Impact of Tray and Freeze Drying on Physico-Chemical and Functional Properties of Underutilized ().

Roxb. (), an underutilized minor fruit from Assam, holds significant potential as it exhibits substantial traditional medicinal properties. However, its preservation and utilization remain limited, necessitating effective processing techniques.

Fabrication of Stable Ru-Doped NiSe Nanostructures for Photovoltaic Coupled Electrochemical Water Splitting in Alkaline Medium.

Development of a competent and stable electrocatalyst coupled with photovoltaic system for the generation of green hydrogen, can be a plausible answer to the existing energy crisis. Herein, we have developed Ru doped NiSe via hydrothermal method as a bifunctional catalyst for overall water splitting coupled with photovoltaic system. The developed pristine and doped samples were thoroughly characterized by various techniques.

The moderating role of social media motives in the relationship between screen usage and cybervictimization.

Background: Screen time is on the rise among youth, and as a result, cyberbullying victimization has become increasingly prevalent. While prior research has established a positive correlation between screen usage and cyberbullying victimization, a paucity of research has explored how motives for screen usage are associated with cyberbullying victimization and moderate the positive association between screen usage and cyberbullying victimization.

Objective: The present study sought to address these research gaps by exploring the association between motives for screen usage and cyberbullying victimization and examining whether these motives moderate the association between screen time and cyberbullying.

Influence of Keto-Enol Tautomerism in Regulating CO Photoreduction Activity in Porous Organic Porphyrinic Photopolymers.

Photoassisted CO reduction employing a metal-free system is both challenging and fascinating. In our study, we present a structural engineering strategy to tune the potential energy barrier, which, in turn, affects the photoreduction ability. A series of porphyrin-based porous organic polymers () were hydrothermally synthesized and the influence of keto-enol tautomerization on the CO photoreduction potential has been rigorously investigated.

L-Proline catalyzed multi-component synthesis of -pyridyl-tetrahydroisoquinolines and their α-C(sp)-H oxygenation.

Herein, we report an effective multi-component synthesis that starts with readily available starting materials and accesses poly-substituted pyridine derivatives by using L-proline as a benign catalyst. This process uses cyclic amines, aldehydes, and malononitrile in a condensation reaction to produce a variety of pyridine derivatives under mild conditions. Furthermore, depending on the catalysts used, the selective synthesis of an amide and/or an aldehyde functionality is achieved through α-C(sp)-H oxygenation of the tertiary amine moiety in the resultant pyridine derivatives.
