The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an alternative model used in biomedical research for the investigation of descriptive and mechanistic toxicity assessment of chemicals. There are considerable differences in published data, especially in terms o...

Attempts are being made to incorporate copper into clear varnish in order to coat environmental surfaces in hospitals with the long-term goal of reducing healthcare-acquired infections (HAI). The performance of a nanocopper-containing polyacrylic emu... Read More about Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting.

The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil. (2005)
Journal Article
O’Mahony, M. M., Dobson, A. D., Barnes, J. D., & Singleton, I. (2006). The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil. Chemosphere, 63(2), 307-314. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2005.07.018

The potential of using ozone for the removal of phenanthrene from several different soils, both alone and in combination with biodegradation using a microbial inoculant (Pseudomonas alcaligenes PA-10), was examined. The greater the water content of t... Read More about The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil..

Heparin remains a major drug in prevention of thromboembolic disease. Concerns related to its animal source have prompted search for heparin analogues. The anticoagulant activity of heparin depends on a specific pentasaccharide sequence that binds a... Read More about Generation of “Neoheparin” from E. coli K5 Capsular Polysaccharide.
