Although 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4,-tricarboxylic acid, PBTC, has manifold industrial applications, relevant and reliable data on the protonation of PBTC are poor. However, these data are critical parameters for ascertaining PBTC speciation, especially...
Ten times at intervals of 1–2 months, individual treatment stages of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were analyzed for the five quantitatively most widely used phosphonates. The total dissolved concentration of the investigated phosphon...
Organophosphonates have manifold applications in the chemical industry, of which one of the most commonly used is 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC). It is widely used as a cement additive and may pose a potential risk of complexing ra...
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits variable survival outcomes based on tumor location, with pancreatic head cancer (PHC) and pancreatic body/tail cancer (PBTC) differing in prognosis and treatment response. This study invest...
Sediment, suspended matter (SM), and water of a large river (Neckar; River1) and a small river (Körsch; River2) were analyzed for the phosphonates 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC), 1-hydroxyethylidene (1,1-diphosphonic acid) (HE...
Digital and scalable technologies are increasingly important for rapid and large-scale assessment and monitoring of land cover change. Until recently, little research has existed on how these technologies can be specifically applied to the monitoring...
Although vegetation phenology thresholds have been developed for a wide range of mapping applications, their use for assessing the distribution of natural bamboo and the related carbon stocks is still limited, especially in Southeast Asia. Here, we u...
Background: Understanding the effect of selumetinib on FASI may help elucidate the biology, proliferative potential, and role in neurocognitive changes for these NF1-associated lesions. Methods: Patients with NF1-associated LGG and FASI treated with...
The impact of tumor location on patient survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains controversial. This study investigated the association between primary tumor location and survival rates for resectable PDAC. Additionally, we assesse...
To address the challenges of low mechanical strength and poor water resistance in magnesium oxysulfate cement (MOSC), this study explores the incorporation of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) and hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride (HPMA...
As more data and technologies become available, it is important that a simple method is developed for the assessment of land use changes because of the global need to understand the potential climate mitigation that could result from a reduction in d...
Background/Objectives: Palbociclib, an oral CDK 4/6 inhibitor, was evaluated in a Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC) phase 1 (NCT02255461; PBTC-042) study to treat children and young adults with recurrent, progressive, or refractory brain tumors...
As Information Technology continues to rapidly evolve, the scale and energy consumption of data centers have seen a significant surge. Traditional air-cooling systems in data centers are notably energy intensive. This study proposes an innovative dua...
Background/Objectives: Multiple immune-modulatory strategies have been tested in efforts to mitigate the pro-tumor microenvironment in pediatric high-grade glioma. HSV1716 is an oncolytic virus that previously demonstrated evidence of response in adu...
The issue of heavy metal and radionuclide contamination is still causing a great deal of concern worldwide for environmental protection and industrial sites remediation. Various techniques have been developed for surface decontamination aiming for hi...
This study presents the formulation and application of strippable coatings for the entrapment and removal of heavy metals (HMs) and radio nuclides (RNs). The “green” formulations involve the use of a water-based solution consisting of a s...
Water injection is widely recognized as one of the most important operational approaches for enhanced oil recovery in oilfields. However, this process faces significant challenges due to the formation of sulfate and carbonate mineral scales caused by...
Surface decontamination is a vast domain. The majority of the methods use a considerable quantity of water, requiring further treatments. This study presents an ecological method for surface decontamination, based on polymeric nanocomposites, special...
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most lethal malignancies with a median survival time of about 4 months. Currently, there is no effective treatment, and the development of new therapies is an important and urgent issue for ATC patients....
Assessment of forest cover changes is required to establish the forest reference emission level (FREL) at any scale. Due to civil conflict, such assessments have not yet been undertaken in Sri Lanka, especially in the conflict zone. Here, we assessed...
This research is focused on the laboratory study of salt crystallization inhibitor products as new materials for conservation treatments which can be applied to mortars and painted plasters; as is well known, salt crystallization is one of the most f...
