Abstract:
The use of enzymatic agents as biological solutions for cleaning ion-exchange membranes fouled by organic compounds during electrodialysis (ED) treatments in the food industry could be an interesting alternative to chemical cleanings implemented at an industrial scale. This paper is focused on testing the cleaning efficiency of three enzyme classes (β-glucanase, protease, and polyphenol oxidase) chosen for their specific actions on polysaccharides, proteins, and phenolic compounds, respectively, fouled on a homogeneous cation-exchange membrane (referred CMX-Sb) used for tartaric stabilization

Due to the size and design of endodontic files, these instruments have been considered one of the most difficult to clean among all dental instruments.

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide, and has considerable potential for the sustainable fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass to provide valuable compounds. Ultrafiltration (UF) is a suitable separation technique for the profitable production of hemicelluloses from process water from thermomechanical pulping (ThMP), but is limited by membrane fouling. Improvements in cleaning protocols and new alternative cleaning agents are required to ensure a long membrane lifetime, and thus a sustainable process. This study, therefore, focuses on the cle

A novel in-situ enzymatic cleaning method was developed for fouling control in membrane bioreactors (MBRs).

To achieve this, the enzyme was coupled to a magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) and the membrane it self was loaded with MNP. The magnetic activity was turned by means of an external permanent magnet.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the dye affinity of natural dye of Terminalia chebula retzius (T. chebula) using the dye substrate of leather. Design/methodology/approach The dyeing conditions such as temperature, concentration of dye, and time are controlled by measuring the dye affinity. The effect of enzymatic post-tanning process on dye affinity is evaluated by using different type of proteases such as flavourzyme, alcalase, and bromelain. The optimum conditions for enzymatic post-tanning process are evaluated depending on different pH, temperature, and concentration of enz

Abstract:
A preparation has been developed that permits patch clamping of the basolateral membrane of Necturus gallbladder epithelial cells with a high success rate. The epithelium is separated from the underlying tissues mechanically, without enzymatic treatment. Its apical surface is attached to a plastic cover slip, and the basolateral surface, facing up, is cleaned with a suction pipette under microscopic observation. With this cleaning procedure, the success rate in obtaining gigaohm seals increases from less than 1% to approximately 10% of the attempts. The cells appear to retain their structural

Abstract:
The results of a study of the number and enzymatic activity of microorganisms in the soils of the Zardob district (Azerbaijan), from the territory of the pesticide storage base, are presented. It was revealed that the soils of the base were polluted to a very strong extent, and the content of pesticides (including DDT) exceeded the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) by tens to hundreds of times. Microbiological studies of soil samples showed that, unlike pure soil, in all soil samples contaminated with pesticides, the number of microorganisms and enzymatic activity decreased, which indica

Abstract:
This investigation employed HPLC and LC-MS techniques to elucidate the enzymolysis and acid hydrolysis mechanisms of diosgenin obtained through a cleaning process. The findings revealed that the enzymolysis led to the cleavage and subsequent recombination of the glycosidic bond at the C-26 position of protodioscin, resulting in the formation of dioscin present in the enzymatic hydrolysis filter residue. Leveraging this observation, a streamlined and eco-friendly method for diosgenin extraction was devised. Incorporating the Box-Behnken response surface methodology alongside wastewater assessme

Abstract:
Abstract A new colorimetric method is described for the determination of enzymatic activity of subtilisin in cleaning products. The procedure is more rapid and precise than the casein digestion methods commonly used to assay protease activity. The principle of the colorimetric method depends on the determination rate of p-nitrophenol released on hydrolysis of N-CBZ-L-leucine-/Miitrophenyl ester at pH 8.0 by subtilisin, with correction for any nonenzymatic (spontaneous) hydrolysis of the substrate. Because of the broad range of hydrolytic activity of this enzyme, and the difficulties in predict

To provide assistance to otolaryngologists to decide the best manner in which to reprocess flexible nasopharyngoscopes, a review of existing English language medical literature regarding the methods of flexible endoscope reprocessing was performed, including previously published guidelines from other medical disciplines. Multiple steps were confirmed to be critical to effectively reprocess flexible nasopharyngoscopes. High-level disinfection has been determined to be the minimum level of disinfection required for reprocessing of flexible nasopharyngoscopes. Several steps are important in all r

Rationale. Currently, there has been developed a technique for managing enzymatic necrolysis of II-III degree burn wounds using the two-component drug NexoBrid; this treatment option is possible to apply only in the early terms, up to 72 hours, after injury. There are no indications for the use of the technology in later terms after the injury. The aim of research was to study the potential and effectiveness of enzymatic necrolysis when using the drug NexoBrid in patients with burns of II-III degree at various stages after injury (before and after 72 hours).

A 17th century wall painting, representing the Virgin between two Saints, in a noble Italian renaissance palace, the Palazzo Gallo in Bagnaia (Viterbo, Italy), was restored in 2021 in the context of a wider restoration campaign involving the main room of the palace built by cardinal Sansoni Riario. Diagnostic analyses performed using traditional characterization techniques (optical microscopy on micro-stratigraphic sections, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) provided the identification of both the original painting and its restoration materials, while
