The southern African Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene hominin record is abundant and exhibits a high taxonomic diversity with three genera represented: Australopithecus, Paranthropus Homo. Hominin fossil variation are often contextualised within other assemblages or modern/extant counterparts. However, the incompleteness of record, sample selection bias taphonomic condition specimens themselves constrain interpretations between species. Thus, species identification nature observed...
In the past decade, ancient protein sequences have emerged as a valuable source of data for deep-time phylogenetic inference. Still, recovery providing novel insights does not exceed 3.7 Ma (Pliocene). Here, we push this boundary back to 21-24 (early Miocene), by retrieving enamel an early-diverging rhinocerotid ( Epiaceratherium sp. - CMNF-59632) from Canadian High Arctic. We recover partial seven proteins (AHSG, ALB, AMBN, AMELX, AMTN, ENAM, MMP20) and over 1000 peptide-spectrum matches,...
The development of metal nanoparticle-based facile colorimetric assays for drugs and insecticides is an emerging area current scientific research. In the present work, polypropylene glycol was used stabilization gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a simple one-pot two-phase process subsequently employed it specific detection cephradine (CPH). characterization prepared PPG-AuNPs conducted through various analytical techniques such as UV-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared...
Lard is defined as animal fat acquired from the adipose tissue of pigs and not permitted for human consumption or external use by certain religions such Islam Judaism. Due to its low-cost availability commercial use, it often mixed with other vegetable oils mistakenly deliberately causes loss consumer trust; hence, detection in food products essential. Consumers tend know authenticity commercially available edible oils. However, are subjected adulteration risks lard, which breaches rights....
