The dynamic changes of rumen bacterial and fungal microbiota in free-ranged Gangba plateau sheep

Abstract Gangba sheep is an important sheep breed in Xizang plateau; however, little information is available about its rumen microbiota. This study revealed the composition and characteristics of rumen bacterial and fungal microbiota in free-ranged Gangba sheep. For bacterial an...

Machine learning-accelerated sustainable inverse design of ultra-wideband THz metamaterial absorber

Terahertz absorbers are progressively relevant to sustainable energy and sensing where material and computational efficiency are essential. We demonstrated a six-layer IGIGIM (Insulator–Graphene–Insulator–Graphene–Insulator–Metal) metamaterial absorber that achieves >90% absorpti...

Machine learning-assisted engineering of dual-metal chalcogenide-MXene based composite for enhanced supercapacitor application

Transition-metal chalcogenides (sulfides and phosphides) have been extensively explored with MXene as supercapacitor electrode materials. However, these studies have largely been limited to binary systems (sulfide/MXene or phosphide/MXene), most of which suffer from low conductiv...

Designing Ni3N/CDTs heterostructure for superior alkaline electrochemical activity: Insights from theory to experiment

The creation of efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst are vital for hydrogen energy sustainability. Here, Ni 3 N/CDTs has been synthesized through hydrothermal method that unveils enhanced conductivity, better electronic structure, having greater number of act...

SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION, FEAR OF MISSING OUT, AND FAMILY FUNCTIONING AMONG YOUNG ADULTS: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY

Social media has become an important part of young adults’ daily lives, providing opportunities for communication, entertainment, and social interaction. However, excessive use may lead to social media addiction and increase the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), which can influence rel...

Safety and Metabolic Effects of Withania somnifera Seed Extract and Powder in Rats: Insights From DPP‐4 Molecular Docking

ABSTRACT Withania somnifera seeds remain understudied compared with roots despite increasing nutraceutical use. This study evaluated safety, metabolic effects, and potential DPP‐4 activity of seed extract (WSS‐E) and powder (WSS‐P) in rats. Twenty male Wistar rats were assigned t...

Trace Element Bioavailability Shapes Bacterial Communities and Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Paddy Soils

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a key nitrogen source in paddy soils, yet its spatial variability remains poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a 90-day 15N2 labeling experiment using soils from seven paddy fields in Zhejiang Province, China, to quantify total nitr...

An improved SA-Net framework for multi-class skin disease diagnosis using deep learning and self-attention mechanisms

Skin diseases are among the most common global health concerns, and accurate diagnosis is complicated by the high similarity of symptoms across conditions. This paper proposes an Improved Self-Attention Network (SA-Net) for automatic multi-class skin disease diagnosis, combining...

Microbial biostimulants for plant stress tolerance and climate-resilient agriculture from mechanisms to recent advances and future perspectives

Microbial biostimulants (MBs) are gaining recognition as an essential component of sustainable agriculture due to their ability to enhance crop productivity, improve resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses, and reduce dependence on synthetic agricultural inputs. As global agric...

Thermal regulation of monocrystalline and polycrystalline photovoltaic panels using phase change material for high temperature applications

Thermal regulation of photovoltaic (PV) panels is essential, as electrical efficiency decreases with increasing operating temperature. However, the electrical efficiency of these panels still no reach to maximum level, and authors have investigated various fluids and materials fo...

Comparative Genomic Annotation Gap Analysis: Feed-Efficiency Candidate Genes in Cattle vs. Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Genomic selection tools for feed efficiency have been extensively developed and validated in high-input cattle breeds, but it is unclear whether the same candidate genes are equally well characterized in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), the dominant dairy species across Pakistani...

Pest Management for Transgenic Cotton in Developing Countries: A Troubled Strategy

Abstract Cotton is an economically important crop in many developing regions but arthropod pests cause enormous losses. Frequent application of synthetic insecticides resulted in pest resistance rendering cotton production unprofitable in many countries. The introduction of trans...

Wireless Communication Evolution: A Comprehensive review of the Architecture, Technologies, Applications, Challenges, and Future Prospects of 6G

6G, the sixth generation of wireless communication, is expected to introduce exceptional technologies and use cases that once seemed fictional. Each generation of wireless communication systems has enabled the exchange of messages such as voice, video and other types of data betw...
