Metabolite variations in faba bean ingredients: Unraveling the links between off-flavors and chemical compounds.

Faba bean ingredients are attracting interest for their suitability in producing protein-rich plant-based foods. However, their sensory characteristics (e.g.

Exploring farmers' psychological perspectives on multimedia-based agro-advisory services.

Agro-advisory through multimedia plays a crucial role for improving farmers' access to information and serves as a ready reckoner for the stakeholders to make better and informed decisions. Although there is existing research on multimedia-based agro-advisory services (MAS), there remains a significant gap in understanding the psychological factors that affect their usage behaviour (UB), especially among agricultural stakeholders. This demands further investigation through region-specific studies to comprehensively address this gap and devise target-based interventions for their uptake.

Perinatal Nicotine Exposure Disrupts Hematopoietic Stem Cell Development and Elevates Influenza Susceptibility in Adulthood.

Tobacco use during pregnancy has many deleterious health consequences for not only the smoking mother, but also on the unborn fetus. Children of smoking mothers are reported to have higher frequency and severity of respiratory diseases later in life; however, the mechanisms driving this increased vulnerability are not clearly understood. One potential cause of increased disease susceptibility is an altered immune system, originating in epigenetically maladaptive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).

An easily synthesizable naphthalene-based sensing platform for Al and Zn ions: theoretical insights and live cells imaging.

A new naphthalene-derived Schiff base probe, 1-((2-(diphenylphosphino)ethylimino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (HL), has been demonstrated for fluorometric detection of Al and Zn ions. HL was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, and ESI-MS analyses. It exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity toward Al and Zn ions in a semi-aqueous medium (CHCN-HO; 4 : 1, v/v), remaining unaffected by other competing metal ions.

Self-referencing surface plasmon sensor for resolution enhancement.

In this paper, a self-referencing evanescent field sensor based on surface plasmon resonances is designed and fabricated. The sensor is based on sub-wavelength two-dimensional gold gratings and is optimized to detect changes in the surrounding refractive index for a water-like material. The sensor has a dedicated mode for self-referencing, which is isolated from the surrounding environment and can be used to correct errors due to temperature variations.
