The interaction and photostability of some xanthenes and selected azo sensitizing dyes with TiO2 nanoparticles by D. EL Mekkawi, M. S. A. Abdel-Mottaleb

“…Fluorescence and electronic absorption measurements revealed complex formation between the chosen dyes and the surface of the colloidal TiO2. The apparent association constants (Kapp) of the surface complexes have been estimated and are correlated with the dyeinduced negative shifts of the reduction potential of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles. …”

(Re)constructing Homelands Between Precarity and Intentionality: Syrian Armenians in Armenia by Sossie Kasbarian

“…In mapping these multidirectional movements, it is apparent that Syrian Armenians’ encounter with Armenia is a process of continuous negotiation—Armenia is alternately a site of refuge, a historic or potential homeland, and a temporary transit. …”

Anesthetic-Induced Oxidative Stress and Potential Protection by Cheng Wang, Xuan Zhang, Fang Liu, Merle G. Paule, William Slikker, Jr.

“…Although the precise mechanisms by which NMDA antagonists or GABA agonists cause neuronal cell death are still not completely understood, up-regulation of the NMDA receptor subunit NR1 may be an initiative factor in neuronal cell death. It is increasingly apparent that mitochondria lie at the center of the cell death regulation process. …”

Design and Characterization of a Novel Rotating Corrugated Drum Reactor for Wastewater Treatment by Sarah M. Meunier, Joanne Gamage, Zdravko Duvnjak, Zisheng Zhang

“…The overall reaction rate increased with increasing surface area from 0.046 mg/L/min for the annular drum to 0.16 mg/L/min for the 40-fin drum. The apparent photonic efficiency was found to increase with increasing surface area at a faster rate for the corrugations than for the fin additions. …”

Regards artistiques sur l’observation photographique by Frédérique Mocquet

“…After having proposed a critical analysis of the photographic observation method in the article entitled “L’Observatoire photographique national du paysage : transformations d’un modèle et hypothèses renouvelées de paysage” ("The National Photographic Observatory of the Landscape : Transformations of a Model and Renewed Landscape Hypotheses”) published in the special section of this issue, the need to present a transcription of the statements of the photographers became apparent. The interview conducted on May 12th, 2016 first addressed the general issue of the photographic representation of landscapes before presenting the historical background and commitments of the GR2013 Photographic Observatory of the Landscape.…”

A Critique on Networks of Outrage and Hope: Social Movements in the Internet Age by Salman Sadeghizadeh

“…Other thinkers like Offe have focused on economic relations, and Englehart and Pakulski emphasized the cultural nature of these newly apparent movements. Castells in Networks of Outrage and Hope speaks of the network society in which there are the super network of power and super network of counter-power describing new social interactions. …”

Variation in the Adsorption of Lead(II) by a Range of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxides: Chemometric Examination of Correlation with Physical Properties by Madhav P. Dahal, Geoffrey A. Lawrance, Marcel Maeder

“…The Langmuir parameters vary significantly for the different samples and good correlations between them and some physical properties (% water content, open circuit voltage and average crystallite size) are apparent. Further, Principal Component Regression (PCR) reveals excellent correlations between the lead(II) adsorption isotherms and some of the physical properties (water content, average crystallite size, density, total pore volume, electric conductivity, porosity, etc). …”
