Fruit quality retention and shelf-life extension of papaya through organic coating.

Papaya ( L.) is a climacteric fruit which lose quality and shelf life quickly due to physiological decay and microbial infection after harvest. The study was conducted to evaluate newly applied clybio formulation (0.

Synthesis of Lead(II) Carbonate-Containing Nanoparticles Using Ultrasonication or Microwave Irradiation.

We report on the synthesis of lead(II) carbonate-containing nanoparticles using the polyol process under high-energy ultrasound or microwave irradiation as alternate energization methods. Five carbonate source precursors are used in the reaction, and the precipitation reactions generate four different crystal products, depending on the precursor. More alkaline precursors produce the hydroxy-carbonate structures (abellaite, or its potassium analog, and hydrocerussite), while the less alkaline precursors produce the simple carbonate structure (cerussite).

Minimally Invasive Approaches to Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Repair: Current Strategies and a Novel Technique.

Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks can be caused by tears in the dura and are challenging to treat. Traditional methods of treating spinal CSF leakage include nonsurgical management, epidural blood patches (EBP), and direct surgical repair. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is rapidly progressing within neurosurgery due to its advantages for patient safety and comfort.
