Silver Nanoparticles Suppress Apple Fire Blight: Antibacterial Activity, Reduced Carbohydrate-Containing EPS Content, and Altered Host Antioxidant Responses

The present study evaluated the phytoprotective activity of silver nanoparticles stabilized with sodium amphopolycarboxyglycinate (AgNPs-APCG) against apple fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora. A highly colloidally stable AgNPs-APCG dis...

Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite-Ag Composite as Antimicrobial Agent

Innovative and improved antimicrobial agents by nanotechnology are developed to control and mitigation of resistant microorganisms. Nanoparticles of metals or oxide metals be able to be toxic to bacteria, demonstrating biocidal behaviors at...

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the study, production and controlled manipulation of materials with a grain size < 100 nm. At this level, the laws of classical mechanics fall away and those of quantum mechanics take over, resulting in unique behaviour of...

Larvicidal efficacy of green synthesized silver nanoparticles using Coleus aromaticus and Wrightia tinctoria against Aedes aegypti

Mosquitoes transmit a number of serious diseases, including brain fever, chikungunya, dengue fever, filariasis, hemorrhagic fever, Japanese encephalitis, malaria, dengue, and Zika. Whereas the synthetic chemical insecticides are commonly us...

On Some Rare Coins from the Khwarezm Hoard of 13th Century

Two silver dirhams of Khwarezm, dated to 670 AH/1271AD, with an unusual tamga are analyzed in the article. The coins come from a hoard located in the territory of Turkmenistan, the exact place of discovery being unknown. On both coins under...
