Multistep synthesis of novel indole–benzimidazole hydrazone hybrids as xanthine oxidase inhibitors: In-Vitro evaluation, molecular docking, MD simulations and DFT studies

This work reports the synthesis of a focused library of indole-benzimidazole hydrazone hybrids ( 17 - 35 ) via a multistep procedure involving thiolation, hydrazination, and Schiff base condensation. The final structures were confirmed using 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and FT-IR spectrosc...

Green Extraction of Lignin From Date Palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.) Seed Waste and Its Integration Into Alginate‐Based Films With Improved Moisture Resistance, Antioxidant Capacity, and Surface Hydrophobicity for Food Packaging Applications

ABSTRACT The aim of the current study was to extract lignin‐rich fraction from date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.) seeds and evaluate its application as a filler in sodium alginate‐based films for food packaging applications. Lignin was isolated through a sonication‐assisted mild...

Cluster headache care gaps among primary healthcare physicians in the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye: a multinational study

Cluster headache is one of the most severely disabling primary headache disorders and is frequently associated with diagnostic delay, inappropriate treatment, disability, and substantial psychosocial burden. Because primary healthcare (PHC) physicians are commonly the first point...

Systematic review on the health benefits and sensory acceptance of papaya seed powder-enriched millet products

Millet-based products are acknowledged for their nutritional value and role in enhancing sustainable food systems. Because of their high fibre content, vital minerals, and gluten-free qualities, millet-based goods are nutrient-dense and popular. By adding bioactive components wit...

Is AI adoption a pro-environmental choice? Integrating value-belief-norm theory and theory of planned behavior

Purpose Artificial intelligence (AI) could be essential to helping organizations improve efficiency and enable quick, accurate decision-making. This study investigates the adoption behavior of AI technology from an ecological perspective. Using the value-belief-norm (VBN) and the...

Convolution of $\chi$-orbital measures on complex Grassmannians

Let {\scriptsize $SU(p+q)/S(U(p)\times U(q))$} be the Grassmannian of complex $p$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{p+q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers such that $p\geq q \geq 2$. The aim of this paper is to extend the main result in~\cite{anchouche2},~\cite{Alhashami} to t...

Impact of Nutritional and Organoleptic Use of Underutilized Green Leafy Vegetables in Bakery Products: A Systematic Review of Novel Food Applications.

Background The low utilization of green leafy vegetables (GLVs) makes them a nutrient-dense food that is frequently overlooked in the food system. Their integration into baked products may confer nutritional and organizational benefits. However, few studies have addressed their i...

Recent Advances in Microalgae‐Based Functional Coatings and Films for Food Packaging Applications: Opportunities and Challenges

ABSTRACT The increased popularity of sustainable food packaging and its technologies has led to considerable interest in microalgae‐derived functional films and coatings as potential replacements for traditional plastics based on petroleum. The literature in recent years has been...
