Permethrin Insecticide Influence on Microorganisms Present in Surface Waters by Julia Sroczyńska, Urszula Guzik, Wojciech Smułek

“…Bacteria from water from a protected area (Snowy Ponds, Karkonosze National Park, Poland, 50°46′58″ N 15°33′47″ E) and a relatively polluted Kierskie Lake (52°27′10″ N 16°47′35″ E) next to the Poznań (Poland) agglomeration were compared. The obtained results showed that for the tested microorganisms, the toxic effect of permethrin is observed at 1000 ppm for water consortia and pure strains as well, except <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> KlaKry, which appeared to be resistant to the insecticide. …”

Physical, Compressive Strength, and Microstructural Characteristics of Alkali-Activated Engineered Composites Incorporating MgO, MWCNTs, and rGO by Mohammad Ali Hossain, Khandaker M. A. Hossain

“…Thirty-two ambient cured alkali-activated engineered composites (AAECs) were developed by incorporating MgO, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber with a one-part dry mix technique using powder-based activators/reagents. The effects of material variables, namely binary or ternary combination source materials (fly ash C or F and ground granulated blast furnace slag ‘GGBFS’), two types of reagents with varying chemical ratios and dosages of additives (from 0 to 5% MgO and from 0 to 6% MWCNT/rGO), on the physical (slump flow, flow time, flow velocity, and density), hardness (compressive strength from 0 to 180 days and 28-day ultrasonic pulse velocity ‘UPV’), and micro-structural (SEM/EDS, XRD and FTIR) properties were evaluated. …”
