The development of effective tools to combat viral diseases remains a major challenge for the aquaculture industry. Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNv) is one of the most devastating pathogens affecting salmonids, leading to high mortality ra...
Inverted exponentiated Rayleigh distribution is a widely used and important continuous lifetime distribution, which plays a key role in lifetime research. The joint progressively type-II censoring scheme is an effective method used in the quality eva...
This paper aims to address the problems of safety and durability in China’s ballastless track structures, particularly the lack of accurate analysis and methods for predicting the reliability of the new type of prefabricated track structure dur...
The high overpotentials for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) create an extremely negative impact on the energy efficiency of the air-based battery systems. To overcome this problem, binuclear ball-type metallophthalocyanines containing methoxy substit...
Ultrasonic transducers performance can be seriously deteriorated by loss of adhesion between some constitutive elements such as the active element, the backing, or the matching layer. In the present work, the influence of bonding delaminations on the...
Background: In plants, members of the MADS-box gene family encode transcription factors that regulate a wide range of developmental processes, including cell differentiation, organ identity, floral induction, and responses to environmental stimuli. M...
This paper reports on the formation and transformation of multiple fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in three-dimensional space. A cooperative guidance law based on the classic missile-type parallel-approach method is designed for the multi-...
Eriodictyol is a hydroxylated flavonoid displaying multiple pharmaceutical activities, such as antitumoral, antiviral or neuroprotective. However, its industrial production is limited to extraction from plants due to its inherent limitations. Here, w...
This study aims to design a novel combined spherical tensegrity structure and evaluate its cushioning performance to offer a new option for a planetary exploration landing mechanism. Initially, based on the circumferential assembling method, a &ldquo...
Background/Objectives: The origin of genes and genetics is the story of the coevolution of translation systems and the genetic code. Remarkably, the history of the origin of life on Earth was inscribed and preserved in the sequences of tRNAs. Methods...
Introduction of reporter groups at designed RNA sites is a widely accepted approach to gain information about the molecular environment of RNAs in their complexes with other biopolymers formed during various cellular processes. A general approach to...
Self-assembly of copper(II)phenylsilsesquioxane assisted by the use of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) results in isolation of two unusual cage-like compounds: (PhSiO1,5)12(CuO)4(NaO0.5)4(phen)4 1 and (PhSiO1,5)6(PhSiO1,5)7(HO0.5)2(CuO)5(O0.25)2(phen)3 2....
The intensive use of toxic and remanent pesticides in agriculture has prompted research into novel performant, yet cost-effective and fast analytical tools to control the pesticide residue levels in the environment and food. In this context, biosenso...
In the present work, the novel dense and supported membranes based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with improved transport properties were developed by bulk and surface modifications. Bulk modification included the blending of PVA with chitosan (CS) and t...
In this work, the formation, structural properties, and energy spectrum of novel self-assembled GaSb/AlP quantum dots (SAQDs) were studied by experimental methods. The growth conditions for the SAQDs’ formation by molecular beam epitaxy on both...
Specially designed polymer nanocomposites can photo-catalytically degrade azo dyes in wastewater and textile effluents, among which TiO2-based nanocomposites are outstanding and extensively explored. Other nanocomposites based on natural polymers (i....
Shock and vibration caused by mechanical motion bring huge potential threats to the service life and assembly reliability of mechanical systems. Rubber materials have been widely used in aircraft, trains, and other engineering fields, due to their ex...

Amino acid complexes of zirconia represent an entirely new class of materials that were synthesized and studied for the first time for the decontamination of fluoride ion containing aqueous solutions. Glutamic and aspartic acid complexes of zirconia...
Buildings in warm–humid and hot–arid coastal climates experience continuous cooling demand due to high solar radiation, humidity, and extended cooling seasons. Reducing operational energy use and carbon emissions through improved early-st...
Driven by China’s “dual carbon” (carbon peak and carbon neutrality) goals and the national strategy of new-type urbanization, prefabricated construction has emerged as a pivotal pathway toward industrialized and sustainable developm...
