In this work, polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing different weight concentration of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were prepared by melt-mixing using an industrial-scale, co-rotating, intermeshing, twin-screw extruder.The materials were then compression moulded into sheets, and biaxially stretched at different stretching ratios (SRs) below m
PhotoGal4: A Versatile Light-Dependent Switch for Spatiotemporal Control of Gene Expression in Drosophila Explants
Summary: We present here PhotoGal4, a phytochrome B-based optogenetic switch for fine-tuned spatiotemporal control of gene expression in Drosophila explants.This switch integrates the light-dependent interaction between phytochrome B and PIF6 from plants with regulatory elements from the rowenta dr8270 yeast Gal4/UAS system.We found that PhotoGal4
Indole Degradation in a Model System and in Poultry Manure by Acinetobacter spp.
Indole degradation in a model system and in poultry manure was studied using an enrichment culture of two Acinetobacter species; Acinetobacter toweneri NTA1-2A and Acinetobacter guillouiae TAT1-6A.Degradation of indole was quantified using reverse phase high performance m1917a1 kelly helmet liquid chromatography (HPLC).The two strains were capable
Cutaneous anthrax in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a case report
Introduction: Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis which is transmitted to humans from infected animals.Transmission occurs when there is contact with animals or products from animals infected with anthrax.Anthrax infection is an important public health problem in developing countries.Indonesia is one of the countries where zo
Advances in Nanofabrication Technology for Nutraceuticals: New Insights and Future Trends
Bioactive components such as polyphenolics, flavonoids, bioactive peptides, pigments, and essential fatty acids were known to ward off some deadliest diseases.Nutraceuticals are those beneficial compounds that may be food or part of food that has come up with medical volleyball replacement net or health benefits.Nanoencapsulation and nanofabricated
