Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGRAPHENE OXIDE AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGAINST TWO GRAM-POSITIVE AND TWO GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA IN ADDITION TO ONE FUNGUSRoda F. Al-Thani, Noorunnisa Khanam Patan, Mariam A. Al-MaadeedGraphene based materials have wide potential applications in biology, biomedical, agriculture environmental and biotechnology. Graphene Oxide (GO) is one of those materials and has a promising substance as antimicrobial agents. GO in this study was prepared by a modified Hummers method and was characterized by different techniques for confirmation of formation of GO. To study the antimicrobial activities of GO, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 14 Oct 2014 · 9,246 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES ON NEUROBLASTOMA SH-SY5Y CELLSJinghui Zheng, Theresia Schnurr, Kriya Dunlap et al.The Arctic and sub-arctic regions are impacted by the growth of the global nanotechnology industry and the transport of chemicals to the North. New nanotechnology industries, such as neural prothesis, are bringing nanomaterials in direct contact with neurons and glial cells. Nanomaterials have unique chemical and physical properties that may lead to toxicological effects by interfering with normal cellular metabolism. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2014 · 8,490 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Dietary Whole Rice Hull as Insoluble Fiber on the Flock Uniformity of Pullets and on the Egg Performance and Intestinal Mucosa of Laying HensTossaporn Incharoen, Patchanida ManeechoteOur two experiments were intended to investigate the effects of dietary Whole Rice Hull (WRH) as insoluble fiber on the flock uniformity of pullets and the performance, egg quality and intestinal mucosa structure of laying hens. In experiment 1, a total of 1,500 chicks (4 weeks old) with the same uniform weight were randomly separated into three treatments of 500 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2013 · 8,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHost Pathogen Interaction Study in Malformed Affected Tissues of Mangifera indica L.Pradeep Kumar, Madhu Kamle, Vijai Kumar Gupta et al.The malformation disease of mango by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinan is one of the major causes of huge economical loss every year. Early diagnosis of the pathogens can help cultivators to protect the mango orchid and fruits from successive and secondary infection. The molecular detection is one of the better choices among available techniques for diagnosis.
