Abstract

  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a vital diagnostic tool used by radiologists, and image quality is heavily dependent on the performance of radiofrequency (RF) coils. RF coils are important components of MRI scanners as they influence signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is crucial for hi... Read More

While AI in education is rapidly developing into a potential global equalizer, offering individual learning support and access to high-quality learning resources, there are large disparities in digitalization between countries and within countries. In low- and middle-income countries in particular, ... Read More

Global Warming has been a problem at the heart of Earth’s environmental issues for nearly 5 decades, with the potential to affect a significant portion of the global population. Changes in Earth’s climate due to the rise in global temperatures will have an enormous impact on communities ... Read More

    Fluorescent biosensors are novel pharmacological tools that allow real-time visualization of protein activations in cancerous cells, allowing biologists to visualize the dynamic pathways of proteins. The biosensor measures protein activity through genetically encoded För... Read More

Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are linked to an increase in oxidative stress and the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This research focuses on how controlled ROS activity and the selective targeting of pathological structures can ... Read More

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by a compromised skin barrier, excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and an abnormal immune response involving a complex interaction between cytokines such as IL-4, IL-13, IL-31, and TNF-&alph...

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 25% of greenhouse gas emissions are created from electricity and heat production. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) offer a promising renewable energy solution due to their affordability, ease of fabrication, and environmental benefits. However, the... Read More

In machine learning applications using sensitive, distributed big data, i.e., medical data, voting records, etc., it must be assured that model training data cannot be recovered or exposed publicly. Currently, this inhibits wide-scale analysis of sensitive data across research institutions and indus... Read More

Nutrition is a fundamental factor shaping human health, daily energy levels, well-being, and quality of life. A major report on the global food system states that less than 1% of the world's population follows a diet beneficial to both the planet and human health. According to The Lancet, approx...

The Primo Vascular System (PVS) has been hypothesized as a third circulatory system different from the blood and lymphatic systems, which might represent the anatomical substratum of acupuncture meridians and nodes. Recently, there has been emerging evidence that the PVS is critically involved in st... Read More

  Vitamin A, not naturally produced by the body, undergoes a series of metabolic steps to become retinyl esters, which are then stored and activated in the liver. Before being stored as retinyl ester in HSCs (hepatic stellate cells), though, the liver receives retinol bound to chylomicrons f... Read More

Sulfur ion pharmacopuncture is a newly developed treatment method of traditional Korean medicine (TKM). Sulfur ion pharmacopuncture is a form of pharmacopuncture that uses ionized sulfur compounds to induce tissue regeneration, immune modulation, and organ function restoration. This treatment method...

African Americans are often viewed as a monolithic group in the United States because Black people generally have been subjected to the same racism and prejudice throughout American society. While African Americans have had many similar experiences in the United States, their opinions on the current... Read More

Clove oil, Eugenia caryophyllata, is portrayed as an alternative form of local anesthesia through immersion. The active ingredient eugenol allows for clove oil to inhibit voltage gated sodium channels. Nevertheless, anesthesia administration through immersion is comparable to topical application on ...

Phthalocyanines (PCs) are of great interest as second-generation photosensitizers for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). They have strong absorption in the red and near-infrared region, high singlet oxygen quantum yield, and excellent photochemical stability. Although there are many experime... Read More

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Phoenix dactylifera (dates) on the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Drosophila melanogaster. AD is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that causes memory loss. It is hypothesized that incorporating dates into the diet of genetically mo... Read More

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems have been proposed as a method to mitigate excessive pesticide misuse. While prior research has extensively confirmed the efficacy of individual IPM-related solutions, three major issues have prevented sustainable policies from being adopted: a lack of field ...

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense, threatening ecosystems, communities, and economies. In North America, fire activity increased dramatically in recent years, with over 61% of U.S. wildfires occurring since 2000. In response to increasing wildfire severity, new predictive tools are es... Read More

This project studies a stereochemical and thermodynamic analysis of nanoparticles used in the photoactive layer of solar cells through molecular modeling. The primary objective is to determine the thermodynamic energy of nano-scaled compounds. This is to evaluate their suitability to improve the phy... Read More

Microplastics (MPs) enter aquatic food chains via ingestion by primary consumers and biomagnify through higher trophic levels. This study elucidated the impacts of this by assessing the effect of MPs on Daphnia magna’s growth and reproduction with exposure to Chlorella algae as an additional f... Read More
