Advances in Porous Structure Design for Enhanced Piezoelectric and Triboelectric Nanogenerators: A Comprehensive Review.

Porous structures offer several key advantages in energy harvesting, making them highly effective for enhancing the performance of piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators (PENG and TENG). Their high surface area-to-volume ratio improves charge accumulation and electrostatic induction, which are critical for efficient energy conversion. Additionally, their lightweight and flexible nature allows for easy integration into wearable and flexible electronics.

Cytotoxic pregnane glycosides from (Forssk.).

(Forssk.) is a medicinal succulent plant belonging to the family Apocynaceae. The phytochemical examination of methanolic extract resulted in isolation of three unique new pregnane glycosides, quadrangulosides G-I (), their structures were elucidated utilising 1D, 2D NMR and ESI MS spectral studies.

Quasi-Newton optimised Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks for wind farm power prediction.

Having accurate and effective wind energy forecasting that can be easily incorporated into smart networks is important. Appropriate planning and energy generation predictions are necessary for these infrastructures. The production of wind energy is linked to instability and unpredictability.

Sustainable captive breeding practices for native Indonesian freshwater fish.

In Indonesia, the over-exploitation and habitat degradation of its biodiverse freshwater fish populations, has led to an urgent need for conservation of endangered fish species. A review is conducted on sustainable captive breeding practices for native Indonesian freshwater fish, with emphasis placed on the importance of ex situ conservation strategies. The key components of captive breeding such as ecological and biological research in the field; capturing, handling, and transportation of fish; selection of genetically diverse breeding stock; care and quarantine measures; feed acclimatization; and creation of reproductive facilities have been discussed.

MERS-CoV Infection and Its Impact on the Expression of TSLP Cytokine and IgG Antibodies: An In Vivo and In Vitro Study.

Purpose: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by epithelial cells that is involved in the activation of allergic disorders. To date, no study has examined TSLP induction during Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. Herein, we aimed to study the effects of the recombinant spike protein of MERS-CoV on TSLP production.
