The exploitation of low-grade ores, treatment of wastewaters of mining activities, hydrometallurgical recovery processes and bioremediation of metal contaminated environment require novel and economical bioprocesses. ...

Finding ways to control electron transfer (ET) between molecules or molecular systems and to investigate efficient theoretical methods capable of describing ET is important for being able to design better molecular electronic ...

This work investigated the production of hydrogen and ethanol from carbohydrates by bacterial dark fermentation. Meso and thermophilic fermenters were enriched from the environment, and their H2 and/or ethanol production ...

Photoinduced intermolecular energy and electron transfers in organic multilayered thin films were studied using electrical and spectroscopic methods. Intra- and interlayer processes were mainly investigated by the time-resolved ...

It is well-known that a small amount of nitrogen in InGaAs / GaAs quantum wells (QWs) causes a bandgap-bowing effect in the electronic band structure. While widening the spectral range of GaAs is a much desired consequence ...

Thin films of gold nanoparticles and photoactive organic molecules were prepared and studied with photoelectrical, spectroscopic and microscopic methods. Photoinduced electron transfer takes place from a poly(hexylthiophene) ...

A very important component of cells is the cell membrane separating the contents of a cell from the outside world. The cell membrane contains membrane proteins which, for example, regulate permeation of molecules through ...

In the 21st century the trend in healthcare is towards the early detection and prevention of disease and from hospitalization to increased personalization. The novel wearable and implantable systems for electrocardiographic ...

The quality of the paper produced can be characterised by numerous properties, such as roughness of the surface or dimensional stability under printing process, to mention but a few. Typically, the paper sheet properties ...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a convenient technique for studying the function of the brain non-invasively from the surface of the scalp. The greatest advantages of EEG are its temporal resolution on a millisecond scale ...
