The human visual system is not a colorimeter. The perceived colour of a region does not only depend on its colour spectrum, but also on the colour spectra and geometric arrangement of neighbouring regions, a phenomenon called chromatic induction. Chr...
Partial discharges (PDs) are one of the most important classes of ageing processes that occur within electrical insulation. PD detection is a standardized technique to qualify the state of the insulation in electric assets such as machines and power...
The color reflector with multiple-layer thin film scheme has attracted much attention because of the potential for massive production by wafer-scale deposition and the possibility to integrate with photonics (semiconductor) devices. Here, an angle-in...
Manganese is an essential trace element; nevertheless, on conditions of overload, it becomes toxic, with neurotoxicity being the main concern. Chromate is a well-known human carcinogen. The underlying mechanisms seem to be oxidative stress as well as...
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a serious environmental pollutant and human toxicant. Mammalian cells are very sensitive to chromate as they lack efficient chromate detoxifying strategy, e.g., chromate-reducing genes that are widely present in prokar...
Owing to their structure, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are nowadays considered as rising materials in different fields of application. In this work, the results obtained in the usage of two different LDHs to remove, by adsorption, some cationic a...
The present study is aimed to analyze the composition of microelements in wines prepared by amateur winemakers in Drama region (recognized as Protected Geographical Indication (PGI)), especially the toxic ones, as well as the phenolic content and ant...
This study systematically investigates the color origin and coloration mechanisms of yellow-green nephrite from Ruoqiang, Xinjiang, using multiple analytical techniques including hyperspectral colorimetry, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, titri...
We report a monolithic GaN-based light-emitting diode (LED) platform capable of color-tunable white-light emission via LED size scaling. By varying the LED size from 800 µm to 50 µm, the injection current density was effectively controlle...

The electrokinetic technique is an emerging technology presently tested in situ to remove dissolved heavy metals from contaminated groundwater. There is a growing interest for using this system to cleanse clayey soil contaminated by toxic metallic io...
