Pesticide application is essential for improving crop productivity; however, undesirable pesticide drift must be mitigated because of its adverse impacts on humans, the environment and ecosystems. The collection and accurate quantification of airborn...
Microalgae have great potential for remediating salt-affected soil. In this study, the microalgae species Coelastrella sp. SDEC-28, Dunaliella salina SDEC-36, and Spirulina subsalsa FACHB-351 were investigated for their potential to rehabil...
In recent years, fused deposition modeling (FDM) based on material extrusion additive manufacturing technology has become widely accepted as a cost-effective method for fabricating engineering components with net-shapes. However, the limited explorat...
Polyamides’ properties are greatly influenced by the polymerization process and the type of feedstock used. The solid forms of nylon salts play a significant role in determining the final characteristics of the material. This study focuses on t...
Ensuring bacterial safety of blood transfusions remains a critical focus in medicine. We investigated a novel pathogen reduction technology utilizing nylon functionalized with synthetic dyes (nylon affinity networks) to capture and remove bacteria fr...
Silicone gel sheeting (SGS) and pressure garment therapy (PGT) are the International Clinical Recommendations on Scar Management’s (ICRSM) two principal non-invasive scar-healing procedures. This study created a new PGT-SGS composite (PGF-Biopo...
Recently there has been an increasing need for synthesizing valued chemicals through biorefineries. Lactams are an essential family of commodity chemicals widely used in the nylon industry with annual production of millions of tons. The bio-productio...
In this paper we describe the use of thread as a low-cost material for a microfluidic chemosensitivity assay that uses intact tumor tissue ex vivo. Today, the need for new and effective cancer treatments is greater than ever, but unfortunately, the c...
Efficient collection of airborne spray is crucial to reduce environmental contamination and ensure effective pesticide application in agriculture. This study explored the efficacy of passive spray drift samplers, focusing on string collectors for cap...
Screen filters are widely used to retain suspended solids. Their performance depends not only on the nominal aperture size but also on the structural characteristics of the filter element, including material properties, weave pattern, and filtration...
High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection with genotypes such as HPV-16 and HPV-18 is a well-established risk factor for cervical cancer; however, its prevalence in oropharyngeal sites among asymptomatic women remains less clearly defined. We...
A series of novel polyfunctionalized acyclic and heterocyclic dye precursors and their respective azo (hydrazone) counterpart dyes and dye precursors based on conjugate enaminones and/or enaminonitrile moieties were synthesized. The dyes and their pr...
Rumen degradation kinetics of 25 feedstuffs (six protein feeds, nine energy feeds and ten roughages) were first determined using the nylon bag technique in situ and the differences of degradation characteristics fitted with five or seven time points...
Corynebacterium glutamicum is regarded as an industrially important microbial cell factory and is widely used to produce various value-added chemicals. Because of the importance of C. glutamicum applications, current research is increasingly focusing...
The objective of the study was a pre-screening of the microplastic (MP) content in surface water and benthic sediments of Kara Darya and Chirchiq rivers, the first-order tributaries of the Syr Darya River (Uzbekistan). For the first time, surface wat...
The nylon 12 (PA12) monomer ω-aminododecanoic acid (ω-AmDDA) could be synthesized from lauric acid (DDA) through multi-enzyme cascade transformation using engineered E. coli, with the P450 catalyzing terminal hydroxylation of DDA as a rat...
Due to the ubiquity of environmental micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), inhalation and ingestion by humans is very likely, but human health effects remain largely unknown. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key player of the innate immune system and is involve...
To improve the accuracy of the parameters used in the discrete element simulation test, this study calibrated the simulation parameters of cotton seeds by combining a physical test and simulation test. Based on the intrinsic parameters used for the p...
Infectious diseases that cause illness and/or death in humans can be contracted from mosquito bites. A viable and alternate method of personal protection that can lower the danger of human exposure to mosquito-borne diseases is the use of plant-based...
Ultrasensitive room temperature real-time NO2 sensors are highly desirable due to potential threats on environmental security and personal respiratory. Traditional NO2 gas sensors with highly operated temperatures (200–600 °C) and limited reversibili...
Thermochromic materials have attracted interest in textile applications, particularly in printing and dyeing processes. However, their thermochromic properties and impact on fabric comfort remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the the...
In recent days, a digestive abnormality is common due to modern life-style and food habits followed. For every ten adults in the world, four suffer from functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders of varying severity. Further, this is demonstrated by...
Straw and animal manure are major organic waste materials from agricultural ecosystems. Different kinds of animal manure combined with straw (AM-S) may have varying effects on the decomposition, nutrient release, and structural changes of maize straw...
