Electrospinning, a technique for creating fabric materials from polymer solutions, is widely used in various fields, including biomedicine. The unique properties of electrospun fibrous membranes, such as large surface area, compositional versatility, and customizable porous structure, make them ideal advanced biomedical applications like tissue engineering wound healing. By considering the high biocompatibility well-known regenerative potential polylactic acid (PLA) chitosan (CH), well...
This study addresses the need for enhanced antimicrobial properties of electrospun membranes, either through surface modifications or incorporation agents, which are crucial improved clinical outcomes. In this context, chitosan—a biopolymer lauded its biocompatibility and extracellular matrix-mimicking properties—emerges as an excellent candidate tissue regeneration. However, fabricating chitosan nanofibers via electrospinning often challenges preservation their structural integrity....
Snow water pollution, especially from heavy metals, is a growing global environmental concern, as urbanization and industrial activities increasingly contribute to the contamination of precipitation. Snow, acting natural filter, accumulates atmospheric pollutants, which are subsequently released during snowmelt, entering stormwater systems surface bodies. This issue has been observed across Europe, North America, other industrialized regions, where metals such nickel (Ni) copper (Cu)...
The economic significance of honey production is crucial; therefore, modern and efficient methods authentication are needed. During the last decade, various data processing a combination several instrumental have been increasingly used in food analysis. In this study, chemical composition monofloral buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), clover (Trifolium repens), heather (Calluna vulgaris), linden (Tilia cordata), rapeseed (Brassica napus), willow (Salix cinerea), polyfloral samples Latvian...
Vaccinium genus berries—wild bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and cultivated highbush blueberries corymbosum L.)—are consumed worldwide, their consumption has a trend of stable increase. Thus, considering wide use in ethnomedicine, for juice jam production, as functional food, well preparations extracts which have application potential pharmaceutical cosmetics industries, studies regarding the composition these berries are special importance. The aim this study is to characterise...
Honey is of scientific interest mainly due to its health-promoting and antibacterial properties, which are also associated with floral origins. However, the methods for confirming honey origins quite limited require improvements. One method suggested in search a multi-method approach evaluating Latvian inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). This study investigated multi-element profile 83 samples well-specified The main findings included using Ba, Ca, Cs, Fe, Rb as indicator...
The data set provided in this article consist of two repeated sets chemical elements concentrations snow samples. samples were collected Jelgava city at December 15th with 5 day exposition time. Snow 59 monitoring points and one sample rural area point as control. melted, acidified HNO3 analysed ICP-MS. Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Chrome (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As), Molybdenum (Mo), Cadmium (Cd), Barium (Ba), Tungsten (W), Lead (Pb)....
Fast growing tree species such as Populus spp. in short rotation woody crop (SRWC) systems could be an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach to ensure sustainable biomass production mitigate the negative impacts on environment caused by more intensive management aimed promote additional increment. Knowledge variation of major biologically important elements' toxic heavy metals' occurrence fertilised hybrid aspen rings marginal land may have relevant implications for practice...
A balance between forest growth and deforestation must be maintained to ensure sustainable wood production. Faster increases the economic benefit achieve faster it should provided with nutrients from which one of most important is nitrogen. In this study, nitrogen isotope ratio elemental concentrations were determined in samples pine needles, collected plots where nitrogen-containing soil improver (arginine phosphate) was used, as well without additional input. The aim study evaluate effect...
In this study, the focus was on evaluating effects of initial treatment wood ash and sewage sludge hybrid alder clones’ aboveground biomass elemental content. To measure element concentrations in tree rings, laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) utilized, which is a valuable tool for dendrochemistry research, albeit with some challenges accurate quantification. One important aspect study development comparison different “in-house” matrix-matched standards...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not only brought considerable and permanent changes to economies healthcare systems, but it also greatly changed the habits of almost entire society. During lockdowns, people were forced stay in their dwellings, which served as a catalyst for initiation survey on estimation metallic element content residential indoor dust different parts Latvia. This article presents study results obtained through analysis collected samples from 46 both...
The periplasmic lipoprotein BB 0365 of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi is expressed throughout mammalian infection and essential for all phases infection; its function, however, remains unknown. In current study, our structural analysis revealed same fold as that found in NqrC RnfG subunits NADH :quinone ferredoxin: NAD + sodium‐translocating oxidoreductase complexes, which points to a potential role component sodium pump. Additionally, coordinated Zn 2+ by His51, His55, His140...
Abstract The concentration of nitrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere is about 78%, but most plants are not able to acquire it directly from atmosphere. One common ways for binding atmospheric development an efficient symbiotic system between legumes and rhizobia. aim this study was compare how different rhizobia symbiosis systems affect concentrations nutrients other elements soya faba beans. Seeds were inoculated with a preparation just before sowing. Plant samples collected at flowering stage...
