This study was designed to determine whether nano-sized ZnO has the potential to cause acute cutaneous irritation using cultured HaCaT keratinocytes and a human skin equivalent as in vitro models, compared to non-nanomaterials.Commercial nano ZnO with different sizes (50 nm and 24" Double Wall Oven 100 nm) was characterized by dynamic light scatter
The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing: What is New and What are the Implications for Provider and User Countries and the Scientific Community?
In culmination of the efforts by the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) to adopt an international regime to regulate access and benefit sharing, the Nagoya Protocol was adopted at the COP 10 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on 29 October 2010.The preceding negotiations aimed to produce a legal tool or regime tha
Mechanism of microbiologically influenced corrosion of X65 steel in seawater containing sulfate-reducing bacteria and iron-oxidizing bacteria
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and iron-oxidizing bacteria (IOB) are one of the typical representatives of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, which can form a synergistic community (mixed species biofilm) on the surface of material.In this work, the corrosion behavior of X65 steel in seawater containing SRB and IOB Red Sonja was investigated with ele
