The structural characterization of the immobilized pectin lyase was performed by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD chromatographic analyses and it was observed that the support materials structure was appropriated to immobilization with pectin lyase and to modify with Fe3O4 nanoparticles.Background Leishmaniases are neglected diseases caused by infection with…[Read more]

A state-of-the-art zT of 1.0 near room temperature was attained in hot deformed Bi1.5Sb0.5Te3, which is higher than those for most known n-type thermoelectric materials, including commercial Bi2Te3-xSex ingots and the popular Mg3Sb2. Technically, building both the n-leg and p-leg of a thermoelectric module using similar chemical compositions has…[Read more]
