Thermal conductivity of high latitude lunar regolith measured by Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) onboard Chandrayaan 3 lander.

The thermal conductivity of the lunar regolith is an essential parameter in studying the thermal behavior of the Moon and in planning future lunar exploration. The Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) aboard Vikram lander of the Indian Moon mission Chandrayaan 3 made the first in situ measurement of thermal conductivity of lunar regolith at southern high latitude using a thermal probe with ten temperature sensors at uneven intervals within 10 cm and a foil-type heater wound around the probe close to the nose tip. The ChaSTE thermal probe was inserted into the lunar regolith by a controlled motorized penetration in 29 hours.

The role of molecular biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment stratification of oral squamous cell carcinoma: A comprehensive review.

One of the most common cancers targeting the area of the head and neck is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), carrying a heavy global health cost. With a high incidence of metastasis and recurrence, the outlook for OSCC remains dismal despite advancements in treatment. This has sparked an investigation into molecular biomarkers, which have the potential to improve early diagnosis, forecast patient outcomes, and direct therapeutic approaches.

Importance of pesticide and additional food in pest-predator system: a theoretical study.

Integrated pest management (IPM) combines chemical and biological control to maintain pest populations below economic thresholds. The impact of providing additional food for predators on pest-predator dynamics, along- side pesticide use, in the IPM context remains unstudied. To address this issue, in this work a theoretical model was developed using differential equations, assuming Holling type II functional response for the predator, with additional food sources included.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel pyrazolo-oxothiazolidine derivatives as antiproliferative agents against human lung cancer cell line A549.

An efficient, one-pot multicomponent reaction of novel pyrazolo-oxothiazolidine derivatives was achieved by condensation of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)-3-(substituted-arylprop-2-en-1-ones, thiosemicarbazide and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates under the optimized reaction conditions. Synthesised compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against A549 human lung cancer cell line. Among all the tested compounds, 4a (IC - 0.

Halogen bonding in fluorine: experimental charge density study on intermolecular F···F and F···S donor-acceptor contacts.

The enigmatic type II C-F···F-C and C-F···S-C interactions in pentafluorophenyl 2,2'-bithiazole are shown to be realistic "σ-hole" interactions based on high resolution X-ray charge density analysis.
