Electrospun Nanofibers Loaded with Verbena officinalis Extract as Multifunctional Bioactive Wound Dressings

Background/Objectives: Verbena officinalis has long been used in traditional medicine for treating skin disorders, yet its potential in advanced wound-dressing systems remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to characterize V. officinalis extracts obtained using differe...

Non-isothermal reduction of TeO2 by hydrogen: Integrated distributed-activation-energy-model (DAEM)-shrinking-core-model (SCM) kinetic modeling and enthalpy-entropy compensation analysis

The non-isothermal reduction of TeO 2 (tellurium dioxide) by hydrogen (H 2 ) was investigated using thermal analysis (TG/DTG) techniques at multiple heating rates (1.0, 4.8, 9.6, and 18.8 K/min). Reaction kinetics were evaluated through an integrated Distributed Activation Energy...

Trace element accumulation in bryophytes from Allchar (North Macedonia): contamination or genuine hyperaccumulation?

Abstract Main conclusion Genuine accumulation of metals/metalloids in bryophytes is limited and highly susceptible to surficial contamination with soil particles. Washing with an apolar solvent removes most surficial contamination prior to elemental analysis. Abstract Bryophytes...
