1,4-Dioxane as a Sacrificial Radical Buffer Enables Pd-Catalyzed Regioselective C2 Acylation of Indolyl Ketoximes: Access to 2,3-Diacylindoles and Indole-Fused Heterocycles

Abstract Pd-catalyzed regioselective C2 acylation of indoles has been achieved using a C3-ketoxime directing group and glyoxal/aldehydes. The protocol provides C2 acylated indoles with high selectivity and enables one-pot access to indole-fused pyridazines and 2,3-diacylindoles....

Towards sustainable 3D concrete printing: influence of waste foundry sand on rheology and printability of OPC–LC2 systems

Concrete demand depletes natural resources and increases CO2 emissions; simultaneously, industrial waste causes land pollution. Using waste foundry sand (FS) and low-carbon limestone calcined clay (LC2) offers a sustainable solution to these challenges. In this study, quartz sand...

A note on the equivalence of Gromov boundary and metric boundary

We introduce the concept of quasihyperbolically visible spaces. As a tool, we study the connection between the Gromov boundary and the metric boundary.

Impingement heat transfer performance of a square turbulent jet modified by slotted orifice synthetic jets

Active flow control using synthetic jets has gained significant attention in recent times for enhancing impingement cooling, primarily through jet vectoring, vortex manipulation, and mixing enhancement. However, the fundamental question of whether significant thermal enhancement...

Intrinsic Electric Field Driven High Sensitive Photodetection in Alloy TMDC MoSSe

ABSTRACT Alloying offers an effective way to improve the functionality of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in both fundamental research and optoelectronic applications, as it allows for engineering their electronic and optical properties. This study investigates the optoe...

Uncertainties at the IT Project Bidding Stage: A Socio‐Technical Perspective on the Sources of Uncertainties From the Vendor's Perspective

ABSTRACT Given the competitiveness within the information technology (IT) services market, organizations increasingly outsource projects via bidding. The bidding process is subject to several uncertainties for both the customer (outsourcer) and IT vendor (outsourced) organization...

Insights into Microbiota–Vaccine Crosstalk in Humans: Mechanisms, Modulators, and Translational Horizons

Vaccine responses differ substantially among individuals and across populations. Although factors such as age, genetics, and vaccine type are recognized contributors, they do not fully explain this heterogeneity. Emerging evidence suggests that the human microbiota, particularly...

Synergistic adsorption of anionic and cationic dyes using commingled food waste biochar from microwave-assisted pyrolysis

Abstract Biochar is a versatile carbon-rich material with multifaceted applications in environmental remediation, sustainable agriculture, waste valorization, carbon sequestration, and energy systems, and is particularly valued as a highly effective and tunable adsorbent for the...

Single bi-functional flexible sensor device for simultaneous pH and oxygen monitoring during pre-transplant normothermic perfusion

Monitoring of organ health and tissue damage through real-time sensing of chemical parameters such as pH and oxygen concentration could provide helpful information in the field of solid organ transplantation. Several sensors have been developed to detect oxygen concentrations and...

Direct Observation of Propagating Spin Waves in a Spin Hall Nano‐Oscillator

Constriction-based spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs) show great promise for application as highly tunable microwave sources with straightforward scalability toward large coupled networks. However, details of the magnetization dynamics within SHNOs have thus far not been addresse...

Brief communication: Towards defining the worst-case breach scenarios and potential flood volumes for moraine-dammed lake outbursts

Abstract. Moraine dam failures are the main source of catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The effective GLOF disaster risk management requires reliable identification of areas at risk. While predictive outburst flood modelling benefits from advancing tools and comp...

Integrating Mixed Reality with Key Digital Technologies for Elevating On-Site Construction Efficiency: An Integrative Review and Framework

Abstract The global architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector faces a persistent productivity paradox characterized by stagnant growth, frequent schedule overruns, and slow digital adoption. While the emergence of Construction 4.0 introduces automation and data ana...

Reversible Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal PolymorphicTransformation and Other Solid-State Adaptations in the Landscapeof Molecular Complexes of 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic Acid with 1,3-Bis(4-pyridyl)propane

Abstract 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic acid (1) and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (a), together in a 1:1 molar ratio, form a wide range of cocrystals in variable compositions, depending upon the crystallization process and the solvent of crystallization. For example, at room temperature (RT), C...

Technoeconomic Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment of Soft Drink Industry Wastewater Using a Microwave Photocatalysis System

Abstract Microwave-assisted photocatalysis (MWPC) for treating soft drink industry wastewater is evaluated in this study against microwave oxidation (MWO), photocatalysis (PC), and oxidation. MWPC achieved the highest total organic carbon (TOC) removal (87.09%), outperforming MWO...

Systematic review of climate-induced temperature rise impacts on agricultural households

Abstract Climate change is causing temperatures to rise and is affecting the underdeveloped and developing nations, especially marginalised communities more severely than others. Due to constant heat exposure, farmers remain the most severely affected by the rise in temperature....
