Multifunctional nanosilver-reinforced biocomposite coatings for metallic surface protection

Stainless steel 316L is widely used for biomedical implants because of its high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and durability; however, its relatively bioinert surface requires modification to improve biological interaction and osseointegration. In this study, multifu...

Implicit boundaries are remembered better than non-boundaries in statistical learning

Changes in temporal context have been shown to impact episodic memory of the "boundary" items involved in creating this temporal context. However, in most prior studies, changes in temporal context have been operationalised explicitly, typically through perceptually obvious visua...

Combined effects of difenoconazole and salinity stress on growth, photosynthetic pigments, and oxidative responses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Environmental contamination by pesticides and salts is a growing agricultural issue, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Difenoconazole (DIF), a commonly used fungicide, and sodium chloride (NaCl), a widespread salinity stressor, often coexist in soil and water, yet their c...

Renovating a gas turbine power plant to a cogeneration system for district heating in Algeria: Performance evaluation of the upgraded CHP

This study presents an integrated assessment of waste heat recovery from an existing Algerian gas turbine (GT) power plant retrofitted as a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system for District Heating (DH) applications. Unlike conventional studies that assess thermodynamic performan...
