Effectiveness of Apple Cider Vinegar Immersion with and Without Mother as a Decrease in Lead (Pb) Levels in Green Mussels (Perna viridis) by Siti Nur Muhibbatul Jannah, Eka Farpina, Ganea Qorry Aina

“…The sample is prepared by drying the sample in the oven and extracting the sample using wet destruction so that a clear liquid is obtained that can be measured using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that the average lead levels sample soaked by apple cider vinegar with mothers were 0.219 mg/L, 0.103 mg/L, 0.088 mg/L, without mothers were 0.205 mg/L, 0.173 mg/L, 0.125 mg/L. …”

Insight into unusual complex thermodynamical behaviour of citric acid and ethanolamine solution by Reshma Karunakaran, Rajagopal Shanmugasundaram

“…Its respective inter and intramolecular ‘hydrogen’ atoms remain the key reason for this effect. Results of rheometry, Raman, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of this fluid confirmed this phenomena, collectively. …”

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Vibrational Frequency Calculations of Species in Liquid-Liquid Phase Separated MgSO4 Solution at 543 K by Mengzi Zhou, Xiancai Lu, Xiandong Liu, Yingchun Zhang, Xiaoyu Zhang, Kai Wang

“…Furthermore, bidentate Mg-SO4 ligand is less stable than monodentate ligands at 543 K by applying free energy calculations. Our findings give atomic level recognition of concentrated phase in liquid-liquid phase separated MgSO4 fluids and theoretical explanation of the 980 cm-1 Raman peak shifting, which will further inspire understandings on nucleation processes of hydrated sulfate minerals and Raman spectra resolving of other sulfate systems.…”

Influence of Cooking by Boiling on Lead and Cadmium in Meat and Liver of Chickens by Wasan E Hashem, Raghad A Abdaljaleel

“…A total of 80 samples were randomly collected and examined: 40 frozen (10 from each of the liver and meat) before and after cooking) and 40 fresh (10 from each the liver and meat) before and after cooking) from different regions in AL-Karkh Province, Baghdad. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry device was used to evaluate the concentration of Pb and Cd. …”

Solvent solutions: comparing extraction methods for edible oils and proteins in a changing regulatory landscape. Part 1: Physical-properties☆ by Carré Patrick, Berthold Sebastian, Piofczyk Thomas, Bothe Sarah, Hadjiali Sara

“…Due to their hydroxyl group, alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol) exhibit only a modest affinity for non-polar lipids, though this affinity increases with the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule. They demonstrate a higher efficacy in extracting polar lipids; however, this extraction process also extends to numerous non-lipidic molecules. …”

Effects of Vacancy Cluster Defects on Electrical and Thermodynamic Properties of Silicon Crystals by Pei-Hsing Huang, Chi-Ming Lu

“…The results can be ascribed to the formation of a defect level produced by the dangling bonds, floating bonds, or high-strain atoms surrounding the VC defects. The appearance of imaginary frequencies in the phonon spectrum of defective Si crystals indicates that the defect-region structure is dynamically unstable and demonstrates phase changes. …”
