ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT IN UZBEKISTAN THROUGH BILATERAL CARBON CREDITING MECHANISMS

Global climate change demands Uzbekistan's strategic transition from the top-down structures of the Kyoto Protocol to the flexible, bottom-up framework of the Paris Agreement. Facing rising temperatures, the nation has established an ambitious goal to significantly reduce greenho...

Decellularized extracellular matrix bioinks through a polymer engineering lens: tissue-source-dependent macromolecular architecture, crosslinking chemistry, rheological behavior, and 3D bioprinting performance

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioinks are widely regarded as one of the more compositionally faithful hydrogel platforms for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in tissue engineering. However, the field still lacks a unified polymer engineering framework that links ti...

Explainable AI-assisted sustainable performance optimization of Nano-enhanced rapeseed oil blends in ci engines for optimized engine operation

This study investigates the influence of advanced fuel injection timing on the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with a rapeseed oil emulsion–pentanol blend (70D25GS5P) supplemented with 150 ppm TiO₂ nanoparticles. Exper...

Systematic evidence review on radiosensitizers and the abscopal effects of radiotherapy

BACKGROUND: The abscopal effect, defined as regression of non-irradiated tumors following localized radiotherapy (RT), is increasingly recognized as an immune-mediated phenomenon. Radiosensitizers may enhance this effect by amplifying radiation-induced immunogenicity and systemic...

Flexural strengthening of RC beams with NSM technique by vertical and inclined orientation of CFRP laminate

Abstract Retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with FRP materials addresses issues of structural deterioration, offering a robust alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This study experimentally investigates the flexural strengthening of RC beams using near-surf...
