Abstract

The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique was used to prepare photocatalytic S-TiO2 coatings on Ti sheets; the incorporation of the S ions was possible from the electrolyte for modifying the structural and optics characteristics of the material. In this work, substrates of Ti (ASME SB-265 of 20 × 20 × 1 mm) were used in a PEO process in 10 min, using constant voltage pulses of 340 V with frequency of 1 kHz and duty cycles of 10% and of 30%. Solutions with H2SO4 (0.1 M) and CH4N2S (52 and 79 mM) were used as electrolytes. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were utilized to analyze the surface morphology, crystalline phase, and chemical composition of the samples. According to the results, the catalyst coatings had microporous structure and contained anatase-rutile TiO2 nanocrystalline mixture, until 73.2% rutile and 26.8% anatase in the samples grown with 30% duty cycle and the lowest concentration of CH4N2S. From the EDS measurements, the incorporation of sulfur ions to the coatings was 0.08 wt%. 99.5% reduction efficiency of Cr(VI)-EDTA with sunlight was observed after 2 h; it was determined by diphenyl carbazide spectrophotometric method. These coatings have poten...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
