Morphology-Controlled rGO−ZnO Nanostructures for Efficient Charge Transport and Visible Light Sensing via Schottky Junctions

Abstract Two-dimensional graphene-based nanocomposites have emerged as promising materials for electronic and optoelectronic device applications. In this study, ZnO and reduced graphene oxide-ZnO (rGO−ZnO) nanocomposites were synthesized via a facile solvothermal approach. Their...

Isolation, characterization, and in silico analysis of a bioactive compound citrinin from Aspergillus terreus (OP480427) with antagonistic activity against the toxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus (OP600575)

The study investigates the antifungal potential of citrinin, the bioactive compound isolated from Aspergillus terreus (OP480427), against aflatoxin-producing fungi isolated from wheat rhizospheric soil and its ability to interfere with aflatoxin biosynthesis. Citrinin, purified u...

Input-Endpoint Compactness and Essential Distances for Weighted Bilinear Hardy-Steklov Operators

We study weighted bilinear Hardy-Steklov operators with finite output exponent and at least one input exponent equal to one or infinity. For continuous increasing moving windows, we prove local finite-rank approximation and identify the distances to compact and finite-rank biline...

Essential Norms of Hardy Operators into $L^\infty$ on Irregular Supports, with Bilinear Applications

We study the Hardy operator $T_hf(x)=\int_a^x h(r)f(r) dr$ from scalar $L^1(a,c)$ into $L^\infty(S)$, where $S$ is an arbitrary measurable output set, $c=\operatorname{ess\,sup} S$, and $h$ is nonnegative and essentially bounded. We identify the essential norm, the distance to fi...

Essential Norms of Bilinear Hardy–Steklov Operators from L¹×Lᵖ to L∞

We study weighted complex-bilinear Hardy–Steklov maps from L¹×Lᵖ, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, and the factor-swapped spaces to literal L∞((0,∞),dx). The moving intervals have differentiable strictly increasing boundaries with the usual endpoint limits. The local dual-exponent admissibility of the...

Incidence Geometry and L∞ Essential Norms of Bilinear Hardy–Steklov Operators

We study weighted bilinear Hardy–Steklov operators whose moving intervals have differentiable strictly increasing endpoints, with both endpoints tending to zero and infinity at the corresponding ends of the half-line. For complex inputs in the exact sector 1 < p₁, p₂ ≤ ∞ and lite...

Women's Empowerment in the Digital Age: A Systematic Literature Review Using TCCM and ADO Frameworks

As Article 14 (Right to Equality) and Article 15 (Prohibition of Discrimination) of Indian constitution guarantees empowerment of women in India, several policies are aimed for them advancement since the inception of the five year plans. The Govt. of India generated national poli...

Decoding mobile payment adoption in the unorganized sector: the mediating role of merchant trust in a digital shift

The shift to cashless transactions has accelerated due to the quick growth of digital payment infrastructures in India. Due to technological, psychological, and security-related issues, acceptance of mobile payment systems among merchants in the unorganized retail sector remains...

Underrecognized routes of microplastic exposure in gestating women and neonates – A focused review on sources, risks, alternative interventions and control

During the critical phases of pregnancy, plastic exposure imposes risks to the health of the mother and the developing embryo. Recent reports revealing the occurrence of Microplastics (MPs) in different body fluids, including blood, urine, and sputum, have left the scientific com...

Cross‐Kingdom Siderophores: Biosynthesis, Ecology, and Biotechnological Applications

ABSTRACT Microbial siderophores are high‐affinity iron‐binding compounds which are produced by bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes to obtain iron and survive and interact with different species in an iron‐deficient environment. While the conventional research on siderophore system...

Enhancing wear resistance of tool steel materials for industrial automobile component using cryogenic treatment

The durability of sheet metal punching tools depends largely on their wear resistance and frictional behaviour during service. Deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) has emerged as an effective post-heat-treatment process for improving the tribological performance of tool steels. This st...

Prediction of cardiovascular disease by using a genetic algorithm over a stacked ensemble model

A two-layer customized ensemble model is suggested in this work to improve the prediction accuracy of cardiovascular disease. Two ensemble classifiers are stacked as part of the model architecture. While Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Decision Tree (DT) are used as base learner...
