Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), specifically Nisin, grafted onto gold surfaces to prevent biofilm formation on surfaces.
- Researchers used sophisticated techniques like XPS and FT-IR to confirm the successful attachment of Nisin to the surfaces.
- Results indicate that Nisin effectively kills and prevents the adhesion of Gram-positive bacteria, but does not show significant effects on Gram-negative bacteria.
To characterize the anisotropic and viscoelastic behaviors of the skin, we conducted an experimental campaign of suction tests using the CutiScan®CS100 device from Courage and Khazaka electronics. In this data paper, we present the raw acquired data of the tests and their respective treated data. The tests were performed 30 times on the anterior forearm of a 28-year-old Caucasian male at different pressure set-points, ranging from 100 to 500 mbar with an increment of 20 mbar, at ambient temperature in a windowless room.

In this work, a novel flow through set-up was applied to an ultrasonic horn system to investigate the effects of flow on the degradation of phenol. KI dosimetry and sonochemiluminescence (SCL) were also analysed, under the same conditions, to provide comparison of degradation to other SC processes.
