Inderscience is a global company, a dynamic leading independent journal publisher disseminates the latest research across the broad fields of science, engineering and technology; management, public and business administration; environment, ecological economics and sustainable dev...

Promotion of nisin production by integrating rare earth salt stimulation and foam separation with fermentation system

Nisin is an antimicrobial peptide which offers potential for the replacement of synthetic preservatives in the food industry. However, nisin is difficult to produce on a large scale due to low synthesis efficiency and severe feedback inhibition. The objective of this work was to...

Motivators and Barriers to Physician Assistant Preceptorship in North Carolina (CME)

Introduction Physician assistant (PA) programs face persistent challenges in recruiting and retaining clinical preceptors due to time constraints, administrative burden, lack of compensation, and limited training. Additional pressures, such as health care consolidation, program e...

Beyond Branching: Unlocking the Catalytic Versatility of Branching Enzymes for the Design of Diverse α-Glucan Structures

Starch-modifying glycoside hydrolases (GHs) typically operate via a retaining double-displacement mechanism, involving formation of a covalent glycosyl–enzyme intermediate. This intermediate can be resolved either by water, resulting in hydrolysis, or by a glucan acceptor, leadin...

Theoretical Analysis of Androstenone Adsorption on Chimpanzee and Gorilla Olfactory Receptors (G‐Protein): Statistical Physics Modeling, Molecular Docking Simulation, and Thermodynamic Investigation

ABSTRACT An advanced theory based on statistical physics was applied to microscopically investigate androstenone adsorption and its relationship with olfactory perception in chimpanzees and gorillas. For this purpose, dose–response curves of androstenone on olfactory receptors of...

In Situ Tracking of Membrane HER2- Antibody–Drug Conjugate Interaction with Surface PlasmonResonance Imaging

Abstract Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) rely on specific recognition of tumor-associated membrane receptors to achieve targeted intracellular drug delivery, yet in situ characterization of their interaction dynamics remains limited. Here, we develop a single-cell plasmonic imagi...

Privacy-preserving spatial keyword query with exclusion keywords and multi-preference support in road networks

Existing spatial keyword query methods mainly focus on the relevance between interest objects and keywords, while paying relatively limited attention to multiple preference scenarios in road network environments. To overcome the limitations of existing methods in addressing spati...

Temporal misalignment of renal sodium transport promotes non-dipping blood pressure phenotypes

Non-dipping blood pressure (BP) phenotypes are strongly associated with cardiovascular and renal morbidity, yet the physiological mechanisms governing nocturnal BP dipping remain incompletely understood. Experimental evidence suggests important roles for circadian timing, renal s...

The institutional logic of news source selection in clentelistic media systems: A comparative study of Albania and Kosovo

This study examines source diversity in broadcast news in Albania and Kosovo’s hybrid clientelist media systems. Drawing on institutional theory, we explore how sourcing practices reflect competing logics of power, professionalism, and market pressures under conditions of uncerta...

Does Financial Literacy Improve Farmer Resilience? The Role of Risk Perception and Credit Access Among Horticulturists

This article examines the relationship between financial literacy and financial resilience of horticultural farmers, and more specifically, the mediation of such a relationship through the perception of risk and by accessing credit. Data were collected from 500 horticultural farm...

Micropropagation of Nymphaea pubescens: An Efficient Protocol for Tuber-Derived Tissue Culture, Shoot Multiplication, and Field Establishment

Waterlilies (Nymphaea spp.) are ecologically and ornamentally important aquatic plants, yet their micropropagation remains challenging due to endophytic contamination and the recalcitrant nature of tuber explants. This study established an efficient in vitro protocol for Nymphaea...

Energy-Aware Robotics: Review of Path Planning and Power Optimization for Long-Endurance UAVs

There is no gain saying of the obvious fact that Long-endurance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are critical not only for surveillance and precision agriculture, but also for disaster response, and environmental monitoring. However, battery capacity remains the primary constraint, with...

Artificial Intelligence in Thyroid Nodules and Cancer: Clinical Validation and Real-World Performance

Abstract Thyroid nodules are detected in a large proportion of adults undergoing high-resolution ultrasonography, yet only a minority harbor clinically significant cancer. The clinical problem is therefore not only cancer detection but calibrated risk stratification: avoiding del...

East and West African Refugee Parents’ Experiences With Norwegian Municipal Mental Health Services for Their Children: Navigating Cultural Differences

Introduction: The number of refugees in Norway from African countries has increased, alongside increasing mental health challenges among youths with refugee backgrounds, linked to trauma and resettlement stress. Although parents wish to support their children, they encounter cult...

The role of equatorial juvenile arcs in the Middle Triassic seawater 87Sr/86Sr decline during the Pangean “quiet” period

The Middle Triassic (246−235 Ma) seawater 87Sr/86Sr record exhibits an excursion following the recovery from Siberian large igneous province volcanism. Two primary mechanisms have been proposed to explain the isotopic shift: (1) a change in the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the continental...

The Brain's Financial System: A Game Theory of Dopamine, Serotonin, and the Lateral Habenula[大脑财务系统]

Abstract Dopamine, serotonin, and the lateral habenula have long been mislabeled as the "pleasure molecule," "mood stabilizer," and "anti-reward center." These labels obscure a deeper truth: they constitute the brain's built-in decision-value evaluation system—a precise Brain Fin...

Prevalence, severity and predictors of Antipsychotic-Related Adverse Drug Reactions at the Psychiatry Clinic of a Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda

Background Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are associated with hospitalization, increased healthcare cost, morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, severity and associated factors of ADRs among patients taking antipsychotics at Mbarara Regional Refer...

Modeling of a dual-axis tilt-rotor mechanism for a high-performance quadrotor

Purpose This study aims to investigate the flight stability, control robustness and trajectory tracking performance of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a dual-axis tilt-rotor mechanism, and compares its performance against conventional quadrotor designs. De...

The efficacy of stem cell therapy: cells or their microenvironment?

The therapeutic outcomes of stem cell therapy are determined not solely by cellular potency alone, but also by the receptiveness of the host microenvironment. Despite continuous progress in stem cell quality control and functional optimization technologies, inconsistent outcomes...

A Constructive Exact Counting Framework for Goldbach's Conjecture

This paper presents a constructive exact counting framework for computing the number of representations of an even number as the sum of two primes. The framework consists of two components: the First Formula (a recursive generation rule for algebraic deduction) and the Correction...
