MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF OIL-DEGRADING NATIVE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE STATION OIL- CONTAMINATED SOILS

Molecular Characterization and Evaluation of Oil-degrading Native Bacteria Isolated from Automotive Service Station Oil- contaminated Soils

In this study, a hydrocarbon-degrading mixed inoculum which is able to use used oil as sole carbon source, was selected from 15 bacterial isolates obtained from automotive service station oil-contaminated soils.Degrading microorganisms were isolated using different oils as sole carbon source and identified by the amplification and sequencing of the

En route to single-step, two-phase purification of carbon nanotubes facilitated by high-throughput spectroscopy

Abstract Chirality purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is desirable for applications in many fields, but general utility is currently hampered by low throughput.We discovered a method to obtain single-chirality SWCNT enrichment by the aqueous two-phase GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE extraction (ATPE) method in a single step.To achieve approp

Smart Antenna for Application in UAVs

In the present paper, a smart planar electrically steerable passive array radiator (ESPAR) antenna was developed and tested at the frequency of 1.33 GHz with the main goal to control the main radiation lobe direction, ensuring precise communication between the antenna that is implemented in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the base station.A co
