Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) with a continuous and mesoporous silica (m-SiO2) shell were synthesized using a one-step method, sourcing silica from rice husk ash (RHA).The rice husk was thermally treated to obtain ash, from which silica was extracted as sodium silicate and precipitated by pH reduction.This silica powder, combined with iron chloride sal
Wearable Pattern-Diversity Dual-Polarized Button Antenna for Versatile On-/Off-Body Communications
A wearable dual-port button antenna that excites pattern-diversity dual-polarized waves is proposed for on-/off-body applications.Its simple structure comprises of two radiators and a common ground plane designed into two substrates.The crossed-dipole radiator is made by two symmetric bowtie dipoles printed on a circular-shaped semi-rigid substrate
Complete chloroplast genomes shed light on phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, and biogeography of Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae)
Abstract Allioideae includes economically important bulb crops such as garlic, onion, leeks, and some ornamental plants in Amaryllidaceae.Here, we reported the complete Vitamins chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of 17 species of Allioideae, five of Amaryllidoideae, and one of Agapanthoideae.These cpDNA sequences represent 80 protein-coding, 30 t
Structure-Guided Computational Approaches to Unravel Druggable Proteomic Landscape of Mycobacterium leprae
Leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M.leprae), is treated with a multidrug regimen comprising Dapsone, Rifampicin, and Clofazimine.These drugs exhibit bacteriostatic, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties, respectively, and control the dissemination of infection in the host.However, the current treatment is not cost-effective, does not
The relationship between autochthonous wine attributes and wine consumption motives
This paper had a goal to explore the relationship between autochthonous wine attributes and wine consumption motives.Data were collected through a questionnaire, processed by standard statistical methods, univariate (general description of the sample), and multivariate statistics (factor analysis, cluster analysis Liquid Floor Strippers and logisti
