The applicability of Origanum majorana-Capped Silver nanoparticles synthesis for removing Ni (II) ions from aqueous solutions has been reported. This novel material was characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The influence of nanoparticle dosage, pH of the sample solution, individual ions concentration, temperature, contact time between the sample and the adsorbent wer...

(+)-cis-Sabinene hydrate and (+)-trans-sabinene hydrate are the main monoterpenes found in marjoram (Origanum majorana), but can also be found in other Origanum species as well, as in e.g. Melaleuca alternifolia. The synthesis of sabinene hydrate in marjoram (Origanum majorana) is performed by sabinene hydrate synthase. It is claimed, that both, (+)-cis- and (+)-trans-sabinene hydrate are produ...

We study a new type of three-dimensional topological superconductor that exhibits Majorana zero modes (MZM) protected by a magnetic group symmetry, a combined antiunitary symmetry composed of a mirror reflection and time reversal. This new symmetry enhances the noninteracting topological classification of a superconducting vortex from Z2 to Z, indicating that multiple MZMs can coexist at the en...

In-vitro microbicidal activity of the methanol extract of Origanum majorana L. was tested against seven fungi (Fusarium solani, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, A. parasiticus, Rhizopus oryzae, Rhizoctonia otyzae-sativae and Altemaria brassicicola) and six bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, Escherichia coil, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus). The m...

objectives due to the known anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic effects of origanum majorana (om), this study was conducted to survey its effects on oxidative stress and histopathology of renal tissue among diabetic rats. materials and methods in this experimental investigation, 32 male rats, weighing 200 - 250 g, were divided into four groups: 1: control, 2: control receiving treatment with om, 3: ...

the aim of our work was to compare cytotoxic and membrane-damaging effects of o. majorana l. essential oil and linalool on hep g2 and to investigate their possible protective (antioxidant) effects against h2o2 induced membrane damage. the oils were investigated by gc and gc-ms and antioxidant activity was evaluated by dpph and -carotene–linoleic acid assays. assessment of cell viability was ma...

Green-Schwarz action of Type IIB string on AdS3 × S is constructed via coset superspace approach. The construction relies exclusively on symplectically Majorana-Weyl spinor formalism, thus permitting it easier to prove κ-symmetry for on-shell Type IIB supergravity backgrounds. 1 Work supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy under Grant No. DE-FG02-90-ER40542, KOSEF Interdisciplinary R...

Majorana fermion (MF) excitations in solid state system have non-Abelian statistics which is essential for topological quantum computation. Previous proposals to realize MF, however, generally requires fine-tuning of parameters. Here we explore a platform which avoids the fine-tuning problem, namely a ferromagnetic chain deposited on the surface of a spin-orbit coupled s-wave superconductor. We...

Genus Origanum is an aromatic plant used in folk medicine and as a culinary herb, whose composition of volatile compounds is influenced by the type of species and geographical locations. This research evaluates the effect of altitude on the composition of volatile compounds and the contents of carvacrol and thymol of Origanum x majoricum Cambess and Origanum majorana L. fi...
