Two-dimensional (2D) core/shell nanoplatelets (NPLs) synthesized via the hot-injection method provide excellent thermal and chemical stability for high-temperature doping, where an expanded flexible lattice is required. Here, a thermodynamic approach toward silver doping of these NPLs proposed demonstrated, which previously proved to be challenging due fast self-purification dopants with introd...

The almond is native to Iran and surrounding countries as well Asia. In 2017, world production of almonds was 2.2 million tones, with the United States providing 46% total. According FAO Afghanistan one 10 top producers almonds. study examined growth instability area, production, export consumption in from 2000 2017.

In 2008, an outbreak of human trichinosis associated with ingestion of raw soft-shelled turtles was identified and investigated in Taiwan. The data suggested that patients were likely infected with Trichinella papuae.

Rotavirus morphogenesis involves the budding of subviral particles through the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane of infected cells. During this process, particles acquire the outer capsid proteins and a transient envelope. Previous immunocytochemical and biochemical studies have suggested that a rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein, NS28, encoded by genome segment 10, is a transmembran...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) statistics have reached menacing proportions in India. Appropriate dietary intervention, as part of healthy lifestyle, is imperative to curb further spread of this disease. OBJECTIVES This pre-post intervention study was conducted in New Delhi, India, to investigate the effects of daily consumption of almonds for 24 weeks in T2D subjects, specifically on measu...

Delivery of drugs and nanomedicines to tumors is often heterogeneous insufficient and, thus, limited efficacy. Microbubbles in combination with ultrasound have been found improve delivery tumors, enhancing accumulation penetration. We used a subcutaneous prostate cancer xenograft model mice investigate the effect free nanoparticle-encapsulated cabazitaxel microbubbles lipid shell or nanoparticl...

BACKGROUND Replacing typical American snacks with tree nuts may be an effective way to improve diet quality and compliance with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs). OBJECTIVE To assess and quantify the impact of replacing typical snacks with composite tree nuts or almonds on diet metrics, including empty calories (i.e., added sugars and solid fats), individual fatty acids, m...
