Diverse Cyclization Pathways Between Nitriles with Active -Methylene Group and Ambiphilic 2-Pyridylselenyl Reagents Enabled by Reversible Covalent Bonding.

Herein, we describe a novel coupling between ambiphilic 2-pyridylselenyl reagents and nitriles featuring an active α-methylene group. Depending on the solvent employed, this reaction can yield two distinct types of cationic pyridinium-fused selenium-containing heterocycles, 1,3-selenazolium or 1,2,4-selenadiazolium salts, in high yields. This is in contrast to what we observed before for other nitriles.

ChMinMaxPat: Investigations on Violence and Stress Detection Using EEG Signals.

Background And Objectives: Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, often termed the letters of the brain, are one of the most cost-effective methods for gathering valuable information about brain activity. This study presents a new explainable feature engineering (XFE) model designed to classify EEG data for violence detection. The primary objective is to assess the classification capability of the proposed XFE model, which uses a next-generation feature extractor, and to obtain interpretable findings for EEG-based violence and stress detection.

The Effects of Chia Seed (Salvia hispanica L.) Consumption on Blood Pressure and Body Composition in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Purpose: Growing evidence has suggested that the consumption of chia seed can decrease blood pressure and obesity in adults. However, even studies have reported uncertain findings. The current meta-analysis aimed to assess the findings of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of chia seed supplementation on blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP]) and body composition (waist circumference [WC], weight, body mass index [BMI]) in adults.

Green finance and renewable energy growth in developing nations: A GMM analysis.

This research aims to examine the interrelationship between green finance and its influence on the renewable energy industry in a sample of 30 developing nations from 1990 to 2018. The main aim of this study is to investigate the interconnected effects between green bonds, investments in renewable energy, and carbon markets, with a specific emphasis on the influence of the banking system in shaping these interrelationships. To accomplish this objective, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is utilized to examine the data and comprehend the intricate interrelationships among the variables.

Bimetallic metal-organic framework based dispersive solid phase extraction followed by using a carbon dot solution as the elution solvent; application in the extraction of imidacloprid and acetamiprid from pepper samples.

This study focuses on the dispersive solid phase extraction technique for the efficient extraction and enrichment of imidacloprid and acetamiprid from pepper samples. A synthesized sorbent was used for this purpose. Once the target analytes were adsorbed, the sorbent was separated using a centrifuge and the analytes were desorbed using a carbon dot solution.

Protective Effects of Oxyresveratrol in IsoproterenolInduced Myocardial Infarction in Rats: A Stereological Study.

The aim of this study is to examine the protective effect of oxyresveratrol (OXY) against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats, through routine biochemical parameters and oxidative stress parameters that show heart damage. Oxyresveratrol was administered by oral gavage at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, once a day for 5 days. On the fourth and fifth days, 180 mg/kg isoproterenol was administered intraperitoneally to the OXY treatment group and control groups.

Do green energy, command and control-based environmental regulations, and green growth catalysts for sustainable development? New evidence from China.

Sustainable development constitutes a comprehensive framework that integrates various economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Within this paradigm, the environmental aspect assumes particular prominence. In this context, we focus on the relationship between pro-environmental policies and sustainable development in China, the world's largest polluter.

Do Systemic Inflammatory Indices, Urinalysis, and Radiological Findings Vary by Causative Pathogen in Neonatal Urinary Tract Infections?

Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common occult infections in infants under three months of age with high fever, caused by various pathogens, and can progress with different symptoms from mild to severe. We planned to explore and compare pathogen-specific systemic inflammatory indices, urinalysis, and radiological findings in newborns.

Methods: The retrospective study included preterm and term neonates with single pathogen growth of≥50.

siRNA-based knockdown of lncRNAs: A new modality to target tumor progression.

The Role of Pectin Hydrogel Systems Plus Iodine and Phyto Extract in Second-Degree Burn in Rats.

Skin injuries, such as burns, can result in an open wound that can lead to the deterioration of the skin, which acts as a protective barrier against external agents, and can cause serious health problems. Pectin, a plant-derived polysaccharide, is a suitable candidate for wound care due to its gel-forming ability and biocompatibility. Pectin absorbs wound exudates to form a soft gel and is known for its strong anti-inflammatory efects.

Combination of Phenylsilsesquioxane and Acetate Ligands as an Approach to a Record High Nuclear CuNa-Cage. Synthesis, Unique Structure, and Catalytic Activity.

Self-assembly synthesis of mixed-ligand (silsesquioxane/acetate) complex allows to isolate record high nuclear copper(II) Cu-cage (1). In the presence of two additional sodium ions, a unique molecular architecture, with triple combination of ligands (cyclic and acyclic silsesquioxanes as well as acetates), has been formed. The structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction based on the use of synchrotron radiation.
