Introduction: The nanofluid is the novelty of nanotechnology to overcome the difficulties of heat transfer in several manufacturing and engineering areas. Fractional calculus has many applications in nearly all fields of science and engineering, which include electrochemistry, dispersion and viscoelasticity. Objectives: This paper focused on the heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid in two vertical parallel plates and presented a co Read More

Background: The present manuscript analyzes the influence of buoyant forces of a conducting time-dependent nanofluid flow through porous moving walls. The medium is also filled with porous materials. In addition to that, uniform heat source and absorption parameters are considered that affect the nanofluid model. Introduction: The model is based on the thermophysical properties of Hamilton-Crosser's nanofluid mod Read More

Background: Non-newtonian fluids, especially shear thinning fluids, have several applications in the polymer industry, food industry, and even everyday life. The viscosity of shear thinning fluids is decreased by two or three orders of magnitude due to the alignment of the molecules in order when the shear rate is increased, and it cannot be ignored in the case of polymer processing and lubrication problems. Objective: So, th Read More

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has sparked great interest in strengthening the immune system, especially by the consumption of widely available natural dietary supplements. Because of this popularity, it was suggested that the sales of these products would grow significantly in the year 2021, especially for those who are unable or unwilling to receive COVID-19 vaccines. Among the many botanicals, Sambucus nigra L. (Elderber Read More

Background: Red mamey is the fruit of P. sapota, a tree found in Mesoamerica and Asia. This fruit is considered a nutraceutical due to its multiple beneficial health including antiamyloidogenic activity and potential anti-tumorigenic property. Red mamey contain a variety of carotenoids including novel ketocarotenoids such as sapotexanthin and cryptocapsin. A ketocarotenoid is a chemical compound with a carbonyl group present Read More

Background: The fruit pulp decoction of Crescentia cujete, commonly known as calabash, is traditionally used for the treatment of several respiratory diseases and is available as syrup formulations. Unfortunately, there is no detailed investigation on the analytical methods for warranting the quality of these products. Aims and objectives: To develop and validate an appropriate analytical method for the simultan Read More

Background: One of the main problems that fruit health has gone through in recent years is the problematic eradication of their fungal pathogens during crops or the post-harvest stage. This concerns the whole world because it represents huge production losses, fruit export restrictions, and consumer distrust. Consequently, new alternatives are sought to avoid the increasing use of fungicides that cause important damage to Read More

The enhanced applications of Schiff bases metal complexes of amino acid derivatives have captured the attention of researchers for the synthesis of leucine derivatives of Schiff bases metal complexes. Amino acids are considered to be essential part of food supplements as well as derivatives of Schiff bases in coordination chemistry due to their donor ability. The leucine derivatives Schiff bases ligand have been synthesized by Read More

Oxalis corniculata (Oxalidaceae) is a small decumbent and delicate appearing medicinal herb flourishing in warm temperate and tropical domains such as Pakistan and India. Main bioactive chemical constituents of Oxalis plant include several alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, and phlobatannins, along with steroids. Due to its polyphenolic, glycosides and flavonoid profile, it is proved to be protective in Read More

Background: Fagonia arabica, belonging to family Zygophyllaceae, is a medicinal plant widely distributed in the desert areas of the world, including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India and South Africa. The present review aims to explore the published information on the traditional uses, ethnobotanical knowledge, phytochemistry and various biological activities like antioxidant, antimicrobial, thrombolytic activities and anticoagulant effec Read More

Introduction: Bacterial resistance to multiple drugs is increasing at an alarming rate in the current era and nanotechnology is one of the effective and novel approaches to overcome drug resistance. Methods: Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have stronger antibacterial activity and are regarded as bio-safe nanomaterial. The aim of the present study is to synthesize the ZnO NPs using Aloe vera leaves extract and to inve Read More

Background: The presence of biofilm formation exoU gene is a significant challenge to infection control management in hospitals and exposure by Pseudomonas aeruginosa may lead to further spread and development of antimicrobial resistance. Methods: Out of 227 samples, 40 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from patients attending public hospitals (Rizgary, Teaching hospital, Laboratory center, Raparin, Read More

Background: Bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) are the main causes of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). This research aims to investigate the isolation of etiologic agents from patients with UTIs. In addition, it tries to investigate the incidence of ESBL genes in an etiologic agent. Methods: This study included 1,000 positive growth isolates. Accordingly, the predominant pathogens associ Read More

Aims: The aim of the study is to develop advanced antibacterial agents as nanoparticles instead of antibiotics due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of causing many diseases, including serious bacterial pneumonia. There is a need for an efficient antibacterial agent to kill these pathogens. Objective: The objective of the study is the synthesis of advanced an Read More
