Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1740-1751, April 2025.
Electrolyzed water treatments could have promising applications in the grapevine nursery process to prevent or reduce infections caused by fungal trunk pathogens on grapevine propagation material. Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries.

Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication [PDF]

, 2011
Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions ...

Hybrid Emulsion‐Dispersion (HED) Polymerization Enables One‐Pot Synthesis of Functional Janus Nanoparticles

Small, EarlyView.
A hybrid emulsion‐dispersion (HED) polymerization strategy enables one‐pot synthesis of functional Janus nanoparticles without seed preparation or multistep processing. Controlled morphology and surface stratification produce rechargeable antimicrobial coatings with durable activity. HED provides a simple and scalable route toward functional asymmetric

Integrated Capsaicin‐Functionalized Superhydrophobic Photothermal Coating for Sustainable Antifouling Control at the Air‐Seawater Interface

Small, EarlyView.
An integrated capsaicin‐functionalized superhydrophobic photothermal coating combines covalently immobilized bioactive functionality and Cassie‐state anti‐adhesion with CNT‐enabled solar heating. This dual‐mode strategy passively suppresses fouling in the dark and promotes photothermal inactivation and detachment under sunlight, delivering broad ...

The 5T Paradox of Triclosan: From Toiletries to Toxic Trash, a Growing Threat to Humanity

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) persists as a contaminant of concern in the Anthropocene, despite regulatory actions. Environmental dissemination continues through wastewater effluents, biosolid application, and improper disposal practices. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence regarding triclosan's environmental fate, transformation pathways ...

Oilfield Microbiology: Effective Evaluation of Biocide Chemicals

, 2017
"Kills 99.9% of bacteria". Sounds impressive. Consumers will have seen this claim on supermarket shelves on all kinds of household biocide chemicals such as hand soaps and detergents. In reality, what does this actually mean? Is a kill target of 99.9% an

Effect of inhibitors on Zygophyllum dumosum plant litter decomposition

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2010
The contribution of soil fauna to decomposition processes was studied by elimination of specific biotic elements using chemical inhibitors. Changes in overall activity of the microbial community were studied in Zygophyllum dumosum leaves treated with the

Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,
