Plants-derived bioactives: Novel utilization as antimicrobial, antioxidant and phytoreducing agents for the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles

Medicinal and aromatic higher plants are sustainable resources for natural product compounds, including
essential oils, phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and saponins. Extractives and essential oils as well as
their bioactive compounds have many uses due to their antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant properties as
well as application in food preservation. These natural compounds have been reported in many works, for
instance biofungicide with phenolic and flavonoid compounds being effective against mold that causes discoloration

An analytical study on the relationship between the fungal degradation and multicomponent nature of paper manuscripts

This paper aims to identify the most common fungal species that grow on paper manuscripts and cause bio-deterioration. It also detects
the impact of additive materials on fungal degrading and builds a wide database. Thus, it helps conservators understand this phenomenon.
Design/methodology/approach – In total, 15 samples were collected from different paper manuscripts suffering from fungi. The achievement of
the study objectives depends on using a variety of analyzes, such as a microbiological study, which indicated that three main fungi grew on the

X‑ray computed tomography (CT) and ESEM‑EDS investigations of unusual subfossilized juniper cones

Recent investigations of a Greco-Roman site at Sais have provided well-preserved archaeobotanical
remains within a pile of metal fragments. The remains are compared with comparable modern taxa.
The morphology and anatomy are studied using Light microscope (LM), Environmental scanning
electron microscope (ESEM) and X-ray computed tomography (CT). To investigate the preservation
mode, Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis and elemental mapping are conducted. Results
revealed that the archaeobotanical remains are exhibiting close affinity with modern juniper cones.

Characterization of Two Historical Postage Stamps Made from Cotton Fibers and Their Restoration Trials Based on the Experimental Studies

Ancient stamps are suffering from the destructive effects of different kinds of inks that were prepared from different ingredients.
Two Egyptian historical postage stamps printed in blue and red printing inks were evaluated and examined for their composition
using a light microscope, SEM-EDS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopic analyses. Mechanical, chemical, and deacidification
treatments were done for the two stamps. Model stamps were made from the cotton pulp in the book house to simulate historical
