Are silver nanoparticles safe?
Silver is widely
used for its antibacterial
activity
in medical and
consumer products
because of
its broad range
of activity and
lower toxicity
compared to
other bact
e r i c i d e s .
More and more products
use silver as nanoparticles because it
has a better bactericidal activity, and
therefore lower amounts may be applied.
Are these nanoparticles safe for your
health and for the environment? Could
microorganisms become resistant to the
effects of silver?
Safe handling of nanomaterials
This document provides an overview of safe handling practices for nanomaterials. It defines engineered nanoparticles as particles less than 100nm designed and manufactured. Examples given include carbon nanotubes and quantum dots. The document notes that due to their small size, nanoparticles can more easily enter the body and cross barriers like the blood-brain barrier, posing unknown health risks. It recommends approaches like controlling exposures through ventilation, containment, and personal protective equipment. The key challenges are the lack of toxicity data and standardized exposure methods for nanomaterials.
Bacteria
This document provides information about bacteria. It begins by defining bacteria as microscopic single-celled organisms that can be found everywhere and come in a variety of shapes. It then describes how bacteria reproduce through binary fission and have a simple prokaryotic cell structure without a nucleus. The document outlines the process of bacterial pathogenesis where some bacteria are able to infect hosts and cause disease by destroying cells, releasing toxins, or spreading to new hosts. In conclusion, it notes that while some bacteria have useful roles like decomposition, making dairy products, and symbiotic relationships, others can cause harmful diseases in humans like strep throat, tuberculosis, and food poisoning.
POSS compounds (ACES Symposium) Poster Presentation
The document summarizes a research poster presentation on synthesizing antimicrobial agents from polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) compounds. An eight-armed POSS cube was synthesized and used as a backbone to form a POSS-methylimidazolium chloride ligand. This ligand showed antimicrobial activity against bacterial cells. A silver complex was also formed using the same ligand system. Future work will involve synthesizing antimicrobial agents using long chain imidazoles coordinated with selenium and other metals.
Safety of nanotechnology
Nanotechnology has applications in combating cancer and reducing pollution, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions. The NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer is working to ensure responsible development of nanotechnologies for cancer treatment and diagnosis. While nanoparticles exist naturally and as byproducts of human activities, their small size raises health and safety concerns that require careful study. The NCI's Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory evaluates over 125 nanoparticles intended for medical use to better understand their impacts and ensure safety.

Index number
The document provides information on index numbers including:
1) Index numbers measure relative changes in variables like prices, quantities, or values over time by calculating the ratio of current to base values.
2) There are different types of index numbers such as price indexes, quantity indexes, and composite indexes. Methods for constructing indexes include simple aggregative, weighted aggregated, Laspeyres, Paasche, and Fisher's methods.
3) Index numbers have various uses including framing economic policies, revealing trends, and deflating monetary values. Problems in constructing indexes include choosing the base period, averages, commodities, and collecting data.
Index numbers
This document discusses index numbers, which are ratios or averages expressed as percentages that assign a single number to represent trends across multiple statistics over time. Index numbers allow comparisons between two or more time periods by using one as a base period for standard comparison. They are specialized averages that measure relative changes from one time or place to another. Constructing index numbers involves selecting data and items, choosing base periods and weights, and selecting an appropriate formula. Index numbers are useful for policymaking, market analysis, and measuring quantitative changes, but have limitations such as sampling errors and unreliable long-term comparisons. The document also covers types of index numbers and various methods for their construction.

Index number
Index numbers were originally developed to measure changes in price levels and are used as economic barometers. There are different types of index numbers including price indexes that measure wholesale, retail, and cost of living prices, and quantity indexes that track production quantities over time. Special purpose indexes also exist for areas like imports/exports. Index numbers are important for policymaking, studying economic trends, measuring inflation, adjusting national income statistics, and helping various social scientists. However, they have limitations such as being based on samples, potential data biases, misuse, changes in economies over time, and arbitrary assigned weights.

Index number
An index number measures relative changes in price, quantity, or value over time. It can help frame policies, reveal trends, and deflate values. Index numbers are classified by what they measure (price, quantity, value) and their construction method (simple, weighted aggregate, weighted average of price relatives). Common uses include analyzing purchasing power, incomes, and markets. Weighted indexes assign weights to items, with methods including Laspeyres, Paasche, Fisher, and Kelly. Consumer price indexes measure price changes in consumer baskets.
Index Number
- Index numbers measure relative changes in variables like prices, quantities, values over time from a base period. They are used to frame policies, reveal trends, and for deflating purposes.
- There are different methods for constructing index numbers, including simple aggregate methods, simple average of relatives methods, and weighted index numbers that assign weights.
- Common weighted indexes include the Laspeyres method which uses base period weights, the Paasche method which uses current period weights, and the Fisher Ideal Index which takes the geometric mean of the Laspeyres and Paasche.

Levin Microbial Ecology Exemplifies Building Ecology
An overview of Building Ecology connections to microbial ecology and summary of some representative findings from the literature.
Biofilms.pdf
This document discusses sociomicrobiology, which is the study of group behavior in microbes like bacteria, yeast and viruses. It focuses on two key aspects: microbial biofilm formation and cell-cell communication known as quorum sensing. Biofilms are structured communities that form protective layers, making microbes highly resistant to antibiotics and other threats. Quorum sensing allows bacteria to coordinate gene expression and behaviors as their population density increases, enabling pathogenic bacteria to effectively cause infection. Understanding these social behaviors could lead to new treatments for infectious diseases.
Levin building ecology at Sloan Symposium, 2011
This document summarizes a presentation on linking microbial ecology with the indoor environment and building science. It identifies several key factors that can influence the microbial ecology within buildings:
1. Humidity, temperature, ventilation, and the surfaces of building materials are strongly connected to the microbes present indoors.
2. Filtration, cleaning practices, HVAC systems, envelope design, and maintenance are also important building components or processes that have plausible connections to indoor microbes.
3. Additional factors like building location, type, materials, room activities, and light exposure may also impact the indoor microbial ecology but require more research to establish clear connections. Understanding these interactions is important to characterize the complex indoor microbial environment

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
