Indoor air quality is significantly compromised by the biodeterioration of building materials, such as oil-based paints, which facilitates the release of fungal bioaerosols posing health risks to occupants. This study examines the role of Cladosporium sphaerospermum as a key airborne contaminant in paint degradation and evaluates metal nanoparticles as antimicrobial additives to mitigate associated bioaerosol emissions. Clados...
Advancing energy efficiency in smart transportation through intelligent technologies and policy innovationNARA Subscribed
The transportation sector remains one of the largest contributors to global energy consumption and carbon emissions, particularly in rapidly urbanizing and emerging economies. This study presents an integrative review of intelligent technologies, system optimization approaches, and policy frameworks aimed at improving transportation energy efficiency, with a focused assessment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASE...
Mannosylated fisetin/carveol lipid nanocapsules: brain-targeted dual therapy for modulation of epileptogenesis and cognitive deficitsNARA Subscribed
Pharmacological treatment of epilepsy is challenged by several barriers with the blood brain barrier (BBB) imposing the utmost restrictions to brain drug delivery. Antiepileptic drugs aim to reduce seizures frequency and severity while exerting minimal toxic effects. Herein, the merits of phytomedicine and brain targeted nanocarriers were combined for the control of seizures in a chronic epilepsy model. Fisetin (FS); a polyphe...
Harnessing bacterial power and omics technologies for sustainable plastic waste biodegradationNARA Subscribed
Plastic pollution constitutes a critical environmental concern of this era, with synthetic polymers, i.e., polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), and polyurethane (PU), accumulating in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems at alarming rates. One of the promising solutions to this worldwide problem is microbial plastic degradation, particularly by bacteria that can convert polymeric materials into l...
As a solution for ecosystem bioremediation from the gigantic red seaweed proliferation across the Mediterranean shorelines, this work investigates the effective utilization of Pterocladia capillacea to produce different esteemed and viable bioproducts. The nutritional composition of approximately 6.88 ± 0.31%, 20.15 ± 0.2%, 42.16 ± 0.3%, and 2.51 ± 0.05% (w:w) protein, fiber, carbohydrate, and lipid, respectively, promotes its...
Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
Rotor–stator hydrodynamic cavitation reactor for intensification of castor oil biodiesel productionNARA Subscribed
Nowadays, the intensification of the production of biodiesel from non-edible oil crops is mandatory to overcome petrol-fuel depletion and environmental pollution. For the first time, enhanced biodiesel production from castor oil via rotor–stator hydrodynamic cavitation has been studied in this work. Response surface methodology based on one-factor-at-a-time design of experiments was employed for modelling and optimizing the bi...
Apocynin (APO) is a plant derived antioxidant exerting specific NADPH oxidase inhibitory action substantiating its neuroprotective effects in various CNS disorders, including epilepsy. Due to rapid elimination and poor bioavailability, treatment with APO is challenging. Correspondingly, novel APO-loaded lipid nanocapsules (APO-LNC) were formulated and coated with lactoferrin (LF-APO-LNC) to improve br ain targetability and pro...
Novel nafion-palygorskite composite for Pb/Lead treatmentNARA Subscribed
Letrozole (LTZ) is an aromatase inhibitor that limits estrogen (E2) production and increases testosterone (T) levels. This research aimed to examine the impact of a single dose of LTZ on testicular hemodynamics, ejaculation time, and semen quality in goats under heat stress (HS). Therefore, Doppler examination and semen evaluation were performed on twelve mature bucks for two weeks (W-1, W-2) as pre-heat stress control during...
