In aqueous systems, including groundwater, nano-colloids (1–100 nm diameter) and small colloids (<450 nm diameter) provide a vast store of surfaces to which organic carbon (OC) can sorb, precluding ...

DNA-coated colloids hold great promise for self-assembly of programmed heterogeneous microstructures, provided they not only bind when cooled below their melting temperature, but also rearrange so ...

Designing and building custom-made structures at the microscopic scale is a fundamental goal in nanotechnology. Many self-assembly approaches have the advantage of being autonomous in that no external ...

Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Sangareddy, India Colloidal contaminants, such as pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, and protozoa) and engineered ...

Natural organic matter can change As speciation via redox reactions and complexation influencing its mobility and toxicity. Here we show that binary and ternary colloids and dissolved complexes of ...

Objective To compare the haemodynamic effect of crystalloids and colloids during acute severe hypovolaemic shock. Design Exploratory subgroup analysis of a multicentre randomised controlled trial ...

Urine is a highly saturated solution of extremely complicated composition. Its basic organic constituents are urea, uric acid and its salts, formed by the oxidation of purines. In that fluid, ...

When we zoom in to microscopic dimensions a world reveals itself, the one where small objects rule. Small particles, droplets, organisms, and nano-patterns have a tremendous influence on the ...

Critically ill people may lose large amounts of blood (because of trauma or burns), or have serious conditions or infections (e.g. sepsis); they require additional fluids urgently to prevent ...
