We report the synthesis, structural characterization, and functionality (framework interconversions together with proton conductivity) of an open-framework hybrid that combines Ca2+ ions rigid polyfunctional ligand 5-(dihydroxyphosphoryl)isophthalic acid (PiPhtA). Ca2[(HO3PC6H3COOH)2]2[(HO3PC6H3(COO)2H)(H2O)2]·5H2O (Ca-PiPhtA-I) is obtained by slow crystallization at ambient conditions from acidic (pH ≈ 3) aqueous solutions. It possesses a high water content (both Ca coordinated in lattice),...
Green roofs are artificial ecosystems that provide a nature-based solution to environmental challenges such as climate change and the urban heat island. aid in conservation of both cooling heating energy; deposition particulates mitigation air pollution; control runoff water promotion biodiversity; provision aesthetic health benefits. This research is holistic review green roof literature provides global perspective subject with classification modelling studies; an extensive contributions...
The indubitable rise of metal–organic framework (MOF) technology has opened the potential for commercialization as alternative materials with a versatile number applications that range from catalysis to greenhouse gas capture. However, there are several factors constrain direct scale-up MOFs laboratory industrial plant given insufficient knowledge about overall safety in synthesis processes. This article focuses on study MOF thermal stability, concept prediction, and influence such...
Abstract Mature migrating Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) were captured in the Mediterranean Sea with a purse seine and reared floating cages for 2 to 3 years. During natural spawning period (June–July) of two consecutive years, fish randomly implanted underwater controlled-release delivery system (implant) loaded gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), order induce final oocyte maturation (FOM), ovulation/spermiation, spawning. At time sampling, males significantly...
A new flexible ultramicroporous solid, La(H(5)DTMP)·7H(2)O (1), has been crystallized at room temperature using the tetraphosphonic acid H(8)DTMP, hexamethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid). Its crystal structure, solved by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, is characterised a 3D pillared open-framework containing 1D channels filled with water. Upon dehydration, related crystalline phase, La(H(5)DTMP) (2) formed. Partial rehydration of 2 led to La(H(5)DTMP)·2H(2)O...
The structural and functional chemistry of a family alkali-metal ions with racemic R,S-hydroxyphosphonoacetate (M-HPAA; M = Li, Na, K, Cs) are reported. Crystal structures were determined by X-ray data (Li+, powder diffraction following an ab initio methodology; Na+, K+, Cs+, single crystal). A gradual increase in dimensionality directly proportional to the alkali ionic radius was observed. [Li3(OOCCH(OH)PO3)(H2O)4]·H2O (Li-HPAA) shows 1D framework built up Li-ligand "slabs" Li+ three...
The greater amberjack Seriola dumerili is a large teleost fish with rapid growth and excellent flesh quality, whose domestication represents an ambitious challenge for aquaculture. occurrence of reproductive dysfunctions in reared captivity was investigated by comparing development wild captive-reared individuals. Wild breeders were sampled the Mediterranean Sea during three different phases cycle: early gametogenesis (EARLY, late April-early May), advanced (ADVANCED, May-early June)...
In the present study, photocatalytic degradation of amisulpride using g-C3N4 catalyst under UV-A irradiation was investigated. The process evaluated in terms its effectiveness to remove from ultrapure and real municipal wastewater. High removal percentages were achieved both aqueous matrices. However, a slower rate observed wastewater as matrix that could be attributed complex chemical composition. transformation products (TPs) identified with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)...
Building the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance network in Veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet) was proposed to strengthen One Health antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance approach.
The transition to a more sustainable model for the US energy system has recently received significant focus in transition. One of technologies that best represent exploration aid this is metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs have historically shown direct use adsorption-driven applications. Nonetheless, technology with than 20 years development, some challenges and gaps decrease speed implementation associated safety sustainability. This article focuses on identifying studying sustainability...
Missense variant Ile79Asn in human cardiac troponin T (cTnT-I79N) has been associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sudden arrest juveniles. cTnT-I79N is located the cTnT N-terminal (TnT1) loop region known for its pathological prognostic relevance. A recent structural study revealed that I79 part of a hydrophobic interface between TnT1 actin, which stabilizes relaxed (OFF) state thin filament. Given importance understanding role Ca 2+ regulation filament along underlying mechanisms...
Reactions of M2+ (M = Mg2+ (1), Ca2+ (2), Sr2+ (3), or Ba2+ (4)) salts with R,S-hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid (HPAA) in aqueous solutions pH 2.0−2.7 at a 1:1 ratio yield hydrated M−HPAA layered three-dimensional coordination polymers varying degrees hydration (metal-coordinated water lattice water). The crystal structures 3 (two different phases, 3a and 3b, formed slightly pH) 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Both enantiomers (R S) HPAA are incorporated these...
