Obesity, one of the most common nutritional diseases worldwide, can lead to dyslipidemia, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and inflammation. Some drugs have been developed to ameliorate obesity. However, these drugs may cause serious side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for alternative “natural” remedies including propolis. Studie...
The genus Scorzonera has various medicinal values. Species belonging to this genus were traditionally used as drugs or in food. The current study aimed to determine the phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, and biological properties of the tuber, leaf, and flower of Scorzonera undulata extracts, collected from the southwest of Tunisia. P...

Thin films of β-NaGaO2, a precursor material of β-CuGaO2, were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition. The phase and morphology of these films depended on the deposition position, i.e., the target-substrate distance and distance from the central plume axis. Three phases appeared in the films, namely a Na-deficient and stoichiometric β-NaGaO2, amo...
