Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic degradation of neonicotinoid insecticides using sulfate-doped Ag3PO4 with enhanced visible light activity
TL;DR: In this article, sulfate-doped silver phosphate (SO4-Ag3PO4) was prepared using a simple precipitation method, and its visible light photocatalytic activity against seven neonicotinoid insecticides currently available on the market was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of Benzene and Toluene Plume Lengths for Sites Contaminated with Regular vs. Ethanol‐Amended Gasoline
TL;DR: In this article, various statistical analyses of plume-length data to evaluate the hypothesis that the presence of ethanol in gasoline may hinder the natural attenuation of hydrocarbon releases were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible light sensitized inactivation of MS-2 bacteriophage by a cationic amine-functionalized C60 derivative.

TL;DR: The cationic hexakis C60 derivative with amine functionality, C60(CR2)6 (R=CO2(CH2)2NH3+CF3CO2-), was found to exhibit remarkable efficiency to inactivate Escherichia coli and MS-2 bacteriophage under UVA irradiation and is also photoactive in response to visible light from both commercial fluorescence lamps and sunlight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum sensing autoinducers enhance biofilm formation and power production in a hypersaline microbial fuel cell
TL;DR: Overall, QS stimulation through the addition of trace levels of such autoinducers might be a feasible approach to enhance MFC performance under high-salinity conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular and transcriptional response of Pseudomonas stutzeri to quantum dots under aerobic and denitrifying conditions.
TL;DR: The absence of ROS under denitrifying conditions suggests that the antibacterial activity of QDs was not due to ROS production alone, and forewarns about unintended potential impacts to denitrification as a result of disposal and incidental releases ofQDs, especially those with positively charged coatings.
