Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Study of Several Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants on an Aquifer MaterialBarbara Ruffino, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: Aim of the present research was to determine coefficient of partition KD between soil and groundwater for five hydrophobic organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene-TCE, perchloroethylene-PCE and toluene) in an Italian aquifer material characterized by a low organic carbon content (fOC = 0.00262) by means of laboratory batch tests. Initial aqueous concentrations (quite different among the five compounds) were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Properties of Cell-treated Polyethylene TerephthalateBing Shi, Hong Liang, Thomas B. Kuhn, Lawrence K. DuffyThe materials used in artificial joints undergo degradation through fatigue and corrosive wear in human body. The lifetime for well-designed artificial joints like hip joints is at most 12 years and a patient will usually have two total joint replacements during his/her lifetime. Tissue engineering, an alternative to total joint implantation, is the replacement of damaged tissue with the tissue … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploratory Study on the Fracture Resistance of Cast GlassTelesilla Bristogianni, Faidra Oikonomopoulou, Fred Veer, Rob NijsseThe emerging interest in the architectural applications of cast glass components reveals a knowledge gap on the mechanical properties of cast glass. Apart from its chemical composition, cast glass is characterized by its manufacturing history and thermal profile, often inheriting a set of defects that define its properties. The role that inhomogeneities in the bulk of voluminous glass components have … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 4 Jun 2021 · 7,356 accessesView PDFCite
