AbstractBackground: Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a disease caused by the parasitization of Pinus spp. by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a pine wood nematode. This nematode is parasitic to insects and is thus transferred to the tree, growing in the tree for a shor.....
AbstractThe operative electronic, ionic, orientational, or dipolar and interfacial polarizations are made active by imposing an oscillatory electric field to a dielectric material. It is noted that, dielectric material precedes a huge impact on the AC-DC ele.....
AbstractActivated Carbon Fiber (ACF) has properties that make it a great candidate as a sorbent in respirators against Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Adsorption properties of ACF relevant for the determination of the potential service life, such as break.....
AbstractExtraction of Ca(II) picrate (CaPic2) and SrPic2 with 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) and benzo-18C6 (B18C6) into 9 diluents were studied at T = 298 K. Their ion-pair extraction constants (Kex,ip = [MLPic2]org/[ML2+][Pic-]2) were determined at M = Ca, Sr, L .....
