Ogrody szkolne we współczesnej szkole. Znak edukacyjnego zacofania, a może jednak postępu? by Ryszard Kowalski, Edward Grott

“…This article looks at school gardens and their importance in the environmental education of children and young people at all levels, including elementary, junior, and senior high schools. the authors raise the question as to whether, in today’s information-driven world, schools should continue to teach biology using natural samples such as the plants and animals available in the school garden, or whether they can be replaced by electronic means (e.g. a computer application), without negatively affecting educational quality. …”

Mechanistic Study of Visible-Light-Induced Photodegradation of 4-Chlorophenol by TiO2−xNx with Low Nitrogen Concentration by Guangfeng Shang, Hongbo Fu, Shaogui Yang, Tongguang Xu

“…The visible-light response for N-doped TiO2 could arise from an N-induced midgap level, formed above the valence band (O 2p). Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements and the radical scavenger technologies gave the combined evidence that the active species (•OH and O2•−) are responsible for the photodecomposition of 4-CP over TiO2−xNx under the visible irradiation. …”

Structural Characterization of Ferrihydrite/Hematite Nanocomposites and Their Arsenic Adsorption Properties by Nicolaza Pariona, Karla I. Camacho-Aguilar, Rodolfo Ramos-González, Arturo I. Martinez, Martin Herrera-Trejo

“…A rich variety of ferrihydrite/hematite nanocomposites (NCs) with specific size, composition and properties were obtained in transformation reactions of 2-line ferrihydrite. Transmission electron microscopy observations showed that the NCs consist of clusters of strongly aggregated nanoparticles (NPs) similarly to a “plum pudding”, where hematite NPs “raisins” are surrounded by ferrihydrite “pudding”. …”
