Biosurfactants offer a green, sustainable approach to many environmental bioremediations, especially for oil contamination. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of biosurfactants in accelerating hydrocarbon removal from mature fine tailings under anaerobic conditions. The bacteria were isolated from mature fine tailings and tested for b ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique of the retina. The thickness of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) obtained from an OCT image is a valuable biomarker for monitoring MS. Since the functional shape (F-shape)-based technique has prove ...

Microwave-assisted synthesis offers several advantages over conventional methods, including shorter reaction times and more efficient heating in systems containing polar solvents such as water or ethanol. These features can be exploited to prepare and modify active photocatalysts for H2-production reactions, allowing precise tuning of composition and fina ...

Singing and vocalization practices are reportedly associated with increased relaxation, better emotional regulation, and enhanced social closeness. Here, we investigate the neural underpinnings of such effects and ask whether they are related to processes linked to the vocalization aspect or are a result of modified breathing patterns. Toning is a form of ...

Background: Multitasking, such as listening while balancing, relies on integrated processing in the sensory, cognitive, and motor systems; systems that often decline with age. Hearing loss is linked to increased risks of both falls and cognitive decline. Improving cognitive processing through exe ...

Modern macrocyclic peptides feature unnatural elements that are used to improve the activity and pharmacokinetic properties. Chemistry beyond peptide synthesis must, however, be employed to introduce such elements. Notably, application of the copper-catalyzed aldehyde-alkyne-amine A3-reaction in ...

Purpose: Cardiolipin is a phospholipid located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is released following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. While cardiolipin has documented effects in several tissues, its impact on skeletal muscle function and mitochondrial respiration remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of e ...

In a context of government cutbacks, non-profit labour-market intermediaries are assuming a more significant role in efforts to combat precarious employment. Yet such organizations are still subject to state funding regimes, regulations, oversight and neoliberal logics. As such, some scholars argue that they constitute "shadow state" spaces. In ...

The widespread use of single-use plastic (SUP) water bottles has raised growing concerns about chronic human exposure to nanoplastics (NPs). This study presents a quantitative assessment of NP accumulation in human tissues resulting from the long-term consumption of SUP water bottles. Using survey-derived consumption data and the Human Exposure and Absorp ...
