Role of Nano-fertilizer in Plants Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE)- A mini-review [PDF]
J Gene Engg Bio Res, 5(1), 75-81. 2023, 2023 Over the past half-century, the combination of technology and innovation has been developed to manage the negative impact of synthetic fertilizer on land ecosystems to identify the limitations of sustainability and optimize agricultural systems. The application of nano-fertilizers has achieved considerable interest due to their significant role as ...

Cross-linking of polyesters based on fatty acids [PDF]
European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Wiley-VCH
Verlag, 2019, 121 (11), pp.1900264, 2019 This paper aimed at obtaining cross-linked polymeric materials of biomass origin. For this purpose one-pot polyesterification of methyl ricinoleate and methyl 12-hydroxystearate using titanium isopropoxide as a catalyst has been performed leading to polyesters known as estolides.

Antioxidant capacity is repeatable across years but does not consistently correlate with a marker of peroxidation in a free-living passerine bird [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology B, Springer Verlag, 2019, 189
(2), pp.283-298, 2019 Oxidative stress occurs when reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceed antioxidant defences, which can have deleterious effects on cell function, health and survival. Therefore, organisms are expected to finely regulate pro-oxidant and antioxidant processes.

Alpha-tocopherol inhibits pore formation in the oxidized bilayers [PDF]
, 2016 In biological membranes, alpha-tocopherols ({\alpha}-toc; vitamin E) protect polyunsaturated lipids from free radicals. Although the interactions of {\alpha}-toc with non-oxidized lipid bilayers have been studied, their on oxidized bilayers remain unknown.

Lateral transport of domains in anionic lipid bilayer membranes under DC electric fields: A coarse-grained molecular dynamics study [PDF]
, 2023 Dynamic lateral transport of lipids, proteins, and self-assembled structures in biomembranes plays crucial roles in diverse cellular processes. In this study, we perform a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation on a vesicle composed of a binary mixture of neutral and anionic lipids to investigate the lateral transport of individual lipid ...

A criterion to identify the equilibration time in lipid bilayer simulations [PDF]
Papers in Physics 4, 040005 (2012), 2012 With the aim of establishing a criterion for identifying when a lipid bilayer has reached steady state using the molecular dynamics simulation technique, lipid bilayers of different composition in their liquid crystalline phase were simulated in aqueous solution in presence of CaCl$_2$ as electrolyte, at different concentration levels.

A Lipid-Structured Model of Atherosclerotic Plaque Macrophages with Lipid-Dependent Kinetics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atherosclerotic plaques are fatty growths in artery walls that cause heart attacks and strokes. Plaque formation is orchestrated by macrophages that are recruited to the artery wall to consume and remove blood-derived lipids, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Selective electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide from water oxidation [PDF]
J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2015, 6, 4224-4228, 2015 Water is a life-giving source, fundamental to human existence, yet, over a billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Present techniques for water treatment such as piped, treated water rely on time and resource intensive centralized solutions.

H$_2$O$_2$ within chaos terrain on Europa's leading hemisphere [PDF]
, 2019 Hydrogen peroxide is part of an important radiolytic cycle on Europa and may be a critical source of oxidants to the putative subsurface ocean. The surface geographic distribution of hydrogen peroxide may constrain the processes governing its abundance as well as its potential relevance to the subsurface chemistry.

Effect of cryopreservation on the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes of sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) embryogenic calluses [PDF]
Cryoletters, Volume 23, Number 4, July 2002, pp. 237-244, 2018 In this paper, we investigated if the differences consistently noted in survival and plantlet production between cryopreserved and non-cryopreserved, control sugarcane embryogenic calluses were related to modifications induced during cryopreservation in the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes.
