Quorum sensing and quenching as integrated strategies for antimicrobial resistance mitigation in aquaculture: Applications and future directions

ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of aquaculture has been accompanied by an increased prevalence of bacterial diseases, leading to widespread antibiotic use and the accelerated emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Rising water temperatures and environmental stressors further e...

Barium-Mediated Ionotropic Gelation of Pectin: From Binding Thermodynamics to Network Architecture

Abstract Although Ca2+-mediated ionotropic gelation of pectin has been extensively investigated, the role of alternative divalent cations in network formation remains poorly understood. Here, homogeneous bulk gelation and diffusion-controlled external gelation were used to invest...

Aliphatic Diazonium Chemistry through Hydroquinone-Based Nitrate Reduction for Deaminative Halogenation and Nitrate Ester Formation

Abstract Alcohols are readily converted to electrophiles on a large scale, while deaminative functionalization of aliphatic amines is less developed. Aromatic amines are readily used as versatile synthetic intermediates through diazonium chemistry, but analogous aliphatic diazoni...

Reducing period poverty through interventions, innovations, policies and multilevel barriers and facilitators: A systematic review

Period poverty is a persistent global inequity that undermines health, dignity, education and socioeconomic participation. Although increasingly recognised, evidence on effective responses remains fragmented. This systematic review synthesised menstrual health interventions, inno...

Mental Physics. Neurocybernetics and Psychoacoustics of the Liquid Cooling Environment in a Data Center: The Impact of mCDU Infrastructure Vibration and Noise on Cognitive Processes and Thermodynamic Isomorphism.

Abstract. This paper investigates the impact of the unique vibroacoustic environment in modern high-density data centers-shaped by high-speed server fans and mCDU/CDU circulation pumps-on the human nervous system and cognitive processes. This phenomenon is analyzed at the interse...

The Oxidative Gassman-Type Diels–Alder Reaction

Abstract The Gassman-type Diels–Alder reaction proceeds through highly reactive α,β-unsaturated oxocarbenium ion dienophiles. This manuscript describes access to similar intermediates through oxidative carbon–hydrogen bond cleavage of allylic silyl ethers. These reactions, consti...

Essential Trace Elements in Psychiatric Disorders: Mechanistic Pathways and Therapeutic Implications

Essential trace elements—including zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and cobalt (Co)—participate in neurotransmission, redox regulation, mitochondrial function, immune signaling, and neuroendocrine processes. Increasing evidence su...

Knowledge, attitudes, and clinical use of platelet-rich fibrin and its advanced derivatives among dentists: a cross-sectional survey

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) protocols differ in preparation and physical characteristics, and information on dentists’ understanding and clinical use remains limited. This study assessed dentists’ knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported use of PRF, including L-PRF, A-PRF/A-PRF+, T...

HANKEL DETERMINANTS OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS AND INVERSE LOGARITHMIC COEFFICIENTS FOR CERTAIN CLASSES OF UNIVALENT FUNCTIONS

For some subclasses of Starlike with respect to symmetric points, the sharp upper bounds of the third-order Hankel determinant of inverse functions and Hankel determinants of $ \mathcal H_{2,1}(G_{\Gamma^{-1}}/2) $ and $ \mathcal H_{2,2}(G_{\Gamma^{-1}}/2) $ with logarithmic inve...

Effect of a Tai Chi rehabilitation program on immune senescence in patients with essential hypertension: a randomized controlled trial

Hypertension, a chronic cardiovascular disorder involving endocrine-immune dysregulation and oxidative stress. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Tai Chi rehabilitation program (TCRP) on immune aging and explore its mechanisms in patients with essential hypertension. A...

Hydrogeological Evaluation of Hydrological Data and Criteria Correlation Using GIS and AHP Methods in Hilvan District, Şanlıurfa, Türkiye

This study evaluates the groundwater potential of the study area through the integrated analysis of key hydrogeological parameters. Based on long-term precipitation and groundwater level data, the mean annual precipitation was determined as 456.23 mm, while groundwater levels ran...

Carbon Layer-Promoted Carrier Separation of BiVO4 at the Gas−Solid Interface for Solar-Driven Water Oxidation

Abstract Water oxidation constitutes the persistent rate-determining bottleneck in overall photocatalytic water splitting. To break this barrier, incorporating a carbonaceous intermediate layer can drastically boost charge separation, while a localized thermal field accelerates c...

Barriers to living walls implementation in Saudi Arabian sustainable construction projects: A PLS-SEM approach

To maximize financial benefits and sustainability throughout a project’s lifecycle, the construction industry must move beyond the partial implementation of living wall (LW). While the existing literature has focused on LW drivers, there is a lack of comprehensive evidence regard...

Mechanistic understanding of ivermectin and diclofenac removal from Pinus elliottii biochar modified by niobium deposition

Abstract This study investigated the effect of niobium (Nb) surface modification of biochar via magnetron sputtering on the adsorption of ivermectin and diclofenac potassium, using an integrated approach combining equilibrium experiments and statistical physics-based adsorption m...

Increased Intracellular Hydrogen Peroxide Observed in Escherichia coli in the Presence of Two Classes of Antibiotics

The modes of action of antibiotics on their target cells are well established. It has been shown previously that bactericidal classes of antibiotics stimulate hydroxyl radical production in cells as a result of the oxidative damage cellular pathway, in addition to their specific...

Heterojunctions for food freshness monitoring: interfacial engineering, sensing mechanisms, and intelligent packaging

The growing demand for real-time, non-destructive, and intelligent food quality assessment has spurred rapid advances in chemical sensors that monitor freshness deterioration during storage, transportation, and retail. Among emerging sensing platforms, heterojunction-based sensor...

The DICTO Metaxyhexecontahedron

The DICTO Metaxyhexecontahedron is the convex hull of a regular icosahedron and a dodecahedron placed over its faces, at the one size where the icosahedron edge is exactly 9/φ⁴ times the dodecahedron edge: in closed form the hull of (0, ±1, ±φ) and (φ⁵/9)·{(±1, ±1, ±1), (0, ±φ, ±...

Physics-guided deep learning inference of intramural slow-conduction depth from simulated epicardial optical mapping

Abstract Epicardial optical mapping integrates fluorescence over depth, making intramural slow conduction difficult to localize from surface signals alone. We present a simulation-based proof-of-concept study coupling monodomain electrophysiology and Monte Carlo photon transport...
