Paint layer was stripped from the 2024 aluminium alloy aircraft skin by either 1000 grit sandpaper or laser with 150 ps pulse width while the laser paint stripping (LPS) process was recorded by a high-speed camera. The surface and cross-section morphologies, chemical compositions and chemical valences of obtained the paint stripping samples were also characterise. The corrosion resistance was determined by the Potentiodynamic Polarization Curve (PPC). On mechanical paint stripping (MPS) samples, a large amount of scratches remained. Surface roughness increased and the oxide film was removed completely. The trace of the laser scan was observable on the surface of LPS samples. Recrystallisation occurred on the LPS surface and eventually formed arrayed micro and sub-micro structures. The oxide film is mainly composed of AlO with a thickness about 2.10 µm. The corrosion current density of mechanical and LPS samples are 3.66 ×10 mA·cm and 6.66×10 mA·cm, respectively. Comparing to MPS which removed all the oxide film and damaged the substrate metal, LPS only damaged the oxide film mildly without damaging metal substrate. The remaining oxide film contributes to a higher corrosion resistance of the LPS sample.

TEMPO-CNF film modified by two-dimension transition metal MXene has certain antibacterial properties. However, the problem of long-lasting stability greatly restricts the feasibility of long-term use of the composite film. Here, we introduced polyaniline (PANI) as a modifying molecule, which was electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the MXene nanosheets to prevent its self-stacking and delay its oxidation.

The limited solubility, rapid metabolism, and poor bioavailability of curcumin restrict its application. In this study, we synthesized chickpea protein isolate (CPI)-citrus pectin (CP) conjugates to prepare an emulsion delivery system that enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin. The CPI-CP emulsion achieved a curcumin encapsulation efficiency of 86.

This research addresses the study of the combined effect of two abiotic treatments, a thermo-oxidative treatment followed by a photo-oxidative treatment with ultraviolet light, on the physicochemical properties of commercially available low-density polyethylene films with an oxo-degradant additive (OXOLDPE) and without (LDPE). The change in the oxidized film properties was characterized using FTIR, XRD, TGA, GPC, and SEM analytical techniques. The results indicated that the increment in carbonyl index (CI) and crystallinity percentage (X) was higher for those films that received the combined oxidative treatments compared with those that received only one of them, thermo- or photo-oxidative treatment.

: This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of combined 5% lifitegrast (LF) and tocopherol (TCP) eye drops in a murine experimental dry eye (EDE) model. Female C57BL/6 were divided into seven groups: untreated controls, EDE control, EDE + 0.05% cyclosporin A (CsA), EDE + tocopherol (TCP), EDE + 5% LF, EDE + 5% LF + TCP (once daily), and EDE + 5% LF + TCP (twice daily).

(1) Background: Surra is a debilitating disease of wild and domestic animals caused by (), resulting in significant mortality and production losses in the affected animals. This study is the first to assess the genetic relationships of in naturally affected buffaloes from Multan district, Pakistan, using ITS-1 primers and evaluating the effects of parasitemia and oxidative stress on DNA damage and hematobiochemical changes in infected buffaloes. (2) Methods: Blood samples were collected from 167 buffaloes using a multi-stage cluster sampling strategy, and trypomastigote identification was performed through microscopy and PCR targeting RoTat 1.
