Photocatalytic Activity of Y-Doped ZrO2 Thin Films

In this paper, we have investigated the photocatalytic performances of some yttrium-doped ZrO2 films for decomposing Rhodamine B and Methylene Blue. The as-deposited thin films (obtained by RF magnetron sputtering) were heat-treated to stabilize their structure. To assess the fil...

Accumulation of Metals and Metalloids in Marine Invertebrates and Macroalgae in False Bay (Cape Town, South Africa)

The concentrations of 18 metal(loid)s were measured in five marine invertebrate species (Oxystele tigrine and sinensis, Marthasterias glacialis, Cymbula oculus and granatina, Parechinus angulosus, and Mytilus galloprovincialis) and five macroalgae/seaweed species (Aeodes orbitosa...
