Abstract: Nanoparticle compositions for treating citrus greening disease and other plant diseases include a liquid or gel carrier and metal nanoparticles dispersed therein. The metal nanoparticles can be spherical-shaped and/or coral-shaped. Methods of treating plant diseases include applying a nanoparticle composition to an infected plant part to kill the microbe causing the disease. The method may further include removing an infected plant part, such as a branch, treating the infected plant part with a nanoparticle composition, and grafting the plant part (branch) back onto the plant. The plant may particularly be a citrus tree.
Abstract: A method of fabricating a scaffold for tissue engineering that includes a frame structure including one of poly-D-lactic acid and poly-L-lactic acid and a coating layer formed on a surface of the frame structure and including a lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer. The method includes mixing a first granular porous substance including one of poly-D-lactic acid and poly-L-lactic acid with a second granular porous substance including the lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer to prepare a mixture, and pressurizing and heating the mixture in a mold. In the heating, the mixture is heated to a temperature greater than or equal to the melting point of the lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and less than the melting point of one of poly-D-lactic acid and poly-L-lactic acid.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors and/or complex III inhibitors for controlling undesired fungal pathogens and simultaneously improving the ratio of harmful to beneficial microorganisms in crops and to a method for treating crops or parts of crops for controlling undesired fungal pathogens and simultaneously improving the ratio of harmful to beneficial microorganisms by treating the crops or parts of crops with a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor and/or a complex III inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel cosmetic compositions for artificially tanning the skin, utilizing skin-tanning agents and odor-mitigating materials, such as specifically defined starch materials. The compositions reduce the undesirable odors associated with the reaction between the skin-tanning agents, such as dihydroxyacetone, and the skin (chemically known as the Maillard reaction). The method of using those compositions and of formulating those compositions is also disclosed.
