    Abstract Gas sensors are crucial in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and medical diagnostics. Due to the rising demand for precise and reliable gas detection, there is a rising demand for cutting-edge gas sensors that possess exceptional sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Due to their tunable electrical properties, high-density surface-active sites, and significant surface-to-volume ratio, nanomaterials have been extensively investigated in this regard. The traditional gas sensors utilize homogeneous material for sensing where the adsorbed surface oxygen species play a vital role in their sensing activity. However, their performance for selective gas sensing is still unsatisfactory because the employed high temperature leads to the poor stability. The heterostructures nanomaterials can easily tune sensing performance and their different energy band structures, work functions, charge carrier concentration and polarity, and interfacial band alignments can be precisely designed for high-performance selective gas sensing at low temperature. In this review article, we discuss in detail the fundamentals of semiconductor gas sensing along with their mechanisms. Further, we highlight the existed challenges in semiconductor gas sensing. In addition, we review the recent advancements in semiconductor gas sensor design for applications from different perspective. Finally, the conclusion and future perspectives for improvement of the gas sensing performance are discussed.

    Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammation of the colon lining, represents the main form of inflammatory bowel disease IBD. Nutritional therapy is extremely important in the management of ulcerative colitis. Fish oil contains long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have beneficial effects on health, including anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to investigate the benefits of bluefin tuna oil extracted by the Soxhlet method in vitro by determining the anti-radical and anti-inflammatory activities and in vivo by evaluating the preventive and curative effects. The experiments were carried out using two doses of oil (100 and 260 mg/kg) and glutamine (400 and 1000 mg/kg) on the acetic acid-induced UC model. UC has been induced in Wistar rats by intrarectal administration of a single dose of 1 mL acetic acid (5% v/v in distilled water). The obtained results indicate that tuna oil and glutamine have a significant anti-free radical effect. Tuna oil has a marked anti-inflammatory power based on membrane stabilization and inhibiting protein denaturation. The reduction of various UC parameters, such as weight loss, disease activity score DAS, and colonic ulceration in rats pre-treated with tuna oil and glutamine, demonstrate that these treatments have a significant effect on UC. Total glutathione GSH, superoxide dismutase SOD, and catalase activities are significantly restored in the tuna oil and glutamine groups, while lipid peroxidation has been markedly reduced.

    Abstract With the increasing applications of nuclear technology, radiation protection has become very important especially for the environment and the personnel close to radiation sources. Natural clays can be used potentially for shielding the X-ray radiations. In this study, the correlation between structural parameters and radiation shielding performance of natural clay extracted from Algerian Sahara (Adrar, Reggan, and Timimoune) was investigated. Phase composition and structural parameters (lattice parameters, average crystallite size, and microstrain) were determined by the Rietveld refinements of X-ray diffraction patterns in the frame of HighScore Plus software. The obtained results showed that the studied clays are nanocrystalline (nano-clay) since the calculated crystallite size was ≈3 nm for the feldspar phase. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of all phases already detected by XRD analysis besides Biotite (around the band at 3558 cm

    Abstract Nile blue (NB) dye is a highly toxic substance that when discharged into sewage presents a significant risk to the environment and human health. Carbon-based nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and their nanocomposites, offer considerable potential for eliminating hazardous pollutants from aqueous systems. In this study, we have successfully fabricated bare GO and rGO, and then, the rGO was decorated with silver (Ag) nanoparticles to develop the Ag-rGO composite. The as-prepared materials were characterized by various techniques, such as UV-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to elucidate their structure, morphology, and chemical composition. The pollutant removal performance of the as-prepared materials was evaluated through a batch approach under the effect of various experimental variables for removal of NB dye from wastewater. As obvious, the Ag-rGO composite revealed exceptional performance for NB dye removal from wastewater, with a maximum removal percentage of 94% within 60 min, which is remarkably higher than those of the rGO (i.e., 59%) and GO (i.e., 22%), under the same experimental conditions. The adsorption data was analyzed with thermodynamics, isotherms, and kinetics models to better understand the physicochemical mechanisms driving the effective removal of the NB dye. The results reveal that Ag-rGO nanocomposite exhibit excellent adsorption ability as well as favorable thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for NB dye removal. It was also found that the presence of light enhanced the adsorptive removal of NB while using Ag-rGO as an adsorbent. The present study noted significant reusability of the Ag-rGO nanocomposite, likely due to minimal Ag leaching and/or the robust stability of the Ag-rGO. It is suggested that Ag-rGO-based hybrid materials could serve as promising candidates for efficiently adsorbing and catalytically removing various toxic pollutants from wastewater.

    Abstract This research is devoted to assessing the pollution within a Mediterranean Sea area in the East coast of Algeria, which is known for its port and industrial activities. This study aims to assess the health status of the Gulf of Annaba located in the extreme North-East of Algeria by examining the contamination level by trace elements (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg) in the sediments and muscles of Mugil cephalus fish. The obtained results manifest significant variations in metal levels in the sediments throughout the stations and the sampling seasons. The contamination by (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) of Joannonville and Sidi Salem stations is observed during both seasons whereas at the Chapuis station occurs only during the summer. The contamination indices are higher than 3, hence classifying the sediments of these three stations as "sediments at risk". Joannonville station manifests high levels of Hg only during the summer. For the muscles of M. cephalus, the contamination levels are found to be dependent on the species and the studied station. The fish inhabiting Joannonville and Sidi Salem show higher levels of (Zn, Pb, Cd) compared to the FAO/WHO standards, whereas the Pb level at Chapuis exceeds the standard during summer. Accordingly, the consumption of fish from Joannonville, Sidi Salem and Chapuis stations presents a serious threat regarding the toxicological risks based on the observed levels of contamination.

    Abstract As society progresses and industrializes, the issue of water pollution, caused by a wide array of organic and inorganic pollutants, poses significant risks to both human well-being and the environment. Given its distinctive characteristics, water pollution has become a paramount concern for society, necessitating immediate attention. Numerous studies have been conducted on wastewater treatment, primarily focusing on two key approaches: adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. Adsorption offers unparalleled advantages, including its simplicity, high removal efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Conversely, photocatalysis harnesses abundant, clean, and non-polluting sunlight, addressing the critical issue of energy scarcity. Porphyrins, which are macrocyclic tetrapyrrole derivatives found widely in nature, have attracted growing interest in recent years. These lipophilic pigments exhibit remarkable chemical stability and have retained their major structural features for up to 1.1 billion years. As such, they are considered vital indicators of life and have been extensively studied, from the remnants of extinct organisms to gain insights into the principles of evolution. Porphyrins are often associated with a central metal ion within their ring system and can be modified through various substituents, including additional rings or ring opening, resulting in a wide range of functionalities. This comprehensive review summarizes recent advancements in the field of porphyrins. It begins by introducing the structures and preparation methods of porphyrins. Subsequently, it delves into notable applications of porphyrins in the context of pollutant adsorption in water and their environmentally friendly photocatalytic degradation.
