Abstract Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is caused by a mutant biotype of the feline enteric coronavirus. The resulting FIP virus (FIPV) commonly causes central nervous system (CNS) and ocular pathology in cases of n...

Abstract In response to concerns of environmental pollution caused by hazardous dyes, remediating these dyes is a challenge. Herein, we developed a genetic algorithm-artificial neural network (GA-ANN) based optimization ...

Background and Objectives: In recent decades, inadequate attention by designers to the thermal performance of commercial building façades has resulted in significant thermal inefficiencies in such complexes. This study ...

Bacterial cellulose pellicles were produced by Gluconacetobacter xylinus using non conventional low-cost carbon sources, such as glycerol remaining from biodiesel production and grape bagasse, a residue of wine productio...

Startle is a fast response elicited by sudden acoustic, tactile or visual stimuli in a variety of animal species and in humans. The magnitude of startle response can be modulated by external and internal variables and ca...

Abstract A precise detection of the fault feature parameter of motor current is a new research hotspot in the broken rotor bar (BRB) fault diagnosis of induction motors. Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is the most popul...

The oxidation of diesel soot using K/CeO2 catalysts is studied in this paper. The reaction system involved in the catalytic oxidation of soot is quite complex; therefore, the study of reaction mechanisms is particularly ...

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 ...

Nanostructures composed of dielectric, metallic or metalo-dielectric structures are receiving significant attention due to their unique capabilities to manipulate light for a wide range of functions such as spectral colo...

Abstract Cultured meat is under investigation as an environmentally sustainable substitute for conventional animal-derived meat. Employing a scaffolding technique is one approach to developing cultured meat products. The...

Nonlinear response conception in rotating machinery, particularly in systems with squeeze film dampers (SFDs), pose significant challenges for established time-domain numerical methods due to bifurcations and critical po...

Metasurfaces are engineered thin surfaces comprising two-dimensional (2D) arrays of sub-wavelength-spaced and sub-wavelength-sized resonators. Metasurfaces can locally manipulate the amplitude, phase, and polarization of...

Metal oxides (MO) are essential in various industrial applications, yet their limited solubility in common solvents often hinders their utility. This study investigates the dissolution of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) using green a...

This study investigated the mechanical and thermal properties of polylactic acid (PLA) composites produced using a hand layup 3D printing process, highlighting advancements in the manufacturing of hybrid hemp fibre PLA c...

Abstract In the present study, yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using different precipitating agents, namely acetic acid, oxalic acid, sodium carbonate, and urea, through a controlled ...

Biomaterials capable of controlling the delivery of drugs have the potential to treat a variety of conditions. Herein, the preparation of electrically conductive silk fibroin film-based drug delivery devices is described...

Over 70% of pharmaceutical compounds face the challenge of poor water solubility, which impacts on their bioavailability. This study focuses on the use of Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) mesoporous silica material as...

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...

Antibiotics have been found extensively in the environment, particularly in groundwater, sediments, and surface water. The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria from wastewater c...

Abstract The extraction of cellulose from bamboo residues remains challenging because lignin and hemicellulose are strongly integrated within the fibre matrix. Green pretreatment using a two-step DES method allows effici...

Aim: The aim of this study is to synthesize and characterize the more efficient photocatalyst [zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs)] via the addition of dopant lanthanum (La) and pineapple peel extract. Pineapple peel as a ...

A parabolic potential that confines charge carriers along the growth direction of quantum wells semiconductor systems is characterized by a single resonance frequency, associated to intersubband transitions. Motivated by...

Recycling of construction waste is essential for sustainable cement-based materials, yet the variable composition of recycled autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) powder pose significant challenges when used in grouting app...

Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic associated with gastric and intestinal side effects after extended oral administration. Alginate is a biopolymer commonly employed in gel synthesis by ionotropic gelation, but...
