Evaluation of the Influence of Eggshell (ES) Concentration on the Degradation Behavior of Mg-2.5Zn Biodegradable Alloy in Simulated Body Fluid.

Currently, permanent vascular stents are fabricated using titanium and stainless steel implants that are nondegradable and offer high stability, but they have certain disadvantages. For example, the prolonged exposition of aggressive ions in the physiological media and the existence of defects in the oxide film create conditions for corrosion to occur, thus triggering unwanted biological events and compromising the mechanical integrity of the implants. Moreover, when the implant does not need to be permanent, there is the need to submit the patient for a second surgery for implant removal.

Development of ZnO/SnO/rGO hybrid nanocomposites for effective photocatalytic degradation of toxic dye pollutants from aquatic ecosystems.

The impact of ZnO/SnO/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (ZnO/SnO/rGO NCs) for improved photocatalytic degradation of organic dye pollution is examined in this study. The developed ternary nanocomposites had a variety of characteristics that were detected, such as crystallinity, recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, energy gap, and surface morphologies. When rGO was added to the mixture, the optical band gap energy of ZnO/SnO was lowered, which improved the photocatalytic activity.

Biotransformation as a tool for remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from polluted environment - review on toxicity and treatment technologies.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a prominent family of persistent organic molecules produced by both anthropogenic and natural processes, are widespread in terrestrial and aquatic environments owing to their hydrophobicity, electrochemical stability and low aqueous solubility. Phenanthrene and naphthalene belong to the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons whose occurrence are reported to be relatively higher. The bioremediation mode of removing the toxicities of these two compounds has been reported to be promising than other methods.

Oscillation result for half-linear delay difference equations of second-order.

In this paper, we obtain the new single-condition criteria for the oscillation of second-order half-linear delay difference equation. Even in the linear case, the sharp result is new and, to our knowledge, improves all previous results. Furthermore, our method has the advantage of being simple to prove, as it relies just on sequentially improved monotonicities of a positive solution.
