Nanotechnology Application
The application of nanotechnology, molecular biotechnologies, and nano-sciences for medical purposes has been termed nanomedicine, a promising growing area of medical research. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of and discuss nanotechnology applications in the early epochs of life, from transplacental transfer to neonatal/pediatric conditions. Diagnostic and therapeutic applications, mainly related to the respiratory tract, the neurosensory system, and infections, are explored and discussed. Preclinical studies show promising results for a variety of conditions, including for the treatment of pregnancy complications and fetal, neonatal, and pediatric diseases. However, given the complexity of the functions and interactions between the placenta and the fetus, and the complex and incompletely understood determinants of tissue growth and differentiation during early life, there is a need for much more data to confirm the safety and efficacy of nanotechnology in this field.

Bio-Coatings Methods for Fruits and Vegetables Preservation
Consuming fresh food is undoubtedly the best way to enjoy various flavors and nutrients, but their preservation helps to enjoy all these even out of season. Bio-coating technologies hold great promise for the future of food preservation, offering a more sustainable and healthy way to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for more extended periods. The choice of a coating method may depend on the type of fresh fruits and vegetables, the coating material, and the desired coating thickness. The application method should be carried out under hygienic conditions to prevent contamination and ensure the effectiveness of the coating. It is also essential to apply the coating evenly and that it adheres properly to the surface of the produce, maximizing its effectiveness. The coating material can be applied in its pure form or mixed with other ingredients such as antioxidants, preservatives, or antimicrobial agents, thus enhancing its effectiveness.

Properties and Applications of Levan
Polysaccharides play a crucial role in medicine, pharmacy, and cosmetology, as well as in the production of biofuels and biomaterials. Among microbial biopolymers, microbial levan, a fructose polysaccharide, holds significant promise due to its high productivity and chemical diversity. Levan exhibits a wide range of properties, including film-forming ability, biodegradability, non-toxicity, self-aggregation, encapsulation, controlled release capacity, water retention, immunomodulatory and prebiotic activity, antimicrobial and anticancer activity, as well as high biocompatibility. These exceptional properties position levan as an attractive candidate for nature-based materials in food production, modern cosmetology, medicine, and pharmacy.

Degradation and Life Prediction of Polyethylene
Polyethylene is one of the most significant and useful polymers that has been extensively studied for use as a plastic material. The benefits of using polyethylene as a commercial plastic material include its excellent mechanical properties, good flexibility, good chemical resistance, lightweight properties, good thermal stability, and high-cost performance. The piping sector has been impacted by the trend of replacing steel with plastic during the past, resulting in the steady replacement of metal-based pipes with plastic pipes. Polyethylene pipes are the most commonly utilized among them. Consider the case of high-density polyethylene pipes. Its market worth was USD 15.975 billion in 2018, and 9.283 million tons were consumed each year. The service life of polyethylene pipes will not be less than 50 years, and it will continue to grow at a rate of at least 5% annually in the upcoming years.
