The durability of the finish was also tested after 5 washes and found to remain effective. The aim of the research was to impart antimicrobial properties to cotton using a natural and eco-friendly extract from Solanum Incanum fruit.
IRJET- Review Study on Antimicrobial Finishes on Textiles – Plant Extracts an...IRJET Journal
This document provides a review of research on developing antimicrobial textile finishes from plant extracts. Some key points:
- Plant extracts show potential as natural alternatives to synthetic antimicrobial agents which can be harmful. Many plants contain compounds like phenols and alkaloids that have antimicrobial properties.
- Various extraction and application methods have been studied, including pad-dry-cure, microencapsulation, cross-linking, and plasma treatment. Microencapsulation allows slow release and is more durable.
- Many plant extracts have shown antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including neem, onion, aloe vera, pomegranate, and turmeric.
The document provides guidance on the manufacture of immunological veterinary medicinal products. It discusses several key aspects:
1) Personnel working in these facilities require specific training and protective measures due to the risks posed by handling pathogenic biological agents.
2) Premises must be designed to control risks to both products and the environment, with different containment levels depending on the pathogenicity of the agents. Live agents should be handled in contained areas.
3) Production processes require adherence to validated procedures and in-process controls due to the complex nature and variability of biological processes used. Special consideration is given to starting materials, media, and seed lot/cell bank systems.

Effect of time and proportion of leaf harvest on pest, forage and root yields...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Dearth of knowledge exists regarding the leaf harvest intensity and frequency thresholds that support optimum forage and fresh storage root yields in Sierra Leone. A study was carried out to assess the effects of leaf harvesting time and proportion on Cylas puncticollis infestation, growth and yield of sweet potato in the inland valley swamp and upland ecologies of Njala. Treatment combinations comprised of two varieties ("Kabia" and "Gbanie"), four leaf harvest regimes: 0, 30 60 and 90 days after planting (DAP); and four-leaf harvest intensities (0, 25, 50 and 100%). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data collected included Cylas puncticollis severity on vines and storage roots, root dimensions and numbers, fresh foliage and storage root yields. The results revealed that leaf harvesting twice at 25 and 50% contributed more to optimum forage and storage root yields and related attributes of sweet potatoes compared to other treatments. The present study suggests that good agronomic management of sweet potato that supports optimum forage and storage root yields should be selected to meet the dual purpose for which it is grown. These findings serve as good guide for incorporation of leaf harvesting time, proportion of leaf harvest in germplasm assessment and new population development objectives.

Application of industrial BiotechnologyGhassan Hadi
The document discusses industrial biotechnology and microbial technology. Microbial technology uses microbes to produce products and services of economic value. It involves isolating microbes, screening them for product formation, improving yields, culturing and harvesting products. Microbes are used to produce metabolites, treat waste, control pests and pathogens, and ferment food. They can enhance nutrient availability as biofertilizers. Microbes also recover metals from ores and desulfurize coal. New technologies allow ethanol to be produced from crop residues rather than just grains. Industrial biotechnology and microbial technology have benefits like low substrate input, high output, environmental friendliness, renewability, and increased efficiency.
The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the anti-bacterial, bioactive compounds and anti-oxidant property of fibrous brown marine algae Sargassum wightii. Antimicrobial finish has been imparted to the cotton fabric using extracts of seaweed by microencapsulation using pad-dry-cure method. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated, how this Sargassum wightti acts as antioxidant, and antibacterial properties and it also shows good antiviral and anti-carcinogenic activities. Bioactive compounds are inhibited the growth of microorganisms present in human body. Bioactive compounds were confirmed by means of the spectrum in the GC-MS spectroscopy. Antioxidant activities were evaluated using the DPPH method. The total phenolic content was determined with the folin-ciocalteu method. The methanol fraction of treated fabric had the highest antioxidant activity (42.5+1.21%), because of the phenolic content trap the reactive oxygen species and develops the cells present in the skin. Parallel streak method was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of seaweed treated fabric. The results showed that higher inhibition zone of 40 mm. The treated fabrics are most widely used in a wide range of health care, pharmaceutical and hygienic textiles.
Textiles are indispensable part of human life. Now a days; textile finishes not only enhance the feel and drape of fabrics but can also provide extraordinary hygienic properties like making it antimicrobial in nature. Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years and an impressive number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural sources. Pisidium guajava (Guava) leaf family name is Myrtaceae. Leaf and bark extracts have in vitro antimicrobial activity mostly associated with flavonoids such as Morin glycosides, quercetin and quercetin glycosides. Antimicrobial activity of Pisidium guajava, studied from dried leaves.The chemical nature of the extract was determined and extractions of active substance from the leaves were done by using ethanol. The method of application of this herbal extract on cotton, organic cotton and bamboo fabrics using citric acid as cross-linking agent was processed in 80oC for 15 minutes with pH level 4.5. The antimicrobial activity of the finished cotton, organic cotton and bamboo fabrics based on optimized process parameters was assessed against bacteria that normally exist in the textile materials like Gram positive, Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative, Escherichia coli by paper disc method and also fabrics evaluated objectively.

Physiological Selectivity of Agrochemicals to Predatory Mites of Tetranychus ...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
— The growing of rose (Rosa spp.) in a greenhouse provides favorable conditions for both, the plant and the pest mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), for which chemical control is still used. Consumers' demand has encouraged researches to use less aggressive agricultural practices, making the biological control as a viable option. The objective of the present study was to investigate the physiological selectivity of plant protection products, used on rosebushes for the control of T. urticae and other pests or diseases, to Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) and Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) both predatory mites of T. urticae on rosebush growing in a greenhouse. According to IOBC/WPRS, the residual method of spraying on a glass and leaf surface area was used for the physiological selectivity test of plant protection products for the predatory mites. The obtained results shown that with the exception of the acaricides-insecticide chlorfenapyr all other tested products-fungicides, acaricides and acaricides-insecticide-methiram + pyraclostrobin, thiofanate-methyl, boscalid + kresoxim-methyl, chlorothalonil, propargite, mandipropamid, mefenoxam, difenoconazol, bifenthrin and pyriproxifen, were innocuous (class 1) or only slightly harmful (class 2) to both species. Chlorfenapyr was highly toxic only for N. californicus (class 4), however after five days of its application no toxic residue of the product was detected on the glass surface and so the product has been classified as innocuous (class 1) as well for this predatory mite species after this period.

This document summarizes a study on controlling post-harvest bacterial diseases of tomatoes in Abia State, Nigeria. The study assessed the effects of pre-heat treatments and plant extracts on bacterial soft rot caused by Erwinia carotovora and fruit spot caused by Xanthomonas vesicatoria. Subjecting tomato fruits to 50°C for 10 minutes provided the longest shelf life and was most effective at controlling the diseases. Plant extracts from neem, bitter kola, ginger, black pepper, and nutmeg were also effective at inhibiting bacterial growth in vitro compared to untreated controls. Cold water extracts of neem, ginger, and black pepper inhibited bacterial growth the most.
Multidrug resistant microorganisms are globally becoming a major confrontment because of illogical use of antibiotics and this played a good role in investigation about the antibacterial compounds in plants. Thus, the present study investigate for the antibacterial effect of alcoholic extracts of Curcuma longa L. rhizomes , CommiphoramyrrhaL. gums and Ginkgo biloba L. leaves products against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The plants samples extracted by soxhlet with methanol and fractionation with and four solution ( chloroform, hexane, water and ethyl acetate) were used for investigation about antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. The results showed that methanolic alcohol extract and fractions of C. longa L. rhizomes , C. myrrha L. gums showed biological activity against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus bacteria, but methanolic alcohol extract and fractions of G. biloba L. leaves product didn’t show any activity as antibacterial substance. It can be concluded that the presence of secondary metabolites as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides and saponins in the plants under study would be marked a good anti-bacterial effect.
Degradation of Industrial Fabric Dyes used in Sanganer Area by Endophytic Mic...ijtsrd
Dyes and dyestuffs find use in a wide range of industries but are of primary importance to textile manufacturing. Wastewater from the textile industry can contain a variety of polluting substances including dyes. Increasingly, environmental legislation is being imposed to control the release of dyes, in particular fabric based compounds, into the environment. The ability of microorganisms to decolourise and metabolise dyes has long been known, and the use of bioremediation based technologies for treating textile wastewater has attracted interest. Within this review, we investigate the mechanisms by which diverse categories of microorganisms, such as the white rot fungi and anaerobic bacterial consortia, bring about the degradation of dyestuffs. Rapid industrialization has given rise to various unwanted elements that accumulated in the biosphere up to toxic levels to degrade the natural environment. Scientific developments are considered as key factors for progress of both developing and under developed countries, but unfortunately, most of the industries in these countries do not have proper waste treatment facilities and releasing a large quantity of effluents. A majority of xenobiotics either untreated or partially treated released from industries are mixed up with the natural water bodies and to the soil of the biosphere. Untreated or partially treated textile effluents are highly toxic, as they contain a large number of toxic chemicals and heavy metals. The problem of water pollution due to the discharge of industrial wastewater into natural water bodies was witnessed by western countries in 19th century and also in India after independence Rekha Soni "Degradation of Industrial Fabric Dyes used in Sanganer Area by Endophytic Microbes" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-2 , February 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd38360.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/biological-science/botany/38360/degradation-of-industrial-fabric-dyes-used-in-sanganer-area-by-endophytic-microbes/rekha-soni

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence
