This paper presents the effect of environmentally friendly additives on selected parameters and microbial degradation of Marine Diesel Oil (MDO). Microbiological contamination is a serious problem in MDO and other petroleum products. For this reason, it was decided to investigate the effects of environmentally friendly additives such as silver solution and colloidal nanosilver, as well as effective liquid microorganisms and ceramic tubes with different percentages of them in diesel oil (MDO) on its selected parameters and inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth.

Transition metal based optical limiting materials have garnered significant attention due their crucial role in protecting sensitive optical system from high intense laser damage. Transition metal molybdates exhibits nonlinear optical (NLO) response, which attenuate highly intense light by transmitting light of desired intensity. Herein we report Silver molybdate (AgMoO) nanostructures doped with erbium (Er) ions were successfully synthesized by simple co-precipitation technique.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a malignancy highly prevalent in East and Southeast Asia, is primarily treated with radiotherapy (RT). However, hypoxia-induced radioresistance presents a significant challenge. Nanozymes, nanomaterials with catalase-like activity, have emerged as a promising strategy for radiosensitization by converting elevated hydrogen peroxide in the tumor microenvironment into oxygen.
