description: The sorbents Ni-Cu-FNP’s, Ni-Zn-FNP’s, Mn-FNP’s, and Zn-FNP’s were synthesised and utilised for the removal of Direct Golden Yellow RL dye. The optimum pH for the adsorption of direct golden yellow RL dye was 4, and 3 having the sorption capacities of 32.56, 30.44, 34.39, and 36.91 mgg−1 for Ni-Cu-FNP’s, Ni-Zn-FNP’s at 45 min and Mn-FNP’s, Zn-FNP’s at 60 min respectively with the optimum dosage of 0.05 g/50 mL. The maximum sorption capacities were 39.08 (Ni-Cu-FNP’s), 35.08 (Ni-Zn-FNP’s), 42.93 (Mn-FNP’s), and 44.22 mg/g (Zn-FNP’s) at 40°C, 37°C, 44°C, and 44°C respectively and the reduction observed in the sorption capacity by raising the temperature, showed that the process is exothermic The optimal initial concentration of dyes for all the sorbents having the maximum sorption capacities of 54.30 mg/g (Ni-Cu-FNP’s), 51.25 mg/g (Ni-Zn-FNP’s), 63.45 mg/g (Mn-FNP’s), and 66.35 mg/g (Zn-FNP’s) were 75, 100, 100, and 75 mg/L respectively to get maximal acidic dyes adsorption. Langmuir equilibrium isotherm for sorption showed good fitness on the data obtained by sorption while the pseudo-2nd-order proved good fitness on kinetic data of experiments. Surfactants, detergents, and different molar solutions of electrolytes (NaCl and AlCl3) decreased the sorption capabilities of the sorbents for the selected dye.

description: A novel ceramsite (MMSC) material was synthesised for phosphate removal from Municipal Solid Waste incineration bottom ash (MSWIBA) and Molybdenum tailings (MoT) as precursors with shell powders (SP) as an additive. The optimal process conditions and important parameters are the mass ratio of MSWIBA to MoT and the calcination temperature. The effects of the addition of SP on the composite (MMS) and the resultant ceramsite (MMSC) are characterised in terms of their apparent porosity and compressive strength. The optimal calcination temperature for the phosphorus adsorption capacity was established of MMSC. The optimum conditions for the synthesis of MMSC were as follows: MMS mass ratio, 4:6:0.9; preheating temperature, 700°C; preheating time, 30 min; calcining temperature, 1040°C; and calcining time, 25 min. MSSC is subjected to surface modification on treatment with Ca(OH)2. The surface-modified MMSC, denoted as Ca-OC, exhibits a four-fold higher phosphorus adsorption capacity compared with virgin ceramsite (MMSC). Its phosphorus adsorption isotherms are generated over a temperature of 25 to 45°C. The Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model fit the sorption process adequately, and demonstrate the chemical monolayer adsorption dominated process. The MMSC and the Ca-OC prepared under the optimal condition, had a compressive strength of 1.29 MPa, an apparent porosity of 42.2%, and a theoretical maximum phosphorus adsorption capacity of 7.79 mg/g at 45°C. X-ray diffraction analysis and analysis the adsorbed phosphate show that the chemical reaction between Ca2+ and PO43-, which forms hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3(OH)), is the main mechanism of phosphate removal.

description: Accurate fluoride measurement in water is required for selecting safe water sources or for treatment options to lessen its impact on public health. A low-cost, portable device has been developed as a rapid fluoride measurement system. It works with an optimal concentration of alizarin red S-zirconium complex (ARS-Zr, the sensor reagent). The device is an LED-phototransistor-based assembly to detect changes in light absorbance at 527 nm, due to monotonically decreasing ARS-Zr concentration with increasing fluoride concentration in water. We have optimised reagent composition in the device, enabling us with a wider fluoride detection range (0.2–9 ppm), rapidly within 4 min; simultaneously ensuring better reagent stability for up to 34 days. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the device are 0.2 and 0.6 ppm, respectively. The device replicates an analytical spectrophotometer’s performance, with a maximum error up to 5% in only a couple of cases. The hand-held device does not give any interference in the presence of even a very high 200 ppm concentration of other common heavy metals (Ca2+, Zn2+,Fe2+, Mg2+,Cu2+) and anions (Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, I−, CH3COO−, CO32−), which can be present in water. Fluoride concentration measurement above 1 ppm is unaffected, by even high phosphate concentration up to 10 ppm (typical phosphate level being only ≤ 2.3 ppm). Similarly, for silica concentration up to 10 ppm (typical silica level being 1-30 ppm), fluoride measurement remains unaffected. However, the presence of Fe3+ gives significant interference with fluoride. Overall, we demonstrate the device as an on-spot method, for rapid fluoride measurement, independent of TDS (57.6–151 ppm), pH (6.6–12.5) or conductivity (111.2–283 µS/cm) of the samples, at a low device cost of US$ 25 and reagent cost of 0.44 cents per sample.

description: Sulphur dyes are a class of dyes known for their low cost and excellent fastness to light and wash. But, excess amounts of unused dyes, electrolytes and sulphide contents were found to cause serious hazards to health and environment. This work reports the synthesis of cost-effective, non-toxic, environment-friendly chitosan (CS) and chitosan-TiO2 (5 wt% (CST-5), 10 wt% (CST-10) and 15 wt% (CST-15)) polymer nanocomposite films by the facile solution casting method. CS and CST polymer nanocomposite films were tested for the decolourisation of sulphur black dye. The structural analysis of the synthesised films using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) displayed the semi-crystalline peaks of chitosan and the anatase phase of TiO2 with tetragonal-bcc structure. The morphological analysis using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) revealed that TiO2 had dispersed uniformly into the polymer matrix. UV–Vis DRS and PL revealed the wide indirect band gap energy and charge transfer characteristics, respectively, of the polymer nanocomposite films. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) studies revealed the various bonds, functional groups and elemental properties of CS and TiO2-loaded CS films. Sulphur black dye decolourisation studies conducted under dark conditions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure revealed that CST-5 nanocomposite film exhibited an excellent decolourisation efficiency of 87.6% within 12 min of contact with the sulphur black dye solution. This swift and enhanced decolourisation was due to the synergistic effects of adsorption by chitosan and catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) by the catalyst TiO2. These nanocomposite films are potential materials for the treatment of wastewater and decolourisation of various toxic dyes.

description: In this research, applicability of an environmentally friendly deep eutectic solvent (DES) for pipette-tip micro-solid phase extraction and preconcentration of levofloxacin prior to its quantification by spectrophotometry at the wavelength of 240 nm is presented. Carvone:thymol (1:1 molar ratio) DES was prepared and coated on graphene oxide and applied as adsorbent. This adsorbent was characterised utilising Fourier transform infrared and field emission scanning electron microscopy, which showed a uniform layer of DES coated on graphene oxide. 5.0 mg of this adsorbent was packed into a 100 µL pipette-tip and was applied to miniaturised pipette-tip solid-phase extraction of levofloxacin. Parameters affecting microextraction including kind and volume of elution solvent, pH, amount of sorbent, sample volume, and number of aspirating/dispensing cycles were investigated and optimised using one-variable-at-a-time procedure, central composite design, and Box-Behnken design response surface methodologies. The developed method required only 5.0 mg of adsorbent and 150 µL of methanol:acetone (2:1) (elution solvent) to achieve a low detection limit of 0.3 µg/L with a linear range of 1–500 µg/L. High enrichment factor of 65.3 with a good precision (RSD ≤ 4.7%) was also achieved. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine levofloxacin in pills, blood, urine and a few seawater samples.

Distribution. This species was recorded from Saudi Arabia by El-Hawagry et al. (2016). It was described from Sweden. In the Middle East it was recorded from Turkey (Pont et al. 2005).
Taxonomic remarks. This species is closely related to the house fly but is slightly larger, it is 7–8 mm long and grey in colour with four dark stripes on the thorax, and a grey-black patterned abdomen (Gregor et al. 2002).
Biological remarks. It is a non-biting fly. The larvae feed on manure juices and plant sugars. Adults feed during the day on secretions around the eyes, mouth and nostrils on cattle and horses (Gregor et al. 2002). It is considered a pest species, as it transmits eyeworm Thelazia spp. (Spirurida: Thelaziidae) to cattle and horses, and pinkeye (conjunctivitis) in cattle. The latter is an infection of the surface of the eye by the bacteria Moraxella bovis as a result of irritants by pollen grain or dust scratching the cornea of the eye which increases the secretion of tears from the eye. This then attracts M. autumnalis to feed on the tears, which spreads M. bovis that causes pinkeye in cattle (Krafsur & Moon 1997; Giangaspero et al. 2004; Pont et al. 2005). Bradbury et al. (2018) reported a case of Thelaziasis in the eye of a 26 year old women where 14 worms of T. gulosa (Railliet & Henry) were found to have been transmitted by this species. There is a record that this species has also caused myiasis in cattle (Gilarriortua 2015).

description: An easy-to-use, fast, and efficient liquid phase micro-extraction was developed based on the use of a deep eutectic solvent to extract malachite green (MG) from the water and fish samples. Herein, a green solvent including choline chloride (ChCl): phenol (PhOH) with a ratio of 1:3 was tested as an extractant phase in dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction for MG extraction followed by spectrophotometric determination. A 15 ml portion of the sample solution was used, and various effective parameters for the deep eutectic solvent (DES) in the micro-extraction models, such as deep eutectic solvent volume, salt concentration, time of micro-extraction, and pH were assayed and optimised. The best micro-extraction cases were collected by 186 microlitres of deep eutectic solvent, a salt concentration of 1.2% W/V, a pH of 4.5 of samples, and a micro-extraction time of 5.5 min. Multi-layer perceptron was also used to train the network. R2 and mean square error (MSE) are 0.9965 and 1.8968 respectively. In optimal values, the linear range of malachite green was achieved to be 10–350 ng mL−1. Enrichment factor and LOD were reached to be 60 and 2 ng mL−1, respectively. The %RSD of 100 ng mL−1 of malachite green was 2.6%. Finally, this method allows the measurement of MG in fish and aqueous samples with favourable recoveries.

description: The $p$-ary linear code $\mathcal C_{k}(n,q)$ is defined as the row space of the incidence matrix $A$ of $k$-spaces and points of $\text{PG}(n,q)$. It is known that if $q$ is square, a codeword of weight $q^k\sqrt{q}+\mathcal O \left( q^{k-1} \right) $ exists that cannot be written as a linear combination of at most $\sqrt{q}$ rows of $A$. Over the past few decades, researchers have put a lot of effort towards proving that any codeword of smaller weight does meet this property. We show that if $ q \geqslant 32 $ is a composite prime power, every codeword of $\mathcal C_k(n,q)$ up to weight $\mathcal O \left( {q^k\sqrt{q}} \right) $ is a linear combination of at most $\sqrt{q}$ rows of $A$. We also generalise this result to the codes $\mathcal C_{j,k}(n,q) $, which are defined as the $p$-ary row span of the incidence matrix of $k$-spaces and $j$-spaces, $j < k$.

description: This study was conducted to determine heavy metal concentrations of the soils around two thermal power plants located in Çanakkale province (northwest Turkey) and health hazards of these heavy metals. By using random sampling method, 45 surface soils (0–5 cm depth) were taken from around the thermal power plants and heavy metal analyses were conducted on these samples. Average values of some heavy metals were greater than the normal background levels, and the others were lower than the background levels. While Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni and Zn concentrations were higher than worldwide soils, Co, Cu, and Pb concentrations were lower than worldwide soils. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations (p < 0.05) between 1) Co and Cd, 2) Cr and Cd, 3) Ni and Cd, 4) Pb and Cu, 5) Zn and Mn 6) Zn and Pb and highly significant positive correlations (p < 0.01) between 1) Cu and Cd, 2) Mn and Cd, 3) Zn and Cd, 4) Cr and Co, 5) Cu and Co, 6) Mn and Co, 7) Ni and Co, 8) Cu and Cr, 9) Mn and Cr, 10) Ni and Cr, 11) Ni and Cr, 12) Mn and Cu, 13) Ni and Cu, 14) Zn and Cu. Health risk assessments of heavy metals were made based on both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk index. The total non-carcinogenic risk index is 3.87E–01 for children and 4.67 E-02 for adults and present values were above these limits. Carcinogenic risks of heavy metals in children and adults were determined in the order of Cr > Pb > Ni > Co > Pb. Cr and Pb were found to be higher than the acceptable risk range (10-6–10-4) in children and adults. Since Cr and Pb concentrations exceed the limit values, heavy metal contents of the soils in the study area should be monitored regularly.

description: Chiral orbital currents (COC) underpin a novel colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in ferrimagnetic Mn3Si2Te6 [1]. Here we report the Hall effect in the COC state which exhibits the following unprecedented features: (1) A sharp, current-sensitive peak in the magnetic field dependence of the Hall resistivity; (2) An unusually large Hall angle reaching up to 0.15 (comparable to the highest values yet reported); and (3) A current-sensitive scaling relation between the Hall conductivity sigma_xy and the longitudinal conductivity sigma_xx, namely, sigma_xy ~ sigma_xx^alpha with alpha ranging between 3 and 5, which is both sensitive to external current and exceptionally large compared to alpha < 2 typical of most solids. These anomalies point to a giant, current-sensitive Hall effect that is unique to the COC state. We argue that a magnetic field induced by the fully developed COC combines with the applied magnetic field to exert the greatly enhanced transverse force on charge carriers, which dictates the novel Hall responses. The COC Hall effect is unique, as it is generated and controlled via the interaction between intrinsic COC and applied external currents, which leads to novel transport phenomena of fundamental and technological significance and requires new physics for explanation.

Distribution. This species was previously recorded from Saudi Arabia by Büttiker et al. (1979); Dawah & Abdullah (2009); El-Hawagry et al. (2013; 2016; 2017). It was described from Egypt. In the Middle East it has been recorded from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (Pont 1991; Deeming 2008; Dawah & Abdullah 2009).
Biological remarks. Larvae develop in dung (Deeming 2008). A common desert species, the adults sip sweat and blood flowing from wounds on cattle, camels, horses, donkeys and congregate and congregate on mucous membranes around the eyes and muzzles of these animals (Pont 1991; Gregor et al. 2002). They are known to transmit certain pathogens. The females lay eggs in fresh cow dung, or in other media, since adults have been collected at localities like a watering place for camel caravans where no cattle occur (Büttiker et al. 1979). Adults prefer open sunny pastures, apparently never being found indoors. In the laboratory the life cycle is very rapid at 27–33ºC taking only 8–9 days, of which the pupal stage lasts 5–6 days. In nature, however, especially when humidity is low in breeding sites, the species is thought to enter diapause (Gregor et al. 2002).
