Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were surface functionalized using four distinct chemical moieties (amidoxime, hydrazone, ethylenediamine (EDA), and diethylenetriamine (DETA)), producing modified HNTs (H1-H4) capable of binding with Cr(vi) ions. Advanced techniques like FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX provided evidence of the successful functionalization of these HNTs. Notably, the functionalization occurred on the surface of HNTs, rather than within the interlayer or lumen.

Article Synopsis
  • Amphiphilic copolymers, specifically P(DMAEMA-co-MMA), are important biomaterials due to their effectiveness in preventing bacterial growth and are synthesized through free radical polymerization.
  • The study tested the antibacterial activity of these copolymers against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using the disk diffusion method, with the PDM1 variant showing significant inhibition zones.
  • Additionally, PDM1 and PDM2 showed strong control over bacterial biofilm adhesion, suggesting potential applications in bioreactors, sensors, surgical tools, and drug delivery systems.

Climate co-benefits of alternate strategies for tourist transportation: The case of Murree Hills in Pakistan.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

May 2019

Institute of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, National University of Sciences and Technology H-12 Campus, Islamabad, 44000, Pakistan.

This study explores the climate impacts of on-road tourist transportation with alternate mitigation strategies. To this end, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 2016 and emissions under four "what-if" scenarios were estimated for a popular tourist site in Pakistan, i.e.

Since the last decade, various genome sequencing projects have led to the accumulation of an enormous set of genomic data; however, numerous protein-coding genes still need to be functionally characterized. These gene products are called "hypothetical proteins". The hypothetical protein pecanex-like protein 2 (PCNXL2) is found to be mutated in colorectal carcinoma with microsatellite instability; therefore, annotation of the function of PCNXL2 in tumorigenesis is very important.

Road salts are frequently used for deicing of roads in the Nordic countries. During snow-melt, the road run-off containing high concentrations of road salt and various metals such as Cu remobilized from sand, silt and dust may negatively influence organisms in downstream receiving water bodies. The present work focuses on the impact of road salt (NaCl) and Cu, separately and in mixtures on Atlantic salmon alevins from hatching till swim-up.
