Thermal and Morphological Analysis of Biocomposite From Multilayer Plastic Waste and Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber

ABSTRACT Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), a byproduct of the palm oil industry, have great potential in the circular economy, particularly for composite material production. Multilayer plastic waste from the bottled water industry presents significant environmental challenge...

Thermally modulated dual-heteroatom (S,P) doping of Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene toward advanced symmetric supercapacitors

Supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted considerable interest owing to their high-power density, rapid charge/discharge capability, exceptional cycle stability, and resilience under challenging conditions. Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, a two-dimensional material, has demonstrated significant...

Validity of Using Artificial Intelligence to Predict Skeletal Maturation in Orthodontic Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract This systematic review aimed to evaluate the performance and clinical validation of artificial intelligence (AI) and rule-based methods for skeletal maturation assessment using cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) and hand–wrist radiography. The review was conducted in ac...

The role of equatorial juvenile arcs in the Middle Triassic seawater 87Sr/86Sr decline during the Pangean “quiet” period

The Middle Triassic (246−235 Ma) seawater 87Sr/86Sr record exhibits an excursion following the recovery from Siberian large igneous province volcanism. Two primary mechanisms have been proposed to explain the isotopic shift: (1) a change in the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the continental...

Design and synthesis of 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine linked chalcone derivatives and their antimalarial activity evaluation

A series of nine triazine-chalcone hybrid compounds (7a–i) were designed and synthesized through a molecular hybridization strategy integrating 1,3,5-triazine and chalcone moieties. The hybrids were synthesized via sequential nucleophilic substitution reactions and characterized...

Exploring the in-vitro evaluation of folic acid-modified gadolinium nanoparticles in HEK-293, HeLa, and KB cancer cells for targeted-MR-imaging agent candidate

Abstract Folic acid (FA)-modified gadolinium nanoparticles are promising candidates for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents due to their high cancer specificity. Therefore, this study aims to modify nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-FA to enhance their bio...

Ultrasound-assisted esterification of levulinic acid for sustainable butyl levulinate production over tin(II)-modified silicotungstic acid supported on activated bentonite

Leveraging ultrasound irradiation and Brønsted–Lewis acid synergy, butyl levulinate (BL), a promising bio-based fuel additive, was synthesized by esterifying levulinic acid (LA) with n -butanol over tin(II)-modified silicotungstic acid supported on activated bentonite (Sn x STA/a...

Unravelling the genomic potential of sponge-associated Streptomyces sp. BLC 17–3 from Indonesia for mannooligosaccharide production

This research aims to show the promising capacity of Streptomyces sp. BLC 17–3 to produce high β-mannanase enzymes and generate mannooligosaccharide (MOS) such as mannobiose, mannotriose, mannotetraose and mannopentaose when exposed to mannan polymers. Streptomyces sp. BLC 17–3 w...

A modelling study of nonlinearity of the cross-shore flow under breaking waves

Abstract A new process-based modelling framework is used to simulate wave-driven flows over a bar in the large-scale SINBAD and LIP11-1C experiments, representing high- and low-wave conditions, respectively. The framework couples an open-source Boussinesq wave model with a one-di...
