Synthesis and computational evaluation of novel indazole-based benzamide derivatives as anti-tubercular agents via DFT, molecular docking studies

A series of indazole-based benzamide derivatives (6a–6p) were synthesized via amide cross-coupling reactions and characterized using FTIR, NMR, and HRMS techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) studies were performed to investigate the electroni...

Cognitive and Affective Correlates of Handedness: Interactions with Gender Dysphoria and Rumination

Background The adversities and inheritance patterns of left-handedness have been associated with gender-related distress. Such driving factors predispose individuals to multiple mental health outcomes, shifting attention to the role of ruminative thinking. Purpose The study seeks...

Explainability-driven adaptive cyber deception control system for autonomous network defense

The increasing sophistication of cyber threats has led to the identification of some major shortcomings associated with honeypots, which include staticness, inflexibility, and vulnerability to fingerprinting. The proposed work aims at overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings by...

Enhanced ionic conductivity in a sustainable eucalyptus gum-chitosan biopolymer electrolyte for electrochemical device applications

Polymer electrolytes, owing to their distinct characteristics, present a viable alternative to liquid electrolytes in batteries. This study presents a biodegradable polymer electrolyte membrane composed of a blend of eucalyptus gum (EG), chitosan (CS), and ammonium thiocyanate (A...

Public expenditure, economic growth and research investment effects on higher education enrollment in India and Saudi Arabia using panel CS ARDL analysis

This study empirically examines the effects of public expenditure, economic growth, and research investment on higher education enrollment in India and Saudi Arabia over 2000–2021. Employing a comparative panel framework, the analysis utilizes Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregr...

Kinetically controlled shock-wave route to turbostratic boron-carbon-nitride nanosheets

Turbostratic boron carbon nitride (tBCN) is highly attractive for energy storage and catalysis owing to its rotationally disordered stacking and expanded interlayer spacing, yet direct synthesis of tBCN with high in-plane crystallinity remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate th...
