Chitosan adorned with ZIF-67 on ZIF-8 biocomposite: A potential LED visible light-assisted photocatalyst for wastewater decontamination.

The current investigation has utilized a simple and constructive stratified method to synthesize a binary (Cs/Z-8: chitosan (Cs) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Z-8)) and ternary Cs/Z-8/Z-67 (Z-67: ZIF-67) biocomposites at room temperature. A certain amount of Cs/Z-8 (0.05, 0.

Nanovibrational Stimulation of Mitigates Surface Adhesion by Altering Cell Membrane Potential.

Mechanical forces shape living matter from the macro- to the microscale as both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are force wielders and sensors. However, whereas such forces have been used to control mechanically dependent behaviors in mammalian cells, we lack the same level of understanding in bacteria. Surface adhesion, the initial stages of biofilm formation and surface biofouling, is a mechanically dependent process, which makes it an ideal target for mechano-control.

The effect of escape room clinical evaluation method on satisfaction, learning, and preparedness to practice as interns of nursing students: A quasi-experimental quantitative study.

Background: Clinical evaluation utilizing the escape room game is recognized as a novel method for assessing the team-oriented performance of learners. It is a tool for evaluating teamwork skills in clinical settings, which can boost student motivation and learning. This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical evaluation through escape rooms and feedback provision through the PEARLS (promoting excellence and reflective learning in simulation) approach on pre-internship nursing students' satisfaction, learning, and preparedness to practice as interns.

Bovine and Ovine Teeth as a Substitute for the Human Teeth: An Experimental Study.

Statement Of The Problem: Although various kinds of research have been conducted to compare the physical and chemical properties of dentin and enamel in animal and human samples, proving the ability of animal dentin material as a good substitute for human specimens is always a challenge for experimental studies.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the changes in the dentin microhardness of animal samples are similar to those of human samples or not.

Materials And Method: In this study, sixty single-rooted human, bovine, and ovine teeth (n=20 in each group) were decoronated at CEJ.

Green and environmentally friendly architecture of starch-based ternary magnetic biocomposite (Starch/MIL100/CoFeO): Synthesis and photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline and dye.

The presence of tetracycline and dye as organic contaminants has led to the poisoning of wastewater. The aim of this study is to synthesize a novel biocomposite material by decorating natural starch polymer granules with metal-organic framework (MIL100) and cobalt ferrite magnetic (CoFeO) nanoparticles. The synthesized ternary magnetic biocomposite (Starch/MIL100/CoFeO) was used for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline (TCN) using LED visible light.
