The study of binuclear complexes of copper(II) is a very active and highly interesting field due to their significance in bioinorganic chemistry, magneto chemistry, material science, superconductivity and multi electron redox chemistry. Due to the surface-active properties of copper(II) stearate with 2-aminobenzothiazole, the complexes exhibit many applications in agrochemical industries as dispersing agents, foaming and wetting agents. In the present investigation solid complexes of Cu(II) stearate with 2-amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole and 2-amino-6-nitrobenzothiazole have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and their IR, NMR, ESR spectral studies. All the synthesized complexes are coloured and their purity was checked by Thin Layer Chromatography.
Research has shown that the healthcare sector is among the least green sectors and constitutes one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, posing risks to human health. This review discusses the development of a knowledge translation tool that aims to compare a range of interventions that can be applied in hospital settings to reduce the local GHG emissions and associated financial costs. It discusses several interventions that potentially have the most impact on GHG reduction and compares these to interventions that are commonly used in different hospital departments. The authors propose opportunities to advance the implementation of these interventions within hospital operations across many other geographic locations.
It is imperative to classify opportunistic skin pathogens and skin commensals for the Malassezia genus of lipophilic yeasts. Recently, in the eastern and western United States, nine types of bat skins have isolated as new Malassezia species in the subfamily Myotinae. Factually, wild-type Malassezia insulates are typically susceptible to azoles, except for fluconazole, although developed azole resistance in these strains has been related to either alterations or quadruplications of the ERG11 gene. Those remarks have provoked interest in substitute antifungal therapy, such as chlorhexidine, and different plant essential oils. The purposes of this investigation were to assess atopic dermatitis (AD) along with the Malassezia species and the adequacy of its inhibitory effect with different plant essential oils against pathogenic Malassezia isolates. Plants produce essential oils because of physiological stresses, microorganism assaults, and biological variables. Essential oils are complex volatile compounds, integrated normally in various plant parts during the cycle of secondary metabolism. Yeasts of the class Malassezia have been associated with various ailments influencing the human skin, for example, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, Malassezia (Pityrosporum) and pityriasis Versicolor, and—less commonly—with other dermatologic issues, for example, transient acantholytic dermatosis, onychomycosis, and reticulated and confluent papillomatosis. Malassezia is a significant causal factor for seborrheic dermatitis. Studies exploring cell and humoral immune responses explicit to Malassezia species in patients with Malassezia-related infections and healthy controls have commonly not been able to characterize critical contrasts in their resistant reactions. Presently, few medications are accessible to treat this fungal infection. The current examination is expected to enhance the clinical utilization of essential oils; there is an urgent need to conduct further in vivo investigations with large cohorts of patients to confirm the clinical capability of essential oils against Malassezia species.
Big data, Cloud Computing and Data Science are currently trending in organizations across the globe. Big Data refers to technologies and techniques that involve data that is massive, heterogeneous and fast-changing for conventional technologies, skills and infra-structure to address efficiently. Cloud Computing is a paradigm that provides dynamically scalable and virtualized resource as a service over the Internet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
