Bacteriophages can be used in various applications, from the classical approach as substitutes for antibiotics (phage therapy) to new biotechnological uses, i.e., as a protein delivery vehicle, a diagnostic tool for specific strains of bacteria (phag...

Brazil has set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is a significant opportunity to leverage calcium looping (CaL) technology for energy generation in natural gas power plants. CaL is a promising technology, due to sorbent low cost...

Safranal is the main aroma component of saffron stigmas. It is also a great antioxidant with known pharmacological properties and is a potent indicator for the grading and authentication of saffron. In this study, the optimum extraction conditions of...

It is of great practical significance to utilize the agricultural carbon emission reduction effect of the policy of re-designation of counties as cities or city districts (RCCD) to achieve agricultural high-quality development. This paper uses panel...

Change detection techniques, which extract different regions of interest from bi-temporal remote sensing images, play a crucial role in various fields such as environmental protection, damage assessment, and urban planning. However, visual style inte...

Many factors affect energy demand, and knowing their impact is very important for being able to design a low-energy building. In this group of factors, there are those that cannot be changed and improved after the building is constructed, so taking t...

The present study was conducted to clarify the flexural behaviors of the Composite Girders of a Prestressed Segmental Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) Channel and a Reinforced Conventional Concrete Deck (PSUC-RCCD). The girders can be used as b...

In the present study, the process of ultrasonic assisted enzymatic extraction (UAEE), followed by macroporous resin purification, was successfully developed to achieve maximal recovery of flavonoids and ginkgolides from Ginkgo biloba fallen leaves (G...

Flexural testing on two prestressed segmental ultra–high–performance concrete channels and reinforced conventional concrete deck composite girders (PSUC–RCCD) was carried out. One was made up of four segments with dry joints, and th...

Objective: To develop and validate a genetic diagnostic model for colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: First, differential expression genes (DEGs) between colorectal cancer and normal groups were screened using the TCGA database. Subsequently, a two-sam...

Promoted Cu/ZnO catalyst was synthesized on Al₂O₃-ZrO₂ support. Effects of calcination conditions on the catalytic performance in a CO₂ hydrogenation reaction were studied systematically using the response surface methodology (RSM). The application o...

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus used as a flavoring and coloring agent in the food industry which also possesses medicinal properties. In the current study, the optimum Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) conditions for separati...

Solar irradiance, which is closely influenced by cloud cover, significantly affects photovoltaic (PV) power generation efficiency. To improve cloud type recognition without relying on labeled data tasks, this paper proposes a self-supervised cloud cl...

Pavement cracks are a critical indicator for assessing structural health and forecasting deterioration trends. Accurate and automated crack classification is of paramount importance for the intelligent maintenance of road structures. Inspired by the...

The development of novel antibacterial drugs needs urgent action due to the global emergence of antibiotic resistance. In this challenge, actinobacterial strains from arid ecosystems are proving to be promising sources of new bioactive metabolites. T...

With 15 drugs currently approved for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and even more combination regimens with immunotherapy on the horizon, there remains a distinct lack of molecular biomarkers for therapeutic efficacy. Our stu...

The application of β-galactosidase in the fermentation of milk enables the acquirement of lower levels of lactose that are tolerated by lactose maldigesters and can reduce the nutritional consequences of avoiding dairy products. The present stud...

In this study, soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD), a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerides, and isoamyl alcohol were evaluated as substrates in the synthesis of fatty acid isoamyl monoesters catalyzed by Eversa (a liquid formulation of...

This study explains the effect of ultrasound on the extraction of the bioactive compounds from garlic (Allium sativum L.) leaf powder. The experiment was carried out by varying the ultrasound amplitude (30–60%), treatment time (5–15 min), and ethanol...

This study investigated the biosynthesis, statistical optimization, characterization, and biocontrol activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) produced by newly isolated Trichoderma sp. The Trichoderma asperellum strain TA-3N was identified based on t...
