Collection methods of wild barn owl pellets at low environmental contamination and proposals of microbiological and ecological investigations

Abstract Background The barn owl Tyto alba is a medium-sized nocturnal raptor, predator of small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, distributed all over the world.Environmentally uncontaminated wild barn owl pellets are hard and rare to find and provide a natural matrix for biological investigations.Results Different solutions for collecting wi

Recycling silver nanoparticle debris from laser ablation of silver nanowire in liquid media toward minimum material waste

Abstract As silver nanowires (Ag NWs) are usually manufactured by chemical synthesis, a patterning process is needed to use them as functional devices.Pulsed laser ablation is a promising Ag NW patterning process because it is a simple and inexpensive procedure.However, this process has a disadvantage in that target materials are wasted owing to th

Formulation of Menthol-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers to Enhance Its Antimicrobial Activity for Food Preservation

Purpose: Due to the antimicrobial property, menthol have significant potential for food preservation and foodstuff shelf life improvement.Nevertheless, menthol instability, insolubility, and rapid crystallization in aqueous media make it unsuitable for used in food products.This work was aimed to prepare menthol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers
