Exploring the Synergistic Effects of Heavy Metal contaminants on Aquatic Organisms
Abstract: Human activities have a profound effect on aquatic habitats by altering water and sediment quality, which in turn impacts resident organisms. These changes are primarily caused by pollutants from agricultural, industrial, and health-related sources. Industrial effluents, often containing hazardous heavy metals such as chromium, manganese, and lead, are a major source of environmental toxicity. The discharge of these pollutants makes water unsafe for drinking, irrigation, and industrial uses, necessitating effective …

Assessment of Matrix Cracking and Fiber Breakage in Hybrid Composite Materials.
Abstract: Hybrid composite materials, combining two or more distinct fiber or matrix constituents, have emerged as advanced structural solutions for aerospace, automotive, marine, and civil engineering applications. However, their complex microstructure makes them susceptible to multiple interacting damage mechanisms, particularly matrix cracking and fiber breakage. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of these damage modes, emphasizing their initiation, evolution, and combined effects on the mechanical integrity of hybrid composites. Matrix cracking …

Modulation of Receptor Proteins: A Recent Paradigm in Drug Discovery and Target
Abstract: The main aim in drug discovery is to design different ligands those work on specific drug targets. However, various effective drugs work through the modulation of many proteins than single target. Advancement in system biology are establishing a phenotypic strength and a network structure, which suggests that, the excellent selective compounds may be performed less than desired clinical efficacy in comparison to multi-target drugs. In this new appreciation of the …
