Generating large omics datasets has become routine for gaining insights into cellular processes, yet deciphering these datasets to determine metabolic states remains challenging. Kinetic models can help integrate omics data by explicitly linking metabolite concentrations, metabolic fluxes and enzyme levels. Nevertheless, determining the kinetic parameters that underlie cellular physiology poses notable obstacles to the widespread use of these mathematical representations of metabolism.

- * In a retrospective analysis of 73 pediatric patients (ages 4-20), both CAD systems, FlyerScan and MONAI, were assessed for detecting lung nodules of varying sizes; results showed a decline in sensitivity for low-dose scans.
- * Specifically, FlyerScan had sensitivities of 76.9% for standard-dose and 66.8% for low-dose, while MONAI had 67.6% and 62.3% respectively, indicating a notable decrease in performance on low-dose scans
Article Synopsis
- A new eco-friendly method for producing graphene using ultrasonic-assisted liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) in a green solvent is presented, achieving a high concentration of 3.2 mg/ml in just 3 hours of ultrasonication.
- The method combines acetophenone and isopropyl alcohol to enhance the exfoliation of graphite, resulting in high-yield (16%) turbostratic graphene with fewer defects, confirmed through various characterization techniques.
- The study further explores the use of the conductive polymer polyaniline (PANI) combined with graphene for supercapacitor applications, showing that the PANI/graphene nanocomposite achieves the highest specific capacitance of 126.16 mF/cm at a current density
Background: Public policy measures aimed at regulating tobacco use should consider the net gains for the nation, as the tobacco sector contributes to employment and tax revenue while also imposing substantial economic burden on the country. This study investigates the economy-wide impact of reducing tobacco consumption in India through the implementation of fiscal measures.
Methods: The study uses a computable general equilibrium model based on the Global Trade Analysis Project model and database and augments the same with several country-specific information on tobacco products, to examine the macroeconomic impact of a targeted reduction in the consumption of bidis, cigarettes and smokeless tobacco by 10% by the year 2026 through the adoption of fiscal measures.
