Application of nano- and micro-sized particles of cattle manure on soybean growth
Background: Cattle manure (CM) is the most common organic fertilizer used by farmers. However, its usually slow decomposition leads to the use of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, experiments on nano- and micro-sized particles of CM were conducted to evaluate the possibility of accelerating its decomposition in soil. Methods: The effects of a sole application of CM in different sizes (nano-, mi...
متن کاملHormesis Effects of Nano- and Micro-sized Copper Oxide
The concerns about the possible risk of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been raised recently. Nano- and micro-sized copper oxide (CO and CONP) are widely used in many industries. In this regard, in-vitro studies have demonstrated that CONP is a toxic compound in different cell lines. Despite their unique properties, NPs possess unexpected toxicity profiling relative to the bulk m...

متن کاملMicro-manipulation of silicate micro-sized particles for biological applications
There are great challenges in biological research to study mechanical or chemical interactions between biological objects and artificial parts, to analyse the biocompatibility of artificial materials and/or to increase knowledge about biological cells. Some interaction studies between cells and artificial objects require to positioning very small objects whose typical size is comparable with ce...
متن کاملToxicity of nano- and micro-sized silver particles in human hepatocyte cell line L02
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) previously classified as antimicrobial agents have been widely used in consumers and industrial products, especially food storage material. Ag NPs used as antimicrobial agents may be found in liver. Thus, examination of the ability of Ag NPs to penetrate the liver is warranted. The aim of the study was to determine the optimal viability assay for using with Ag NPs ...
