Background & Aim: The use of herbal extracts as safe and effective factors for eradicating of stores pests has attracted much attention. In this paper, the bio-effects of fumigation and repellent effects of essential oil of Eucalyptus globolus were investigated on red flour beetle. Experimental: In this study, the toxicity, fumigation and repellency contacts were assayed by topical ap...

the effect of geometry and material of the micro/nano particle on contact mechanic for manipulation was studied in this work based on atomic force microscopy. hertz contact model simulation for eph biological micro particle with spherical, cylindrical, and circular crowned roller shape was used to investigate the effect of geometry on contact simulation process in manipulation. then, to validat...

Nickel oxide in the form of nanoparticles (NiO NPs) is extensively used in different industrial branches. In a test on adult zebrafish, the acute toxicity of NiO NPs was shown to be low, however longlasting contact with this compound can lead to its accumulation in the tissues and to increased toxicity. In this work we determined the 30-day toxicity of NiO NPs using a static test for zebrafish ...

Moraxella osloensis is a bacterium that is mutualistically associated with Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, a nematode that has potential for the biocontrol of mollusk pests, especially the slug Deroceras reticulatum. We discovered that purified M. osloensis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) possesses a lethal toxicity to D. reticulatum when administered by injection but no contact or oral toxicity to thi...

background: magnetite (fe3o4) nanoparticles are currently one of the important and acceptable magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications. to use magnetite nanoparticles for bacteria cell separation, the surface of nanoparticles would be modified for immobilizing of nanoparticles on the surface of bacteria. functionalization of magnetite nanoparticles is performed by different surfactant...

Biodiesel is considered a clean and renewable energy source, however it important to know the environmental impacts caused by water-soluble fraction (WSF) of this fuel, in event spill. The objective research was evaluate seawater-soluble biodiesel (B100) compared diesel (S500). A factorial design used carry out experiments WSF's, varying type fuel contact time between oil water (O/W) from 1h 24...

background : the main objective of this research was to study photocatalytic oxidation of phenol in aquatic solutions by using of uv, tio 2 and the combination of them. phenol compounds are widely used in industries and other daily life. highly toxicity and carcinogenicity of these compounds can causal considerable adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystems and human health. methods : the study ...

Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained considerable interests during the last decade due to their excellent antimicrobial activities. Despite their extensive use, the potential toxicity of these nanoparticles and possible mechanisms by which they may induce adverse reactions have not received sufficient attention and no specific biomarker exist to describe and quantify their toxic effects. Na...
