Berberine as a Mitochondrial Metabolic Reprogrammer in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD): Adaptive Energetic Stress, Quality Control, and Translational Limitations

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, including altered oxidative phosphorylation, disrupted fatty-acid oxidation, redox imbalance, abnormal mitochondrial dynamics, and impaired quality control. Berberine...

Nano-eggshell/B(III)as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 1,3-oxazines in aqueous media, along with DFT simulations

In the present study, a convenient and greener synthesis of a series of naphtho[1,2- e ][1,3]oxazines was accomplished via three-component one-pot cyclocondensation between β -naphthol, formaldehyde, and various amines using nano-eggshell/B(III) as a natural catalyst in aqueous m...

Bony labyrinth taxonomic identification and long-term evolution of livestock in the Southwest and Central Asia

Abstract Southwest and Central Asia were pivotal regions for the domestication and dispersal of domestic herbivores. Here we investigate long-term variation in bony labyrinth morphology of domestic bovids (sheep, goats and cattle) across the last 10 000 years. We focused on the o...

Enhancing the surface integrity and wear resistance of selective Laser melted Ti-6Al-4 V via ultrasonic shot peening: A parametric study

In this study, the effects of ultrasonic shot peening (USP) on the surface properties and mechanical performance of Ti-6Al-4 V samples fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) were systematically investigated. The samples were treated with SiC and WC shot media, varying in dia...

ZIF‐8‐Based Solid‐Phase Extraction Coupled With Derivative UV‐Vis Spectrophotometry for Rapid Simultaneous Determination of Hesperidin and Naringin in Citrus Peels

In this study, a rapid and highly sensitive analytical method was developed for the simultaneous extraction and quantification of hesperidin (HES) and naringin (NAR) from citrus peels, effectively valorizing agro‐food industrial waste. For the first time, ZIF‐8 was employed as a...

Sonochemical synthesis of TmVO4/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic dye degradation

Herein, a TmVO 4 /CoFe 2 O 4 (TV-CF) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via a CTAB-assisted sonochemical method and evaluated for its structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties. The crystal structure results confirmed the formation of tetragonal TmVO 4 and cubic s...

The free vibration and supersonic flutter analyses of a three-directional functionally graded conical panel in a thermal environment

In the present study, free vibration and aeroelastic stability (flutter) analyses are investigated for a three-directional functionally graded material (FGM) conical panel subjected to a yawed supersonic fluid flow in a thermal environment. It is assumed that the material is fabr...

Post-quantum lightweight cryptographic algorithm for secure real-time decision-making in distributed optimization networks

Abstract The imminent threat posed by quantum computing to classical cryptographic systems necessitates the development of quantum-resistant, efficient, and scalable encryption techniques, especially for real-time distributed optimization networks critical to national infrastruct...

Social Critique of Mother (2017): Woman, Earth, and Sacred Rage

Mother! is an allegory in which the house is the Earth and the film's nameless woman is Mother Nature. Jennifer Lawrence herself has said that the film "depicts the rape and torment of Mother Earth"; her character represents the planet Earth, and Javier Bardem, in the role of "Hi...

Experimental mechanical performance and optimized micromechanical modeling of almond and pistachio bio-waste-reinforcement glass-epoxy composites

The increasing need for sustainable and economical composite materials is driving interest in replacing traditional synthetic fillers with eco-friendly, bio-based reinforcements. The cumulative effects of agricultural waste microparticles, particle size, post-curing processes, ma...

Phytochemical characterization and preliminary antimicrobial evaluation of a mono- and sesquiterpene-rich essential oil of Salvia limbata C.A.Mey.

Understanding how chemotype and geographic origin influence essential oil composition and bioactivity is crucial for the identification of new plant-derived antimicrobials. In this study, the essential oil obtained from aerial parts of Salvia limbata C.A.Mey., collected in May 20...
