The importance of small-pelagic species in marine ecosystems and their economic contribution to coastal communities are increasingly recognised by many fishery managers. However, the management of small pelagic species faces many challenges due to environmental factors that periodically impact on recruitment of the species. Delayed responses in management to these...
Mordenite and X- or Y-type faujasite were used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by adsorption at 25 °C. A microwave heating desorption system was applied for pollutant adsorbent regeneration. Studies were focused on the relationship between the adsorption and/or desorption behavior of selected VOCs (benzene, toluene, o-, m-, p-xylene,...
The catalytic activity of a monolithic catalyst with nanosized Pt and Au particles on ZnO/Al₂O₃ (Pt-Au/ZnO/Al₂O₃/M) prepared by a wash-coat method was examined, specifically for toluene oxidation. FE-SEM image showed clearly the formation of a ZnO/Al₂O₃ layer on the monolith. Nanosized Pt-Au particles on ZnO/Al₂O₃/M with different sizes could be...
In this work, stainless steel wire cloth (SSWC) for metallic support was thermally treated to increase the adhesive strength of Al₂O₃ by improving superficial roughness. After coating Al₂O₃ on SSWC, Pt particles as a catalytic component were deposited on the Al₂O₃/SSWC. These supports and catalysts were characterized by N₂ gas...
The reaction conditions for the synthesis of Cu-BTC (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) were elucidated using a continuous-flow microreactor-assisted solvothermal system to achieve crystal size and phase control. A high-rate synthesis of Cu-BTC metal-organic frameworks with BET surface area of more than 1600 m²/g (Langmuir surface area of more than 2000...

Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables and has been under investigation as a cancer chemopreventive agent for over two decades. The compound is well tolerated and has been shown to slow cancer progression in several different pre-clinical models of carcinogenesis, such as of the lung, breast and colon....
Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...
Cell motility and invasion are important for development, immunity, wound healing, and tumor cell metastasis. Cells on two dimensional substrates migrate in three steps: protrusion of the front end, translocation of the cell body, and retraction of the rear end. For cells to migrate efficiently, these steps need to be...
The photodebromination of selected bromoarenes has been studied at 300 nm
to determine the the possible mechanistic pathways leading to product.
Irradiation of 4-bromobiphenyl (BpBr) at this wavelength leads to the product
biphenyl. The quantum yield of intersystem crossing (0.98) and quenching
studies with cis-1 ,3-pentadiene suggest that the reaction...
