Synthesis of biologically active cefpodoxime and vanillin-based schiff base metal complexes with the detailed biological evaluations.

Schiff bases of existing antimicrobial drugs are an area, which is still to be comprehensively explored to improve drug efficiency against consistently resisting bacterial species. In this study, we have targeted a new and eco-friendly method of condensation reaction that allows the "green synthesis" as well as improved biological efficacy. The transition metal complexes of cefpodoxime with well-enhanced biological activities were synthesized.

The paradoxical effects of high involvement work practices on employees and service outcomes: a trichromatic perspective.

This research delves into the complex impact of High Involvement Work Practices (HIWPs) on various facets of employee well-being and service outcomes within the framework of the trichromatic service conception. Utilizing the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, the study uncovers the dual, both beneficial and detrimental, effects of HIWPs on service performance, work-family conflict, subjective well-being, and work-family enrichment. Examining the conflicting paths of job demands (workload) and job resources (customer orientation), the analysis incorporates the moderating influence of a strategic contextual factor-supervisor support.

A comprehensive correlated analysis of Ra-Doped (ZnO, ZnO) for optoelectronic applications: a first-principle study.

Context: Zinc oxide (ZnO) exhibits bulk-like behavior and is modified by radium doping to attain favorable electronic properties. The elastic and mechanical response of ZnO is much more favorable than ZnO material. The change in thermal expansion, Debye temperature, free energy, entropy, and specific heat leads it to be a good candidate for thermodynamic applications at low and high temperatures.

Comparative Effect of Inoculation of Phosphorus-Solubilizing Bacteria and Phosphorus as Sustainable Fertilizer on Yield and Quality of Mung Bean ( L.).

Globally, the availability of phosphorus (P) to crops remains limited in two-thirds of the soils, which makes it less accessible to plants and ultimately associated with low crop yields. The present study investigated the effect of phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB; spp.) for the improvement of phosphorus in mung bean () varieties and growth of net grain and biological yields.

CRISPR/Cas9: A powerful genome editing technique for the treatment of cancer cells with present challenges and future directions.

Cancer is one of the most leading causes of death and a major public health problem, universally. According to accumulated data, annually, approximately 8.5 million people died because of the lethality of cancer.

New insights on possible vaccine development against SARS-CoV-2.

In December 2019, a novel virus, namely COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2, developed from Wuhan, (Hubei territory of China) used its viral spike glycoprotein receptor-binding domain (RBD) for the entrance into a host cell by binding with ACE-2 receptor and cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Data revealed that the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 affected more than 24,854,140 people with 838,924 deaths worldwide. Until now, no licensed immunization or drugs are present for the medication of SARS-CoV-2.

Selenium-enriched probiotics improve hepatic protection by regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and antioxidant capacity in broilers under heat stress conditions.

Objective: High ambient temperature in poultry is a challenging and fatal stress among environmental factors. It affects the production quality, damages the liver, and increases mortality in broilers. The present study is focused to explore appropriate utilization of Selenium (Se) as a feed additive in broiler chickens against high temperature.

Chlorinated Polymers for Efficient Solar Cells with High Open Circuit Voltage: The Influence of Different Thiazole Numbers.

The chlorination strategy has gradually become a promising approach to improve the open circuit voltage (V ) in polymer solar cells. In this work, by using an efficient thiazole-induced strategy in a polymer backbone, three thieno[3,4-b]thiophene (TT)-based polymers-PBClTTz-0, PBClTTz-1, and PBClTTz-2-are designed and synthesized with a Cl-substituted benzodithiophene (BDT) moiety and a thiazole unit as a π spacer. As expected, all of the polymers show a desirable open circuit voltage (V ) of >0.

Tailoring the structures and photonic properties of low-dimensional organic materials by crystal engineering.

Low-dimensional organic materials have given rise to tremendous interest in optoelectronic applications, owing to their controllable photonic properties. However, the controlled-synthesis approaches for organic nano-/micro-architectures are very difficult to attain, because the weak interaction (van der Waals force) between the organic molecules cannot dominate the kinetic process of crystal growth. We report a simple method, which involves selective adhesion to the organic crystal plane by hydrogen-bonding interaction for modulating the crystal growth process, which leads either to the self-assembly of one organic molecule into two-dimensional (2D) microsheets with an obvious asymmetric light propagation or one-dimensional (1D) microrods with low propagation loss.

Regulating Molecular Aggregations of Polymers via Ternary Copolymerization Strategy for Efficient Solar Cells.

For many high-performance photovoltaic materials in polymer solar cells (PSCs), the active layers usually need to be spin-coated at high temperature due to the strong intermolecular aggregation of donor polymers, which is unfavorable in device repeatability and large-scale PSC printing. In this work, we adopted a ternary copolymerization strategy to regulate polymer solubility and molecular aggregation. A series of D-A-D-A random polymers based on different acceptors, strong electron-withdrawing unit ester substituted thieno[3,4-b]thiophene (TT-E), and highly planar dithiazole linked TT-E (DTzTT) were constructed to realize the regulation of molecular aggregation and simplification of device fabrication.

Ultrasound user-identification for wireless sensor networks.

Indoor localization and asset tracking is an area of research which is finding increasing application in monitoring the wellbeing of elderly subjects in hospital or residential care environments. Radio frequency (RF) based localization methods tend to show poor performance in indoor environments, due to multipath scatter, and simple room-level misassociations, resulting from the relative transparency of some walls to RF waves. Ultrasound (US) localization has shown excellent room-level accuracy, and as US will not easily penetrate walls, room-level misassociations do not often occur.
