Peptide-functionalized quantum dots for potential applications in the imaging and treatment of obesity
(DovePress, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic affecting millions of people. The current pharmacological treatment of obesity remains limited and ineffective due to drugs’ undesirable side effects. Hence, there is a need for ...
A review of combined advanced oxidation technologies for the removal of organic pollutants from water
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Water pollution through natural and anthropogenic activities has become a global problem causing short-and long-term impact on human and ecosystems. Substantial quantity of individual or mixtures of organic pollutants enter ...
The production of hydrogen through the use of a 77 wt% Pd 23 wt% Ag membrane water gas shift reactor
(Elsevier, 2016)
Hydrogen as an energy carrier has the potential to decarbonize the energy sector. This
work presents the application of a palladium-silver (PdeAg) membrane-based reactor. The
membrane reactor which is made from PdeAg ...
Plasmonic metal decorated titanium dioxide thin films for enhanced photodegradation of organic contaminants
(Elsevier, 2017)
Photocatalysis using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst is an efficient way for the removal of organic
contaminants in water using solar energy. In this study, thin
films of copper and silver were deposited on
fused ...
A Two-Decade Anthropogenic and Biogenic Isoprene Emissions Study in a London Urban Background and a London Urban Traffic Site
(MDPI, 2018-10-03)
A relationship between isoprene and 1,3-butadiene mixing ratios was established to
separate the anthropogenic and biogenic fractions of the measured isoprene in London air in both
urban background (Eltham) and urban ...
Hyphenated LC-ICP-MS/ESI-MS identification of halogenated metabolites in South African marine ascidian extracts
(The South African Chemical Institute, 2018)
Extracts of 13 species of marine ascidian collected in Algoa Bay were analyzed by LC-ICP-MS/ESI-MS. This technique allows
parallel analysis of the molecular species and the presence of certain elements. The LC-ICP-MS/ESI-MS ...
Amorphous Pt@dCu/CNT catalyst for methanol elextrooxidation
(South African Chemical Institute (SACI), 2013)
A multi-walled carbon nanotube-supported, Pt decorated nano-sized amorphous PdCu alloy cores (denoted as Pt@PdCu/CNT)
catalyst with lower Pt loading is synthesized via a galvanic displacement reaction. The structure is ...
Atmospheric bromoform at Cape Point, South Africa: an initial fixed-point data set on the African continent
(EGU, 2018)
Bromoform mixing ratios in marine air were measured
at Cape Point Global Atmospheric Watch Station,
South Africa. This represents the first such bromoform data
set recorded at this location. Manual daily measurements
were ...
Acylphloroglucinol derivatives from the South African helichrysum niveum and their biological activities
(MDPI, 2015)
Abstract: Phytochemical investigation of aerial parts of Helichrysum niveum (H. niveum)
using different chromatographic methods including semi-preparative HPLC afforded three
new (1–3) and six known (4–10) acylphloroglucinols ...
Inhibition of oxidative stress and skin aging-related enzymes by prenylated chalcones and other flavonoids from helichrysum teretifolium
(MDPI, 2015)
Ten flavonoid-related structures viz. heliteretifolin (1), isoxanthohumol (2),
2',4',6'-trihydroxy-3'-prenylchalcone (3), isoglabranin (4), glabranin (5), 7-methoxyisoglabranin
(6), quercetin (7), 4'-methoxyquercetin ...
