The potential of in situ Raman spectroscopy in the study of the health of cement-based materials of modern buildings during restoration works
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Although Raman spectroscopy is a common technique for the analysis of cement-based materials in the research studies or in the field of Cultural Heritage to carried out multianalytical studies, it is not generally used as ...
Application of a Biological Multilevel Response Approach in the Copepod Acartia Tonsa for Toxicity Testing of Three Oil Water Accommodated Fractions
(Elsevier, 2021-06-01)
Abstract
Copepods play a critical role in the marine food webs, being a food source for marine organisms. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) from three types of oil: ...
Magneto Twister: Magneto Deformation of the Water-Air Interface by a Superhydrophobic Magnetic Nanoparticle Layer
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Remote manipulation of superhydrophobic surfacesprovides fascinating features in water interface-related applications. Asuperhydrophobic magnetic nanoparticle colloid layer is able to float on the water-air interface ...
Optical Single Cell Resolution Cytotoxicity Biosensor Based onSingle Cell Adhesion Dot Arrays
(American Chemical Society, 2020-05-28)
