Unlabelled: For the past few years, the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) and other metal oxide nanoparticles has been carried out using plant tissues, extracts, and other plant parts. The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles has many advantages over other processes, and the primary areas of application are drug delivery, food additives, and surface coatings. The use of nanoparticles as an alternative antimicrobial agent in the health and biomedical sectors has increased significantly in recent years.

The neurophysiological mechanisms supporting brain maturation are fundamental to attention and memory capacity across the lifespan. Human brain regions develop at different rates, with many regions developing into the third and fourth decades of life. Here, in this preregistered study (https://osf.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study analyzed EEG data from participants learning an artificial language, comparing those who slept for 8 hours to those who stayed awake, finding sleep improved understanding of sequence-based word order rules.
  • * Results indicated that sleep enhanced memory consolidation and retrieval related to language, showing a link between brain activity during sleep and wakefulness through specific neural oscillations.

The bottlenose dolphin is a widely distributed species found in temperate waters, including the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The Black Sea population is recognized as a distinct subspecies, , due to genetic and morphological differences. This study analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences of 73 bottlenose dolphin samples collected between 1999 and 2016 along the Turkish Black Sea coast, Turkish Straits System (TSS), Aegean, and Mediterranean Seas revealing 14 haplotypes, eight of which are reported here for the first time.

Article Synopsis
  • The Black Sea, a semi-enclosed inland sea, features anoxic deep waters and is home to various marine mammals, including local subspecies of dolphins and harbour porpoises.
  • Research teams from Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Türkiye, and Ukraine deployed F-PODs between September 2020 and October 2022 to study the acoustic activity of harbour porpoises, uncovering strong seasonal and diel patterns across different regions.
  • Findings indicated that porpoises in the southeastern Black Sea showed increased acoustic activity during the spring, aligning with the seasonal migration of anchovies, while western and northwestern porpoises demonstrated distinct bimodal and daylight activity patterns linked to the feeding habits of sprat.
