Beyond antimicrobials: Ecological nano‐strategies for rebalancing dysbiotic oral microbial homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry.

Volatiles in Different Floral Organs, and Effect of Floral Characteristics on Yield of Extract fromBoronia megastigma(Nees) [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 1997
Abstract The relative amounts of volatile compounds in the extract and headspace from each floral organ were assessed in order to identify the main organs for accumulation and emission. The mass of flowers/organs, the number/density of oil glands and yield of volatiles were examined for their relationship with extract yield, in clonal and non-clonal ...
