternative technology that positively influences both soil sustainability and plant growth. The majority of North Shewa highland areas are characterized by low available phosphorus, primarily acidic, and exhibit strong phosphorus absorption.
