![]() ![]() ZnO nanoparticles and ZnO nanowires were prepared using the hydrothermal technique. This paper studied the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) using polymeric membrane impregnated with ZnO nanostructures under UV-light and sunlight irradiation. The developed edible pullulan/chitosan-based film was used for pork belly packaging, and the peroxide value and total number of aerobic microorganisms were significantly reduced in meat wrapped with the pullulan/chitosan/ZnONPs/propolis film. In addition, the pullulan/chitosan-based biocomposite film exhibited good antioxidant activity due to the propolis and excellent antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens due to the ZnONPs. Additionally, the water vapor barrier property and hydrophobicity of the film were slightly increased. The reinforcement with ZnONPs and propolis improved the mechanical strength of the pullulan/chitosan-based film by~25%. The combined incorporation of ZnONPs and propolis pointedly improved the composite film's UV-blocking property without losing transparency. ![]() The mushroom-mediated ZnONPs showed an irregular shape with an average size of 26.7 ± 8.9 nm. The ZnONPs were synthesized using enoki mushroom extract and characterized using physicochemical methods. Pullulan/chitosan-based multifunctional edible composite films were fabricated by reinforcing mushroom-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and propolis. MB was completely degraded in 45 min using Tagetes erecta and 120 min using Lentinula edodes when subjected to solar irradiation. ZnO NPs produced with Tagetes erecta and Lentinula edodes showed the best photocatalytic activity, matching with the maximum adsorbed MB molecules (45.41 and 58.73%, respectively). Further, TEM analysis proved the formation of spherical and hemispherical nanoparticles of ZnO with a size in the range of 14–32 nm, which were found in aggregate shape such a size was well below the size of the particles synthesized with no extract (~43 nm). The XRD results indicate that all synthesized nanoparticles have a hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure, which was confirmed by TEM. UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET) were used for the characterization of samples. The photocatalytic properties of ZnO NPs were investigated by the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under sunlight irradiation. In this work, the assessment of Azadirachta indica, Tagetes erecta, Chrysanthemum morifolium, and Lentinula edodes extracts as catalysts for the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was performed. The prepared ZnO CH-SS NCs can therefore be employed as a photocatalyst for the breakdown of toxic dyes found in wastewater and it could be used as a promising antibacterial product. 90% of the dye was degraded within 135 min. ![]() ![]() Under UV light, the photocatalytic effectiveness of biosynthesized ZnO NCs was evaluated for the methylene blue (MB) dye degradation process. The findings point to a mechanism for ZnO NCs in cell death caused by complete DNA destruction. coli strain was practically resistant to these NCs, whereas B. The antibacterial effectiveness of nanocomposites was tested against two bacterial strains E. Further, HRTEM proved the formation of cubic/hexagonal shapes with consistent sizes. XRD results revealed the crystalline structure with a size of 21 nm and 25 nm for silk sericin NCs and mushroom NCs, respectively, which was confirmed by HRTEM. The confirmation was verified by HRTEM analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups in extracts and synthesized nanocomposites, which was further supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The synthesized ZnO NCs were investigated by various techniques in order to confirm the production, particle size, and other properties. This is the first report on the usage of fruiting bodies of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) and silk sericin extracts as green reducer agents incorporated in the myco-synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles, coated with chitosan polymer that functions as a stabilizer was performed. ![]()

There are some great songs on here, but they are in no way as good as 'Jailbreak'. 'Johnny the Fox' is an album I have never really gotten to grips with. This album is full of rock, blues, awesome guitar solos and really kicks ass! Final song 'Emerald' is a classic rocker if ever there was one. 'Warriors' has dual guitars and ‘Cowboy Song’ always goes down a treat live. Then there’s the brilliant and so well known 'The Boys Are Back in Town', there’s been many versions of this song but Lynott has to be one of the best. 'Running Back' has a bluesy folky feel to it. The album has so many great tracks such as the opener ‘Jailbreak’, which is gritty and raw. A classic Thin Lizzy album released in 1976, the year of the heat wave and Thin Lizzy sure turned up the temperature with this classic. ‘Ballad of a Hard Man’ is hard rock with a little bit of funk into the bargain as well. ‘Freedom Song’ is a story about someone being hung and shouting freedom, and is quite moving. ‘Fighting My Way Back’ a hard rock song that really should be a better known. ‘Suicide’ rocks like a drunken man on a ledge and you get an awesome guitar solo from Brian Robertson, as he really lets fly on this track. ‘For Those Who Love to Live’ is dedicated to Irish footballing legend George Best and on the song, the twin guitars of Robertson and Gorham come to the fore for the first time, and would live and stay with Lizzy thankfully as they got heavier and put more guts into their sound. If you have been lucky enough to have seen this song performed live, then you will know it is Head-Banging Heaven!. ‘Rosalie’ Bob Seger's song and a crowd favourite is the first track and truly rocks. 'Fighting' (from 1975) is more hard rock with a melodic tinge. This isn't exactly the heaviest of their albums, but nevertheless very competent and when the band were starting to showcase their talents and fit into their musical groove and direction. This was the seventies don’t forget, so we get a funkier number with 'Showdown', where Phil and Co. It includes a fair few ballads, including the heart wrenching bluesy classic 'Still In Love With You', then there’s the hard hitting and moving 'Frankie Carroll', intermixed with happier more upbeat songs like album opener 'She Knows'. 'Night Life' (1974) is one of the softer albums by Lizzy, but I guess they were still really finding their sound and it’s a kind of experimental album. With the recent, and in my opinion the best reincarnation of Lizzy, working tirelessly to keep the memory of the legendary Phil Lynott and his music with Thin Lizzy alive, they are again at the forefront of the Rock music scene, (there may be new offerings in the pipeline), but for the time being sit back and relax, as you delve back into the history and of this great band, from 'Night Life' to 'Black Rose'. This set contains a selection of 6 Thin Lizzy albums and I would say this would be ideal for someone who is new to the band, and a must for diehard fans.

Kroc shared his vision of McDonald’s future, selling his early suppliers on future volumes. ![]() McDonald’s passion for quality meant that ingredients were tested, tasted and perfected to fit the operating system. So while many of McDonald’s most famous menu items – like the Filet-O-Fish, Big Mac, and Egg McMuffin – were created by franchisees, the McDonald’s operating system required franchisees to follow the core McDonald’s principles of quality, service, cleanliness and value. “If I had a brick for every time I’ve repeated the phrase Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value, I think I’d probably be able to bridge the Atlantic Ocean with them.” – Ray Krocįirst and foremost, Kroc advocated adherence to the system approach. The stool was only as strong as the three legs that formed its foundation. He promoted the slogan, “In business for yourself, but not by yourself.” His philosophy was based on the simple principle of a 3-legged stool: one leg was McDonald’s franchisees the second, McDonald’s suppliers and the third, McDonald’s employees. To achieve this, he chose a unique path: persuading both franchisees and suppliers to buy into his vision, working not for McDonald’s but for themselves, together with McDonald’s. He wanted to serve burgers, fries and beverages that tasted just the same in Alaska as they did in Alabama. Ray Kroc wanted to build a restaurant system that would be famous for providing food of consistently high quality and uniform methods of preparation. By 1958, McDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc., a predecessor of the McDonald’s Corporation, and six years later bought the exclusive rights to the McDonald’s name and operating system. They were looking for a new franchising agent and Kroc saw an opportunity. The McDonald’s brothers produced a limited menu, concentrating on just a few items – burgers, fries and beverages – which allowed them to focus on quality and quick service. There he found a small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was stunned by the effectiveness of their operation. In 1954, he visited a restaurant in San Bernardino, California that had purchased several Multimixers. He then worked as a piano player, a paper cup salesman and a Multimixer salesman. In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver, but the war ended before he completed his training. How do you create a restaurant business and become an overnight success at the age of 52? As Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success alright, but 30 years is a long, long night.” ![]() ![]() Process Street helps create and manage business process documents for tricky tasks like employee onboarding and network security management.
