Comparative Investigation on the Soil Burial Degradation Behaviour of Polymer Films for Agriculture before and after Photo-Oxidation
2020
Polymer films based on biodegradable polymers, polyethylene (PE) and modified PE with oxo-degradable additive were prepared by film blowing. Carbon black (1%) was added to all the films. Commercial biodegradable Ecovio®
A supported titanium postmetallocene catalyst: Effect of selected conditions on ethylene polymerization
2011
Ethylene polymerization with a titanium complex [N,N-ethylenebis(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato)titanium dichloride] immobilized on the magnesium support with the formula MgCl2(THF)0.32(Et2AlCl)0.36 was studied. In particular, the effects of polymerization temperature, monomer pressure, and polymerization time on the activity of the catalyst and on the polyethylene properties (molecular weight and its distribution, melting point, crystallinity, and bulk density) were evaluated. The findings of investigations prove that the studied supported titanium catalyst is highly active in ethylene polymerization, and its activity increases with increasing temperature and monomer pressure. Moreover, stab…
Weathering of low-density polyethylene grafted with itaconic acid in laboratory tests
2011
Polyethylene grafted with itaconic acid was subjected to weathering under laboratory accelerated conditions. The course of the photo-oxidative degradation process of that material was studied by FTIR spectroscopy both through quantitative measurements of changes in absorbance values at selected wave numbers and through measurements of surface area values for absorption bands which were separated by means of deconvolution. The use of both those procedures of quantitative determinations resulted in a general conclusion that the oxidation process was initiated from the very first moment of irradiation, and it produced ketones, acids, esters (intramolecular and of acetate type), peracids, peres…

Amperometric Biosensor and Front-End Electronics for Remote Glucose Monitoring by Crosslinked PEDOT-Glucose Oxidase
2018
Focusing on the interplay between interface chemistry, electrochemistry, and integrated electronics, we show a novel low-cost and flexible biosensing platform for continuous glucose monitoring. The amperometric biosensing system features a planar three-electrode structure on a plastic substrate, and a wireless near-field communication-powered electronic system performing sensor analog front-end, A/D conversion, digital control, and display tasks. The working electrode is made of electropolymerized poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film onto a polyethylene terephthalate/gold electrode followed by immobilization of cross-linked glucose oxidase by glutaraldehyde. The advantages offered by such…
Polysarcosine-Based Lipids: From Lipopolypeptoid Micelles to Stealth-Like Lipids in Langmuir Blodgett Monolayers.
2016
Amphiphiles and, in particular, PEGylated lipids or alkyl ethers represent an important class of non-ionic surfactants and have become key ingredients for long-circulating (“stealth”) liposomes. While poly-(ethylene glycol) (PEG) can be considered the gold standard for stealth-like materials, it is known to be neither a bio-based nor biodegradable material. In contrast to PEG, polysarcosine (PSar) is based on the endogenous amino acid sarcosine (N-methylated glycine), but has also demonstrated stealth-like properties in vitro, as well as in vivo. In this respect, we report on the synthesis and characterization of polysarcosine based lipids with C14 and C18 hydrocarbon chains and their end g…
Naratīva struktūra un galvenā tēla analīze Džeimsa Bonda filmās
2016
Par bakalaura darba “Naratīva struktūra un galvenā tēla analīze Džeimsa Bonda filmās” pētījuma problēmu tiek izvirzīta Džeimsa Bonda filmu apbrīnojamā popularitāte, tāpēc, lai noskaidrotu šo filmu panākumu cēloni, darba mērķis ir apskatīt Bonda filmām raksturīgo naratīva struktūru, filmas tēlus un to lomas, kā arī pašu galveno varoni. Darba teorija ir balstīta uz teorētiķu atziņām un pētnieciskajām iestrādnēm par populāro kultūru, naratīvu, žanru kā būtisku naratīva sastāvdaļu, formālistu naratīva studijām, kā arī kino valodas elementiem. Ar kvantitatīvās un kvalitatīvās kontentanalīzes un naratīvas analīzes palīdzību ir veikta analīze piecās Džeimsa Bonda filmās: “Zelta pirksts”, “Dzīvo un…
Fresh-Cut Mangoes: How to Increase Shelf Life by Using Neem Oil Edible Coating
2022
The mango is the most widely cultivated tropical fruit. Fresh-cut mango is very useful, but it is very perishable. The purpose of this study was to highlight the effects of neem oil on fresh-cut mango fruits kept for 9 days at 4 ± 1 °C and 80 ± 5% relative humidity. The neem plant (Azadirachta indica) has numerous antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Despite this, very few studies have been carried out on neem oil added to edible coatings (EC) to retard ripening processes. Two formulations were tested: EC1 (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose + CaCl2) and EC2 (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose + CaCl2 + neem oil), both compared with an untreated sample (control). Physicochemica…
