Time-resolved optical spectroscopies are emerging as a go-to technique for non-destructive testing of nanomaterials. Inspecting the thermal and mechanical properties of a mesoscale device requires achieving delay times beyond the ns timescale in a nanoscopy setup, potentially in a vibration polluted environment. These requirements constitute a majo...

Cronobacter sakazakii (Cz) infections linked with powdered milk/flour (PMF) are on the increase in recent times. The current study aimed at assessing worldwide and regional prevalence of Cz in PMF. Cz-PMF-directed data were conscientiously mined in four mega-databases via topic-field driven PRISMA protocol without any restriction. Bivariate analysi...
Ticks are known vectors of various pathogens, including bacteria, parasites and viruses, that impact both animal and human health. Improving knowledge of the distribution of tick-borne pathogens, combined with their early detection in ticks, are essential steps to fight against tick-borne diseases and mitigate their impacts. Here we give an overvie...
PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems are often subjected to operational faults which negatively affect their performance. Corresponding to different types and natures, such faults prevent the PV systems from achieving their nominal power output and attaining the required level of energy production. Regarding the operational optimization of PV systems, this pa...

The present study reviewed the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and the evaluation of virus infectivity in feces and environmental matrices. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in feces and wastewater samples, reported in several studies, has generated interest and concern regarding the possible fecal-oral route of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. To date, the pre...

The possibility of microbial life beyond Earth presents a fundamental question in astrobiology. Given the likelihood that any extra-terrestrial life will be microbial in nature, the development of sensitive and specific confirmatory tests is crucial for the identification of potential habitats for life. Here, we describe a novel methodology for the...

Microplastics (MPs) have become increasingly serious global problems due to their wide distribution and complicated impacts on living organisms. To obtain a comprehensive overview of the latest research progress on MPs, we conducted a bibliometric analysis combined with a literature review. The results showed that the number of studies on MPs has g...

Hypericum perforatum L. (Clusiaceae), commonly known as St. John's wort, has a rich historical background as one of the oldest and most widely studied herbal medicines. Hyperforin is the main antidepressant active ingredient of St. John's wort. In recent years, hyperforin has attached increasing attention due to its multiple pharmacological activit...
peer reviewed / Nitrite (NO2−) is widely present in meat products as a vital food preservative, while excessive nitrite is a serious carcinogen to human beings, developing a sensitive and selective nitrite detection method is of great significance for food safety. Herein, a novel luminescent metal organic framework (LMOF) (Rh6G@MOF-5) is prepared t...
