Enhancing Cellulose Reactivity in Textile Waste via Cold-Alkali Swelling

Global fiber demand is rising rapidly, yet less than 1% of discarded textiles are recycled into new materials. Here, cold-alkali swelling followed by acid reprecipitation was investigated as a pretreatment to improve cellulose accessibility and reactivity in textile-waste feedsto...

Tinea capitis in the Americas: Epidemiological Trends and Etiological Distribution from a Systematic Review

Background: Tinea capitis remains one of the most common superficial fungal infections in children worldwide and represents an important public health concern due to its high prevalence, potential complications, and changing epidemiology. This study aimed to characterize the epid...

Perylenediimide Halogen Substitution-Modulated Photochromism and Photocatalytic Activity in Metal−Organic Frameworks

Abstract Perylenediimides (PDIs), which feature strong visible-light absorption, π-electron-deficient planes, and photochemical characteristics, offer a versatile platform for developing tunable and efficient metal−organic framework (MOF) materials through modulation of their bay...

Six Sigma application in the aerospace and aviation industry: A case study

This study examines the application of the Six Sigma Define–Measure–Analyze–Improve–Control (DMAIC) methodology to reduce weld seam and internal structural defects in titanium tube welding within the aerospace and aviation industry. A case study approach was conducted in an aeros...

Simultaneous Determination of Total and Unbound Amphotericin B by LC–MS/MS: Application to Protein Binding Analysis

ABSTRACT Amphotericin B (AmB), a first‐line antifungal agent, is highly protein‐bound, and its efficacy and toxicity are primarily determined by the unbound fraction. However, current therapeutic drug monitoring mainly relies on total plasma concentrations, and clinical data on u...

A Head-to-Head Comparison of Three Literature Algorithms for Physical Activity Endpoints from a Wrist Accelerometer in Free-Living Conditions

Wrist accelerometers are widely used in clinical trials for continuous assessment of participants’ day-to-day physical activity and function, through derivation of metrics such as time spent in sedentary, non-sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Mu...

A Review ofAmmonia (NH3) Adsorption inPorous Solids

Abstract Ammonia (NH3) plays a crucial role in the agricultural sector as a fertilizer and is a dense hydrogen carrier that offers a potential renewable and carbon-free energy source. These significant advantages necessitate the development of efficient NH3 synthesis and separati...

The impact of work from home on urban expansion: a GIS simulation via an intelligent self-adapting multiscale agent-based model

Urban land use is increasingly shaped by evolving work modalities, particularly the rise of Work from Home (WFH) arrangements. This study introduces a hybrid Artificial Neural Network – Agent-Based Modeling (ANN – ABM) framework to simulate urban expansion under differentiated wo...

The Dual Burden of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Tuberculosis among Key Populations in Nigeria: Implications for Integrated Care

Abstract Background: Key populations (KPs), including Men Who Have Sex with Men, Female Sex Workers, and People Who Inject Drugs, experience a disproportionately high burden of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) due to stigma, discrimination, and limited acc...

AI-Enabled Non-Invasive Anaemia Detection: Techniques, Challenges, and Future Directions

This review examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for non-invasive anaemia detection across multiple physiological modalities. It reviews image-based approaches, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transfer learning applied to palpebral conjunctiva, reti...

Has hydrological alteration driven ecosystem service risks in large floodplain lakes? A novel framework for spatiotemporal assessment and hydrological thresholds identification

Study region Poyang Lake, China’s largest freshwater lake, is a critical ecological hub. Study focus Hydrological alteration strongly affects floodplain ecosystem services (ES), yet their spatiotemporal risks and hydrological controls remain poorly understood. We developed an int...

Integrated Physiological and Transcriptomic Analyses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Under Syringaldehyde Stress

Syringaldehyde is a major lignin-derived inhibitor in lignocellulosic hydrolysates that affects growth, metabolism, and ethanol fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae; however, the mechanisms underlying its toxicity and cellular adaptation remain poorly understood. In this stud...

Tramadol Co‐Administration with Oxycodone or Hydrocodone Increases Opioid Burden without Improving Postoperative Pain Control

Tramadol is frequently co-prescribed with oxycodone or hydrocodone after surgery under the assumption that its dual mechanism of action provides an opioid-sparing benefit. However, evidence supporting this practice is limited and inconsistent. We conducted a secondary analysis of...

Innovative School Leadership Approaches to Bullying Prevention and Conflict Management in Greek

Abstract : School bullying remains one of the most critical challenges facing secondary education, affecting students’ well-being, academic engagement, and the overall school climate. As school leaders play a pivotal role in creating safe and inclusive learning environments, this...

HALLYU IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IN SOUTH KOREA'S CULTURAL DIPLOMACY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA IN THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY

Abstract: The Korean Wave (Hallyu) has become one of South Korea's most influential soft power assets, significantly enhancing the country's cultural presence and diplomatic engagement across Southeast Asia. While previous studies have primarily examined the popularity and socio-...

E8-Phi Topological Resonance Cascade — E8 Intelligence Research

Leveraging the 132 Hz sexagesimal lattice, we embed each of the 240 E8 roots into a multi‑layer resonance cascade where phi‑scaled eigenvalues gate coupling between antipodal pairs, enabling deterministic entanglement transfer across cascades. This mechanism extends the E8‑Phi En...

Kinetic Interactions Between the Emerging Pollutant Tungsten(VI), Hydrogen Peroxide, and Biological Amino Acids

ABSTRACT The kinetics of the reduction of tungstate ion by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous media containing phosphate ions, both in the absence and presence of amino acids as oxidizable organic substrates, have been monitored spectrophotometrically at 225–230 nm. Three long‐lived tu...

Using PTL Architecture and Surface Chemistry to Control the Nucleation, Distribution, and Morphology of Self-Supported PGM-Free AEM Cathodes
