The phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of eight varieties of brown rice (BR) are reported. The total phenolic contents of BR ranged from 72.45 to 120.13mg of gallic acid equiv./100g. The phenolics from bound fraction contributed 40.6-50.2% of the total phenolic content. The total flavonoid contents of BR ranged from 75.90 to 112.03mg catechin equiv./100g. The flavonoids from the bound fraction contributed 26.9-48.2% of total flavonoids. Trans-ferulic acid was the predominant phenolic acid in BR. Total trans-ferulic acid content ranged from 161.42 to 374.81μg/100g. The percentage of trans-ferulic acid in bound fraction ranged from 96.4% to 99.2%. Only α- and γ-tocopherols and -tocotrienols were detected in BR with α-tocopherol and γ-tocotrienol being the predominant. The total peroxyl radical scavenging capacity (PSC) of BR ranged from 18.29 to 40.33mg vitamin C equiv./100g. The bound fraction contributed 67.2-77.2% of total PSC.

Introduction: Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) has been adopted for cervical cancer screening in Kenya and other Low-Middle Income Countries despite providing suboptimal results among HIV-infected women. It is mostly performed by nurses in health centers. Innovative ways of improving the performance of VIA in HIV-infected women are desired.

Enewetak Atoll underwent 43 historical nuclear tests from 1948 to 1958, including the first hydrogen bomb test, resulting in a substantial nuclear material fallout contaminating the Atoll and the lagoon waters. The radionuclide fallout material deposited in lagoon sediments and soil on the islands will remain for decades to come. With intensifying climate and extreme weather events, the possibility of redistribution of deposited radionuclide material has become a great concern.

A search for light long-lived particles decaying to displaced jets is presented, using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.7 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2022.

Improper management of wood impregnation chemicals and treated wood has led to soil contamination at many wood treatment sites, particularly with toxic substances like creosote oil and chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The simultaneous presence of these pollutants complicates the choice of soil remediation technologies, especially if they are to be applied in situ. In this laboratory study, we attempted to immobilise arsenic (As) and simultaneously degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (constituents of creosote oil) by applying a modified electrochemical oxidation method.

Accurate determination of plasma protein binding (PPB) is crucial in understanding the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, particularly for highly bound compounds where traditional methods may fall short. In this study, we present a pioneering approach for the precise determination of PPB that takes advantage of the lipophilicity of highly bound compounds. Twenty four highly bound compounds (with a fraction unbound (f) from 10 to 10) were tested with the most commonly used method, i.
