Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: A brief comparative examination of tangent hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid through a extending surface: numerical Keller–Box scheme

Abstract A novel hybrid nanofluid was explored in order to find an efficient heat-transmitting fluid to replace standard fluids and revolutionary nanofluids. By using tangent hyperbolic hybrid combination nanoliquid with non-Newtonian ethyl...

Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of iron oxide/poly(2-methylaniline) nanohybrids for supercapacitor application

This study reports the synthesis of a nanohybrid material composed of poly(2-methylaniline) (P(2MA)) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) as electrodes for supercapacitors using a simple and cost-effective method. Various characterization techniques were...

Nanotechnology for parasitic plant control

The field of nanotechnology opens up novel potential applications for agriculture. Nanotechnology applications are already being explored and used in medicine and pharmacology, but interest for use in crop protection is just starting. The d...

Diagnostic innovations in Equine Parasitology: a Nanogold-ELISA for sensitive serodiagnosis of migratory strongylus vulgaris larvae infections

Abstract Strongylus vulgaris, a devastating parasitic nematode in equids, causes life-threatening verminous aneurysms that are challenging to diagnose early. This study pioneered integrating nanotechnology into an indirect enzyme-linked imm...

Towards Low‐Voltage and High‐Capacity Conversion‐Based Oxide Anodes by Configuration Entropy Optimization

Abstract Transition metal oxide (TMO)‐based anodes attract much attention for lithium storage due to the merits of high theoretical capacity, facile synthesis, and easy scale‐up. Moreover, the increased working potential avoids the issue of...

Multi-site field validation of improved morpho-physiological responses and yield in Allium hirtifolium with zinc oxide nanoparticle treatments in semi-arid soils

Abstract Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) offer a superior alternative to conventional Zn fertilizers for improved crop production, particularly under semi-arid regions where nutrient efficiency and stress tolerance are critical. Using two...

Ultrasound-Sensitive Liposomes for Triggered Macromolecular Drug Delivery: Formulation and In Vitro Characterization

Mistletoe lectin-1 (ML1) is a nature-derived macromolecular cytotoxin that potently induces apoptosis in target cells. Non-specific cytotoxicity to normal cells is one of the major risks in its clinical application, and we therefore propose...

The Water-Based Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Using KrF Excimer Laser Ablation

Our work presents, for the first time, a comprehensive study of the synthesis of fully metallic platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NPs) involving the ablation process in double distilled water using a KrF excimer laser. To obtain detailed informati...

Středověký svět dětí a her v archeologických pramenech

"Dějiny dětství" jako jednu z oblastí studia života všedního dne lze pro středověk jen velmi těžce postihnout. Demografická situace středověku nebyla pro děti vůbec příznivá. Významnou roli v tomto ohledu sehrálo sociální prostředí (na vesn...

New femoral evidence from the Afar reveal the early evolution of habitual squatting behaviors in the genus Theropithecus

IntroductionThe femoral anatomy of fossil Theropithecus is poorly known, although it provides critical data for inferring squatting behaviors, a characteristic trait of extant Theropithecus gelada.MethodsHere, we describe and provide functi...

The Archaeology of the Colonized

The first book to integrate fully the archaeological study of the landscape with the concerns of colonial and postcolonial history, theory and scholarship, The Archaeology of the Colonized focuses on the experience of the colonized in their...

Radiation-Driven Stellar Eruptions

Very massive stars occasionally expel material in colossal eruptions, driven by continuum radiation pressure rather than blast waves. Some of them rival supernovae in total radiative output, and the mass loss is crucial for subsequent evolu...

Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...

Drug situation and drug combating in China: trends and opportunities to strengthen international cooperation by the example of the SCO

In recent years, the drug situation in China has generally stabilized, and according to official Chinese statistics, the number of drug addicts is reducing. However, China remains one of the key sources of synthetic drugs and precursors to ...

Children's Type 1 Diabetes-specific Self-reported Outcomes Scales: Measurement Properties Evaluation Based on COSMIN Guidelines

Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus in children is progressively younger, and there is a lack of quality standardized studies on specific self-reported outcomes scales for pediatric and adolescent patients. Objective To evaluate the measure...
