Carbonation and Restrained Shrinkage Cracking as Coupled Service-Life Controls in Low-Carbon Building Concrete: A Critical Review

Embodied-CO2 savings in clinker-reduced concrete must be evaluated alongside cover-zone durability and service life. This review examines carbonation and shrinkage/restrained cracking as coupled, rather than independent, controls on atmospheric service life in reinforced concrete buildings. The synthesis links binder r...

A critical mechanistic synthesis of PINK1-mediated mitophagy signaling and its therapeutic targeting in Parkinson's disease neurodegeneration.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is associated with loss of dopaminergic neurons, mitochondrial dysfunction and disruption of cellular homeostasis. PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) plays a crucial role in mitochondrial quality control by regulating mitophagy, mitochondrial dynamics...

Loss of Zbtb20 disrupts cochlear supporting cell differentiation and maturation and extends the postnatal hair cell regenerative window in mice

Comparative effects of exercise, dietary supplements, and effective food interventions on endurance and agility performance among runners

Endurance and agility jointly determine competitive success in middle-distance and distance running, yet the relative contributions of training and nutrition interventions remain unresolved. This randomized controlled, pre-test/post-test study examined whether Regular Exercise, Dietary Supplements, Effective Food (whol...

Unlocking the potential of Zn-PBA as electrode material for supercapacitor and electrocatalytic applications

Uncertainty-aware digital stratigraphic reconstruction of geotechnical variability using vertically augmented empirical Bayesian Kriging

QbD aided optimization and molecular docking of pH-sensitive hydrogels for targeted colon delivery in ulcerative colitis

Oral formulations of aminosalicylates are widely used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), but their efficacy is limited by low absorption and bioavailability due to first-pass metabolism and gastric degradation. pH-sensitive hydrogels were formulated for colon-targeted, delayed drug release to address this con...

Today, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) manages business process spanning sales, support, and marketing creating effective customer interactions. Given the purpose of CR...

IMPACT OF PREOPERATIVE ANXIETY ON HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS IN COUNSELLED VERSUS NON-COUNSELLED PATIENTS UNDERGOING GENERAL SURGERY IN NORTHWEST GENERAL HOSPITAL AND RESEARCH CENTER

Background: Anxiety is a natural response to surgery and anesthesia depending to various factors and manifesting different effects on patients. The aim of this study was to find out counselling effect on anxiety levels and hemodynamic parameters of patients. Also to find out whether counselled patients manage their anx...

Lyapunov-Based Stability Analysis of Adaptive Neural-Network Controllers for Nonlinear Perturbed Systems

A Lyapunov-based framework for stability analysis and synthesis of adaptive neural-network (NN) controllers for a class of uncertain second-order nonlinear systems (SNS) with bounded external perturbations and unmodelled dynamics is presented. Online learning is employed for the reconstruction of the plant nonlinearity...

Structure-Based identification of potent dengue virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitors using integrated computational workflow

An integrated computational workflow was applied to identify potential inhibitors of dengue virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) after screening of approximately 9,900 bioactive compounds through structure-based virtual screening and molecular docking, supporting these compounds as promising RdRp inhibitors.

Investigating Chaos and Exact Solutions in Electromagnetic Wave Dynamics Governed by the Time-Fractional Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson Equation

Nonlinear electromagnetic wave propagation in complex plasma environments has attracted considerable attention due to its important applications in nonlinear optics, plasma physics, space science, and communication technologies. In the present study, a time-fractional Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson equation (DSWE) is investi...
