The effects of leadership styles and work environment on employee retention in Uganda’s public sector through organizational commitment

Public sector firms struggle with retaining talented staff, particularly in resource-constrained settings. The study is based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and on organizational commitment and leadership theories to examine the joint influence of the work environment,...

Advancements and challenges in lithium–oxygen battery technology: A comprehensive overview

Lithium–oxygen (Li–O₂) batteries are attractive beyond-lithium-ion systems because oxygen is stored outside the positive electrode and the Li₂O₂-forming reaction provides a theoretical specific energy of approximately 3500 Wh kg⁻¹ when oxygen is excluded from the carried mass. Th...

Thermodynamics and Unbinding Kinetics of A22 at Multiple Actin-Binding Sites Revealed by Enhanced Sampling Simulations

Abstract The cytoskeletal protein plays a major role in various cellular processes. Understanding the interactions of small molecules with cytoskeletal protein therefore might help in the development of therapeutics. Employing combined molecular docking, all-atom molecular dynami...
