SOUND REDUCTION BY METAMATERIAL-BASED ACOUSTIC ENCLOSURE

Sound reduction by metamaterial-based acoustic enclosure

In many practical systems, acoustic radiation control on noise sources contained within a finite volume by an acoustic enclosure is of great importance, but difficult to be accomplished at low frequencies due to the enhanced acoustic-structure interaction.In this work, we propose to use acoustic metamaterials as the enclosure to efficiently reduce

Anti-Virulence Properties of Coridothymus capitatus Essential Oil against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates from Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Avena Sativa (Wild Oats) pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections, and is often involved in airway infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.P.aeruginosa virulence is related to its ability to form biofilm, trigger different types of motilities, and produce toxins (for example, bacterial pigments).
