Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is a growing problem worldwide, with 10 million incident cases registered every year. The complex etiology of AD has not been clarified yet and represents an ...

The characteristic oral environment – with its dynamic clearance, moisture, microbial load, and inflammatory potential – makes oral diseases highly prevalent and therapeutically challenging. Metal-organic frameworks ...

Abstract High cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise show evidence of altering bile acid (BA) metabolism and are known to protect or treat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, respectively. Here, we tested the hypothesis that...

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes by the chemical reduction of Ag+ may be strongly influenced by the light irradiation. A key question is understanding the mechanism underlying the transform...

A new methodology to design discrete-time multiple resonant controllers for single-phase uninterruptible power supply inverters is proposed in this study. This methodology is based on classical linear tools and consists ...

A systematic approach to the synthesis of compliant mechanisms starting from the problem requirements is proposed. The method uses as topological solution space several atlases of compliant mechanisms specialized from ri...

Water contamination is a global issue and different techniques are being devised to reduce water contamination. Among these techniques, use of nanoparticles for water purification is an efficient and cost-effective metho...

As the twentieth century neared its midpoint, paleoanthropology was in dire need of revitalization and some coherent concept of evolution.  Sadly, as introduced to paleoanthropology by Ernst Mayr in 1950, the Modern Evo...

Abstract This study explores the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using elicitors (ML) from the beneficial bacterium Bacillus G36 and evaluates their potential to enhance bioactive compound production...

Pt catalysts were prepared by encapsulating the active metal in the NaA zeolite structure. The catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using two heating sources, conventional heating through a thermal bath and ...

To date, control strategies used against insect pest species are based on synthetic insecticide applications. In addition, the efficacy of these treatments could be decreased due to insecticide resistance in insect popul...

Cerium-based materials were intensively studied in last years because of their high oxygen storage capacity (OSC) associated to the reversible Ce4+ Ce3+ process and their properties closely related to the defect chemistr...

Objective: This article aims to describe how the social actors involved in curriculum development—teachers, students, and professionals—characterized the secondary school student movement in Chile between 2001 and 20...

Abstract Background Globally, almost 1.6 billion individuals lack adequate housing. Many accommodation‐based approaches have evolved across the globe to incorporate additional support and services beyond delivery of ho...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of input subsidies on agricultural productivity, beneficiary incomes and welfare, consumer welfare and wider economic growth. The review summarizes evidence from 15 ex...

Objective To characterise phenotype and functional profibrotic M2 markers in circulating monocytes and cultured monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients (pts) with progressive interstiti...

Abstract Many codecs with different error-correction approaches have been implemented for DNA data storage to date. However, no studies have systematically benchmarked codec implementations to establish their current sta...

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do nível de produção de leite sobre o consumo e a digestibilidade dos nutrientes (MS, MO, EE, PB, FDNcp e CNF corrigidos), o consumo de NDT, a produção de proteína microbiana e a excre...

High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) are emerging as promising candidates for advanced electrocatalysis due to their multi‐elemental compositions, tunable electronic structures, and remarkable stability. Recent advances in syn...

Aims: The objective of this work was to study the influence of the sugar source on exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and the activities of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of sugar nucleotides in Lactobacillus case...

The unique optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) make them promising candidates for applications in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), scintillators, and other photonic devices. The automated...

Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) moench] exhibits intraspecificvariability for the rate of dormancy release and pre-harvest sprouting behavior. Two inbred lines with contrasting sprouting response were compared: IS9530...

Poor housing is associated with poor health. This suggests that improving housing conditions might lead to improved health for residents. This review searched widely for studies from anywhere in the world which had inves...

IntroductionFatty liver is a common metabolic disease in dairy cows during early postpartum period, which is characterized by excessive hepatic triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation. However, the mechanisms of bile acid (BA...
