Abstract Linear repetitive construction projects present unique challenges in optimizing both completion time and cost performance. Traditional scheduling techniques often struggle t...
Ag₃PO₄@ZnO kraft lignin composite for optimized photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using response surface methodology
Abstract This research explores the use of kraft lignin (KL), derived from pulping black liquor waste, as a supportive medium for Ag3PO4@ZnO (AZ-NC) p-n heterojunction and design a new cost-...
AI driven fault diagnosis approach for stator turn to turn faults in induction motors
Abstract Induction motors (IMs) are vital in industrial applications. Although all motor faults can disrupt its operation significantly, stator turn to turn faults (ITFs) are the most challe...
Author Correction: Impact of EV interfacing on peak-shelving and frequency regulation in a microgrid
Seasonal variation effect on different Physalis peruviana L. (Solanaceae) waste extracts and investigation of their efficacy against Culex pipiens and Musca domestica
Indoor air pollution inequalities among children and adolescents in Germany: an analysis of repeated cross-sectional data from GerES and KiGGS
Abstract Indoor air pollution may harm child health. Indoor air pollution inequalities among children and adolescents is under-researched. We analyzed associations between equivalized dispos...
Effect of column and pile configuration and dimension on shear performance of reinforced concrete pile caps
Abstract Despite extensive research on reinforced concrete (RC) pile caps, the influence of column and pile configuration and dimensions on their shear performance remains unexplored. This s...
Concurrent photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants using smart magnetically cellulose-based metal organic framework nanocomposite
Abstract Industrial activities, especially textiles and cosmetics, release harmful wastewater, threatening the environment and human health. Photocatalysis has emerged as an effective, eco-f...
Optimal micro-grid battery scheduling within a comprehensive smart pricing scheme
Abstract The challenge of optimizing battery operating revenue while mitigating aging costs remains inadequately addressed in current literature. This paper introduces a novel cost–benefit a...
Time-on-task and instructions help humans to keep up with AI: replication and extension of a comparison of creative performances
Abstract A growing number of studies have compared human and AI creative performance. These studies differ in AI chatbots, human populations, creativity tasks, and creativity indicators (e.g...
Multidimensional insights of electrochemical and quantum investigations of morpholinium cationic surfactants as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in acidic solution
Abstract Three novel morpholinium-cationic surfactants (coded: DCSM-8, DCSM-10, and DCSM-12) with chemical structure confirmed via FT-IR, HNMR, and mass analysis were applied for carbon stee...
Astaxanthin mitigates diabetic cardiomyopathy and nephropathy in HF/HFr/STZ diabetic rats via modulating NOX4, fractalkine, Nrf2, and AP-1 pathways
Abstract This study investigated the effects of astaxanthin (ASTA) on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and nephropathy (DN) in rats. Type 2 diabetes was induced through a high-fat/high-fructose...
Cymbopogon proximus Chiov’s extract improves insulin sensitivity in rats with dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance and underlying mechanisms
Abstract The worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing swiftly. Cymbopogon proximus (C. proximus) is a wild herbaceous plant utilized as a potent remedy in Egypti...
Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids attenuate MSG-induced neurodegeneration by modulating tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and VDR expression in rats
Abstract Monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced excitotoxicity is a major factor contributing to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Given the well-established roles of vitamin D (Vit D) an...
Out-of-step detection for synchronous generators using electrical power analysis and Durbin Watson testing
Abstract Shunt faults may cause significant fluctuations in the electrical output of the Synchronous Generators (SGs), leading to a loss of synchronization with the remaining power network....
