Immobilized titanium dioxide for emerging contaminant removal in wastewater by Yasmine, Abdel-Maksoud

“…The strong mixing conditions and flow through the recirculating pump resulted in high abrasion of the photo-catalyst off the sand surface. The tray photo-reactor was developed to avoid the high friction of the photo-catalyst particles in the recirculating pump while maintain fulfilling all the other photocatalytic process requirements of light penetration, continuous oxygen supply, and turbulent flow. …”

Activity Descriptors as Tools for Designing Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting by Gomaa, Aya

“…The ASS-O2 showed an impressive low overpotential (η) of 280 mV at 10 mA/cm2, which is 120 mV less than that of the as-received SS (SS-AR), with a low Tafel slope of 63 mV dec−1 in 1 M KOH. These findings have also been asserted by the estimated electrochemical active surface area, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis, Mott−Schottky analysis, and the calculated turnover frequency, affirming the superiority of the ASS-O2 electrocatalyst over the ASS- H2 and ASS-Air counterparts. …”

Developing quantitative approaches to determine microbial colonisation and activity in mineral bioleaching and characterisation of acid rock drainage by Makaula, Didi Xhanti

“…This then fundamentally informed the determination of activity from microbial-mineral interaction, using IMC, as a function of surface area. Secondly, a detachment protocol developed at UCT to recover microbial cells from surfaces of crushed and agglomerated ore to assess microbial growth rates and distribution in the ore bed, including cells in the interstitial phase and those weakly and strongly attached to the ore surface, was refined to assess colonisation of the finely milled pyrite-bearing concentrate or waste rock coated onto glass beads in continuous flow assays. …”

Biosynthesis and degradation of proteoglycans in cultured smooth muscle cells by Diehl, Thekla S

“…The sulphated proteoglycans associated with this compartment are acted upon by a sulphatase or sulphatases to give rise to free radioactive inorganic sulphate and macromolecules which have been desulphated. That this process occurs in the pericellular compartment only was proven by the use of intracellular lysomotrophic inhibitors and by the continuous exposure of sulphate labelled macromolecules to the extracellular extract. …”

Novel On-chip Optical Modulator Designs by Elsayed, Mohamed Mahmoud Ibrahim Ibrahim

“…The continuous shrinking of feature sizes, the increase in the microelectronic integrated circuits complexity, and the increasing demand for higher speeds and data rates have all stimulated seeking new technology to replace the currently present microelectronics industry rather than improving it. …”
