Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. ...
Multifunctional Oil Absorption with Macroporous Polystyrene Fibers Incorporating Silver-Doped ZnO
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Hydrophobic microporous polystyrene (PS) fibers are fabricated by a solvent-induced phase-separation-assisted electrospinning method. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver-doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanomaterials with variable ...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of the forward osmosis process to predict membrane flux using a novel combination of neural network and response surface methodology techniques
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging technology that has been considered as an alternative to desalination due to its low energy consumption and less severe reversible fouling. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
Anticancer activity of Neosetophomone B by targeting AKT/SKP2/MTH1 axis in leukemic cells
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Neosetophomone B (NSP–B), a meroterpenoid fungal secondary metabolite, was investigated for its anticancer potential in leukemic cell lines (K562 and U937). NSP-B treatment of leukemic cells suppressed cell viability by ...
Vanadium Carbide (V4C3) MXene as an Efficient Anode for Li-Ion and Na-Ion Batteries
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (SIBs) are deemed green and efficient electrochemical energy storage and generation devices; meanwhile, acquiring a competent anode remains a serious challenge. Herein, the ...
Making sense of multivariate community responses in global change experiments
(2022 , Article)
Ecological communities are being impacted by global change worldwide. Experiments are a powerful tool to understand how global change will impact communities by comparing control and treatment replicates. Communities consist ...
Neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are higher but decline faster in mRNA vaccinees compared to individuals with natural infection.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2022 , Article)
Waning protection against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants by pre-existing antibodies elicited due to current vaccination or natural infection is a global concern. Whether this is due to the waning of immunity to SARS-COV-2 ...
Evaluation of Petrophysical Characteristics of Mishrif and Yamama Reservoirs, in Garraf Oil Field, Southern Iraq, Based on Well-Logging Interpretation
(
College of science/ University of Baghdad
, 2022 , Article)
The Mishrif and Yamama Formation are the main reservoirs in the Garraf oilfield, Nasiriyah city, of the Euphrates Subzone, Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq. The Garraf oilfield structural pattern corresponds with the ...
Validation and application of a membrane filtration evaluation protocol for oil-water separation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Membrane filtration processes like microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) are proven to be effective in industrial wastewater treatment, including oil-water separation, as they generate suitable quality permeate for ...
Microwave-assisted conversion of palm kernel shell biomass waste to photoluminescent carbon dots
(
scientific reports
, 2020 , Article)
In the present work, palm kernel shell (PKS) biomass waste has been used as a low-cost and easily available precursor to prepare carbon dots (CDs) via microwave irradiation method. The impacts of the reacting medium: water ...
