Authors: Gaysina Lira Albertovna
Published: November 2023

Terrestrial algae are the group of photosynthetic organisms, which can survive in extreme conditions. pH is one of the most important factor, influencing on distribution of algae, both in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The influence of different pH levels on cell volume and other morphological characters of authentic and reference strains of Chlorella vulgaris, Bracteacoccus minor, Pseudoccomyxa simplex, Chlorococcum infusionum, and Vischeria magna were studied. Chlorella vulgaris and Pseudoccomyxa simplex were the most resistant species, retaining its morphology in range of pH 4-11,5. The change of pH towards acidic and alkaline levels caused the increase of volume of Pseudoccomixa simplex and Vischeria magna cells according to polynomial regression model. Volume of Chlorella vulgaris cells increased from low to high pH according to linear regression model. Changes of pH levels did not have a significant impact on volume of Bracteacoccus minor and Chlorococcum infusionum cells. Low and high levels of pH caused thickening of cell walls of Chlorococcum infusionum and increase of oil containing substances in Vischeria magna and Bracteacoccus minor cells. Our study revealed a high resistance of studied species to extreme level of pH, which allow recommend these strains for broader use in biotechnology and natures protection.

Authors: Caimi Gregorio , Carlisi Melania , Lo Presti Rosalia
Published: November 2023

. Background: regular exercise elicits adaptive changes from several organs and physiological processes, including erythrocyte properties. Methods: in a group of 79 subjects (62 men and 17 women; mean age 31.37 +/- 10.19 years) who trained several times a week as they practiced amateur sports, we evaluated the elongation index, marker of erythrocyte deformability, the red blood cell distribution width (RDW), indicator of erythrocyte anisocytosis, hematocrit, hemoglobin and the main erythrocyte indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) in basal conditions. Results: in comparison with a group of healthy not trained volunteers, the values of the elongation index, and not the RDW, are increased and this datum is accompanied by an increase of MCV and MCHC, likely related to an increased presence of circulating young erythrocytes in trained subjects. We also divided the same group according to the median of the VO2max, observing that the subgroup above the median shows both an increase in the elongation index values and a decrease in MCH and MCHC. Conclusions: in trained subjects there is no correlation between the values of elongation index and the RDW, while of particular interest and of a certain complexity seem the interrelations among elongation index, RDW and the main erythrocyte indices.

Authors: Wu Jiulong , Tian Ying , Wei Limin , Cai Ke , Luo Xixian , Wang Hong
Published: November 2023

Up-conversion luminescence (UCL) materials are of great importance due to their unique optical properties. In particular, the red UCL, falling into the optical transmittance window of biological tissues, can realize deep tissue penetration depth and high-resolution bioimaging. In this work, effective red UCL is achieved in the ternary sulfide by the introduction of Tm3+ or Ho3+ ions into Er3+ doped NaYS2 under 1550 nm excitation. The main emission peak is successfully tuned from green (NaYS2:Er3+) to highly efficient red luminescence (NaYS2:Er3+,Tm3+ and NaYS2:Er3+,Ho3+). The maximum red to green emission intensity ratio (IR/IG) increased by 31 and 80 times, respectively. The lifetime of 4I9/2(Er3+) level decreases significantly from 3432 s (NaYS2:Er3+) down to 636 (NaYS2:Er3+,Tm3+) and 423 s (NaYS2:Er3+,Ho3+), respectively. This is due to the altered energy transfer pathways, resulting in the population of 4F9/2(Er3+). The mechanisms of UCL and energy transfer processes are further supported by fluorescence decay dynamic measurements. The results show the realization of red-emissive UCL in the promising NaYS2 matrix, representing a new type of red UCL phosphors.

Authors: Putri GF Frideni Yushandiana , Pauru' Wilson , . Sulaeman
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Gold is a very important metal in human life. Most gold is processed using
the sodium cyanide (NaCN) leaching method. Maximizing the leaching recovery can be done by optimizing the leaching process parameters, one of which varies the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO). Oxygen is added to oxidize gold atoms (Au) into cations (Au+) which will then react with cyanide ions (CN-) to form the aurocyanid complex anion Au(CN)2- dissolved in cyanide solution. This study aims to investigate the best method between the use of O2 , H2O2, and Aachen reactor in generating dissolved oxygen concentration to oxidize valuable metals. From the experimental results, which method can produce higher leaching recovery will be seen. Based on this study, the dissolved oxygen variation derived from oxygen injection (O2) obtained a percent recovery of 92.5% Au and 80.5% Ag, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) achieved a percent recovery of 92.5% Au and 79.9% Ag, and Aachen sheared (Aachen reactor) with a percent recovery of 95% Au and 81.9% Ag.
