Animal liver microsomes are a rich source of carboxylesterases with potential for biocatalytic applications. However, their instability and difficulty in reuse limit their practical application. This study investigates the ...
In this research, the cryogenic friction stir welding (CFSW) process has been performed using a liquid nitrogen medium to join two similar ZE42 magnesium alloy plates. The new experimental setup has been designed and ...
This article introduces a new metaheuristic algorithm called the Serval Optimization Algorithm (SOA), which imitates the natural behavior of serval in nature. The fundamental inspiration of SOA is the serval’s hunting ...
Twenty-four novel compounds bearing tetrahydroacridine and N-propargyl moieties have been designed, synthesised, and evaluated in vitro for their anti-cholinesterase and anti-monoamine oxidase activities. Propargyltacrine ...
Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a highly conserved protein kinase acting as a central regulator of cell functions. The kinase forms two distinct mTOR complexes termed as mTORC1 and mTORC2. Dysregulation of mTOR ...
The organophosphorus antidotes, so-called oximes, are able to restore the enzymatic function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) or butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) via cleavage of organophosphate from the active site of the ...
Artificial neural networks are one of the most commonly used methods in machine learning. Performance of network highly depends on the learning method. Traditional learning algorithms are prone to be trapped in local optima ...
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an extensive network of intracellular membranes. Its major functions include proteosynthesis, protein folding, post-transcriptional modification and sorting of proteins within the cell, ...
Two new minor Amaryllidaceae alkaloids were isolated from Hippeastrum x hybridum cv. Ferrari and Narcissus pseudonarcissus cv. Carlton. The chemical structures were identified by various spectroscopic (one- and two-dimensional ...
This contribution belongs to a larger empirical study that focuses on issues related to the implementation of inquiry-based learning and formative assessment in science and mathematics education, while it also refers to ...
3-Chloroquinoline-2,4-diones react with cyanide ions in dimethyl formamide to give 3-cyanoquinoline-2,4-diones in small yields due to the strong hindrance of the substituent at the C-3 atom. Good yields can be achieved if ...
Spices are a popular ingredient in cuisine worldwide but can pose a health risk as they are prone to fungal infestation and mycotoxin contamination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ochratoxin A (OTA) in 54 ...
The current population worldwide extensively uses social media to share thoughts, societal issues, and personal concerns. Social media can be viewed as an intelligent platform that can be augmented with a capability to ...
Optimization algorithms are one of the effective stochastic methods in solving optimization problems. In this paper, a new swarm-based algorithm called Northern Goshawk Optimization (NGO) algorithm is presented that simulates ...
The order of appearance (in the Fibonacci sequence) function z: Z≥1 → Z≥1 is an arithmetic function defined for a positive integer n as z(n) = min{k ≥ 1: Fk ≡ 0 (mod n)}. A topic of great interest is to study the Diophantine ...
Let (F-n)(n) be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. The order of appearance (in the Fibonacci sequence) of a positive integer n is defined as z(n)=min{k & GE;1:n divide F-k}. Very recently, Trojovska and Venkatachalam proved ...
The selection of the best embryo for embryo transfer (ET) is one of the most important steps in IVF (in vitro fertilisation) treatment. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is an invasive method that can greatly facilitate ...
Selective, sensitive and affordable techniques to detect disease and underlying health is- sues have been developed recently. Biosensors as nanoanalytical tools have taken a front seat in this context. Nanotechnology-enabled ...
In the quantum models described by analytic potentials V(r) with several pronounced minima the phenomenon of tunneling opens the possibility of a sudden relocalization of the system after a minor modification of parameters. ...
Neutrinos stand out among the elementary particles because of their unusually small masses. Various seesaw mechanisms attempt to explain this fact. In this work, applying insights from matrix theory, we are in a position ...
