Due to massive production, inefficient waste collection, and long lives, plastics have become a source of persistent pollution. Biodegradation is explored as an environmentally friendly remediation method for removing from the environment. Microbial animal biodegradation methods been reported in literature various plastics. Levels plastic oxidation are often used evidence degradation can be mea...

Advances in electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) have made possible the structural determination of large biological machines in the resolution range of 6-9 angstroms. Rice dwarf virus and the acrosomal bundle represent two distinct types of machines amenable to cryo-EM investigations at subnanometer resolutions. However, calculating the density map is only the first step, and much analysis remain...

The various elements used in assessing the lymphedema patient are presented. These include History and Physical examination measurements that limb circumference, volume, bio-impedence spectroscopy. In addition, different imaging techniques to assess lymphatic system discussed. Finally, a treatment algorithm is presented for of patient.

The acid-catalyzed liquefaction of rape straw in methanol using microwave energy was examined. Conversion yield and energy consumption were evaluated to profile the microwave-assisted liquefaction process. Chemical components of the bio-oils from various liquefaction conditions were identified. A higher reaction temperature was found to be beneficial to obtain higher energy consumption efficien...

In this work, an eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs) using botanical extracts in combination with electrochemical process was carried out. We employed three types plant extracts, including green tea leaf (GTE), grapefruit peel (GP), and mangosteen (MP) to successfully synthesize bio-AgNPs optimized experimental conditions aiming get highest synth...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In this study, an acidophilic actinobacteria strain was used as a novel reducing agent for a single-step synthesis of nanostructure silver particles. We used a Streptacidiphilus durhamensis HGG16n isolate for efficient synthesis of bioactive silver nanoparticles [bio(AgNPs)] in an inexpensive, eco-friendly, and nontoxic manner. The obtained bio(AgNPs) exhibited unique physico...
