Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have garnered significant attention as extraction media owing to their commendable attributes of being environmentally sustainable and the inherent adaptability of DES's versatile physical and chemical characteristics. The present study investigated the effects of deep eutectic solvents on the total contents of anthocyanin, phenolic, and flavonoids, as well as the antioxidant activity of Thai pigmented rice bran extract. The optimal extraction parameters for deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasonic-assisted extraction (DES-UAE) were also determined using the response surface methodology (RSM).

The main focus of the present work is to combine the existing fluid models in ordered to get a new class of fluid. The unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Oldroyd-B fluid (OBF) with couple stresses, porosity, heat and mass transfer is considered in the present analysis.

Although the thermal efficiency of the nanofluid was effective but still the nano scientists were trying to introduce some new advance class of fluid. Therefore, an advance class of fluid is developed by the dispersion of two different nano sized particles in the conventional base fluid known as "Hybrid nanofluid" which is more effective compared to simple nanofluids in many engineering and industrial applications.

The ternary hybrid nanofluid is prepared by the dispersion of ternary nanoparticles (AlO, SiO, and TiO) in the Carreau Yasuda fluid. The velocity and heat transportation has been examined in the existence of the Darcy Forchhemier influence and heat source/sink.

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), which utilizes microwave radiation to heat the extraction solvent quickly and effectively, was used to recover DMC-rich extract from fruit. To determine the DMC content, a highly accurate and precise HPLC technique was developed.

The specific cause of AML is unclear, but it induces abnormality of white blood cells that grow rapidly and accumulate in bone marrow interfering with the production and functions of the normal blood cells. AML patients face poor prognosis and low quality of life during chemotherapy or transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells due to the progressive impairment of their immune system.
