High Adsorption Capacity

In this work, ginger straw waste-derived porous carbons, with high adsorption capacity, high adsorption rate, and good reusability for removing the toxic dye of methylene blue from wastewater, were prepared by a facile method under oxygen-limiting conditions. This study opens a new approach for the utilization of ginger straw waste, and the porous materials can be employed as great potential adsorbents for treating dye wastewater.

Structural Topology Design

Abstract A new approach to design the topology for structures under crash events is presented. The approach is heuristic in essence, but numerical experiments have shown its uses in real problems. Using an interpolation between porous and solid (non-porous) materials plus a re-design rule to by-pass gradient computations the new approach is able to determine better locations of material and density in a given structural domain for kinetic energy dissipation. An example is presented to illustrate the methodology.

Aim: To explore the bioactivities of commercial fragrances. Materials & methods: The antimicrobial activity of 25 commercial fragrances was assessed with pathogenic bacteria and fungi in vapor phase. Inflammatory response was evaluated by the measurement of cytokines. Results: Several fragrances were able to kill the microorganisms. Moreover, preparations of binary mixtures of the most active fragrances showed a synergistic effect. Regarding the inflammatory response, none of the tested fragrances showed a pro-inflammatory response, but two fragrances upregulated the secretion of IL-10 from macrophages. Conclusion: The antimicrobial activities of fragrances represent a new approach to control airborne pathogens.
