Cloisite Microrobots as Self-Propelling Cleaners for Fast and Efficient Removal of Improvised Organophosphate Nerve Agents.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Naturally available microclays are well-known materials with great adsorption capabilities that are available in nature in megatons quantities. On the contrary, artificial nanostructures are often available at high cost via precision manufacturing. S...

Estimation of soil specific surface area using some mechanical properties of soil by artificial neural networks.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Soil specific surface area (SSA) is an important property of soil. Depending on the measurement techniques, determination of the SSA is costly and time consuming. Hence, a limited number of studies have been conducted to predict the SSA from the soil...

Enhanced antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin-encapsulated halloysite nanotubes.

International journal of nanomedicine
To improve the antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX) and provide novel clinical treatment of gastric cancer, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with DOX were encapsulated by soybean phospholipid (LIP) and the formed HNTs/DOX/LIP was systematically ...

Analysis of the Importance of Oxides and Clays in Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn Adsorption and Retention with Regression Trees.

PloS one
This study determines the influence of the different soil components and of the cation-exchange capacity on the adsorption and retention of different heavy metals: cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc. In order to do so, regression models...

Analyzing the impact of clay minerals on the reservoir quality of the Lower Goru Formation using Unsupervised Machine Learning.

PloS one
The reservoir quality of the Lower Goru Formation is highly variable due to its heterogeneous nature influenced by sea level fluctuations during the Early Cretaceous period. This study applies an unsupervised machine learning workflow, integrating Pr...

Searching for Models for Psychological Science: A Possible Contribution of Simulation.

Integrative psychological & behavioral science
The problem of the theoretical precariousness of psychology requires defining, at an epistemological level, its concepts and languages and the use of models for finding core concepts and building more or less 'hard' theories. After reviewing some mai...

Application of artificial neural networks for prediction of photocatalytic reactor.

Water environment research : a research publication of the Water Environment Federation
In this paper, forecasting of kinetic constant and efficiency of photocatalytic process of TiO2 nano powder immobilized on light expanded clay aggregates (LECA) was investigated. Synthetic phenolic wastewater, which is toxic and not easily biodegrada...
