Phytofabrication and biological assessment of selenium nanoparticles using Crataegus songarica extract

In this study, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were successfully synthesized using a green approach with Crataegus songarica K. Koch aqueous extract, which served as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The formation of SeNPs was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, which exhibi...

Co-Occurrence and Interactions of Microplastics and Heavy Metals in Agricultural Soils: A Review

Agricultural soils are increasingly affected by the co-occurrence of heavy metals (HMs) and microplastics (MPs), but the conditions governing their combined behavior, metal mobility and bioavailability, remain insufficiently understood. This review synthesizes evidence on the co-...

Effect of Acute Neuromuscular Fatigue on Dynamic Inter-Limb Asymmetry in Clinical and Athletic Populations: A Systematic Review

Abstract Background: Neuromuscular fatigue may reveal inter-limb differences that stay hidden in rested testing, yet return-to-sport batteries are usually completed unfatigued. Evidence on how acute fatigue changes dynamic inter-limb asymmetry has not been systematically synthesi...

Improved photocatalytic water-splitting efficiency and superior optoelectronic aspects in a lead free CsRbGe(Cl,Br)6: Strain engineering

The realization of a sustainable fuel economy rests squarely on the development of earth-abundant, robust photocatalysts. Despite the remarkable optoelectronic performance of lead-halide perovskites, their commercial viability remains fundamentally obstructed by two persistent li...

A study on the synthesis and characterization of maleate-functionalized Artemisia vulgaris hydrogel for Ni(II) adsorption from groundwater: mechanism, kinetics, and reusability

Life on Earth is at risk due to widespread pollution from industrialization and human activities. The presence of harmful heavy metal ions in drinking water sources is amongst the key pollutants that require immediate remediation. The seeds of the Artemisia vulgaris plant were us...

Mapping the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies in sustainable tourism: a bibliometric study

Purpose The role of Industry 4.0 technologies in developing sustainable tourism has been gaining importance progressively. This study aims to investigate the potential role of Industry 4.0 technologies (immersive technologies, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, b...

Genome-wide characterization and expression divergence of germin-like protein (GLP) family in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in response to abiotic stress conditions

Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major fiber crop that serves as the foundation of the global fiber industry. Abiotic stresses (including drought, high temperature, and salinity) have become prevalent due to climate change. Several gene families involved in various physiologi...

LC-MS analysis, In-vitro & in-silico antioxidant potential and cosmeceutical application of Crocus sativus (saffron)

The skin, a prominent organ undergoing noticeable changes over time, serves as a model for unravelling ageing complexities. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to intrinsic ageing, emphasising the need for interventions targeting skin health. This research highlights the Cro...

Run-length performance of AE-I and AE-II mean charts under phase-I parameter estimation

Adaptive exponentially weighted moving average charts are effective tools for detecting small-to-moderate shifts in a process mean. In practical applications, however, the incontrol mean and standard deviation are usually unknown and must be estimated from Phase I data before Pha...

Wave dynamics of Data-Driven soliton interaction for the nonlinear Bubble liquid model in complex fluid systems using Symbolic based Artificial Neural Network approach

In this article, we investigate the wave dynamics for solitons to the nonlinear bubble liquid model by applying the novel bilinear neural network approach. This equation has applications in complex fluid systems, fluid mechanics, geophysical flows, acoustic activation, and biomed...

Nanoparticle-mediated drought resilience in cereal crops from physiological modulation to sustainable agronomic translation
