Caesalpinia decapetala extracts as inhibitors of lipid oxidation in beef patties [PDF]
In this study we investigated the effects of Caesalpinia decapetala (CD) extracts on lipid oxidation in ground beef patties. Plant extracts and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were individually added to patties at both 0.1% and 0.5% (w/w) concentrations ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Production of metal nanoparticles by agro-industrial wastes. A green opportunity for nanotechnology [PDF]
The feasibility of producing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using phenolic extracts from agro-industrial wastes as reducing agents was investigated. Phenolic extracts were obtained from bilberry wastes (BW) and spent coffee grounds (SCG) with aqueous ...

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Quantitative Assessment of DESIS Hyperspectral Data for Plant Biodiversity Estimation in Australia [PDF]
Diversity of terrestrial plants plays a key role in maintaining a stable, healthy, and productive ecosystem. Though remote sensing has been seen as a promising and cost-effective proxy for estimating plant diversity, there is a lack of quantitative studies on how confidently plant diversity can be inferred from spaceborne hyperspectral data.

Copper Complexation by Dissolved Organic Matter in arid Soils: A Voltametric Study [PDF]
A voltammetric method was used to estimate the complexing capacity of water extracts from both desert soils sampled at the root zone of creosote and salt cedar plants, and in soils from interspace or background regions where no vegetative influence was ...
