Origanum vulgare L. (Lamiaceae) has been currently known for their interesting antimicrobial activity being regarded as alternative antimicrobial for use is food conservation systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of O. vulgare essential oil in inhibiting the growth of some food-related Aspergillus species (A. flavus, A. parasiticus, A. terreus, A. ochraceus, A. fumigatus and A...

The aim of this study was to investigate antibacterial effects of oregano and thyme essential oils (EOs) on some food-borne bacteria. GC-MS analysis of EOs was performed in order to determine their composition and phenols were predominant constituents. The investigation of the antibacterial effects of EOs was performed on Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Thyphimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, m...

In a composite model of leptons and quarks, composite particles with heavy Majorana particles appear provided that the V-rishon is regarded as a Majorana particle. In this paper, the decay mode of such “Majorana partners” is investigated. It is shown that the life time of Majorana partners are fairly long. Our model suggests that a new mechanism of proton decay is possible, where the X and Y bo...

This study examined five species of the Lamiaceae family, Origanum vulgare L., dictamnus majorana Mentha spicata L. and Lavandula angustifolia one Hypericaceae Hypericum perforatum for their potential to enhance health wellbeing or prevent diseases. An analysis secondary metabolites was performed by mass spectrometry HPLC coupled with diode array detection determine phenolic compounds included ...

We theoretically propose an optical means to detect Majorana fermions in superconducting iron (Fe) chains with a hybrid quantum dot-nanomechanical resonator system driven by two-tone fields, which is very different from the current tunneling spectroscopy experiments with electrical means. Based on the scheme, the phenomenon of Majorana modes induced transparency is demonstrated and a straightfo...

The high prevalence of nosocomial bacterial resistance contributes to significant mortality and morbidity around the world; thus, finding novel antibacterial agents is vital concern. Accordingly, present study attempted synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a green approach. Aqueous leaf extract Origanum majorana was used AgNPs efficiency against multidrug resistant strains detected. Ch...

: The pursuit for detecting the existence of Majorana fermions is a challenging task in condensed matter physics at present. In this work, we theoretically propose a novel nonlinear optical method for probing Majorana fermions in the hybrid semiconductor/superconductor heterostructure. Our proposal is based on a hybrid system constituted by a quantum dot embedded in a nanomechanical resonator. ...
