Development of alpha-cypermethrin resistance and its effect on biological parameters of yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae).

Alpha-cypermethrin interacts with the sodium channel and causes nerve blockage in insects. It is used to manage Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae), a primary vector of dengue worldwide. It not only affects both target and non-target organisms, but overuse of this insecticide increases the chances of resistance development in insect pests.

Synthesis and characterization of an α-FeO/ZnTe heterostructure for photocatalytic degradation of Congo red, methyl orange and methylene blue.

The leading challenge towards environmental protection is untreated textile dyes. Tailoring photocatalytic materials is one of the sustainable remediation strategies for dye treatment. Hematite (α-FeO), due to its favorable visible light active band gap ( 2.

Decellularized human cornea for reconstructing the corneal epithelium and anterior stroma.

In this project, we strived to develop a decellularized human cornea to use as a scaffold for reconstructing the corneal epithelium and anterior stroma. Human cadaver corneas were decellularized by five different methods, including detergent- and nondetergent-based approaches. The success of each method on the removal of cells from the cornea was investigated.
