Pesticides persist as a prevailing tool in global agriculture for the management of pest populations and to increase crop yields. Their extensive application may lead to the dispersion of pesticide compounds into the environment, subsequently resulting in their persistence as residues within food products. Consequently, there exists the potential for adverse consequences for non-target organism…
Chromogenic assays (color detection) result in colored reaction products. By detecting the color change before and after the reaction, substance concentration can be determined by the naked eye, light microscopes, or spectrophotometers. Color detection exhibits great potential in the field of quality monitoring, chemical technology, nanophysics, and clinical medicine, because of its rapid, dire…
The contributors analyse the mutual impact of colonial and postcolonial governance on the development, organisation and mobilisation of Islam paying special attention to the ongoing battles over the codification of Islamic education, religious authority, law and practice while outlining the similarities and differences, the continuities and ruptures in British, French and Portuguese colonial ru…
The Special Issue Colloid Chemistry presents a comprehensive overview of what opportunities the colloidal scale, i.e., the nanoscale, offers to scientists from chemistry, physics, materials sciences, and biomedicine. Sophistically designed colloids are used for studying physical and physicochemical phenomena to gain a deeper understanding of interparticle interactions, not forgetting that such …
The field of coatings and thin-film technologies is rapidly advancing to keep up with new uses for semiconductor, optical, tribological, thermoelectric, solar, security, and smart sensing applications, among others. In this sense, thin-film coatings and structures are increasingly sophisticated with more specific properties, new geometries, large areas, the use of heterogeneous materials and fl…
Whereas diffusion NMR can probe the structural configurations configurations of microscopic environments in biological tissue, relaxation can provide complementary information on their chemical composition. This chapter considers experiments in which diffusion diffusion and relaxation properties are sampled simultaneously by varying multiple acquisition parameters. As such, correlations betwee…
