The past few decades, considerable progress has been made in understanding the biophysical properties of proteins using small modular domains such as SH3 domains. However, there is a surprising lack of knowledge regarding how...
Nanopowders of lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) were synthesized by a water-based modified Pechini method, in which Li2CO3 and ammonium niobate (v) oxalate hydrate (C4H4NNbO9·xH2O) are used as the Li and Nb source materials...
The effect of carbon black (CB) and microwave-induced plasma graphene (g) on the crystallisation kinetics of the multimodal high-density polyethylene was studied under non-isothermal conditions. The non-isothermal...
A novel red-emitting phosphor NaY9(SiO4)6O2:Sm3+ (NYS:Sm3+) was synthesized and the X-ray diffraction and high-resolution TEM testified that the NYS compound belongs to the apatite structure which crystallized in a hexagonal...
An important segment of the future renewable energy economy is the implementation of novel energy generation systems. Such electrochemical systems are solid oxide fuel cells, which have the advantage of direct conversion of the...
Ag3PO4 photocatalyst has attracted interest of the scientific community in recent times due to its reported high efficiency for water oxidation and dye degradation. However, Ag3PO4 photo-corrodes if electron accepter such as...
The production of an innovative, high-performance graphene-based polymer nanocomposite using cost-effective techniques was pursued in this study. Well-dispersed and uniformly distributed graphene platelets within a polymer...
We conducted a European-only and transancestral genome-wide association meta-analysis in 72,147 stroke patients and 823,869 controls using data from UK Biobank (UKB) and the MEGASTROKE consortium. We identified an exonic...
Single-step inkjet printing infiltration with doped ceria Ce0.9Ye0.1O1.95 (YDC) and cobalt oxide (CoxOy) precursor inks was performed in order to modify the properties of the doped ceria interlayer in commercial (50 × 50 × 0.5...
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an aggressive opportunistic pathogen of prominent virulence and antibiotic resistance. These characteristics are due in part to the accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum-sensing system, which...
Mutations in the endosome-associated protein CHMP2B cause frontotemporal dementia and lead to lysosomal storage pathology in neurons. We here report that physiological levels of mutant CHMP2B causes reduced numbers and...
Abstract: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising power sources due to the low cost and abundance of battery-grade sodium resources, while practical SIBs suffer from intrinsically sluggish diffusion kinetics and severe volume...
In ancient days, the word exercise (Riyazat) was defined only in medical books and common man was not aware of its health benefits, but in the era of modern medicine and social media, even a common man has become aware of the...
Ionic-conductive polymers are appealing electrolyte materials for solid-state lithium-based batteries. However, these polymers are detrimentally affected by the electrochemically-inactive anion migration that limits the ionic...
In ancient days, the word exercise (Riyazat) was defined only in medical books and common man was not aware of its health benefits, but in the era of modern medicine and social media, even a common man has become aware of the...
This paper proposes a hybrid differential evolution (DE) and harmony search (HS) for solving optimal power flow (OPF) problem with FACTS devices including static Var compensator (SVC), thyristor-controlled series compensation...
Abstract: Batteries that extend performance beyond the intrinsic limits of Li-ion batteries are among the most important developments required to continue the revolution promised by electrochemical devices. Of these...
