Synthesis of Novel 6-N-Aryl/heteroarylethylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-3-carboxamides: Bioisosteric Development of Bacillamide Analogues

Marine microorganisms constitute a prolific source of structurally unique secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities. Bacillamide A (1), a thiazole-containing tryptamide alkaloid, was...

Mobile-based digital technology adoption, gender, livelihood diversification, and poverty reduction in the Global South: a scoping review

Abstract The adoption of mobile phones in this century is essential for enhancing inclusion in access to livelihood assets and facilitating information flow, which are vital for improving income and reducing poverty in the Global South. However, there are insufficient efforts to...

A review and synthesis of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research’s work on climate-induced extreme rainfall and floods, 2012–2023

In recent decades, the increased frequency of extreme rainfall events has significantly affected agri-food systems, accounting for 19% of the total crop damage across the world and 18–43% of observed anomalies in global crop yields. Some studies indicate a global weighted mean ri...

Network Analysis of Ct-Derived Molecular Resistance Marker Pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Deciphering Drug-Resistance Architectures in Rural Eastern Cape, South Africa

Background Drug-resistant tuberculosis remains a major public health challenge, particularly in high-burden settings where rapid characterization of resistance patterns is important for surveillance. Molecular diagnostics routinely detect resistance-associated targets, but these...

An Enhanced Rule-Based Energy Management System with Integrated Route and Environmental Information for Battery–Supercapacitor Hybrid Electric Vehicles

In this paper, a route- and environment-aware rule-based energy management system (EMS) strategy for EVs equipped with HESSs consisting of a lithium-ion battery and a supercapacitor is proposed. The proposed rule-based EMS integrates driving mode classification, traffic condition...
