This study explored the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of diamagnetic aluminium (Al) substituted nickel-zinc-cobalt (Ni-Zn-Co) mixed spinel ferrites, though the research on this area is in the infancy stage. Single-phase cubic spinel structures with the 3̄ space group of the synthesized NiZnCoFeAl O (0 ≤ ≤ 0.12) ferrite samples were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The average particle size ranged from 0.67 to 0.39 μm. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns were indexed according to the space group 3, representing the particle's crystallinity. The optical band gaps ranged from 4.784 eV to 4.766 eV. Frequency-dependent dielectric constants and ac conductivity measurement suggested that the prepared ferrites were highly resistive. Relaxation times were reduced to a low value from 45.45 μs to 1.54 μs with the composition . The Curie temperatures ( ) were 615-623 K for all samples. Real part permeabilities ( ) were relatively stable up to an extended frequency range of 10 Hz with relative quality factors (RQF) of around 10. Tuning of the properties indicates that the fabricated ferrites may be promising for high-frequency electronic devices.

A full-scale structural search was performed using density functional theory calculations and a universal structural prediction evolutionary algorithm. This produced a lowest energy two-dimensional (2D) CoB structure. The CoB-1 global minimum structure has unusual inverse double sandwich features.

This study explores the effect of different extraction methods and preheat treatments in obtaining protein concentrate from pumpkin seed flour. The effects on the yield and functional properties of pumpkin seed protein concentrate (PSPC) were compared alongside microwave and conventional preheating methods using alkali, salt, and enzyme-assisted alkali extraction techniques. Analytical assessments included proximate analysis, soluble protein content, water solubility index (WSI), emulsification activity (EA) and stability (ES), foaming capacity (FC) and stability (FS), and antioxidant activity (AA).

Mycobacterial hemerythrin-like proteins (HLPs) are important for the survival of pathogens in macrophages. Their molecular mechanisms of function remain poorly defined but recent studies point to their possible role in nitric oxide (NO) scavenging. Unlike any nonheme diiron protein studied so far, the diferric HLP from (-HLP) reacts with NO in a multistep fashion to consume four NO molecules per diiron center.

Object: We aim to explore the immunomodulatory properties of T cells on different titanium nanotubes and the key immunological factors involved in this process.
Methods: Transcriptome data from GEO database of healthy people and healthy implants were used to analyze cell infiltration and factor distribution of adaptive immune using bioinformatics tools. T cells from activated rat were cultured on titanium nanotubes that were prepared by anodization with different diameters (P-0, NT15-30 nm, NT40-100 nm, NT70-200 nm).

Purpose: Tinnitus is considered a neurological disorder affecting both auditory and nonauditory networks. This study aimed to investigate the structural brain covariance network in tinnitus patients and analyze its altered topological properties.
Materials: Fifty three primary tinnitus patients and 67 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were included.
