A comparative study on the effects of clove oil, flaxseed oil, and almond oil as an additive on the lubricating characteristics of chemically modified used coconut oil

Abstract Lubrication is widely associated with contact surfaces having relative motion to decrease friction and wear. The majority of locally available lubricants have petroleum products as a base, which are toxic to the environment. The excess usage of petroleum products is also...

Enhanced Mechanical, Barrier, and Cross‐Linking Characteristics of Epoxy/Reduced Graphene Oxide/Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube/ Fe 2 O 3 Hybrid Nanocomposites

ABSTRACT Epoxy nanocomposites reinforced with conducting and magnetic nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention as promising multifunctional materials because of their superior electrical, thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties. In this work, graphene oxide was syn...

Improved BOD Modelling Using the FOLD Approach for Wastewater Treatment Design

ABSTRACT Accurate modelling of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is critical for wastewater treatment system design. This study aims to compare the classical first‐order model with the fractional‐order logistic decay (FOLD) model in predicting BOD kinetics. The models were applied...

Microstructure and mechanical properties of bimetallic austenitic stainless steel 317 L/inconel 686 fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing

This study investigated the feasibility of fabricating a bimetallic structure composed of austenitic stainless steel (SS317L) and the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 686 using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)-based Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). The microstructural evolution...

Explainable AI in Healthcare: A Comparative Analysis of Interpretability Techniques for Clinical Decision Support Systems

Artificial intelligence has made a great impact on healthcare by providing accurate disease diagnosis, personalised treatment regimens, and efficient clinical decision making. But many of the advanced machine learning and deep learning models are black-box systems, and healthcare...

IoT-Based Smart Universal Finder: An Intelligent BLE and Cloud-Enabled Multi-Object Tracking System for Everyday Belongings

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed conventional devices into intelligent interconnected systems, creating new opportunities for solving everyday challenges through smart technologies. One common problem faced by individuals is the frequent misplaceme...

Necrotizing Pneumonia due to Nocardia farcinica in an Immunocompetent Host

Nocardiosis is a rare, serious infection caused by Nocardia species, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals. It commonly presents as pulmonary disease, often mimicking tuberculosis or bacterial pneumonia. Nocardia farcinica , although less common than Nocardia asteroid...

Spectroscopic profiling of cell free supernatant from Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus and Limosilactobacillus fermentum and evaluation of their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria under varying conditions

Spoilage microorganisms and food borne pathogens are major public health concerns causing enormous economic losses globally. The organoleptic qualities of food products are frequently altered in an undesired way by conventional food preservation techniques. Lactic acid bacteria (...

Adsorption studies of methylene blue dye using cellulose based adsorbents of invasive weed plants: optimization and mechanistic insights

Water pollution from industrial dye effluents poses a significant environmental challenge, and adsorption has emerged as an efficient and eco-friendly remediation strategy. This study investigated cellulose-derived adsorbents, Cellulose Nanoparticle Dialdehyde (CNPD) and Cellulos...
