ENHANCED CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF COMPOSITES OF NIFE2O4 AND NANO CELLULOSE DERIVED FROM WASTE BIOMASS FOR THE MITIGATION OF ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

Enhanced catalytic activity of composites of NiFe2O4 and nano cellulose derived from waste biomass for the mitigation of organic pollutants

This study reports facile in situ synthesis of magnetically retrievable nanocomposites of nanocellulose (derived from waste biomass) and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles using hydrothermal method.The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using various techniques such as FT-IR, powder XRD, HR-TEM, BET and VSM.The characterization of nanocomposites clea

Delineating and characterizing critical habitat for the Eastern Pacific olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea): Individual differences in migratory routes present challenges for conservation measures

The effective conservation of highly migratory marine here species is only possible if core areas of activity and critical habitat can be identified within the vast and dynamic oceanic environment and later on used to delineate marine protected areas (MPAs).However, gathering population-level data and identifying universal patterns within a species

Mechanistic insights revealed by the crystal structure of a histidine kinase with signal transducer and sensor domains.

Two-component systems (TCSs) are important for the adaptation and survival of bacteria and fungi under stress conditions.A TCS is often composed of a membrane-bound sensor histidine kinase jerome brown jersey (SK) and a response regulator (RR), which are relayed through sequential phosphorylation steps.However, the mechanism for how an SK is switch

The cholera morbo epidemic of 1884 in Elche; An element of change of society and a new category of contemporary

The arrival of the cholera epidemic in feline 1-hcpch vaccine Elche, a western Mediterranean city during 1884-85, produces a set of responses: Urban changes, improvements in public health, denunciation from the press, and, above all, the development of the pro-union associative movement.The objective of this article is to interpret these responses
