Abstract This study investigates the surface morphology, microhardness, and electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ti-Mn alloys reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) at 5, 10, and 15 wt% concentrations, fabricated via spark...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in surface and ground water systems worldwide, making it an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human health. Despite a rapid increase in resea...

Nonlinear optics has generated a wide range of applications in the fields of optical communications, biomedicine, and materials science, with nonlinear conversion efficiency serving as a vital metric for its progress. Ho...

Abstract Response surface methodology (RSM) is a useful set of statistical techniques for modeling and optimizing responses in research studies of food science. As a design for a response surface experiment, a central co...

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining process that utilizes electric sparks between an electrode and a workpiece submerged in a dielectric fluid to ablate a material. It is commonly used in di...

Abstract Benzoic acid is occasionally used as a raw material supplement in food products and is sometimes generated during the fermentation process. In this study, the production of naturally occurring yogurt preservativ...

Abstract Response surface methodology was used to study the effect of egg albumen (5–15 g), vegetable oil (5–15 g), and corn bran (5–15 g) on sensory and textural (firmness and toughness) quality of chicken nuggets...

The growth and ordering of the anodic aluminum oxide layer depend strongly on the initial roughness of the substrate and consequently on the different pretreatment stages. The objective of this study was to select the b...

This study investigates the intensity of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect across Lahore District and its surrounding urban and peri-urban areas. Landsat satellite data were utilized t...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), pristine and subjected to treatments, are comparatively characterized from N2 and Kr (77 K) adsorption measurements. The CNTs are lab-synthesized by in situ chemical vapour depositio...

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal found in tobacco, water, and food. Exposure to this metal can be harmful to health, causing kidney, bone, and respiratory problems, and even cancer. Furthermore, Cd exposure through ma...

Abstract In a previous study, ‘response surface methodology (RSM) using a fullest balanced model’ was proposed to improve the optimization of food processing when a standard second-order model has a significant lack ...

The objectives of the current study are to assess the performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine running on Juliflora biodiesel-based blends at varying levels of brake power. These ob-jectives were achie...

الملخص: أهداف البحث: هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم الخصائص السطحية للغرسات المصنَّعة من بولي ميثيل ميثاكريلات وهيدروكسي أب...

ABSTRACT Cells rely on surface receptors to sense and initiate signalling cascades essential for numerous cellular processes, but engineering of synthetic genetic circuits to sense and rewire receptor activities for user...

A new method for pre-concentration/separation and determination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) by solid-surface fluorescence (SSF) is proposed. The herbicide was complexed with Rhodamine B at pH 7.0 in the pre...

The detrimental effects of biofilms are a cause of great concern in medical, industrial and environmental areas. In this study, we proposed a novel eradication strategy consisting of the combined use of micropatterned su...

By reaction between stearic acid (SA) and a di-epoxidized oligomeric poly(ethylene glycol) under stoichiometric conditions, an amphiphilic β-hydroxyester (β-HE) bearing pendant alkyl chains was obtained with a typical ...

In response to the limitations of traditional planning methods for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs), which heavily rely on predefined map representations and neglect kinematic feasibility, this paper proposes a novel k...

Objective: To develop an antimicrobial and anti-adherent thymol (TOH)-containing coating on titanium (Ti) by a bioinspired one-step biocompatible method. Methods: A nanolayer of adsorbed TOH (TOH-NL-Ti) was formed by an ...

Abstract This study developed an antimicrobial hydrogel to control Listeria monocytogenes in Yukhoe (Korean beef tartare). Four hydrogels (hydrogel 1: 5% alginate+1% chitosan+0.2% CaCl2, hydrogel 2: 1% κ-carrageenan+1% ...

In order to rationally design a bio-functional surface based on the adsorption of a His-tag antigen, three requirements have to be considered: the bio-recognition element, the driving forces for the adsorption process an...

Dihydroxychalcones as well as other metabolites synthesized via the phenylpropanoid pathway have a wide range of biological activities. Although this class of phenolic compounds is found in very large amounts in some tis...

The effect of lactocin AL705, bacteriocin produced by Latilactobacillus (Lat.) curvatus CRL1579 against Listeria biofilms on stainless steel (SS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coupons at 10 ◦C was investigated. L....
