Riverbank filtration is an established technique used world-wide to produce clean drinking water in a reliable and cost-efficient way. This practice is, however, facing new challenges posed by climate change, as already observed during past heat waves with ...
Super-resolution imaging methods have revolutionized fluorescence microscopy by revealing the nanoscale organization of labeled proteins. In particular, single-molecule methods such as Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) provide resolution ...
Soil and groundwater pollution by chlorinated solvents such as tricholorethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a frequent problem in the industrialized world. Chlorinated solvents, characterized by a low solubility and a density greater than water, fo ...
The effect of body fluids inorganic species on element-specific dissolution of a Mg-Y-Rare earth elements (RE) alloy was investigated by flow microcapillary plasma mass spectrometry. A new important aspect of this method is the online monitoring of precipi ...
In the objective of developing ligands that simultaneously satisfy the requirements for MRI contrast agents and near-IR emitting optical probes that are suitable for imaging, three isoquinoline-based polyaminocarboxylate ligands, L1, L2 and L3, have been s ...
Kinetics of passive film growth on a CoCrMo biomedical alloy have been studied using the Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance technique (EQCM) in phosphate buffer solution at room temperature and 37 degrees C. CoCrMo layers were deposited on the qua ...
A coumarin derivative was employed for the detection of biogenic amines in buffered aqueous solution by UV-Vis or fluorescence spectroscopy. Incorporated in a polymeric matrix, the dye can also be used for the optical detection of gaseous amines. ...
