A comprehensive review on Sustainable Pathways to Synthesize 2, 5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) from 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) via Oxidative Processes
Abstract: The increasing global concern over the environmental impact of traditional plastics derived from petroleum and natural gas has spurred a search for more sustainable alternatives. Bioplastics, which are derived from renewable sources and may be biodegradable, have garnered significant interest as eco-friendly materials. Among the promising building blocks for bioplastics, 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) has emerged due to its potential to enhance polymer properties. One key precursor for bioplastics, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), …

Chompound contaning oxadiazole derivatives and their potential therapeutic uses.
Abstract: Derivatives of oxadiazole or furadi azole rings constitute a significant class of heterocyclic substances. Oxadiazole is a heterocyclic, five-membered ring with two carbons, one oxygen atom, two nitrogen atoms, and two double bonds. They are produced by substituting two nitrogen (-N =) atoms for two methylene groups (= CH) in furan. The furan ring's aromaticity was significantly decreased by substituting these groups, resulting in a conjugated diene character. There were …

Health Assessment of Oil Immersed Transformer Using Fuzzy Logic
Abstract: A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Commonly, transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current in electric power applications. Mineral oil treats heart of the transformer, its functions are to insulate, suppress corona and arcing, and to serve as a coolant. The oil helps cool the transformer. Because it also provides part of the electrical …

Investigating The Alkalizing Potential of Chandanasava For Restoring Acid-Base Homeostasis in Renal Tubular Acidosis: A Computational and In Silico Pharmacological Study
Abstract: Chandanasava, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, is recognized for its potential alkalizing properties, which may help restore acid-base homeostasis in conditions such as renal tubular acidosis (RTA). This study aims to investigate the active components of Chandanasava and their interactions with key renal target proteins, Pendrin and Carbonic Anhydrase II, which are essential for maintaining acid-base balance. An in silico approach was utilized to explore the pharmacological potential of the phytochemicals …
