Use of at least an inorganic substance to increase the photosynthesis rate of the cells and plant containing chlorophyll, where the substance emits light in a visible region of 380-780 nm, and absorbs IR radiation with a wave length of about 780 nm, in agricultural cover, green-house foil,...
An example structure of a chemical sensor containing biopolymer nanostructures is shown in Fig. 3. Sign in to download full-size image Fig. 3. Construction of a chemical sensor with the use of biopolymer nanostructures. Among chemical sensors, the most popular are optical and electrochemical ...
Nanocarriers are colloidal drug carrier systems consisting of nanosized particles ranging from 1 to 500 nm and, within them, a drug or bioactive substance that is dissolved or entrapped, and/or adsorbed or covalently affixed to the surface of the nanocarrier. Nanocarriers are nanomaterials that act...
Iron rusts in the presence of water and oxygen. Is this an example of a spontaneous process? Explain. Suppose you have two metal pieces that you need to join. One is copper and the other is iron (not galvanized). The surface of the copper piece is ...
A good example of the dynamic nature of iron cycling in the environment and its impact on the reducibility of minerals. CAS PubMed Google Scholar Mejia, J., Roden, E. E. & Ginder-Vogel, M. Influence of oxygen and nitrate on Fe (hydr)oxide mineral transformation and soil microbial ...
Sunlight is one of the main harmful exogenous factors that induce the reactive oxygen species formation. The human skin is the first line of photoprotection against harmful exogenous factors, such as UV radiations. The topical application of sunscreens,
supposed to restrict the use of timber cladding to high-status buildings, but there is extensive evidence of use in more ‘common’ dwellings. For example, the Grubenhäuser excavated at the site of the Anglo-Saxon village of West Stow in the UK showed clear evidence of the use of ...
The production of ROS for its bactericidal capabilities is a mechanism widely utilised in nature. For example, this defence system can also be found in honey with ROS produced by the enzymatic oxidation of glucose (Eq. 2)29. Honey has been used for millennia in wound care applications and is...
These compounds are nonbiodegradable and stay in the water systems for longer periods of times. Inorganic pollutants include pigments, alkalis, mineral acids, cyanides, fluorides, and heavy metals, for example, arsenic, mercury, lead, chromium, selenium, zinc, etc. (Chaudhry et al., 2016, ...
One example of such an application is in Haemophilus influenzae, where Jurcisek and colleagues used a lux-based reporter to show that pilA, which is important for type IV pilus production, is expressed during colonization and that pilA is required to establish a biofilm infection (Jurcisek et ...
