“…Some early works have reported mould and yeasts from the genera Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Rhodotorula and Wallemia, where Rhodotorula mucilaginosa generally dominate moist spaces such as toilets, A. fumigatus in drier spaces such as the living rooms and Cladosporium in almost every living space [212,213]. Besides source-tracking, engineered building materials and surface coatings that prevent or minimise fungal colonisation are another area of active research [214,215]. These solutions, however, are expensive, and it is almost impossible to maintain sterility in a built environment unless medically warranted, for example, in the intensive care units of healthcare facilities, which in themselves poses a challenge [216].…”

Fungal disease is an increasingly recognised global clinical challenge associated with high mortality. Early diagnosis of fungal infection remains problematic due to the poor sensitivity and specificity of current diagnostic modalities. Advances in sequencing technologies hold promise in addressing these shortcomings and for improved fungal detection and identification. To translate such emerging approaches into mainstream clinical care will require refinement of current sequencing and analytical platforms, ensuring standardisation and consistency through robust clinical benchmarking and its validation across a range of patient populations. In this stateof-the-art review, we discuss current diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with fungal disease and provide key examples where the application of sequencing technologies has potential diagnostic application in assessing the human 'mycobiome'. We assess how ready access to fungal sequencing may be exploited in broadening our insight into hostfungal interaction, providing scope for clinical diagnostics and the translation of emerging mycobiome research into clinical practice.

“…The photocatalytic activity of the coated substrates (4 cm × 4 cm × 1 cm) was measured in the liquid phase by monitoring the change of rhodamine B (RhB) concentration under UV–vis irradiation [38]. The RhB presents a dye pollutant in which decomposition starts in the presence of light energy and a photocatalyst [39,40].…”

Efficiency of Novel Photocatalytic Coating and Consolidants for Protection of Valuable Mineral Substrates

et al. 2019

In the process of protection and consolidation of valuable materials, the efficiency is the crucial property that needs to be considered. TiO2/ZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) coating and silicate- and carbonate-based consolidants were synthesized and proposed to be used for protection and consolidation of four porous mineral substrates: brick, stone, render and mortar. The photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2/ZnAl LDH coating, as well as consolidation efficiency of two consolidants, both applied on model substrates, were studied. The photocatalytic coating showed significant activity and performed well after the durability tests involving rinsing and freezing/thawing procedures. After treatment with both consolidants, a serious enhancement of consolidation of the used substrates was found. On the other hand, the application of TiO2/ZnAl LDH, as well as consolidants, caused negligible changes in the water vapour permeability values and in appearance of the porous mineral substrates, indicating a high level of compatibility.

“…Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is another nanoparticle that has a good potential to be used as wood preservative. The potential of TiO 2 is related to its antibacterial and antifungal [ 14 , 225 ] and UV-resistant properties [ 225 , 226 ]. However, the study on wood treated with TiO 2 is still under preliminary investigation [ 14 , 225 ].…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Wood-based industry is one of the main drivers of economic growth in Malaysia. Forest being the source of various lignocellulosic materials has many untapped potentials that could be exploited to produce sustainable and biodegradable nanosized material that possesses very interesting features for use in wood-based industry itself or across many different application fields. Wood-based products sector could also utilise various readily available nanomaterials to enhance the performance of existing products or to create new value added products from the forest. This review highlights recent developments in nanotechnology application in the wood-based products industry.
