Jet impingement in engineering applications is used because of the capacity to transport high levels of heat flux from a surface of interest for cooling purposes. Thus far, based on a vast database of experiments and numerical simulations, several correlations have been established for local and average heat transfer on target surfaces as functions of relevant fluid properties and geometric parameters. In addition to the Read More

The development of fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors for selective recognition and sensing of cations has received significant attention in recent decades attributed to their diverse applications in the area of environmental and biological sciences. Chemosensors for the detection of different ions offer advantages, such as high selectivity, sensitivity, low cost and rapid response time with versatility. Therefore, a large n Read More

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play significant roles in various physiological and pathological proces ses via interacting with the proteins. The existing experimental methods used for predicting ncRNA-protein interactions are costly and time-consuming. Therefore, an increasing number of machine learning models have been developed to efficiently predict ncRNA-protein interactions (ncRPIs), including shallow machine learning and Read More

Background: CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) uses non-functional Cas9 endonuclease (dCas9) but retains the genome targeting ability through its single guide RNAs (sgRNAs). CRISPRa is widely used as a gene activation system exploiting its ability in recruiting various transcriptional activation domains (TADs) for enhancing expression of the target gene(s). Drought tolerant and resource-efficient crops like millets have the poten Read More

Scintillators are currently widely used in high energy physics, nuclear physics, nuclear medical imaging, industrial exploration, security inspection and so on. The development of new applications puts forward the new requirements for scintillators, and it is becoming extremely urgent to discover the new scintillators. In recent years, perovskite materials present their advantages in the field of solar cell, light-emitting diode Read More

Aims: The study aimed at investigating interactions between zinc(II) complexes with different geometrical structures and relevant nitrogen donor nucleophiles at physiological pH. Background: Lack of clear distinction between the therapeutic and toxic doses of platinum drugs is a major challenge for the design of novel non-platinum DNA and protein targeting metal-based anticancer agents. The non-platinum antitumor c Read More
