Utility of structural engineering on the monitoring of acrolein by aluminum nitride nano tube.

Context: The study delves into the adsorption process of acrolein (AC) onto both an untainted and a titanium-doped aluminum nitride nanotube (AlNNT) using computations based on density functional theory. As AC approaches the pure AlNNT, it exhibits a calculated adsorption energy (E) of -5.3 kcal/mol, underscoring the feeble nature of the adsorption.

Large-Area, High-Specific-Power Schottky-Junction Photovoltaics from CVD-Grown Monolayer MoS.

The deployment of two-dimensional (2D) materials for solar energy conversion requires scalable large-area devices. Here, we present the design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of monolayer MoS-based lateral Schottky-junction photovoltaic (PV) devices grown by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The device design consists of asymmetric Ti and Pt metal contacts with a work function offset to enable charge separation.

COV-ECGNET: COVID-19 detection using ECG trace images with deep convolutional neural network.

The reliable and rapid identification of the COVID-19 has become crucial to prevent the rapid spread of the disease, ease lockdown restrictions and reduce pressure on public health infrastructures. Recently, several methods and techniques have been proposed to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus using different images and data. However, this is the first study that will explore the possibility of using deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models to detect COVID-19 from electrocardiogram (ECG) trace images.

Numerical Investigation of Mixed Convection and Entropy Generation in a Wavy-Walled Cavity Filled with Nanofluid and Involving a Rotating Cylinder.

This numerical study considers the mixed convection and the inherent entropy generated in Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid filling a cavity containing a rotating conductive cylinder. The vertical walls of the cavity are wavy and are cooled isothermally. The horizontal walls are thermally insulated, except for a heat source segment located at the bottom wall.

Optimization of expression and purification of human mortalin (Hsp70): Folding/unfolding analysis.

Human mortalin is a Hsp70 mitochondrial protein that plays an essential role in the biogenesis of mitochondria. The deregulation of mortalin expression and its functions could lead to several age-associated disorders and some types of cancers. In the present study, we optimized the expression and purification of recombinant human mortalin by the use of two-step chromatography.
