This study focused on presenting the newly developed growth model for bacterial species present in a petrochemical processing plant in South Africa. The findings of the study serve as a theoretical basis for future experiments ...

A review of existing compositional binary mixture models for refractive indices was undertaken and showed that they can be recast in forms that are linear in mole or volume fraction. Typically, mole fractions proved to be ...

Engineering research has been expanded by the advent of material fusion, which has led to the development of composites that are more reliable and cost-effective. This investigation aims to utilise this concept to promote ...

Chitinases, enzymes that degrade chitin, have long been studied for their role in various biological processes. They play crucial roles in the moulting process of invertebrates, the digestion of chitinous food, and defense ...

The rising measure of waste produced from polyethene terephthalate (PET) and the interest in eco-accommodating energy storage arrangements have prompted escalated examination into reusing waste PET into supercapacitors. ...

In this study, the degradation of tramadol (TRA) was studied for the first time in deionized water (D⋅I) and final wastewater effluent (FWWE) using a dielectric barrier discharge reactor operated in a continuous flow mode. ...

Once critically thought of only as a menace in the marine environment, plastics particulates, especially microplastics (MPs) are gradually gaining access into the human body. However, among diverse sources of exposure examined, ...

The optimum layered double hydroxide (LDH) loading in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) filament, layer height, nozzle temperature and infill density levels were determined by statistically maximising the ultimate tensile stress of ...

Selenium, an essential micronutrient for plants and animals, can cause selenium toxicity as an oxyanion or at elevated doses. However, the toxic selenite oxyanion, can be converted into less harmful elemental nano-selenium ...
