A study of SGLT2 inhibitors on levels of plasma atherogenesis biomarkers in diabetes.

Background: Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder with microvascular and macrovascular complications. Metabolites of hyperglycemia mediates endothelial injury resulting in cascade of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis sets up plaque in vessel wall and obliterates the vascular lumen which results in stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease.

Valorization of Agriculture Residues into Value-Added Products: A Comprehensive Review of Recent Studies.

Global agricultural by-products usually go to waste, especially in developing countries where agricultural products are usually exported as raw products. Such waste streams, once converted to "value-added" products could be an additional source of revenue while simultaneously having positive impacts on the socio-economic well-being of local people. We highlight the utilization of thermochemical techniques to activate and convert agricultural waste streams such as rice and straw husk, coconut fiber, coffee wastes, and okara power wastes commonly found in the world into porous activated carbons and biofuels.

All-protonic fuel cell designs and developments fuelled by ammonia.

Ammonia is a gas that produces zero carbon emissions when used in energy storage systems. Hence, there is increasing interest for the application of ammonia as fuel in various energy storage devices, specifically solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as it has the potential to be efficient and environmentally friendly. In addition, compared to other fuel cells, SOFCs fed with ammonia offer various benefits such as such as sustainability and safety.

Toward Achieving a High Ionic Conducting Halide Solid Electrolyte through Low-Cost Metal (Zr and Fe) and F Substitution and Their Admirable Performance in All-Solid-State Batteries.

Recently, the halide solid electrolyte (SE) system has been widely used in lithium solid-state batteries due to their specific properties, such as the high electrochemical stability window that prevents any side reaction with the electrode/electrolyte interface. Conspicuously, the halide SE possesses very low ionic conductivity values in the range (0.2-0.
