Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on characterizing nanoemulsion formulations of Mirabilis jalapa and their effects on the mortality and physical condition of 3rd instar Spodoptera frugiperda larvae.
  • Using a Completely Randomized Design, researchers applied various formulations and assessed larval mortality, finding a 67% mortality rate 48 hours after treatment with the most effective formulation.
  • Results indicated that M. jalapa nanoemulsions are significantly effective in controlling S. frugiperda, highlighting their potential as an alternative pest management strategy (p-value of 0.016).

This study investigated the capability of honeycomb core structures made of kenaf fibre-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composite. Two types of kenaf fibre were used in this study, these being woven kenaf and non-woven cotton/kenaf. Initially, the corrugated shape panel was manufactured using a hot moulding compression method.

Genistein is a naturally occurring polyphenolic molecule in the isoflavones group which is well known for its neuroprotection. In this review, we summarize the efficacy of genistein in attenuating the effects of memory impairment (MI) in animals. Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were used to find the relevant articles and discuss the effects of genistein in the brain, including its pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, behavioral effects, and some of the potential mechanisms of action on memory in several animal models.

Extended use of GC-FID and GC-MS in oil spill fingerprinting and matching is significantly important for oil classification from the oil spill sources collected from various areas of Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah (East Malaysia). Oil spill fingerprinting from GC-FID and GC-MS coupled with chemometric techniques (discriminant analysis and principal component analysis) is used as a diagnostic tool to classify the types of oil polluting the water. Clustering and discrimination of oil spill compounds in the water from the actual site of oil spill events are divided into four groups viz.
