Fecal contamination of water poses a significant risk to public health due to the potential presence of pathogens, including enteric viruses. Therefore, sensitive, reliable and easy to use methods for the concentration, detection and quantification of microorganisms associated with the safety and quality of water are needed. In this study, we performed a field evaluation of an anion exchange re...

There is a great need for viable alternatives to today's transparent conductive film using largely indium tin oxide. We report the fabrication of a new type of flexible transparent conductive film using silver nanowires (AgNW) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) networks which are fully embedded in a UV curable resin substrate. The hybrid SWCNTs-AgNWs film is relatively flat so that the R...

Alcohollc extract of C. mulnd resin (guggal) and one pure steroid isolated from this extract, when administered orally at a dose of 25-50 mgjkg body weight, reduced the serum cholesterol level in normal and triton-induced byperUpemlc rats and cholesterol-fed byperlipemIc rabbits. Both guggal extract and the steroid showed only slight inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesIs 85 compared to p_chlor...

Indium separation using ion exchange resins from acidic polymetallic and very diluted solutions are investigated. Since the selectivity of commercial have proven to be too low for an effective with high content other metals, Lewatit® TP 208 was impregnated common extractants enhance its properties. By resin impregnation D2EHPA Cyanex 272, not only selective indium recovery reached but also capa...
