Large scale screening of Southern African plant extracts for the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using microtitre-plate method
(MDPI, 2016)
The preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) involves a variety of chemical and physical
methods. These methods use toxic and environmentally harmful chemicals. Consequently, the
synthesis of AuNPs using green chemistry ...
Electrochemical Aptatoxisensor Responses on Nanocomposites containing electro-deposited silver nanoparticles on poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer for the detection of microcystin-lr in freshwater
(MDPI, 2016)
A sensitive and reagentless electrochemical aptatoxisensor was developed on cobalt (II)
salicylaldiimine metallodendrimer (SDD-Co(II)) doped with electro-synthesized silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) for microcystin-LR (L, ...
Metaviromics of namib desert salt pans: a novel lineage of haloarchaeal salterproviruses and a rich source of ssDNA viruses
(MDPI, 2016)
Viral communities of two different salt pans located in the Namib Desert, Hosabes and Eisfeld, were investigated using a combination of multiple displacement amplification of metaviromic DNA and deep sequencing, and provided ...
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 ...
Bioaccumulation of total mercury in the earthworm Eisenia andrei
(SpringerOpen, 2016)
Earthworms are a major part of the total biomass of soil fauna and play a vital role
in soil maintenance. They process large amounts of plant and soil material and can
accumulate many pollutants that may be present in ...
Service-aware clustering: an energy-efficient model for the internet-of-things
(MDPI, 2016)
Current generation wireless sensor routing algorithms and protocols have been designed
based on a myopic routing approach, where the motes are assumed to have the same sensing and
communication capabilities. Myopic routing ...
Exploration of scaffolds from natural products with antiplasmodial activities, currently registered antimalarial drugs and public malarial screen data
(MDPI, 2016)
In light of current resistance to antimalarial drugs, there is a need to discover new classes
of antimalarial agents with unique mechanisms of action. Identification of unique scaffolds from
natural products with in vitro ...
Quantification of radicals generated in a sonicator
(Iranian Chemical Society, 2016)
The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. It can react nonspecifically in
breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. It can also ...
