The main objective of the work is the formulation and evaluation of a natural herbal face mask for rejuvenation and glowing skin from locally available ingredients. Citrus aurantium, Lycopersicon esculentum, Santalum album, Prunus dulcis, Rose petals, Camellia sinensis leaves were procured from the local market and were dried, powdered, then passed through sieve no-100, mixed geometrically, and packed in an airtight container for converting into unique formula. The distinguishing microscopically characters of individual powders were noted, and quantitative measurements were taken. The powder had passable flow property which is suitable for a face mask. The particle size of the powder was found to be 20 -25µm. Herbal face mask is used to stimulate blood circulation, rejuvenates the muscles and help to maintain the elasticity of the skin and remove dirt from skin pores and provide glow and flawless skin. The non-toxic nature reduced allergic reactions and easy availability of herbs making them acceptable and useful for users.

La cáscara del fruto del almendro (Prunus dulcis L.) es un residuo orgánico de la industria de los frutos secos, con mínima utilización en los países mediterráneos. Con el propósito de utilizar este material como medio de cultivo para hortalizas, se estudió el efecto del tiempo de uso como sustrato en función de sus propiedades físicas y químicas. Los experimentos se hicieron en invernadero tipo parral. El tiempo de uso de la cáscara de almendra como sustrato, estuvo determinado por tres ciclos de tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) y dos de melón (Cucumis melo L.) de 165 y 100 d respectivamente, cultivados en sacos de 25 L. Para el análisis del sustrato se tomaron muestras de tres sacos de los sustratos reutilizados, por cada ciclo de cultivo. Durante los primeros 165 d de uso, el porcentaje en peso de partículas medianas (de 0.125 a 2 mm) disminuyó, mientras que las gruesas (de 4 a 8 mm) aumentaron. Hasta los 430 d de uso, tanto las partículas finas (menores a 0.125 mm) como las muy gruesas (8-16 mm) se incrementaron. A través del tiempo todas las propiedades físicas variaron significativamente. La densidad aparente disminuyó en 0.28 g cm-3, mientras que el espacio poroso total aumentó en 27 %. La mojabilidad y la contracción aumentaron más de 100 %, de acuerdo con el intervalo óptimo. Las relaciones aire-agua también se modificaron y fue a los 430 d de uso cuando la mayoría de sus valores se ubicaron en el óptimo. Los valores de las propiedades físicas y químicas fueron mejores a través del tiempo y se ubicaron en el intervalo óptimo, de modo que dicho sustrato se puede utilizar hasta 695 d.

Barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacaea) is an indigenous under utilized millet variety of south India with bounty of health benefits due to the abundance of dietary fiber antioxidant and minerals like iron. This gluten free wonder millet can be a healthy alternate dietary source for diabetic, obesity and CVD patients. Scientific evidence based studies on nutritional quality of this millet both in polished and unpolished form is less. The current study aims at “Evaluation of nutritional and nutraceutical content of polished and unpolished barnyard millet”. Both polished and unpolished barnyard millets were procured from local market, cleaned to remove dirt, dust and stone. The cleaned millets were dried powdered and sieved using 60 mesh sieves (250 Micron). The powdered millet flour was stored in airtight container. Nutritional content of Barnyard millet was analysed for macro, micro nutrients and nutraceutical properties of both polished and unpolished form using standard AOAC method - 20th edition (2016). The analysed nutrient content were compared statistically at 99% and 95 % confidence interval (t-test).The result shows that, the quantum of carbohydrate present in polished barnyard millet was 11.37 % lesser than the milled parboiled rice and 9 % lesser than the brown rice and 12.45 % lesser than the raw milled rice. The total dietary fibre content of unpolished barnyard millet was 14.2 gm and polished barnyard millet was 8.5 gm. Crude fibre content of unpolished barnyard millet was noted as 11.2 gm and the same in polished barnyard millet was 4.5gm. The protein content of unpolished barnyard millet (10.4gm) was found to be superior to polished barnyard millet (6.8gm).The presence of nutraceutical components were more nutritionally superior in unpolished barnyard millet compared to polished one.

Organic masks are masks made from natural ingredients that have good nutritional content for the face. Organic masks have many benefits which are certainly no less than treatments at a beauty doctor. Facial masks are beauty masks in the form of gels, pastes and powders which are applied to clean and tighten the skin, especially facial skin. Face masks also function as carriers for active ingredients that are useful for skin health, such as extra plants, essential oils, or seaweed that can be absorbed by the skin's surface to be carried into the blood circulation. The purpose of this study is to help consumers determine the best organic face mask. This research method uses the MOORA method. The criteria used are Variant (A), Size (B), Price (C), Aroma (D), Method of Use (E), Rules of Use (F), Results of Use (G). The alternatives used are Crushlicious (0.1147), Namo.Id (0.2758), NHM (0.2257), Lea Gloria (0.7218), Poupeepou (0.1692), and Natuna Oilvera (0.1157). Thus, the best value of the six alternatives is the Lea Gloria Organic Face Mask with a value of 0.7218.

Preliminary results reported last year on the ion etching of tobacco mosaic virus indicated that the diameter of the virus decreased more rapidly at 10KV than at 5KV, perhaps reaching a constant value before disappearing completely.In order to follow the effects of ion etching on TMV more quantitatively we have designed and built a second apparatus (Fig. 1), which incorporates monitoring devices for measuring ion current and vacuum as well as accelerating voltage. In addition, the beam diameter has been increased to approximately 1 cm., so that ten electron microscope grids can be exposed to the beam simultaneously.

Preparation of replicas of the complex arrangement of blood vessels in various organs and tissues has been accomplished by infusing low viscosity resins into the vasculature. Subsequent removal of the surrounding tissue by maceration leaves a model of the intricate three-dimensional anatomy of the blood vessels of the tissue not obtainable by any other procedure. When applied with care, the vascular corrosion casting technique can reveal fine details of the microvasculature including endothelial nuclear orientation and distribution (Fig. 1), locations of arteriolar sphincters (Fig. 2), venous valve anatomy (Fig. 3), and vessel size, density, and branching patterns. Because casts faithfully replicate tissue vasculature, they can be used for quantitative measurements of that vasculature. The purpose of this report is to summarize and highlight some quantitative applications of vascular corrosion casting. In each example, casts were prepared by infusing Mercox, a methyl-methacrylate resin, and macerating the tissue with 20% KOH. Casts were either mounted for conventional scanning electron microscopy, or sliced for viewing with a confocal laser microscope.

Electron holography has recently been available to modern electron microscopy labs with the development of field emission electron microscopes. The unique advantage of recording both amplitude and phase of the object wave makes electron holography a effective tool to study electron optical phase objects. The visibility of the phase shifts of the object wave makes it possible to directly image the distributions of an electric or a magnetic field at high resolution. This work presents preliminary results of first high resolution imaging of ferroelectric domain walls by electron holography in BaTiO3 and quantitative measurements of electrostatic field distribution across domain walls.

Abstract Single-molecule imaging has mostly been restricted to the use of fluorescence labelling as a contrast mechanism due to its superior ability to visualise molecules of interest on top of an overwhelming background of other molecules. Recently, interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy has demonstrated the detection and imaging of single biomolecules based on light scattering without the need for fluorescent labels. Significant improvements in measurement sensitivity combined with a dependence of scattering signal on object size have led to the development of mass photometry, a technique that measures the mass of individual molecules and thereby determines mass distributions of biomolecule samples in solution. The experimental simplicity of mass photometry makes it a powerful tool to analyse biomolecular equilibria quantitatively with low sample consumption within minutes. When used for label-free imaging of reconstituted or cellular systems, the strict size-dependence of the iSCAT signal enables quantitative measurements of processes at size scales reaching from single-molecule observations during complex assembly up to mesoscopic dynamics of cellular components and extracellular protrusions. In this review, I would like to introduce the principles of this emerging imaging technology and discuss examples that show how mass-sensitive iSCAT can be used as a strong complement to other routine techniques in biochemistry.
