In recent years, organic semiconducting materials have enabled technological innovation in the field of flexible electronics. Substantial optimization and development of new p-conjugated materials has resulted in the demonstration of several practical devices, particularly in displays and photoreceptors. However, applications of organic semiconductors in bipolar junction devices, e.g. rectifier...

Fungi is an extensive group of eukaryotic microorganisms, generally they are microscopic and usually filamentous. It is estimated that there are between 70,000 and 1.5 millions species of fungi, most of them are being discovering and describing (Agrios, 2005). Most of the known hundred thousand fungal species are strictly saprophytic, living on decomposing dead organic matter. About fifty speci...

The present study brings together survey data from collection in several localities in the Brazilian Amazon and specimens from the Entomological Collection of Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG-Belém). The flies were collected over organic decomposing matter (bananas and bovine meat) baits. The genus Odontoloxozus Enderlein, with the species Odontoloxozus peruanus Hennig, is recorded from Brazi...

High concentrations of metals in organic matter can inhibit decomposition and limit nutrient availability in ecosystems, but the long-term fate of metals bound to forest litter is poorly understood. Controlled experiments indicate that during the first few years of litter decay, Al, Fe, Pb, and other metals that form stable complexes with organic matter are naturally enriched by several hundred...

landfill gas is generated by organic waste decomposing under anaerobic conditions. landfill gas contributes to the emission in the atmosphere of greenhouse gases and causing global warming. humidity of environment is an effective parameter on rate of gas generation in landfills. saravan landfill is investigated as study area in this research. it located in 20 kilometers of rasht-tehran highway....

a large portion of municipal waste, disposed in landfills, is organic in nature. this organicmaterial starts decomposing soon after the disposal in landfills. the decomposition leads to the generation ofin situ leachate, and this leachate can contain substantial amounts of contaminants. under arid conditions,leachate is solely generated by waste decomposition, as little input of external water ...

A highly effective biological fertilizer (bio-fertilizer) can be produced cheaply in countries that have a source of a suitable type of zeolitic rock (tuff). Such rocks occur worldwide in areas of past or current volcanism. In the event of explosive volcanic activity huge volumes of silicic glass and other debris are projected into the atmosphere. Reaching high altitude the fine material is sep...

We describe the discovery and evaluation of a semi-perfluoroalkyl resorcinarene photoresist which is processable in hydrofluoroether solvents (HFEs). This novel, high-performance imaging material is specifically designed to be orthogonal to the vast majority of organic conductors and semiconductors, and hence enable their photolithographic patterning. Furthermore, this material paves the way fo...

Many works have been made by research scholars to remove lead from wastewaters using different sources of organic materials derived from plant origin. In this paper an attempt has been made to review different sources of waste organic materials and the respective carbon materials which have been used for the removal of lead(II) from water and wastewater based on recent literature review.
