The development of a novel microfluidic device that includes a circular microchannel and integrated electrodes for DNA electrophoresis is reported. The geometry of the separation channel and the arrangement of the embedd...

Abstract Contractor-related deficiencies remain a critical challenge in workplace health and safety management within high-risk industries, particularly in the oil and gas sector, where heterogeneous safety practices and...

Abstract Achieving sustainable economic growth in resource-dependent economies is vital to balancing competitiveness, attracting investment, and improving environmental performance. This study examines the asymmetric eff...

Abstract Colostrum is the first mammary secretion produced after parturition and represents a biologically active fluid essential for neonatal survival, immune maturation, and early growth. Despite its importance, breed-...

Abstract Solar-powered electric-vehicle (EV) charging in tropical, PV-rich regions such as Uganda faces coupled stressors from high ambient temperature and intermittent solar irradiance, which can destabilize conventiona...

Abstract IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, is characterized by mesangial IgA deposition, which triggers complement activation, primarily through the alternative pathway. While ...

The deactivation of the H3PW12O40 (HPW) catalyst supported on TiO2 used in the isomerization reaction of α-pinene and its regeneration were studied. The regeneration of the deactivated catalyst was carried out with an a...

On December 16th, 2015, the superconducting gravimeter SG038 started to measure again after it was moved from the previous station in Concepcion, Chile to the Argentine-Germany Geodetic Observatory (AGGO) near the city o...

Juvenile breast cancer is rare and poorly known. We studied a series of five breast cancer patients diagnosed within 25 years of age that included two adolescents, 12- and 15-years-old, and 3 young women, 21-, 21-, and 2...

Abstract This study investigates the effect of board structure on accrual and real earnings management in Ethiopia. Before the enactment of Proclamation No. 1248/2021 and the subsequent official market launch in 2025, Et...

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis causes bacterial wilt and canker in tomato. A detailed account of pathogen effects on growth and water parameters of affected plants is lacking. Besides, the long latent per...

The relationship between “marginal” and “mainstream” science has, in recent decades, become a matter of discussion. Traditional perspectives must be reexamined in the wake of transformations in the international ...

Abstract The concept of sustainability capital has been gaining momentum worldwide, and companies are encouraged to report on sustainability capital in their integrated reports. Companies are now starting to shift their ...

Ombrotrophic peat bogs from Tierra del Fuego are characteristically raised, dome-shaped, fed by precipitation, and nutrient-poor. Their landscape pattern consists of a Sphagnum magellanicum matrix encompassing pools with...

We have studied the effect of the pelletization pressure on microstructural and electrical transport properties of superconducting ceramics with starting composition given by the formula Bi 1.65Pb 0.35Sr 2Ca 2.5Cu 3.5O 1...

Abstract Three chromophores 5a-c based on the diphenylamine (donor), thiazole (π-core) and acrylonitrile (acceptor) were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, MS analyses. The donor–acceptor chromophores 5a-c were...

Abstract India’s ambitious renewable energy targets and its vision for energy self-reliance critically depend on a resilient and competitive solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing ecosystem. However, India’s heavy rel...

Old fields are spreading in the world because of agriculture abandonment, and they show a persistence of exotic plant species with little recovery towards the original vegetation composition. Soil biota may also differ b...

Abstract Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an extremely lethal cerebrovascular emergency that can lead to severe long term neurological deficits. Modern research evidence indicates that the incidence of SAH varies signifi...

Higher plants and cyanobacteria metabolize sucrose (Suc) by a similar set of enzymes. Suc synthase (SuS, UDP-glucose: D-fructose 2- -D-glucosyl transferase, EC 2.4.1.13) catalyses the synthesis and cleavage of Suc, and i...

Given g an α-H¨older continuous function defined on the boundary of a bounded domain Ω and given ψ a continuous obstacle defined in Ω, in this article, we find u an α-H¨older extension of g in Ω with u ≥ ψ....

The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is an herbivorous rodent widely distributed throughout most of South American wetlands that lives closely associated with aquatic environments. In this work, we studied the geneti...

Abstract Integrating Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies with Lean Six Sigma (LSS) tools holds significant potential for enhancing manufacturing excellence (ME). This paper provides a comprehensive review of 181 research a...
