Isothermal kinetics of exchange of water absorbed in calcium alginate hydrogel with ethanol
Authors: Cvetkovic Nebojsa , Jovanovic Jelena , Macesic Stevan , Adnadjevic Borivoj
Published: November 2017

The isothermal kinetics of the exchange of absorbed water in calcium alginate hydrogels with ethanol was investigated. The isothermal kinetic curves were measured within the temperature range from 297 to 316 K. By the application of differential isoconversional methods, it was found that the process of exchange of water absorbed in calcium alginate hydrogel with ethanol has a unique rate determining step (a single step process). Using the model fitting method, it was determined that the kinetics of the exchange can be mathematically described with the kinetic model of the first-order chemical reaction. The values of the kinetic parameters of water exchange: the rate constants (km), energy of activation (Ea = 18.0 kJ?mol?1), and the pre-exponential factor (ln[A/min?1] = 4.0) were calculated. By using Eyring's equation, the values of thermodynamics parameters: standard enthalpy of activation (?H*), standard entropy of activation (?S*), and Gibbs energy of activation (?G*) were calculated. It was found that the rate of rearrangements of the bound water around hydrophilic groups of a polymeric network has a dominant effect on the kinetics of the exchange of the absorbed water with ethanol. The mechanism of the exchange of adsorbed water with ethanol was suggested.

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the application of mineral
fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus and potassium on the productive
characteristics of some small grains grown on pseudogley soils. The research
was carried out in the vicinity of Kraljevo during the period 2011/2013. The
experiment included wheat, winter barley and triticale and 3 variants of
fertilizers (K ? control; V1 ? N80 P60 K60; V2 ? N80 P80 K80 and V3 ? N80
P100 K100). In addition to grain yield, absolute mass and hectoliter mass
were observed. The obtained results were analyzed using the analysis of
variance. There were no significant differences in yield, absolute mass and
hectoliter mass of the grain between small grains. The use of fertilizers
with an increased content of phosphorus and potassium led to a significant
increase in grain yield, absolute mass and hectoliter mass of small grains
compared to control. Among the variants V1 and V2, and V2 and V3 variants,
there were no statistically significant differences in the absolute mass and
hectoliter mass of the grain. The average values of grain yield of small
grains ranged from 1510 kg ha-1 in the control variant up to 3209 kg ha-1 in
the variant with the highest dose of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
Significant differences in grain yield were observed between the variants V1
and V2, as well as between the variants V2 and V3. The application of only
mineral fertilizers on acid soils leads to relatively low yields.
Floristic composition of weeds, morphological and productive characteristics of different wheat genotypes of alternative small grains in organic production
Authors: Roljevic-Nikolic Svetlana , Kovacevic Dusan , Dolijanovic Zeljko
Published: November 2017

This study was aimed at assessing the floristic composition of weeds,
studying properties of different wheat genotypes of alternative small grains
(stem height, last internode length and spike length, thousand-grain weight,
grain yield) and the relationship between the studied traits and dry weight
of weeds in an organic production system. Testing was carried out in a
randomized block design with four replications, in a two-year period
(2009/2010?2010/2011). The study included one variety of durum wheat Triticum
durum (Dolap, G1), the compact wheat Triticum compactum (Bambi, G2) and spelt
Triticum spelt (Nirvana, G3). A treatment for maintaining the increase in the
biological soil fertility included two different fertilisation variants: T1 ?
fertilisation only with microbiological fertiliser as a top dressing (5.0 l
ha-1); T2 ? biohumus fertilisation (3.0 t ha-1) and microbiological
fertiliser as a top dressing (5.0 l ha-1); T0 ? control ? without the use of
fertilisers. The results have shown that the genotype and treatment, as
studied factors, very significantly affected the dry weight of weeds, stem
height, last internode length and spike length, as well as the yield of
different wheat genotypes of alternative small grains, while the effect of
their interaction was lower. In terms of the lowinput system, a highly
significant negative correlation (r=-0.58) was observed between the stem
height and the dry weight of weeds. In addition, a significant negative
correlation was noticed between the grain yield and the dry weight of weeds
(r=-0.44). These results showed that proper selection of the genotypes
with the application of fertilisers could have a significant effect on the
weeds and could lead to establishing a stable production in the organic
production system.
Application of the Right to Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources to Indigenous Peoples
Authors: Enyew Endalew Lijalem
Published: November 2017

The right to Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources (PSNR) emerged in the era of decolonization. As a reaction to the irresponsible exploitation of their natural resources by colonial powers, the peoples under colonial rule and the newly independent developing states asserted the right to control and dispose of their own natural resources. The UN General Assembly recognized and reinforced their claims by adopting series of resolutions relating to the right of PSNR so as to facilitate the process of decolonization. However, the subjects of the right to PSNR has expanded to include ‘all peoples’ due to legal developments in international law pertaining to the right to self-determination of peoples and other human rights standards. This article explores the contemporary application of the right to PSNR to indigenous peoples, by virtue of their being of ‘peoples’, tracing the various developments in the international law of indigenous peoples since the inception of the right in the 1950s.
Elevers oppfatning av lærers tilbakemeldingspraksis: om sammenheng mellom graden av VfL-praksis og elevenes opplevde nytte av lærers skriftlige tilbakemeldinger i skriftlig norsk
Authors: Eriksen Harald
Published: November 2017

Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke elevers opplevde nytte av norsklærerens tilbakemeldingspraksis i skriftlig norsk. På bakgrunn av omfattende internasjonal forskning innen feltet ‘Vurdering for læring’ (VfL) er det i denne studien utviklet teoridrevne hypoteser som testes ved å analysere et datasett fra videregående skole. Hypotesene er at elevene oppfatter lærers tilbakemelding som mer nyttig hvis den 1) retter seg mot målet med opplæringen, 2) gir elevene informasjon via en forklaring eller instruks om hvordan de skal komme nærmere målet og 3) at lærer legger til rette for bruk av tilbakemeldingen. Strukturell likningsmodellering (SEM) av resultater fra en spørreundersøkelse blant elever (N = 213) er brukt som metode til å estimere forholdet mellom de fire latente variablene kriterier, forklaring, bruk og nytte (avhengig variabel). SEM er brukt fordi metoden egner seg til å undersøke sammenhenger i komplekse datasett. Funn er at læreres forklaringer på hvordan elevene skal forbedre seg skriftlig, er positivt statistisk assosiert med opplevd nytte. Et mer overraskende funn er at lærerens tilrettelegging for bruk av tilbakemeldinger ikke er signifikant assosiert med opplevd nytte. Resultatene blir diskutert i artikkelen. English abstract Students' Perception of Teachers' Assessment Practice: On the Link Between the Degree of Assessment for Learning Practice and Students' Conception of the Benefit of Teachers' Written Assessments in Written Norwegian The aim of the study was to explore student’s perceived usefulness of their Norwegian Language arts-teacher’s feedback practices in written Norwegian. On the basis of extended international research within the field of ‘Assessment for learning’ a set of theory-driven hypothesis have been developed and tested through analyses of data from a survey conducted in upper secondary school. According to theory students should perceive feedback from the teacher as useful if 1) it’s aimed towards the goals of the learning sequence, 2) provides information of how the student can reduce the gap between her/his own performance and the desired performance and 3) that the teacher facilitates further use of the feedback information in the learning process. Structural equation modelling (SEM) of results from the survey among students (N = 213) is used as method to estimate the relations between the four latent variables criteria, explanation, use and usefulness (dependent variable). SEM is chosen, as the method is suitable for investigating associations in complex data. Findings indicate that if the teacher, as perceived by the students, provides explanations on how to reduce the gap between performance and desired performance this is positively associated with usefulness. More surprisingly, the student’s perceptions of the teacher’s facilitation of use of feedback information are not significantly associated with perceived usefulness. Results are discussed in the article.

Gaps in the thread: Disease, production, and opportunity in the failing silk industry of South Sulawesi
Authors: Nuraeni Sitti
Published: November 2017

Indonesian silk farming (Sericulture) has experienced two waves of a pebrine epidemic (also known as pepper disease) and grasserie. The first pebrine epidemic occurred in 1973 and the second one occurred in 2010. Natural silk production in Indonesia has undergone dramatic decline after these epidemics. In addition to the disease, other factors also simultaneously contributed to the decline. This research examines the conditions and challenges to national natural silk industry recovery after a pebrine epidemic. The present study employs a survey and focus group discussion in three regencies (Wajo, Soppeng, and Enrekang), which took place in September 2016. Findings show that there are three major factors which contribute to the decline of national silk production, namely the: i) epidemic of silkworm disease, ii) quality of silkworms and the process of silkworm provision, iii) insufficiency of farmer means of production, and iv) lack of guidance and assistance for the farmers. Without interventions and greater support to properly maintain silkworm operations a potentially lucrative economy for rural farmers could go unrealized. The implications of this research also highlight key potential interventions for working with communities and supporting the overall resilience of national silk production in Indonesia.

Published: November 2017

This study examines the impacts of brand experience (BE) and service quality (SQ) on behavioural intentions (BI) via brand trust (BT) by developing an empirical model, building on recent advances in service quality and assessing relationships between brand experience, service quality and brand trust. Building consumers' BI is an important strategic objective for all product managers. This study proposes multiple mediation models to analyse the relationships between the constructs, and analyses survey data using partial least squares structural equations to explore how these elements can be modelled. Results show, in line with previous literature, that BE and SQ indirectly affect BI through BT. Further, BT is effective in building BI, and has a mediating effect on the relationships among BE, SQ and BI. The study found new theoretical insights that highlight the importance of the focusing on high SQ levels.

Published: November 2017

RESUMENEn este trabajo correlacional nos planteamos averiguar si hay relación entre la inteligencia emocional y el burnout a consecuencia de los estudios. Participaron 134 estudiantes de enfermería que cumplimentaron una serie de cuestionarios, la Escala de Inteligencia Emocional de Schutte-SSIE-33 y la Escala de Inteligencia Emocional-EIE-25 para evaluar la inteligencia emocional y el MBI-SS para valorar el burnout académico. Se realizaron análisis de correlaciones, la prueba t de Student y análisis de regresión múltiple. Los resultados mostraron que la inteligencia emocional se relaciona positivamente con la dimensión de eficacia académica del burnout y explica un 21.7% de su variabilidad. Estudiantes de enfermería con niveles elevados de inteligencia emocional y de conciencia emocional (dimensión de la inteligencia emocional) se perciben más eficaces en sus estudios, lo que puede traducirse en mayor éxito académico en el presente y en un futuro, y en logro profesional consecuentemente. Se necesita más investigación sobre los instrumentos de evaluación de la inteligencia emocional, con los que avanzar más en el conocimiento de estos constructos con el fin de promocionarlos en el ámbito universitario para lograr estudiantes más exitosos y saludables.ABSTRACTThe aim of this correlational study was identify if there are relationship between emotional intelligence and academic burnout. Participants were 134 nursing students that completed a series of questionnaires: the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale SSEI-33 and the Emotional Intelligence Scale EIS-25 to evaluate emotional intelligence, and the MBI-SS to evaluate academic burnout. We performed a statistical analysis of correlations, the Student’s t-test, and the multiple regression analysis. The results showed that emotional intelligence correlated positively with the burnout dimension of academic self-efficacy and explained 21.7% of variance. Nursing students with high levels of emotional intelligence and emotional conscience (dimension of emotional intelligence) had higher perceptions of academic self-efficacy, which could result in greater present and future academic success, and consequently in subsequent professional success. Further research on emotional intelligence assessment instruments is required in order to gain a deeper understanding of these constructs, to promote these within universities and thus achieve healthier, more successful students.

Bihotzekoak edo miokardioko infartu akutuak (MIA) behar bezala artatzeko oinarrizkoa da sare egoki bat sortzea. Erlazio zuzena dago sareen eta MIAen hilgarritasun-tasaren artean. Ezer gutxi dakigu, ordea, sareek MIA jasaten duten emakumeengan duten eraginaz. EAEn sarea 2012an sortu zen, BIHOTZEZ. EAEn 2012ko apiriletik 2013ko urrira eta 2014ko apiriletik 2015ko urrira jazo diren MIAk aztertu dira artatzeko orduan gizon eta emakumeen artean diferentziarik dagoen ikusteko eta sarearen eragina aztertzeko. Horretarako aztertu dira hilgarritasun-tasa eta sarearen kalitatea neurtzen duten denborak: sintomak hasi eta lehen harreman medikorakoa (LHM), LHM eta lehentasunezko azaleko interbentzio koronariorakoa (LHM-LAIK) eta LHM eta fibrinolisirakoa (LHM-fibrinolisia). 913 MIA jaso ziren, 234 emakume eta 639 gizon. Emakumeen batez besteko adina 10 urte zaharragoa zen. Adinaren arabera doitu ondoren, ez zen ezberdintasunik ageri bihotzekoen arrisku-faktoreen artean. Emakume gutxiagok jaso zuten tratamenduren bat (% 91,5 vs % 95,3; p=0,002), atzerapenak handiagoak izan ziren emakumeetan (LHM-LAIK 107 min vs 95 min; LHM-fibrinolisia 35 min vs 30 min). Hilgarritasun-tasan ez zen ezberdintasunik ikusi. Sareak eragina izan zuen tratamenduaren kalitatea neurtzen duten denboretan, murrizketak emakumeengan nabarmenagoak izan zirelarik (LHM-LAIK 22 min; LHM-fibrinolisia 2,5 min). Emakumeen hilgarritasun-tasa % 10etik % 6,4ra jaitsi zen, ez, ordea gizonezkoena (% 2,2 vs 2,2). Gizonekin alderatuta MIA jasaten duten emakumek aukera gutxiago dute tratamendu egokia behar den denboran jasotzeko. BIHOTZEZ sarearen eraginez tratamenduraino doazen denbora-tarteak eta heriotza-tasa nabarmen murriztu dira emakumeen artean.
Phase-field simulation of the solidified microstructure in a new commercial 6××× aluminum alloy ingot supported by experimental measurements

Published: November 2017

This work attempts to quantitatively describe the microstructural evolution in a new commercial 6××× aluminum alloy developed in an industrial laboratory (Al-0.87Si-0.81Mg-0.51Zn-0.46Cu-0.19Fe-0.09Mn, in wt.%), during solidification by using the phase-field simulation supported by experimental measurements. Coupling to the CALPHAD thermodynamic and atomic mobility databases is attained for providing energy and diffusivity information during the phase-field simulation. Two different resolutions are used in order to resolve the primary α-(Al) dendrite and the faceted β-AlFeSi eutectic phase in the phase-field simulations. The phase-field simulated microstructure morphology is verified by experimental results. Moreover, the microsegregation and back-diffusion phenomena in the primary α-(Al) dendrite are also analyzed.

Liberated Women and Travesty Fetishes: Conflicting Representations of Gender in Parisian Fin-de-Siècle Music-Hall Ballet
Authors: Gutsche-Miller Sarah
Published: November 2017

This article explores the multiple and often contradictory representations of women in Parisian music-hall ballets staged at the turn of the twentieth century as reflections of shifting conceptions of women's social roles in fin-de-siècle France. Music-hall ballets mirrored both the broadening of gender norms and the societal fears which accompanied these changing social mores; they helped reinforce shifting perceptions of women while simultaneously undermining them. Created at a rate of six or seven per year for fun-loving socialites, music-hall productions were as up-to-date as they were ephemeral, serving as an unusually direct theatrical barometer of middle- and upper-class Parisians’ tastes and values.
Feeling is Movement: Damasio's Neural Model of Dance Expression
Authors: Pashman Susan
Published: November 2017

This article deals with Antonio Damasio's significant contribution to clarifying the precise way expression works in dance. Damasio's neural model of consciousness, I believe, supplies the precision of terminology that allows aestheticians to link an observed object, the artwork, to the emotional experience of observing it. Damasio's ‘double’ notion of kinaesthesia provides a clear and useful way of distinguishing the neural aspects of the aesthetic experience from those best left to phenomenology.
Exploring the Future Potential of Jute in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Sanzidur , Kazal Mohammad , Begum Ismat , Alam Mohammad
Published: November 2017

The study assesses the future potential of the jute sector in Bangladesh by examining its growth performance, international competitiveness, profitability, and production efficiency using national time-series data of over the period 1973–2013 and farm survey data from 289 farmers from two major jute growing areas of Bangladesh. Results revealed that the jute sector has experienced substantial growth in area, production, productivity, prices, and exports. However, productivity has stagnated during the latter 10-year period (2004–2013), while it grew at a rate of 1.3% per annum (p.a.) during the first 31-year period (1973–2003). Only traditional jute production is globally competitive, although financial profitability of white jute is relatively higher (benefit cost ratio = 1.24 and 1.17, respectively). Land, labor, and irrigation are the main productivity drivers for jute. The mean production efficiency of jute is estimated at 75% indicating substantial scope to improve yield by eliminating inefficiency. Marginal farmers are relatively inefficient. Policy implications include investments in research and development, irrigation, and tenurial reform and export protection for white jute in order to revive the sector and boost export earnings.

Normally, individuals use smartphones for a variety of purposes like photography, schedule planning, playing games, and so on, apart from benefiting from the core tasks of call-making and short messaging. These services are sources of personal data generation. Therefore, any application that utilises personal data of a user from his/her smartphone is truly a great witness of his/her interests and this information can be used for various personalised services. In this paper, we present Lifestyle Pattern MIning (LPaMI), which is a personalised application for mining the lifestyle patterns of a smartphone user. LPaMI uses the personal photograph collections of a user, which reflect the day-to-day photos taken by a smartphone, to recognise scenes (called objects of interest in our work). These are then mined to discover lifestyle patterns. The uniqueness of LPaMI lies in our graph-based approach to mining the patterns of interest. Modelling of data in the form of graphs is effective in preserving the lifestyle behaviour maintained over the passage of time. Graph-modelled lifestyle data enables us to apply variety of graph mining techniques for pattern discovery. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal, we have developed a prototype system for LPaMI to implement its end-to-end pipeline. We have also conducted an extensive evaluation for various phases of LPaMI using different real-world datasets. We understand that the output of LPaMI can be utilised for variety of pattern discovery application areas like trip and food recommendations, shopping, and so on.

Energy consumption reduction under changing climate conditions is a major challenge in buildings design, where excessive energy consumption creates an economic and environmental burden. Improving thermal performance of the buildings through support applying phase change material (PCM) is a promising strategy for reducing building energy consumption under future climate change. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the energy saving potentials in buildings under future climate conditions in the humid and snowy regions in the hot continental and humid subtropical climates of the east Asia (Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong) when various PCMs with different phase change temperatures are applied to a lightweight building envelope. Methodology in this work is implemented in two phases: firstly, investigation of energy saving potentials in buildings through inclusion of three types of PCMs with different phase temperatures into the building envelop separately and use weather file in the present (2017); and, secondly, evaluation of the effect of future climate change on the performance of PCMs by analyzing energy saving potentials of PCMs with 2020, 2050 and 2080 weather data. The results show that the inclusion of PCM into the building envelope is a promising strategy to increase the energy performance in buildings during both heating and cooling seasons in Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong under future climate conditions. The energy savings achieved by using PCMs in those regions are electricity savings of 4.48–8.21%, 3.81–9.69%, and 1.94–5.15%, and gas savings of 1.65–16.59%, 7.60–61.76%), and 62.07–93.33% in Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong, respectively, for the years 2017, 2020, 2050 and 2080. In addition, BioPCM and RUBITHERMPCM are the most efficient for improving thermal performance and saving energy in buildings in the tested regions and years.

Published: November 2017

Carpooling is an environmentally friendly and sustainable emerging traveling mode that enables commuters to save travel time and travel expenses. In order to co-travel, individuals or agents need to communicate, interpret information, and negotiate to achieve co-operation to find matching partners. This paper offers the scheme of a carpooling model for a set of candidate carpoolers. The model is interpreted using an agent-based simulation to analyze several effects of agents’ interaction and behavior adaptations. Through communication and negotiation processes, agents can reach dynamic contracts in an iterative manner. The start of the negotiation process relies on the agents’ intention to emit an invitation for carpooling. The realization of the negotiation process depends significantly on the departure time choice, on the agents’ profile, and on route optimization. The schedule or agenda adaptation relies on the preferences among the realistic schedules of the agents and usually depends on both the participation of the trip and on the time of day. From the considerations, it is possible to reveal the actual representation of the possible carpoolers during the simulated period. Experiments demonstrate the nearly-polynomial relationship between computation time and the number of agents.

Flexible electronic devices, such as the typical thin-film transistors, are widely adopted in the area of sensors, displayers, wearable equipment, and such large-area applications, for their features of bending and stretching; additionally, in some applications of lower-resolution data converters recently, where a trend appears that implementing more parts of system with flexible devices to realize the fully flexible system. Nevertheless, relatively fewer works on the computation parts with flexible electronic devices are reported, due to their poor carrier mobility, which blocks the way to realize the fully flexible systems with uniform manufacturing process. In this paper, a novel circuit architecture for image processing accelerator using Oxide Thin-film transistor (TFT), which could realize real-time image pre-processing and classification in the analog domain, is proposed, where the performance and fault-tolerance of image signal processing is exploited. All of the computation is done in the analog signal domain and no clock signal is needed. Therefore, certain weaknesses of flexible electronic devices, such as low carrier mobility, could be remedied dramatically. In this paper, Simulations based on Oxide TFT device model have demonstrated that the flexible computing parts could perform 5 × 5 Gaussian convolution operation at a speed of 3.3 MOPS/s with the energy efficiency of 1.83 TOPS/J, and realize image classification at a speed of 10 k fps, with the energy efficiency of 5.25 GOPS/J, which means that the potential applications to realize real-time computing parts of complex algorithms with flexible electronic devices, as well as the future fully flexible systems containing sensors, data converters, energy suppliers, and real-time signal processing modules, all with flexible devices.

Published: November 2017

Mediterranean regions are prone to heavy rainfall, flash floods, and erosion issues. Drop size distribution (DSD) is a key element for studying these phenomena through the hydrological variables which can be derived from it (rainfall rates and totals, kinetic energy fluxes). This paper proposes a five-year (2012–2016) DSD climatology, summarized by scaling parameters for concentration, size, and shape. The DSD network is composed of two longitudinal transects of three OTT Parsivel optical disdrometers each, across the Mediterranean Cevennes–Vivarais region. The influence of several factors are analysed: location (distance from the sea, orographic environment), season, daily synoptic weather situation (derived from geopotential heights, at 700 and 1000 hPa), rainfall type (analysed from 5 min radar data), as well as some combinations of these factors. It was found and/or confirmed that the orographic environment, season, weather patterns associated with the exposure to low level atmospheric flows, and rainfall types influenced the microphysical processes, leading to rainfall, measured at the ground. Consequently, the DSD characteristics, as well as the relationships between the rainfall rate and reflectivity factor, are influenced by these factors.

Authors: Soleymani Mohsen , Rosentrater Kurt
Published: November 2017

A techno-economic evaluation of bioenergy production from macroalgae was carried out in this study. Six different scenarios were examined for the production of different energy products and by-products. Seaweed was produced either via the longline method or the grid method. Final products of these scenarios were either ethanol from fermentation, or electricity from anaerobic digestion (AD). By-products were digestate for AD, and animal feed, or electricity and digestate, for the fermentation pathway. Bioenergy breakeven selling prices were investigated according to the cost components and the feedstock supply chain, while suggestions for potential optimization of costs were provided. The lowest production level of dry seaweed to meet 0.93 ($/L) for ethanol fuel and 0.07 $/kW-h for electricity was found to be 0.68 and 3.7 million tonnes (dry basis), respectively. At the moment, biofuel production from seaweed has been determined not to be economically feasible, but achieving economic production may be possible by lowering production costs and increasing the area under cultivation.

For the first time, commercial macroporous melamine formaldehyde foam Basotect® (BT) was used as a basic carrier material for both adsorptive and covalent enzyme immobilization. In order to access inherent amino groups, the Basotect® surface was pretreated with hydrochloric acid. The resulting material revealed 6 nmol of superficial amino groups per milligram Basotect®. Different optimized strategies for tethering the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus onto the pre-treated Basotect® surface were studied. Particularly, for covalent immobilization, two different strategies were pursued: lipase was tethered via a cross-linking method using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, and laccase was bound after functionalizing Basotect® with hydrophilic copolymer poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PEMA). Prior to laccase immobilization, the PEMA coating of Basotect® was verified by ATR-FTIR analysis. Subsequent quantification of available high-reactive PEMA anhydride moieties revealed an amount of 1028 ± 73 nmol per mg Basotect®. The surface-bound enzyme amounts were quantified as 4.1–5.8 μg per mg Basotect®. A theoretical surface-covered enzyme mass for the ideal case that an enzyme monolayer was immobilized onto the Basotect® surface was calculated and compared to the amount of adsorptive and covalently bound enzymes before and after treatment with SDS. Furthermore, the enzyme activities were determined for the different immobilization approaches, and the stability during storage over time and against sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment was monitored. Additionally, PEMA-BT-bound laccase was tested for the elimination of anthropogenic micropollutant bisphenol A from contaminated water in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly way and resulted in a degradation rate higher than 80%.

Textile dyes are some of the most refractory organic compounds in the environment due to their complex and various structure. An integrated resin adsorption/Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma regeneration was proposed to treat the indigo carmine solution. It is the first time to report ectopic regeneration of the saturated resins by non-thermal Dielectric Barrier Discharge. The adsorption/desorption efficiency, surface functional groups, structural properties, regeneration efficiency, and the intermediate products between gas and liquid phase before and after treatment were investigated. The results showed that DBD plasma could maintain the efficient adsorption performance of resins while degrading the indigo carmine adsorbed by resins. The degradation rate of indigo carmine reached 88% and the regeneration efficiency (RE) can be maintained above 85% after multi-successive regeneration cycles. The indigo carmine contaminants were decomposed by a variety of reactive radicals leading to fracture of exocyclic C=C bond, which could cause decoloration of dye solution. Based on above results, a possible degradation pathway for the indigo carmine by resin adsorption/DBD plasma treatment was proposed.
