0314 Biofilms in Chronic Wounds: Current Research and Future Direction ABSTRACT Chronic wounds continue to be a significant healthcare problem. Although myriad factors have been implicated in impaired wound healing‚ recent research has focused on the role of matrix-based bacterial communities called biofilms that are often associated with chronic wounds. Various in vitro and in vivo models have been developed to study the role of biofilms in non-healing wounds. Basic science and clinical

Over the past half century‚ humans have used natural products in the forms of herbal (traditional) medicines to treat several diseases. Natural products are secondary metabolites of living organisms including plants‚ animals‚ marine invertebrates‚ and microorganisms; these living organisms have‚ through changes or adaptations‚ million years of evolution in order to survive and to keep their species alive as long as possible. It has played the significant roles in human health and became the major

TiO2 in Road Pavement Reduces NOx Abstract: The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that titanium dioxide (TiO2) can function as a photo catalytic compound when used in the preparation of warm-mix asphalt (WMA). The proposed asphalt mixture would combine the benefits of WMA such as reduced energy consumption and emission during production with the photo catalytic properties of TiO2 to trap and degrade organic and inorganic particles in the air. Two application methods were evaluated

NANOTECHNOLOGY 1. ABSTRACT: Nanotechnology as the name suggests is derived from two words-nano meaning small and technology meaning the science and engineering so it may be defined as the science and engineering at scale of atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology involves materials so small (1 to 100 nanometers in size) that they exhibit unique properties. The goal of nanotechnology research is to understand unique properties of nanosized particles and use that knowledge to create new‚ high performance
