Edward Calvin Kendall: A Pioneer in Biochemistry and Endocrinology.

Edward Calvin Kendall was a distinguished American biochemist known for pioneering research on adrenal cortex hormones, notably cortisone. This review article examines Kendall's life, career, and key scientific contributions, including his groundbreaking work on thyroid hormones and corticosteroids. The discussion emphasizes Kendall's role in advancing biochemical research and his lasting influence on physiology and medicine.

Adsorption of Safranin O Dye by Alginate/Pomegranate Peels Beads: Kinetic, Isotherm and Thermodynamic Studies.

Water pollution is regarded as a dangerous problem that needs to be resolved right away. This is largely due to the positive correlation between the increase in global population and waste production, especially food waste. Hydrogel beads based on sodium alginate (Alg) and pomegranate fruit peels (PP) were developed for the adsorption of Safranin O dye (SO) in aqueous solutions.

Application of Response Surface Methodology For Modeling and Optimization of A Bio Coagulation Process (Sewage Wastewater Treatment Plant).

Cactus has shown great capabilities as a bio coagulant/flocculent in the treatment of wastewater and as a factor for sustainable development of the environment, due to its abundance and non-toxicity for human health. This has encouraged the present study based on the design of experiments to optimize the two operating factors: the bio coagulant dosage and initial pH. The effect of these considered factors on turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction performances was investigated to treat sewage wastewater from plants by the coagulation/flocculation process using the response surface methodology (RSM) based on a central composite faced design (CCFD).

Intensification of light green SF yellowish (LGSFY) photodegradion in water by iodate ions: Iodine radicals implication in the degradation process and impacts of water matrix components.

The results of this work showed that UV/IO oxidation process supplies good performance in the degradation of light green SF yellowish (LGSFY) dye in deionized water. This process generated reactive iodine radicals that make the degradation much faster than the sole UV irradiation. The assistance of UV-irradiation by 10 mM of iodate increased the LGSFY removal after 10 min from 36% to 90% for C = 10 mg/L and from 18% to 85% for C = 20 mg/L.
