A 10-billion-year-old mystery.

Our best glimpse yet at early star formation.

What else is down there?

This has profound global consequences.

"Avian flu is knocking on our door."

Ice accretion from the impingement of supercooled water droplets on the rotating components of aero-engines reduces engine efficiency and poses significant in-flight safety risks. In the present study, we experimentally investigate the impact of water droplets on the center of a rotating disk to gain insights into the icing mechanisms on these components. The effects […]

Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs) generate electrical power through gas turbines and use the exhaust heat from those turbines to power steam turbines, resulting in 50% more power output compared to traditional simple cycle power plants. Predicting the full-load electrical power output () of a CCPP is crucial for efficient operation and sustainable development. Previous […]

This paper addresses the robust control for a slung-mass quadrotor under abrupt velocity changes. The proposed algorithm is based on a sliding mode controller applied to the quadrotor translational dynamics considering the slung-mass angle as feedback. A Lyapunov candidate function is used to demonstrate system stability. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate stability in hover, […]

In recent years, data management and analytics have attracted significant attention from both academia and industry, driven by the rapid growth in the volume, velocity, and variety of data generation[…]

This study investigates the performance of a centrifugal radial turbine within an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system, focusing on operation beyond the design point due to variable waste heat sources. With the goal of integrating the turbine into optimal ORC operating conditions, its performance was analyzed using R245fa as the working fluid over three stages […]

Organic compounds with 1,3-diketone or 3-amino enone functional groups are extremely important as they can be converted into a plethora of carbo- or heterocyclic derivatives or can be used as ligands in the formation of metal complexes. Here, we have achieved the preparation of a series of non-symmetrical β-ketoenamines (O,N,N proligand) of the type (4-MeOC6H4)C(=O)CH=C(R)NH(Q) […]

(1) Background: The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of selected physico-chemical factors on the solubility and release rate of CT (cryptotanshinone) in alcohologels. (2) Methods: The alcohologels of methylcellulose (MC), hydroksyethylcellulose (HEC), polyacrylic acid (PA) and polyacrylic acid crosspolymer (PACP) with CT were prepared and/or doped with native potato starch (SN) […]

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the impact of species and tissue differences on the glucuronidation of diclofenac in vitro. Method: Microsomes from different species (rat, monkey, mouse, dog, and human) and rat and human tissues (liver, intestine, and kidney) were used to assess the rate of glucuronidation reaction of diclofenac. The […]

Juniperus sabina L., a species within the Juniperus genus, is broadly distributed across Southern Europe and Central Asia. In China, its berries, branches, and leaves are traditionally employed in Uyghur medicine to address conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, itchy skin, tinnitus, deafness, and urinary discomfort. Notably, the plant’s primary bioactive constituents are terpenoids, lignans, and […]

This study aimed to enhance the properties and compostability of active poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films by incorporating β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) inclusion complexes with allyl isothiocyanate (AITC). Films were prepared using melt extrusion and characterized based on their structural, chemical, morphological, thermal, and barrier properties. These inclusion complexes improved the thermal stability and moisture absorption of films, […]
