This book presents the latest studies in the synthesis and application of boron nitride (BN) composites as multifunctional materials for advanced technologies. BN, the second hardest material after diamond, has different allotropic forms similar to carbon and can exist as nanosheets, nanotubes, nanoshells, and 3D permeable nanostructure. The different chapters in this book highlight the BN nanostructures and its composite materials synthesized with conducting polymer, epoxy, nylon, graphene, and natural fiber composite, to produce materials with enhanced properties such as excellent mechanical wear resistance, superior thermal conductivity, and unique electronic properties. This book caters to researchers and academics interested in BN-based composite and its potential applications in nanoscale electrical and thermal devices and metal-free electro- and photo-catalysts.

La standardizzazione del saggio One-step real time reverse transcription PCR è un saggio specifico, sensibile, rapido ed economico per la rilevazione delle macchie del virus dell'influenza A, ovvero H1N1 e H3N2, responsabili dell'infezione influenzale stagionale. La diagnosi del virus dell'influenza A può essere effettuata con diversi strumenti diagnostici, come l'isolamento del virus, la PCR a trascrizione inversa convenzionale e la PCR a trascrizione inversa in tempo reale. Sebbene la PCR convenzionale a trascrizione inversa sia specifica, sensibile, rapida e conveniente, è necessario effettuare un'analisi post-trascrizione inversa. Tuttavia, la PCR a trascrizione inversa convenzionale fornisce solo risultati qualitativi e non quantitativi, mentre la PCR a trascrizione inversa in tempo reale richiede meno tempo e minori possibilità di contaminazione incrociata rispetto alla PCR a trascrizione inversa convenzionale. Non sono necessarie analisi post-trascrizione inversa della PCR e si ottengono risultati qualitativi e quantitativi con minori possibilità di contaminazione incrociata. L'unico punto negativo della PCR a trascrizione inversa in tempo reale è il costo elevato dello strumento richiesto per il test.

Die Standardisierung des einstufigen Reverse-Transkriptions-PCR-Tests in Echtzeit ist ein spezifischer, empfindlicher, schneller und kostengünstiger Test für den Nachweis von Influenza-A-Viren, d. h. H1N1 und H3N2, die für die saisonale Grippeinfektion verantwortlich sind. Die Diagnose des Influenza-A-Virus kann durch eine Vielzahl von Diagnosemethoden erfolgen, z. B. durch Isolierung des Virus, konventionelle reverse Transkriptions-PCR und Echtzeit-PCR-Assays für die reverse Transkription. Obwohl die herkömmliche PCR mit reverser Transkription spezifisch, empfindlich, schnell und kosteneffizient ist, ist eine PCR-Analyse nach der reversen Transkription erforderlich. Die konventionelle reverse Transkriptions-PCR liefert jedoch nur qualitative und keine quantitativen Ergebnisse, während die reverse Echtzeit-PCR weniger zeitaufwändig ist und die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Kreuzkontamination geringer ist als bei der konventionellen reversen Transkriptions-PCR. Es ist keine Post-Reverse-Transkriptions-PCR-Analyse erforderlich und liefert sowohl ein qualitatives als auch ein quantitatives Ergebnis bei geringerer Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Kreuzkontamination. Der einzige Nachteil der Reverse-Transkriptions-PCR in Echtzeit ist, dass für den Test ein teures Gerät benötigt wird.

A padronização do ensaio PCR de transcrição inversa em tempo real de uma etapa é um ensaio específico, sensível, rápido e económico para a detecção de manchas do vírus da gripe A, ou seja, H1N1, H3N2 são responsáveis pela infecção sazonal da gripe. O vírus da gripe A pode ser diagnosticado pela variedade de ferramentas de diagnóstico como o isolamento do vírus, a transcrição reversa convencional PCR e os ensaios PCR de transcrição reversa em tempo real. Embora a PCR de transcrição reversa convencional seja específica, sensível, rápida e rentável também, há necessidade de análise PCR de transcrição reversa pós-catalogação. No entanto, a PCR de transcrição reversa convencional apenas dá o resultado qualitativo não os resultados quantitativos, mas em caso de PCR de transcrição reversa em tempo real, portanto menos tempo e menos hipóteses de contaminação cruzada em comparação com a PCR de transcrição reversa convencional. Não há necessidade de análise pós transcrição reversa por PCR e dá o resultado qualitativo, bem como quantitativo, com menos probabilidade de contaminação cruzada. Apenas o ponto negativo da transcrição reversa PCR em tempo real é necessário um instrumento de custo elevado para o ensaio.

La normalisation du test PCR de transcription inverse en temps réel en une étape est un test spécifique, sensible, rapide et rentable pour la détection des souches du virus de la grippe A, c'est-à-dire H1N1, H3N2, qui sont responsables de l'infection de la grippe saisonnière. Le virus de la grippe A peut être diagnostiqué à l'aide de divers outils de diagnostic tels que l'isolement du virus, la PCR classique par transcription inverse et la PCR par transcription inverse en temps réel. Bien que la PCR par transcription inverse conventionnelle soit spécifique, sensible, rapide et rentable, il est nécessaire de procéder à une analyse PCR par transcription inverse. Cependant, la PCR par transcription inverse classique ne donne que des résultats qualitatifs et non quantitatifs, mais dans le cas de la PCR par transcription inverse en temps réel, elle prend moins de temps et présente moins de risques de contamination croisée que la PCR par transcription inverse classique. Il n'est pas nécessaire de procéder à une analyse PCR de transcription inverse ultérieure et le résultat est aussi bien qualitatif que quantitatif avec moins de risques de contamination croisée. Le seul point négatif de la PCR par transcription inverse en temps réel est le coût élevé de l'instrument requis pour le test.
