Interfacial engineering of NiO-carbon black decorated MXene for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors

MXene is a conductive and mechanically robust two-dimensional material that suffers from fewer redox-active charge storage sites and self-aggregation. MXene was synthesized from the MAX phase by LiF/HCl etching. Carbon black (CB) nanoparticles were then intercalated between the M...

Evaluating Bottom‐Up Effects of Cruciferous Cultivars to Optimise Mass‐Rearing and Fitness of the Parasitoid Diadegma insulare

ABSTRACT The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae: Lepidoptera), is one of the major pests of cruciferous vegetables. To control this notorious pest, the caterpillar parasitoid Diadegma insulare (Cresson) (Ichneumonidae: Hymenoptera) is the most used biocontrol...

Bony labyrinth taxonomic identification and long-term evolution of livestock in the Southwest and Central Asia

Abstract Southwest and Central Asia were pivotal regions for the domestication and dispersal of domestic herbivores. Here we investigate long-term variation in bony labyrinth morphology of domestic bovids (sheep, goats and cattle) across the last 10 000 years. We focused on the o...

Formulation and Physicochemical Stability Evaluation of a Polyherbal Cream Incorporating Turmeric, Neem, Green Tea, and Aloe Vera Extracts

Background: Skin aging is a multifactorial biological process driven by intrinsic factors such as genetic changes and hormonal decline, and extrinsic factors, primarily ultraviolet (UV) radiation, that trigger oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, collagen degradation by matrix...

Sepiolite reinforced alginate-based hydrogels for drug delivery applications

Abstract Cephradine is a first-generation bactericidal cephalosporin widely used for the treatment of urinary, respiratory and skin infections. When it is taken with the amount of 8–17%, this drug binds to serum, whereas almost 83–92% of it is released via the urinary tract witho...

Postharvest application of hot water and ultraviolet light prolongs the marketable window of fresh grapes by maintaining physicochemical attributes during ambient storage

The short shelf life of table grapes, mainly due to moisture loss, oxidative stress, and loss of quality during ambient storage conditions, is a significant limitation in regions that do not have cold-chain facilities. The current research addresses this challenge by comparing th...

Mitigation of ammonia and greenhouse gaseous emissions from naturally ventilated sloping-floor cattle housing using bedding additives

The renewed interest for straw-based cattle housing systems, driven by concerns over animal health and welfare in conventional cubicle barns, has increased the importance of naturally ventilated sloping-floor and other litter barns. However, these housing systems contribute subst...

Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolated from cattle faeces, beef, and human diarrheic cases in Sebeta, Ethiopia

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important zoonotic foodborne pathogen that can be transmitted to humans through multiple routes, including the consumption of contaminated raw or undercooked meat. Infection may result in severe clinical outcomes, including hemorrhagic colitis, hemo...
