Degradation of Biodegradable Nonwoven Mulches in the Winter Period.
Polymers (Basel)
August 2024
Department of Textile Design and Management, Faculty of Textile Technology, University of Zagreb, Prilaz Baruna Filipovica 28a, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.
An open field experiment from November 2022 to May 2023 in Croatia, which is characterized by a continental humid climate, evaluated nonwoven mulches made from viscose, jute, and hemp fibres blended with PLA fibres. The blends of viscose and jute fibres (90:10, 80:20, and 70:30 ratios) were produced using mechanical web formation on cards with needle punching for bonding webs. Additionally, hemp fibres were blended with PLA fibres in a ratio of 80:20.

Department of Operative/Restorative Dentistry, Periodontology and Pedodontics, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Munich, Germany.
Background: Many newborn screening programs worldwide have introduced screening for diseases using DNA extracted from dried blood spots (DBS). In Germany, DNA-based assays are currently used to screen for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and sickle cell disease (SCD).
Methods: This study analysed the impact of pre-analytic DNA carry-over in sample preparation on the outcome of DNA-based newborn screening for SCID and SMA and compared the efficacy of rapid extraction versus automated protocols.
Effect of Biodegradable Nonwoven Mulches from Natural and Renewable Sources on Lettuce Cultivation.
Polymers (Basel)
April 2024
Department of Management in Agriculture, Krizevci University of Applied Sciences, Milislava Demerca 1, 48260 Krizevci, Croatia.
Numerous research showed that mulching with conventional agro foils elevates soil temperature and promotes plant growth, but negatively influences soil health and brings environmental concerns. Most of the published research on nonwoven mulches for plant cultivation includes nonwoven fabrics produced by extrusion processes providing nonwoven fabric structures similar to films. A limited number of studies investigate the impact of nonwoven mulches produced by a mechanical process on the cards and bonded by needling on plant cultivation.

The detection of nitazenes in biological fluids is increasingly needed as they are repeatedly reported in intoxication and overdose cases. A simple method for the quantification of low levels of nine nitazene analogs and brorphine in Dried Blood Spots (DBS) was developed and validated. 10 μL of spiked whole blood is deposited on a Capitainer®B card and allowed to dry.

Nationwide Children's Hospital, United States.
Background And Aims: Reliable lead screening methods are necessary to support early identification of lead exposure in children. Sample collection using dried blood spots (DBS) offers advantages compared to traditional venipuncture and capillary collection. Here, we describe and compare three lead DBS inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) methods for lead screening.
