Shared patterns of human milk composition link mammary gland function to infant growth

The mammary gland produces nutrient-rich human milk (HM), yet how mammary functional state shapes HM composition and infant outcomes remains poorly understood. We used HM multi-omics - metabolomics, proteomics, micronutrients, macronutrients, and HM oligosaccharides - across 1,54...

Association of 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 polymorphism with escitalopram induced adverse effects in Pakistani patients of Major Depressive Disorder

Inter-individual variability in adverse effects to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) remains a major challenge in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Functional genetic variation in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4), particularly 5-HTTLPR and rs2...

Lead-free Cs2MH6 (M = Ge, Sn) vacancy-ordered double perovskites for optoelectronic applications: a first-principles study

Abstract Lead-free vacancy-ordered double perovskite hydrides are gaining attention as environmentally friendly materials for next-generation optoelectronic applications. In this work, first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to systematically in...

Performance Assessment of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Dry-Processed Waste Cooking Oil Granulates

Abstract The consumption of waste cooking oil (WCO) as a bitumen modifier offers a sustainable route for waste valorization, yet challenges persist concerning stability and mechanical performance at high content. This study explores the performance of asphalt mixtures containing...

Experimental and numerical evaluation of heat transfer and pressure drop using acid-functionalized titanium dioxide nanofluids in separation flow passage

Nanofluids have progressively gained popularity as thermodynamic fluids due to their intriguing qualities in terms of thermal conductivity. Though the nanofluids have gained greater attention in heat-transfer applications, their suspension stability is still not resolved, especia...

Numerical Assessment of Seismic Performance of a Lead-Rubber Base-Isolated RC Frame under Site-Specific Earthquake Excitations: A Case Study of Quetta, Pakistan

Quetta lies in one of Pakistan's most seismically active regions, where the Building Code of Pakistan (BCP-2007) assigns a design ground acceleration of 0.32 g and UBC-97 Seismic Zone 4 is adopted as the design basis. Despite this hazard, location-specific research on sei...
