Design of a highly sensitive plasmonic sensor based on platinum diselenide/blue phosphorene–tungsten disulfide/graphene oxide/aluminium oxide heterostructure for the detection of uric acid concentration

Abstract Conventional biosensors often suffer from reduced long-term performance because they rely on bio-recognition elements, such as enzymes and antibodies, which degrade over time. This study proposes a label-free heterostructured surface plasmon resonance-based sensor for hi...

Innovative development of an advanced machine learning modeling for predicting compressive strength of graphene-infused concrete: a SHAP and PDP approach

The quasi-brittle response of cementitious materials continues to limit their structural efficiency, necessitating advanced reinforcement strategies. While conventional fibers improve mechanical performance, the emergence of graphene-based nanomaterials offers new opportunities t...

Micro to nano-scale insights into a passive biomineralization pathway for developing a gate-to-gate carbon-negative bio-hybrid composite from lithium slag

Abstract The urgent need to decarbonize concrete is hindered by the scarcity of conventional supplementary cementitious materials. Here, we report a novel, passive biomineralization pathway to transform lithium slag into a functional carbon‑negative bio‑hybrid composite for susta...

Cross‐Cancer Profiling of CDH1 Reveals Context‐Dependent EMT Decoupling, Immune Heterogeneity, and Prognostic Variability in Epithelial Cancers

ABSTRACT Cadherin 1 ( CDH1 ) encodes E‐cadherin, a key epithelial adhesion molecule traditionally associated with tumor suppression and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, its roles across cancers remain incompletely understood, particularly within multilayer regula...

Thermo-hydraulic performance improvement of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger using perforated double-segmental baffles: A comparative CFD investigation

This study numerically investigates the thermo-hydraulic performance of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (STHX) with three different baffle arrangements: conventional single-segmental (CSS), perforated double-segmental (PDS), and modified geometric baffle (MGB). Three-dimensional,...

Evaluating the strength and compressibility of kaolin clay stabilized with polypropylene columns

Abstract Building infrastructure on soft soil presents significant difficulties due to the soil’s high compressibility, low load-bearing capacity, and tendency for lateral deformation.Granular column techniques may decrease settlement in weak and soft soils by improving bearing c...

Design and engineering of layered double hydroxide-based composites for efficient wastewater treatment

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), often referred to as hydrotalcite components, have gained popularity as wastewater treatment solutions due to their distinct lamellar structure, changeable metal arrangement, excellent anion exchange efficiency, and notable memory effect. However...

Effects of baffle configurations on heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger: A numerical approach

In the present study, four heat exchanger configurations of shell-side circular and hexagonal tube arrangements with segmental and staggered baffles are considered for the assessment of the heat-transfer performance on the shell side. A steady, pressure-based ANSYS Fluent 2020 R1...
