IWORMLF: Improved Invasive Weed Optimization With Random Mutation and Lévy Flight for Beam Pattern Optimizations of Linear and Circular Antenna Arrays

The beam pattern synthesis of antenna arrays is one of the most significant optimization problems in the electromagnetics community, and it affects the performance of wireless communication systems. In this article, we formulate the beam pa...

Identification of Interfunctional Coordination Items Important for Business Performance of SMEs

This paper provides a deeper analysis of the relationships between interfunctional coordination (IFC) and business performance (BP). IFC is studied in many fields such as marketing, management, logistics, informatics or human resources. The...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Bed Exchange Characteristics of Fine Sediments From the Weser Estuary

Sedimentation of fine-grained sediments in estuaries is a natural physical phenomenon influenced by biogeochemical processes. In the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), enhanced net deposition of sediments is observed even in areas with high...

Microwave assisted synthesis and characterisation of a zinc oxide/tobacco mosaic virus hybrid material. An active hybrid semiconductor in a field-effect transistor device

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been employed as a robust functional template for the fabrication of a TMV/zinc oxide field effect transistor (FET). A microwave based approach, under mild conditions was employed to synthesize stable zinc oxi...

ROS/Enzyme Dual-Responsive Drug Delivery System for Targeted Colorectal Cancer Therapy: Synergistic Chemotherapy, Anti-Inflammatory, and Gut Microbiota Modulation

Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, driven by chronic inflammation, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and complex tumor microenvironment interactions. Current therapies are limited by systemic toxicit...

Scalable micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic surface modifications for enhanced energy efficiency and heat transfer performance in stainless steel and titanium

Condensation refers to the change of a substance from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase, an example of which is the condensation of water vapor in nature. Condensation is used in many industries, such as energy generation and seawater desal...

Antibacterial effects of nano-imprinted moth-eye film in practical settings.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies report that surfaces displaying micrometer- or nanometer-sized undulating structures exhibit antibacterial effects. In previous work, we described the use of an advanced nanofabrication technique to generate an art...

New Compounds Derived from Nitrophenol Synthesis, Structural investigation and anticorrision Properties

A new azo compound [2-((4-hydroxy-3-(E)-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)benzaldeyde and the azo schiff derivative [2-((4-hydroxy-3-((E)-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)benzylidene)amino)-4-nitrophenol (Azo-S) has been synthesized. 13C-N...

Integrating ayurvedic eye care into primary health practice: an exploratory study on the combined effect of pratimarsha nasya, avagundana, and aschyotana in meibomian gland dysfunction

BackgroundMeibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) has become increasingly common in community practice, often presenting as dryness, irritation, and ocular fatigue. Factors such as prolonged screen exposure, environmental irritants, and advancing...

Optical Properties of Composites of Polymethylmethacrylate and Polyethylene with Micron Particles of Graphitic Carbon Nitride

Uncovering Psychographic Segments in Indonesia’s Modest-Fashion Market Using VALS and K‑Means Clustering

Background: The Muslim fashion industry in Indonesia continues to expand rapidly, reflecting the dynamic intersection between cultural values and global-style trends. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) still rely on con...

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon Flexuosus Steud.) wats treated textile: A control measure against vector-borne diseases

Mosquito-borne diseases are one of the major threats to human health. The long-term use of synthetic repellents has made mosquitoes resistant to them leading to search for novel methods of mosquito control. In the present study, we have dev...

Depression, life satisfaction, and creative output

Over 280 million people worldwide suffer from depression, with approximately 21 million individuals affected in the U.S. working-age population. In creative fields like fashion design, the ability to innovate is essential, and designers are...

Colonic stenting as bridge to surgery versus emergency surgery for management of acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction: a multicenter randomized trial (Stent-in 2 study)

Abstract Background Acute left-sided colonic obstruction is most often caused by malignancy and the surgical treatment is associated with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Moreover, these operated patients end up with a temporary or perm...
