Influence of Non - Condensable Gases on the Processes of Heat and Mass Transfer during Film Condensation of Steam in Heat Exchangers

The aim of the article is a quantitative assessment of the influence of non-condensable gases on the intensity of heat and mass transfer processes during film condensation of steam in the specific conditions for heat exchanger. The task is ...

Silver Nanoparticles Suppress Apple Fire Blight: Antibacterial Activity, Reduced Carbohydrate-Containing EPS Content, and Altered Host Antioxidant Responses

The present study evaluated the phytoprotective activity of silver nanoparticles stabilized with sodium amphopolycarboxyglycinate (AgNPs-APCG) against apple fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora. A highly colloidally stable AgNPs-APCG dis...

Rhizospheric Microbes and Nanoparticles Synergize to Enhance Plant Immune Responses

ABSTRACT Sustainable crop production increasingly requires innovative strategies that can enhance plant resilience while reducing dependence on synthetic agrochemicals. Recent advances in nanotechnology and rhizosphere microbiome research h...

Agricultural Transformations and Their Influential Factors Revealed by Archaeobotanical Evidence in Holocene Jiangsu Province, Eastern China

The development and adoption of agriculture has been investigated for decades, and remains a central topic within archaeology. However, most previous studies focus on the crop’s domestication centers, leading to gaps in knowledge, particula...

Morpho-molecular approach reveals three novel endophytic fungi in Polyschema (Pleosporales, Latoruaceae) associated with roots of baobab trees in Yunnan, China

Endophytic fungi associated with roots of the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata L.) remain poorly documented in terms of species diversity worldwide. During an ongoing fungal survey in the dry-hot valleys of Honghe (Yunnan Province, China), f...

Phytochemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of <i>Barleria albostellata</i> C.B. Clarke Leaf and Stem Extracts

Barleria albostellata (Acanthaceae) is a shrub located in South Africa and is relatively understudied. However, plants within this genus are well known for their medicinal and ethnopharmacological properties. This study aimed to characteris...

New hydroperoxylated and 20,24-epoxylated dammarane triterpenes from the rot roots of Panax notoginseng

Background: Root rot is a serious destructive disease of Panax notoginseng, a famous cultivated araliaceous herb called Sanqi or Tianqi in Southwest China. Methods: The chemical substances of Sanqi rot roots were explored by chromatographic...

Complementarities of two existing intermediate conservation approaches

The need for integration of ex situ and in situ approaches in conservation of plants has long been recognized. However, ex situ collections have numerous limitations that reduce their utility for conservation, necessitating the introduction...

Assessment of the Nutritional and Medicinal Potential of Tubers from Hairy Stork’s-Bill (<i>Erodium crassifolium</i> L ’Hér), a Wild Plant Species Inhabiting Arid Southeast Mediterranean Regions

Emerging needs for diversifying human diet and to explore novel therapeutic procedures have led to increasing attempts to retrieve traditional nourishments and recruit beneficial wild plant species. Species of the genus Erodium (Geraniaceae...

Development of a Real-Time Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for the Rapid Detection of Olea Europaea Geminivirus

A real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for simple, rapid and efficient detection of the Olea europaea geminivirus (OEGV), a virus recently reported in different olive cultivation areas worldwide. A pre...

Plant nutritional value of aquaculture water produced by feeding Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) alternative protein diets: A lettuce and basil case study

Societal Impact Statement Refining circular multitrophic food production methods, which integrate plant, fish, and insect outputs, is imperative for environmental sustainability. Our findings suggest that the right protein choices in fish f...
