Study on the preparation of multifunctional bacterial cellulose-based wound dressings and their in vitro hemostatic performance

Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a favored material for medical wound dressings due to its biocompatibility and water-holding capacity, yet it lacks inherent antibacterial and hemostatic capabilities. To enhance its functionality, a nov...

Cyclic order superpositions enable quantum information transmission through completely depolarizing channels

Abstract Noise fundamentally limits quantum communication capacity, completely preventing information transmission in fully depolarizing environments. While indefinite causal order theoretically circumvents this limitation, experimentally r...

Neural Network-Based Discriminators for Single-Shot Readout of Superconducting Qubits in Non-Gaussian Conditions

Single-shot dispersive readout of superconducting qubits is a very important part of real-time quantum feedback and quantum error correction (QEC). Conventional discriminators such as thresholding and matched filtering are optimal under Gau...

Glycosylation of Epigallocatechin Gallate by Engineered Glycoside Hydrolases from <i>Talaromyces amestolkiae</i>: Potential Antiproliferative and Neuroprotective Effect of These Molecules

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds, but some of them can also catalyze the synthesis of glycosides by transglycosylation. However, the yields of this reaction are generally low since the glycosides formed...

Innovative green niosomal piperlongumine as a novel topical treatment for dermatophytosis in guinea pigs model

Abstract Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection that affects many people worldwide. Although various species of dermatophytes respond to common antifungal drugs, the recently identified Trichophyton indotineae isolates hav...

Enhancing the oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols on Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts with hierarchical porosity

The oxidative cleavage of biomass-derived vicinal diols holds significant potential for producing valuable renewable carboxylic acids. Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite is a highly effective catalyst for this reaction using mild reaction conditions; however...

Evaluating the scalability of distributed systems

Many distributed systems must be scalable, meaning that they must be economically deployable in a wide range of sizes and configurations. This paper presents a scalability metric based on cost-effectiveness, where the effectiveness is a fun...

Pore-Throat-Adaptive Transport and Flow-Redistribution Mechanisms of Deformable Hydrogel Particles in Tight Reservoirs of the Ordos Basin

Tight reservoirs commonly exhibit strong pore-throat confinement and flow heterogeneity, which cause injected water to preferentially migrate through connected high-conductivity pathways while a large fraction of movable fluids remains unde...

Battery Energy Storage Capacity Estimation for Microgrids Using Digital Twin Concept

Globally, renewable energy-based power generation is experiencing exponential growth due to concerns over the environmental impacts of traditional power generation methods. Microgrids (MGs) are commonly employed to integrate renewable sourc...

Global Cybersecurity Index, 2017

This report aims to better understand countries’ commitments to cybersecurity, identify gaps, encourage the incorporation of good practices, and provide useful insights for countries to improve their cybersecurity postures. Countries have r...

Decentralized intelligence in smart grids: a comprehensive survey of edge computing and federated learning

Modern power grids are becoming more distributed and data-intensive, while centralized, cloud-based analytics struggle to keep pace. Routing everything through a central system introduces delays, strains network capacity, complicates compli...
