Knowledge, attitude, and practices toward COVID-19 vaccination among patients attending OPD of a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata: A descriptive cross-sectional study

Background: The acceptance of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination by the community was largely affected by information or misinformation spreading through various channels. Hence, in the process of deploying vaccines, it bec...

Analysis of groundwater and surface water quality using modelled water index and multivariate statistics in Kampala and Mbarara Districts, Uganda

Abstract The demand for domestic, public and industrial use of water increases with population growth. However, activities from humans and natural environment have resulted into decline in water quality. The aim of this study was to evaluat...

Geography, physics, and chemistry

Political science and rational choice

The impulse to study politics scientifically is both old and persistent. Aristotle collected 158 constitutions in order to generalize about events and institutions in the Politics . Early in the Renaissance, Machiavelli revived the Aristote...

Comparative investigation of similar and dissimilar AA6061/AA7075, AA6061/AA2024, and AA6061/AA5083 joints produced by continuous-drive friction welding

This study considers continuous-drive friction welding to compare AA6061/AA6061, AA6061/AA7075, AA6061/AA2024, and AA6061/AA5083 joints produced under the same nominal processing conditions. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, EDS, XR...

Reentrant condensation of a multicomponent cola/milk system induced by polyphosphate

Reentrant condensation (RC) is a protein behavior in which the protein solution shifts between the one- and two-phase state more than twice by increasing a single parameter. Although RC would be a candidate mechanism for the physicochemical...

Evaluation of Natural Extracts as Promising Components of Bioactive Coatings for Orthopedic Implants

The development of drug-eluting bioactive coatings for orthopedic implants has gained increased interest in recent years with an intent to reduce postoperative complications and improve tissue regeneration at the implant interface. Due to t...

Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Management of Secondary Sarcopenia in Adults in Colombia: A Modified Delphi Study

ABSTRACT Background Secondary sarcopenia driven by chronic disease, acute illness, immobilization, malnutrition or treatment‐related factors contributes to functional decline, falls, disability, readmission and mortality. In Colombia, uneve...

Crystal structure of desvenlafaxinium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid monohydrate, C30H35N5O15

One-step fabrication of superhydrophobic fabrics with stable mechanical performance in harsh conditions

Abstract Developing robust water-repellent textiles is critical for outdoor, protective, and industrial applications. However, achieving long-lasting water repellency under mechanical stress remains a significant challenge. Conventional app...

Fast Timing Techniques in FLIM Applications

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is increasingly used in many scientific disciplines, including biological and medical research, materials science and chemistry. The fluorescence label is not only used to indicate its location, but also...

The electrochemical effects of pitch stabilization for supercapacitor-grade activated carbon precursors

Petroleum pitch (PP) is a by-product generated during the petroleum refining process, characterized by its high carbon content, tunable structure, and cost-effectiveness. These attributes have spurred extensive research into its potential a...

Properties of aniline or O-phenylenediamine/YBCO hybrid materials

YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) bulk material prepared by high temperature solid state reaction was milled and dispersed through ultrasonic process in ethanol to prepare nanoscale YBCO/ethanol sol. Then it was mixed with aniline or O-phenylenediamine and...

Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

A hybrid nanomodulator enables metabolic microenvironment remodeling for potent immunotherapy against lung adenocarcinoma

STING agonist-based immunotherapy holds considerable promise for cancer treatment, yet its efficacy against immunologically “cold” tumors such as lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains markedly limited. A major obstacle lies in the highly glyco...

Fluoridobromate(V)–hydrogen fluoride cocrystallizates

Cocrystals of BrF5 and HF2− salts have been obtained for the first time in the form of the two compounds [NMe4][(BrF5)6(HF2)] and Cs2[(BrF5)6(HF2)(H2F3)]. These compounds are formed when hydrogen fluoride is present in reactions of BrF5 and...

The Coming of Materials Science

The Coming of Materials Science , Robert W. Cahn Pergamon, New York, 2001. $64.00 (568 pp.). isbn 0-08-042679-4 If one takes the broadest view, a significant fraction of modern-day physicists are materials scientists. Similarly, many chemis...

Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering
