Abstract:
... In order to reveal the hotspots and trends of biological water treatment from the perspectives of scientific and technological innovation, both of the bibliometric review and patents analysis were performed in this study. The Web of Science Core Collection database and Derwent Innovation Index database recorded 30023 SCI papers and 50326 patents, respectively were analyzed via information visualiz ...
... Phospholipids are the main constituent of cellular membranes and have recently been identified to have diagnostic value as biomarkers for many diseases. Accordingly, much emphasis is now laid on developing optimal analytical techniques for the phospholipid profiles of various biological samples. In the present study, different classes of phospholipids are first separated by optimized hydrophilic i ...
... Psychological stress is a crucial driver of tumorigenesis and cancer metastasis. The impact of the stress-associated neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on tumor progression is poorly understood. We aimed to identify the role of 5-HT in the pathogenesis of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to identify innovative therapeutic strategies. The expression of 5-HT and related signaling mole ...
... Primary and secondary food processing had been identified as areas vulnerable to fraud. Besides the food processing area, other stages within the food supply chain are also vulnerable to fraud. This study aims to develop a Bayesian network (BN) model to predict food fraud type and point of adulteration i.e., the occurrence of fraudulent activity. The BN model was developed using GeNie Modeler (Bay ...

Abstract:
... The classification of urban land-use information has become the underlying database for a variety of applications including urban planning and administration. The lack of datasets and changeable semantics of land-use make deep learning methods suffer from low precision, which prevent improvements in the effectiveness of using AI methods for applications. In this paper, we first used GIS data to pr ...

Abstract:
... This study aims to assess the associations between structural features of the Montreal Diet Dispensary’s social nutrition intervention and pregnancy (i.e., anemia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational weight gain (GWG), hypertension) and birthweight outcomes (i.e., small- or large-for-gestational-age) among pregnant women, most of them recent immigrants. The study consists of a seconda ...
... Globally, organisations are focused on deriving more value from the data which has been collected from various sources. The purpose of this research is to examine the key components of machine learning in making efficient financial decisions. The business leaders are now faced with huge volume of data, which needs to be stored, analysed, and retrieved so as to make effective decisions for achievin ...
... The ecological assessment of all surface water bodies in Europe according to the Water Framework Directive involves the monitoring of biological, physicochemical and hydromorphological quality elements. For the hydromorphological assessment in particular, there are numerous methods that have been developed and adopted by EU member countries. With this study, we compared three different methods (Ri ...
... This study explores a new perspective on triboelectrification that could potentially lead to the development of a non-destructive approach for the rapid characterization of powders. Sieved yellow pea powders at various particle sizes and protein contents were used as a model system for the experimental charge measurements of the triboelectrified powders. A tribocharging model based on the prominen ...
... Although the S8 family in the MEROPS database contains many peptidases, only a few S8 peptidases have been applied in the preparation of bioactive oligopeptides. Bovine bone collagen is a good source for preparing collagen oligopeptides, but has been so far rarely applied in collagen peptide preparation. Here, we characterized a novel S8 gelatinase, Aa2_1884, from marine bacterium Flocculibacter c ...
... In this review, we examined the top 10 nutraceutical products sold in Italian pharmacies and parapharmacies as well as hypermarkets and supermarkets; in the first, three product categories saw the greatest increase in sales (vitamins and minerals, immunostimulants, and sleep products) for the 12-month period between October 2019 and October 2020 (including first pandemic wave of SARS-CoV-2). We ar ...

Abstract:
... Over the last one and half century, a myriad of studies has demonstrated that Hofmeister ions have a major impact on protein stability and solubility. Nevertheless, the definition of the physico-chemical basis of their activity has proved to be highly challenging and controversial. Here, by exploiting the enormous information content of the Protein Data Bank, we explored the binding to proteins of ...
... : The extracts of Garcinia mangostana (L) pericarp contain high concentration of prenylated xanthones such as α-, β- and γ-mangostin and related molecules. These extracts possess wide range of biological properties including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, antioxidant and pro-apoptotic activities. Till date, α-, β- and γ-mangostin have been extensively studied due to its applica ...
... Transmission towers are easily affected by various meteorological and geological disasters. In this paper, a transmission tower tilt state assessment approach—based on high precision and dense point cloud from UAV LiDAR—was proposed. First, the transmission tower point cloud was rapidly located and extracted from the 3D point cloud obtained by UAV-LiDAR line patrol. A robust histogram local extrem ...

Abstract:
... The growing global demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly energy has stimulated the rapid adoption of renewable offshore energy. However, infrastructure needed for green energy production ironically impacts upon marine species and biodiversity. Consequently, this positional review paper seeks to comprehensively synthesise the prevailing body of knowledge on the impact of offshore ener ...

Abstract:
... Rice is an important cereal and a staple food in many countries in the world. Climate change is a significant challenge that affects paddy production and threatens food security. However, research and development in this area continue to work to ensure the supply of rice fulfils the demands of the population. The study aims to analyse the transformation of international research power in trends in ...
... An annotated checklist of the helminth parasites associated with reptiles from Peru is provided, as the result of a compilation of parasitological papers published between 1963 and January 2022 and records of species deposited in national and international collections. The list provides data on hosts, developmental stage, sites of infection, geographical distribution in Peruvian territory, code of ...
... Since late 2019, when SARS-CoV-2 was reported at Wuhan, several sequence analyses have been performed and SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences have been submitted in various databases. Moreover, the impact of these variants on infectivity and response to neutralizing antibodies has been assessed. In the present study, we retrieved a total number of 176 complete and high-quality S glycoprotein sequences of ...
... In this critical review, we synthesize data from peer-reviewed literature reporting on triazole fungicide exposures in the zebrafish model. Based on their mode of action in plants (potent inhibitors of ergosterol synthesis), we focused attention on mechanisms related to cellular, lipid, and steroid metabolism. Evidence from several studies reveals that zebrafish exposed to triazoles present with i ...
... Sustainable growth is one of the major challenges of the XXI century; the antagonism between the needs of “development” and finiteness of natural resources is more and more evident, forcing international Agencies to endorse a “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” to promote, among other goals, a responsible management of natural resources. The key issue here is the lack of a consistent sustain ...
