Assessment of Bacterial Community Structure, Associated Functional Role, and Water Health in Full-Scale Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants.

The present study collected wastewater samples from fourteen (14) full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) at different treatment stages, namely, primary, secondary, and tertiary, to understand the impact of WWTP processes on the bacterial community structure, their role, and their correlation with environmental variables (water quality parameters). The findings showed that the bacterial communities in the primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment stages are more or less similar. They are made up of 42 phyla, 84 classes, 154 orders, 212 families, and 268 genera.

Accuracy of privacy preserving record linkage for real world data in the United States: a systemic review.

Objectives: Examine the accuracy of privacy preserving record linkage (PPRL) matches in real world data (RWD).

Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review to identify articles evaluating PPRL methods from January 1, 2013 to June 15, 2023. Eligible studies included original research reporting quantitative metrics such as precision and recall in health-related data sources.

Harnessing the Sulfur-for-Oxygen Shift: A Magic Bullet for Dynamic Photophysical and Anticancer Activities of Indole-Barbituric Acid Construct.

The development of small molecule-based drugs emerged as a cornerstone of modern drug discovery. Structural activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry are crucial for lead optimization, where a subtle change in the substituent can significantly alter its binding affinity with the biological target. Herein, a highly efficient single-atom substitution (SAS) approach has been developed, where sulfur for oxygen strategy is utilized as a powerful molecular editing technique to identify N-vinyl Indole-thiobarbituric acid (6 a) as a novel small molecule-based scaffold with tunable photophysical and antiproliferative activities.

Mitochondrial genetic diversity of pest and vector species, Frankliniella schultzei (Thripidae: Thripinae).
