Since people spend most of their time in indoor environments, they are continuously exposed to various contaminants that threaten human health. The air quality these settings is therefore a crucial factor maintaining health safety. In order reduce the concentration pollutants and improve quality, photocatalytic oxidation has drawn attention researchers. This study aims provide comprehensive view nanomaterials used common environments. effects parameters like humidity, airflow, deposition...
The material analyzed in this study is probably the most ancient archeological solid residue of cheese ever found to date. sample was collected during Saqqara Cairo University excavations tomb Ptahmes dated XIX dynasty ( El-Aguizy, O. Bulletin de l'Institut Française d'Archéologie Orientale (BIFAO) 2010 , 110 13 - 34 (ref (1) ); Staring, N. Institut Français 2015 114 455 518 (2) )). Our biomolecular proteomic characterization shows that constituting a dairy product obtained by mixing...
Abstract Mass spectrometry-based approaches have been successfully applied for identifying ancient proteins in bones and other tissues. On the contrary, there are relatively few examples of successful recovery identification archeological protein residues from ceramic artifacts; this is because ceramics contain much lower levels which extensively degraded by diagenetic effects. In paper, we report results characterization extracted pottery Maltese site Baħrija, guide-site Baħrija period...
In this study, electrospun scaffolds were fabricated using polycaprolactone (PCL) loaded with varying concentrations of β-carotene (1.2%, 2.4%, and 3.6%) via the electrospinning technique. The process involved melting PCL in acetic acid, followed by incorporation powder under constant stirring. Raman spectroscopy revealed a homogeneous distribution within matrix. However, appeared particulate form, rather than being dissolved blended matrix, result also confirmed thermogravimetric analysis....
We show that a generalized version of the holographic principle can be derived from Hamiltonian description information flow within quantum system maintains separable state. then this entails general gauge invariance. When is realized in an ambient Lorentzian space-time, invariance under Poincaré group immediately achieved. apply pathway to retrieve action gravity. The latter cast à la Wilczek through similar formulation by MacDowell and Mansouri, which involves representation theory Lie...
<title>Abstract</title> The Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karonovo VI human group (KGK VI) reached its maximal extension around 4500 BC, covering a large area comprised between southern Ukraine and northern Greece. Afterward, distribution gradually receded, before vanishing altogether at the end of fifth – early fourth millenniums BC. This study seeks to investigate role individual mobility during this process by performing strontium isotopic analyses on remains found Gumelnița, Romania. It provides...
Over the past decade, more than a thousand new psychoactive substances (NPSs) have emerged worldwide. This rapid proliferation of “designer drugs” poses significant challenges for drug control, forensic analysis, and public health. Artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly been applied to address these in NPS design analysis. review provides comprehensive overview AI methodologies—including deep learning, generative models, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) modeling—and...
In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, surveillance and safety measures indoor Cultural Heritage sites have become a paramount concern due to unique challenges posed by their enclosed environments high visitor volumes. This communication explores integration Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing epidemiological health protocols these culturally significant spaces. AI technologies, including machine learning algorithms Internet Things (IoT) sensors, shown promising potential monitoring air...
The development of analytical research in recent decades, at the edge between chemistry and archaeology, provides new methods for study organic residues that are usually highly sensitive to natural decay.
Abstract The primary objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview the challenges involved in detecting ancient ayahuasca, traditional hallucinogenic drink from Amazon region, which prepared using Banisteriopsis caapi liana and other plants, by utilizing advanced analytical techniques. presence harmine harmaline Andean archaeological findings has led certain authors speculate that may have been source plant responsible for their occurrence. Consequently, utilization can be...
The escalation of the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly increased research into transmission airborne infectious diseases in indoor settings, underscoring urgent necessity for affordable and efficient methods air disinfection. aim present work is development a complete framework based on designed experiments exploring optimizing bioaerosol removal inactivation efficiency novel disinfection device. This device combines aerodynamic effect three-dimensional vortex structure with UV-C...
This study presents a comprehensive multimodal analytical of an Egyptian ritual Bes-vase, the 2nd century BCE employing cutting-edge proteomics, metabolomics, genetics techniques, and synchrotron radiation-based Fourier Transformed Infrared microSpectroscopy (SR µ-FTIR) to characterize organic residues its content. We successfully identified presence various functional, bioactive, psychotropic, medicinal substances, shedding light on diverse components liquid concoction used for practices in...
A graphene-based or carbon-based aerogel is a three-dimensional (3D) solid material in which the carbon atoms are arranged sheet-like nanostructure. In this study, we report synthesis of low-density polymer-modified monoliths by 3D macroassemblies graphene oxide sheets that exhibit significant internal surface areas (982 m2/g) and high electrical conductivity (∼0.1 to 1 × 102 S/cm). Different types materials were prepared obtain single monolithic starting from suspension single-layer (GO)...
Sex and age estimation is one of the most fundamental steps in mortuary studies bioarchaeology. It essential for a deeper understanding ancient societies, has wide applications gender archaeology. The aim this paper to create new reliable protocol unambiguous sex deceased, comparing proteomic analyses, archaeological evidence, anthropological data from Greek cemetery located Reggio Calabria (or Rhegion), as well first approach estimate deceased by Raman spectroscopy Excavations carried out...
Studies on bioaerosol bacterial biodiversity have relevance in both ecological and health contexts, molecular methods, such as 16S rRNA gene-based barcoded sequencing, provide efficient tools for the analysis of airborne communities. Standardized methods sampling DNA are lacking, thus hampering comparison results from studies implementing different devices procedures. Three samplers that use gelatin filtration, swirling aerosol collection, condensation growth tubes collecting at an aeration...
