We have computed the electronic structure and transport properties of FeTaZ (Z = Al, Ga, In) alloys by the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method. The magnetic conduct in accordance with the Slater-Pauling rule classifies them as non-magnetic alloys with total zero magnetic moment. The semiconducting band profile and the density of states in the post DFT treatment are used to estimate the relations among various transport parameters such as Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and figure of merit. The Seebeck coefficient variation and band profiles describe the p-type behavior of charge carriers. The electrical and thermal conductivity plots follow the semiconducting nature of bands along the Fermi level. The overall measurements show that semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory has well-behaved potential in predicting the transport properties of such functional materials, which may find the possibility of their experimental synthesis for future applications in thermoelectric technologies.

Aptamers represent a distinct category of short nucleotide sequences or peptide molecules characterized by their ability to bind to specific targets with high precision. These molecules are predominantly synthesized through SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) technology. Recent findings indicate that aptamers may have significant applications in regenerative medicine, particularly in the domain of tissue repair.

Cholesterol aggregation in dendritic cells (DCs) triggers an inflammatory response and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis (AS). Resveratrol (RES), a natural compound with anti-inflammatory and cholesterol metabolism regulatory properties, has been shown to influence the maturation and inflammatory functions of DCs. However, its relationship with cholesterol metabolism remains unclear.

The ability of nanofluids to improve heat transmission in thermal systems is well established. This work investigates the three-dimensional theoretical behavior of Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluids in tilted magnetohydrodynamics. In this study, the Soret effect, micro-motile organisms, thermophoresis, and heat radiation are also considered.

Water-in-salt electrolytes provide an expanded electrochemical potential window, thus enabling a wide range of battery chemistries based on readily available salts and water. This study introduces a binary salt approach for achieving high K concentration with a tunable solvation sphere composed of acetate (Ac) and trifluoromethane sulfonate (OTf) anions, and water. Combining the hydrophilic low-cost potassium acetate with hydrophobic potassium trifluoromethane sulfonate salts, 36 molal liquid electrolyte, K(Ac)(OTf)·1.
