Background: Restrained by the aggregation-causing quenching of conventional fluorophores, the design and synthesis of solid-state emissive materials is a persistent pursuit for scientists. The discovery of aggregation-induced emission provides an efficient strategy for preparing solidstate emissive luminogens. Objective: A multifunctional solid-state emissive material DMBTPE was prepared from tetraphenylethylene and N- Read More

Background: Perovskite glass-ceramics have attracted the attention of researchers and scientists due to their wide range of applications in energy storage devices, solar cells, photovoltaic cells, etc. Barium titanate is the first discovered perovskite glass-ceramics. After the discovery of barium titanate, several perovskite glass-ceramics have been discovered. Several substitutions have also been attempted for the progress of pe Read More

Background: This study aims at exploring the advances in data repositories for predicting interactions between non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and corresponding proteins. NcRNAs are a class of ribonucleic acid that lacks the potential for protein translation. A series of studies indicated that ncRNAs play critical roles in epigenetic regulations, chromatin remodeling, transcription process, and post-transcriptional processing. Sin Read More

Background: Adathoda vasica is the most well-known medicinal herb to treat respiratory conditions. The leaves of Adathoda vasica have been found to exert a stimulant effect on the respiratory system. Adathoda vasica leaves contain rich content of alkaloids that contribute to most of the pharmacological activity. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Adathoda vasica extract against the respiratory pa Read More

Environmental stresses adversely impact crop production, crop quality, and product safety. Climate change is predicted to exacerbate the impacts of stresses on current cropping systems with multilateral impacts on crop productivity and yield, biodiversity, soil fertility, microbial activity, and carbon sequestration. Transforming crop production systems and developing stress and climate- resilient crops are paramount to allevia Read More

Background: The versatile 2-alkynylbenzamde has been reported to produce many privileged skeletons, like isoquinolin-1-ones, isocoumarin-1-imines, isoindolin-1-ones, and isobenzofuran- 1-imines. Recently, we reported the projected transformation using copper salt (CuCl2) as a catalyst under the O2 atmosphere. To expand the scope of the reaction, we used another inexpensive metal salt, MnO2, as a catalyst. Methods: Read More
