Biofilm as a versatile stablizer and promoter for Pd nanoparticle (PdNP) recovery and catalytic denitrification
Zhou C., Rittmann B.E., Wang Z., Ontiveros-Valencia A., Krajmalnik-Brown R., Arizona State University, US
There is an increasing demand on recycling of palladium from mining waste streams for purposes of resource retrieval and catalytic application. We introduced the novel H2-based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) technology to recover Pd in [...]
Strategies for production of naturally-derived calcium phosphates particles for solid free-form fabrication
Miculescu F., Miculescu M., Maidaniuc A., Voicu S.I., Miculescu F., Miculescu M., Batalu D., University Politehnica from Bucharest, RO
In this abstract we propose the strategies optimization for obtaining ceramic materials derived from natural sources for solid free-form fabrication, used for bone substitution. The selected method, thermal processing, is simple (due to the similarities [...]
Stable Magnetic Isotopes as New Trend in Nanonuclear Biotechnology
With dimensions of the order of tens angstroms, biomolecular devices are assigned, in modern terminology, to objects of “nanophysics”. At the same time, all of them are composed from chemical elements many of which have [...]
A synergistic approach to the design, fabrication and evaluation of 3D printed micro and nano featured scaffolds for vascularized bone tissue repair
In recent years, 3D printing has become a popular and widely investigated method for the fabrication of large bone implants. 3D printed bone constructs, devices and treatments hold great potential to repair traumatic and chronic [...]
Comparing Biocompatibility of Titanium Orthopaedic Implants With and Without an Ultra-thin Coating of TiO2 by Ion Beam Assisted Deposition
Miralami R., Namavar F., Thiele G.M., Sharp J.G., Garvin K.L., University of Nebraska Medical Center, US
Introduction: Annually, more than one million Americans undergo arthroplastic surgeries, and by 2030 the projected number will exceed more than four million [1]. Thus, there is a serious need to accommodate such overload. It has [...]
In vitro reduction of mycotoxins and other inflammatory mediators from whole blood using CytoSorb® hemoadsorbent polymer beads
Scheirer A.R., Rueggeberg K.-G., Golobish T.D., Guliashvili T., Gruda M.C., O’Sullivan P., Chan P.P., CytoSorbents Corporation, US
Opportunistic fungal infections account for up to 25% of all hospital-acquired blood infections. Patients at highest risk are those with weakened immune systems, and include elderly patients, patients with cancer or HIV infection, and patients [...]
