On computing extended graph energies and their thermodynamic properties for benzenoid hydrocarbons.

In this paper, several graph-based descriptors are applied, including some extended energies, such as Sombor and Banhatti Sombor energies, for the prediction of some important thermodynamic properties of BHC. In fact, strong relationships are observed between such extended energies and many properties that include boiling point, Kovats retention index, formation enthalpy and entropy, octanol-water partition coefficient, and acentric factor. These results evidence that graph-based descriptors can be employed as a rapid and reliable tool for the prediction of thermodynamic properties.

Investigating Seidel energies and thermodynamic properties of benzenoid hydrocarbons through regression models.

In this article, we present the concept of extended Seidel energy by employing a generalized extended matrix to study various molecular properties, including the Kovats retention index, boiling point, enthalpy of formation, entropy, acentric factor, and octanol-water partition coefficient. Our research broadens the scope of energy matrices in graph theory, with a particular emphasis on Sombor energy, reduced Sombor energy, average Sombor energy, Banhatti Sombor energy and reduced Banhatti Sombor energy. We examined the correlation of these graph-based energy descriptors with the thermodynamic properties of Benzenoid hydrocarbons (BHC), uncovering strong relationships between these indices and different molecular attributes.

Innovative Strategies to Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance and Tolerance.

Antimicrobial resistance and tolerance are natural phenomena that arose due to evolutionary adaptation of microorganisms against various xenobiotic agents. These adaptation mechanisms make the current treatment options challenging as it is increasingly difficult to treat a broad range of infections, associated biofilm formation, intracellular and host adapted microbes, as well as persister cells and microbes in protected niches. Therefore, novel strategies are needed to identify the most promising drug targets to overcome the existing hurdles in the treatment of infectious diseases.

iCBLS: An interactive case-based learning system for medical education.

Medical students should be able to actively apply clinical reasoning skills to further their interpretative, diagnostic, and treatment skills in a non-obtrusive and scalable way. Case-Based Learning (CBL) approach has been receiving attention in medical education as it is a student-centered teaching methodology that exposes students to real-world scenarios that need to be solved using their reasoning skills and existing theoretical knowledge. In this paper, we propose an interactive CBL System, called iCBLS, which supports the development of collaborative clinical reasoning skills for medical students in an online environment.
