Regional Variation in Amino Acid Composition, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity of Tasar Sericin from North and South Bihar
Abstract: This study investigates geographical differences in biochemical and functional characteristics of sericin obtained from Antheraea mylitta cocoons sourced from two regions of Bihar, India: Bhagalpur (North) and Banka (South). Sericin was isolated via an alkali-assisted autoclaving process. Amino acid profiles were determined using HPLC. Free radical scavenging capacity was measured through DPPH, ABTS, and hydrogen peroxide assays. Antibacterial and antifungal effects were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida …

Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …

Activation Energy in Photochemical and Thermally Driven Reactions: Mechanistic Insights, Kinetic Modelling and Photocatalytic Applications
Abstract: Chemical reactions constitute fundamental processes in which reactants are transformed into products through the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. In photochemical systems, these transformations are initiated or influenced by the absorption of light, making energy transfer mechanisms particularly significant. A key parameter governing reaction kinetics is activation energy, defined as the minimum energy required for reactant molecules to undergo a successful transformation. This article focuses on the role of …

A Survey on Hydrogen Storage System using Composite Material and its Alloys
Abstract: The transition to a carbon-neutral energy landscape hinges on the ability to store hydrogen safely, densely, and reversibly. While high-pressure tanks and cryogenic vessels dominate today’s infrastructure, solid-state storage in metallic alloys offers a compelling alternative by combining high gravimetric capacity with intrinsic safety to form a composite material. This work presents a systematic investigation of a family of reversible hydrogen-absorbing composite material alloys—principally Mg-based intermetallics (Mg₂Ni, MgFeMn) and TiV-based …

Generative Design of Bioactive Orthopedic Composites for Fracture Repair Using an Integrated Conditional GAN–Transformer Framework: A Multi-Objective Approach
Abstract: Orthopedic composite implants for fracture repair must simultaneously satisfy conflicting mechanical and biological demands: high fracture toughness, sufficient compressive stiffness, and bioactive surface chemistry enabling osteoblast adhesion and mineralization. Existing design approaches rely on trial-and-error experimentation, yielding sub-optimal trade-offs between these objectives. This paper presents an integrated conditional Generative Adversarial Network–Transformer (cGAN-T) framework for fully computational, multi-objective generative design of hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced polymer composite microstructures targeting Orthopedic fracture repair. A …

Machine-Learning-Assisted Development of Polymer-Biochar Composite Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Gomti River Water
Abstract: Rapid urbanization, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff pose a significant threat to freshwater sustainability and public health. Within these ecosystems, polymer pollutants—such as microplastics, nanoplastics, synthetic fibres, and additive residues—have emerged as persistent vectors capable of adsorbing and transporting toxic heavy metals. Because these polymeric contaminants dynamically interact with conventional aquatic parameters to alter pollutant mobility and ecological risk profiles, there is an urgent need to transition from passive environmental …
