Transmission of Cryphonectria Hypovirus 1 (CHV1) to and In Vitro and In Vivo Testing of Its Potential for Use as Biocontrol Against .

Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) is successful in controlling , the causal agent of chestnut blight, but little is known regarding its transmission to other fungi, for example the European . In this study, CHV1 was transmitted (circa 200,000-800,000 copies/microliter) to seven isolates from infected . Reverse transmission to virus-free (European 74 testers collection) was achieved, although it was less successful (250-55,000 copies/µL) and was dependent on the vegetative compatibility (VC) group.

Burden of vaso-occlusive crisis, its management and impact on quality of life of Indian sickle cell disease patients.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) with vaso-occlusive pain crisis (VOC) significantly impacts patient well-being and often results in extensive healthcare resource utilization. This study assessed the VOC burden, its management and its impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between November 2021 and June 2022, including 1000 SCD patients from high-prevalence states in India.

Breaking the Pt Electron Symmetry and OH Spillover towards PtIr Active Center for Performance Modulation in Direct Ammonia Fuel Cell.

The growing interest in low-temperature direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) arises from the utilization of a carbon-neutral ammonia source; however, DAFCs encounter significant electrode overpotentials due to the substantial energy barrier of the *NH to *NH dehydrogenation, compounded by the facile deactivation by *N on the Pt surface. In this work, a unique catalyst, PtIr@AlOOH/NGr i.e.

Quantifying Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions in the Self-Assembly of Photoresponsive Azobenzene Amphiphiles at the Air-Water Interface.

Amphiphilic azobenzene molecules offer ample scope to design functional supramolecular systems in an aqueous medium that can be controlled by light. Despite their widespread applications in photopharmacology and optoelectronics, the self-assembly pathways and energy landscapes of these systems are not well understood. Here, we report combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and surface manometry studies on a specially designed alkylated, meta-substituted azobenzene derivative to quantify the hydrogen-bonding interactions in the self-assembled monolayers of its photoisomers.

Wodyetia bifurcata (foxtail palm tree) leaves as a super-augmented instantaneous methylene blue remover from simulated water and wastewater.

Wodyetia bifurcata, also known as foxtail palm tree leaves, was tested for highly effective methylene blue (MB) removal from commercial and artificial effluent. BET surface area measurement, FESEM, FTIR, and pH were used to get information on the shape and structure of the particles. Several important factors were used to determine its adsorption activity, including intake concentration, contact duration, and pH level.
