Numerical optimization of anti resonant hollow core fiber for high sensitivity methane detection.

This study presents an innovative methane gas sensor design based on anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (AR-HCF) technology, optimized for high-precision detection at 3.3[Formula: see text]. Our numerical analysis explores the geometric optimization of the AR-HCF's structural parameters, incorporating real-world component specifications.

Role of viruses in periodontitis: An extensive review of herpesviruses, human immunodeficiency virus, coronavirus-19, papillomavirus and hepatitis viruses.

Periodontitis is the inflammation of the supporting structures around the dentition. Several microbial agents, mostly bacteria, have been identified as causative factors for periodontal disease. On the other hand, oral cavity is a rich reservoir for viruses since it contains a wide variety of cell types that can be targeted by viruses.

Electrothermal mineralization of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances for soil remediation.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and bioaccumulative pollutants that can easily accumulate in soil, posing a threat to environment and human health. Current PFAS degradation processes often suffer from low efficiency, high energy and water consumption, or lack of generality. Here, we develop a rapid electrothermal mineralization (REM) process to remediate PFAS-contaminated soil.
