Examining the Effects of Supplemental Magnesium on Self-Reported Anxiety and Sleep Quality: A Systematic Review.

Self-treatment with vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements has become increasingly common among patients for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Magnesium, in particular, is popular on social media for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. Meanwhile, preclinical studies support associations between magnesium status, sleep quality, and symptoms of anxiety.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Processing and Sr-Doped ZnO/CNT Photocatalyst Decoration of Cotton Fabrics for Self-Cleaning Application.

Nonthermal plasma processing is a chemical-free and environmentally friendly technique to enhance the self-cleaning activity of nanoparticle-coated cotton fabrics. In this research, Sr-doped ZnO/carbon nanotube (CNT) photocatalysts, namely, SZC, SZC, and SZC with different Sr doping concentrations, were synthesized using the sol-gel method and coated on plasma-functionalized fabric to perform the self-cleaning tests. The fabrics were treated with dielectric barrier discharge plasma in an open environment for 3 min to achieve a stable coating of nanoparticles.

Testing of Sr-Doped ZnO/CNT Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Evolution from Water Splitting under Atmospheric Dielectric Barrier Plasma Exposure.

Nonthermal plasma is a well-recognized environmentally advantageous method for producing green fuels. This work used different photocatalysts, including PZO, SZO, and SZC for hydrogen production using an atmospheric argon coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)-based light source. The photocatalysts were produced using a sol-gel route.

Catalytic Hydrogen Evolution from HS Cracking over CrZnS Catalyst in a Cylindrical Single-Layered Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Reactor.

The use of non-thermal plasma technology in producing green fuels is a much-appreciated environmentally friendly approach. In this study, an AlO-supported CrZnS semiconductor catalyst was tested for hydrogen evolution from hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas by using a single-layered dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system. The AlO-supported CrZnS catalyst (x = 0.

Synthesis of new Zn-decorated metal-organic frameworks for enhanced removal of carcinogenic textile dye: equilibrium and kinetic modeling studies.

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of Zn decorated (adipic and terephthalic acid as linkers) piperazine-based metal-organic framework () and their extraction behavior toward the Chicago sky blue (CSB) dye. The formation of Zn-decorated was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, BET surface area analysis and TGA. Adsorption behavior of the synthesized was explored through solid-phase adsorption (batch method) prior to UV-Vis spectrophotometric determination.

Antiviral potential of ivermectin against foot-and-mouth disease virus, serotype O, A and Asia-1.

Each year, foot-and-mouth disease leads to enormous economic losses to the livestock industry. Currently, the killed whole virus is widely using to control FMD. However, vaccination is constrained by lack of or incomplete protection.

Controlled acid catalyzed sol gel for the synthesis of highly active TiO-chitosan nanocomposite and its corresponding photocatalytic activity.

For the synthesis of a highly active TiO-chitosan nanocomposite, pH plays a crucial role towards controlling its morphology, size, crystallinity, thermal stability, and surface adsorption properties. The presence of chitosan (CS) biopolymer facilitates greater sustainability to the photoexcited electrons and holes on the catalysts' surface. The variation of synthesis pH from 2 to 5 resulted in different physico-chemical and photocatalytic properties, whereby a pH of 3 resulted in TiO-chitosan nanocomposite with the highest photocatalytic degradation (above 99 %) of methylene orange (MO) dye.

In-silico identification and characterization of organic and inorganic chemical stress responding genes in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

To study the life processes of all eukaryotes, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a significant model organism. It is also one of the best models to study the responses of genes at transcriptional level. In a living organism, gene expression is changed by chemical stresses.
