The Aloe vera acemannan polysaccharides inhibit phthalate-induced cell viability, metastasis, and stemness in colorectal cancer cells.

Plasticizers are recognized as environmental pollutants that may be associated with a range of health concerns, including impacts on growth, development, and oncogenic risks. Previous research demonstrated that prolonged exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and its metabolite mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate contributes to chemotherapeutic drug resistance and stemness in colorectal cancer cells. Aloe vera, an herbaceous plant with a long-standing history in traditional medicine, has attracted considerable attention for its diverse pharmacological properties.

Extended Realities for Sensorially Diverse Children.

Learning space for children with different sensory needs, nowadays, can be interactive, multisensory experiences, designed collaboratively by 1) specialists in special-needs learning, 2) extended realities (XR) technologists, and 3) sensorial diverse children, to provide the motivation, challenge, and development of key skills. While traditional audio and visual sensors in XR are challenging for XR applications to meet the needs of visually and hearing impaired sensorial-diverse children, our research goes a step ahead by integrating sensory technologies including haptic, tactile, kinaesthetic, and olfactory feedback that was well received by the children. Our research also demonstrates the protocols for 1) development of a suite of XR-applications; 2) methods for experiments and evaluation; and 3) tangible improvements in XR learning experience.

Integrated smart dust monitoring and prediction system for surface mine sites using IoT and machine learning techniques.

The mining industry confronts significant challenges in mitigating airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution, necessitating innovative approaches for effective monitoring and prediction. This research focuses on the design and development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based real-time monitoring system tailored for PM pollutants in surface mines, specifically PM 1.0, PM 2.

Enhancing automotive cooling systems: composite fins and nanoparticles analysis in radiators.

Composites are driving positive developments in the automobile sector. In this study investigated the use of composite fins in radiators using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the fluid-flow phenomenon of nanoparticles and hydrogen gas. Our world is rapidly transforming, and new technologies are leading to positive revolutions in today's society.
