Abstract Cell surface receptors play vital roles in cancer growth and metastasis. Integrin αvβ3 is overexpressed in various cancer cells and interacts with different growth factors to stimulate cancer progression. Thyroid hormone binds to αvβ3 to activate signal transduction and cell proliferation. However, thyroxine (T4) deaminated analogue, tetraiodothyronine (tetrac), competes for the binding on integrin...
Abstract This paper investigates conditions under which a matrix over an involutory division ring can be expressed as a product of Hermitian matrices, and estimates the minimal length of such factorizations. Let D be a division ring with center F and involution ⁎. Among others, we prove the following results: (1) every non-invertible square matrix over D is the product of...
Abstract Paper waste sludge (PWS) generated by the pulp and paper industry is a cellulose-rich residue that remains largely underutilized and presents disposal challenges. In this study, an integrated chemical–biological process was developed to valorize PWS into high-value bacterial cellulose (BC) through sulfuric acid–catalyzed hydrolysis followed by fermentation with Acetobacter xylinum. The hydrolysis step was statistically...
Abstract The rapid growth of information dissemination on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, along with the widespread of mobile devices, has intensified the need for early yet accurate rumor detection methods. While existing hybrid machine learning models integrating natural language processing (NLP) and graph neural networks (GNNs) show promising results but often lack...
Abstract In this work, TiO2@g–C3N4 was synthesized and formulated as a novel ready-to-use screen-printable paste for water splitting applications. Various analytical methods were employed to examine the composition, morphological characteristics, and optical properties of the individual materials and the resulting heterojunction. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting was investigated under illumination of 100 mW cm-2 using linear chopped-light chronoamperometry...
Abstract We investigate the coupled evolution of heterogeneous strain, crystallinity, and stress fields in natural rubber (NR) sheets containing a circular hole during uniaxial stretching, with a focus on how strain-induced crystallization (SIC) influences local stress concentration at structural discontinuities. By high-resolution digital image correlation, an empirical strain-crystallinity relationship and a hyperelasticity analysis firmly grounded...
Abstract Freshwater scarcity is a critical issue in Vietnam, particularly in the Mekong Delta, a densely populated region with an agriculture-based economy. This scarcity is largely driven by saltwater intrusion during the dry season, severely affecting both agriculture and the local economy. In response, advanced desalination technologies have been proposed. In this study, we investigated...
Abstract The presence of phosphorus in livestock sewage is a key factor that causes eutrophication and the degradation of ecological water quality. Cyclopentane (CP) hydrate-based water treatment technique was utilized for the efficient total removal of phosphorus in effluents. This study assesses the treatment effectiveness and enrichment potential of hydrate technology when applied to real-world samples, specifically livestock wastewater....
Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of a hydrate-based water purification process on high-salinity and wastewater samples. Testing involved a 4-L-scale novel apparatus using HFC134a as a guest molecule during a continuous hydrate formation–pelletization–dissolution process. Each stage of the succeeded in removing 80–85% of individual dissolved contaminants from highly polluted water. This is the first study to...
Abstract This study investigates the removal characteristics of a hydrate-based water purification process used to remove the major radionuclides monitored in nuclear accident areas. The effect of the coexistence of salt ions on the removal of radioactive materials is also evaluated. Previous studies have found existing processes such as ion exchange and membrane separation to be reliable methods for radionuclide removal from contaminated water. However, these...
