Recent progress in the extraction of terpenoids from essential oils and separation of the enantiomers by GC–MS (2024)
Journal Article

Terpenoids possess significant physiological activities and are rich in essential oils. Some terpenoids have chiral centers and could form enantiomers with distinct physiological activities. Therefore, the extraction and separation of terpenoids enan... Read More about Recent progress in the extraction of terpenoids from essential oils and separation of the enantiomers by GC–MS.

Reconsidering the dynamical states of galaxy clusters using PCA and UMAP (2024)
Journal Article

Numerous metrics exist to quantify the dynamical state of galaxy clusters, both observationally and within simulations. Many of these correlate strongly with one another, but it is not clear whether all of these measures probe the same intrinsic prop...

Altered landscape of total RNA, tRNA and sncRNA modifications in the liver and spleen of mice infected by Toxoplasma gondii (2024)
Journal Article

Background Pathogens can impact host RNA modification machinery to establish a favorable cellular environment for their replication. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Toxoplasma gondii infection on host RNA modification profiles...

Design and optimization of a thermoelectric generator with dimple fins to achieve higher net power (2024)
Journal Article

To enhance the performance of the automobile thermoelectric generator (ATEG), this study proposes a heat exchanger with dimple fins, where the number of dimples systematically increases along the direction of exhaust flow. The innovative combination... Read More about Design and optimization of a thermoelectric generator with dimple fins to achieve higher net power.

A classical hypothesis test for assessing the homogeneity of disease transmission in stochastic epidemic models (2024)
Journal Article

This paper addresses the problem of assessing the homogeneity of the disease transmission process in stochastic epidemic models in populations that are partitioned into social groups. We develop a classical hypothesis test for completed epidemics whi... Read More about A classical hypothesis test for assessing the homogeneity of disease transmission in stochastic epidemic models.

A novel and selective fluorescent ligand for the study of adenosine A2B receptors (2024)
Journal Article

Fluorescent ligands have proved to be powerful tools in the study of G protein-coupled receptors in living cells. Here we have characterised a new fluorescent ligand PSB603-BY630 that has high selectivity for the human adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR)....

Greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs: emission processes and management approaches (2024)
Journal Article

Hydropower reservoirs, as vital inland waters bodies of anthropogenic origin, exhibit distinct characteristics from natural waters, thereby garnering research interest in the quantification and mapping of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this revie... Read More about Greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs: emission processes and management approaches.

On the productivity advantage of cities (2024)
Journal Article

Agglomeration externalities are the key factor explaining the existence of cities and their size. However, while the various micro foundations of agglomeration externalities stress the importance of total factor productivity (TFP), the empirical evid...

Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique (2024)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced widespread subsidence due to forest clearance and drainage for agriculture, oil palm and pulp wood production, causing concerns about their function as a long-term carbon store. Peatland drainage... Read More about Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique.

Direct formation of copper nanoparticles from atoms at graphitic step edges lowers overpotential and improves selectivity of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (2024)
Journal Article

A key strategy for minimizing our reliance on precious metals is to increase the fraction of surface atoms and improve the metal-support interface. In this work, we employ a solvent/ligand/counterion-free method to deposit copper in the atomic form d...

The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism (2024)
Journal Article

Despite hundreds of studies examining belief in conspiracy theories, it is still unclear who—demographically—is most likely to believe such theories. To remedy this knowledge gap, we examine survey data containing various operationalizations of consp... Read More about The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism.

Exploring galaxy evolution time-scales in clusters: insights from the projected phase space (2024)
