From 2013 to 2021, 112 binucleate <i>Rhizoctonia</i> spp. (BNR) isolates were obtained from the strawberry, tomato, pepper, bean, apple, cherry, meadow grass, and soil previously cropped with strawberries from 16 locations in Serbia. Morphological and molecular analyses (ITS, LSU rDNA, &...

Descrizione completa

Materials derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as MOF-derived oxides retain a highly porous and active structure from the MOF precursor, exhibiting excellent sensing properties. In addition, the tunable nature of MOFs allows the structural and chemical properties of the resulting oxides to b...

Nanoparticles are known to have a high specific surface area, which accounts for an increased probability of their interaction with bacterial cells. Therefore, the application of silver(I) nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their nanocomposites as antimicrobial agents against drug-resistant bacterial strains...

Descrizione completa

The electrolyte flow field plays a pivotal role in determining the electrochemical performance of aqueous AgO-Al batteries. However, traditional flow field structures often suffer from the formation of dead zones, leading to uneven mass transport and side reactions. In this study, a flow field optim...

Descrizione completa

Food contaminants, including harmful microbes, pesticide residues, heavy metals and illegal additives, pose significant public health risks. While traditional detection methods are effective, they are often slow and require complex equipment, which limits their application in real-time monitoring an...

Descrizione completa

Previous investigations devoted to non-spherical nanoparticles for biosensing have primarily addressed two hot topics, namely, finding nanoparticles with the best shape for refractive index sensing properties and the optimization of size parameters. In this study, based on these hot topics, Au-Ag al...
