The authors are interested in inorganic materials, especially transition metal complexes. Metal complexes are compounds that have been studied for a long time for their optical properties (light absorption) and chirality (chiroptical spectroscopy, structural crystal chemistry, and asymmetric catalytic reactions). However, since the unit is a \"molecule\", few examples as (optical) metamaterials have been reported to date. Is it possible to add a function as a composite material using one method? No, the functions resulting from the nano pattern are very difficult to retrofit.

The exopolysaccharide production plays a role in biofilm protection against environmental stress factors. Biofilm-forming bacteria exhibit different physiological properties in their response to environmental influences compared with their planktonic counterparts. This study aimed to investigate the impact of changing the concentrations of glucose, peptone, and yeast extract and environmental parameters, such as temperature, pH, anaerobic conditions, osmotic stresses, and growth media on biofilm formation by K. pneumonia MBB9 recovered from river-stones collected from the Porter Brook, Sheffield using crystal violet and resazurin assays in microtiter plates. The different concentrations of glucose (0.25, 0.5 and 1 g L-1), peptone (0.25, 0.5 and 1 g L-1) and yeast extract (0.25, 0.5 and 1 g L-1) as carbon and nitrogen sources found to have an impact on biofilm formation by K. pneumonia MBB9. The greatest biomass level being at 0.25 g L-1 for glucose whereas the density of biofilm increased significantly with increasing the concentration of peptone and yeast extract until 1 g L-1 of peptone and yeast extract, suggesting that higher levels of peptone and yeast extract can be beneficial for biofilm formation by K. pneumonia MBB9 in microtiter plates. The amount of biofilm was high at pH 4.5 and 0.6% NaCl; however, the significant reduction at pH 10.5 and 10.6% NaCl could be as a result of the slow growth under higher NaCl concentrations and highly alkaline condition. High-density biofilm produced at 40 °C; however, a temperature of 50 °C reduced the amount of biofilm by K. pneumonia MBB9, suggesting that more extreme temperatures might affect the formation of biofilm by inhibiting growth. Besides, biofilm production under anaerobic conditions was significantly lower (83% less) than under aerobic environments. Klebsiella pneumonia MBB9 possessed a high capacity to form biofilms on the surface of glass slide coupons.","PeriodicalId":11477,"journal":{"name":"Edelweiss Chemical Science Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79685818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wood fly ash with low content of pollutants was added to an agrowaste anaerobic digestate as alkaline stabilizer, which promoted the volatilization of ammonia and adsorption processes, and as nutrient supplement. The 39.71 ± 1.44 g blend was incubated for 60 hours at 20°C and 100 rpm in a closed chamber (250-mL Schott Duran® bottle) with a 5.21 ± 0.10 mL sulfuric acid trap of 10 different concentrations (0.11, 0.21, 0.32, 0.43, 0.54, 0.64, 0.75, 0.86, 0.96, and 1.07 mol/L). For analytical purposes, the sulfuric acid, water-soluble, and water-insoluble fractions of the blend were isolated after the incubation. The 1.07 mol/L sulfuric acid solution contained 23.69 ± 5.72 % more of ammonical nitrogen than the 0.11 mol/L solutions. However, in all cases the amount of nitrogen in the H2SO4 compartment was lower than the one in the water-soluble and water-insoluble fractions. Only the 15.52 ± 2.13 % of the nitrogen accounted after the incubation was found in the H2SO4 trap. The bottleneck of the NH3 stripping process was the rate of mass transfer at the interface between the blended fertilizer and the headspace of the closed chamber. The organic phosphorus was more susceptible to be adsorbed during the alkaline treatment with non-intrusive acidification than the nitrogen and carbon. Activation of the ash as adsorbent before mixing with the digestate should improve the properties of the blend as slow release fertilizer, since more nutrients would end in the water-insoluble fraction.","PeriodicalId":11477,"journal":{"name":"Edelweiss Chemical Science Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78548304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After phase separation, the volume of kerosene or light oil, depending on which oil was utilized, increased by 5 to 10%. Likewise tetradecane was used, and original tetradecane may be used as a template for the synthesis of new tetradecane. When commercial light oil was treated in the same way, most organic and inorganic impurities were removed from the oil and very clean light oil was obtained. We named it as dream light oil.

Different experimental conditions, including electrode composition, effect of pH and scan rate were estimated carefully by cyclic voltammetry to obtain the highest electrochemical response. By using square wave voltammetry a good linear response was obtained in the range of, 2 x 10-5-4 x10-4 mol L-1, and 2 x 10-7-1.6 x 10-4 mol L-1, with low detection limit of 5 x 10-6 mol L-1, and 4.9 x 10-8 mol L-1 by CPE and GNP/SMCPE respectively.
