Abstract Integrating mechanical computing capabilities into robotic materials or systems enhances their intelligence in stimulus-response processes. However, current mechanical computing systems face limitations such as incomplete functionality, inflexible computational rules, challenges in implementing sequential and random logic operations, and lack of reusability. To address these issues, we propose a straightforward design method based on logical expressions to achieve more complex computational tasks. We developed soft B-shaped mechanical metamaterial units and introduced stress inputs through compression. The outputs are represented by light-shielding effects caused by unit deformation. Using this approach, we successfully implemented logic gates and their… More >

Abstract In the modern era of 5th generation (5G) networks, the data generated by User Equipments (UE) has increased significantly, with data file sizes varying from modest sensor logs to enormous multimedia files. In modern telecommunications networks, the need for high-end security and efficient management of these large data files is a great challenge for network designers. The proposed model provides the efficient real-time virtual data storage of UE data files (light and heavy) using an object storage system MinIO having inbuilt Software Development Kits (SDKs) that are compatible with Amazon (S3) Application Program Interface (API)… More >

Abstract Objectives: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the breast cancer subtype with the poorest prognosis. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular pathways through which isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a natural chalcone compound derived from licorice and other plant roots, targets interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) in TNBC. Methods: TNBC cell lines were cultured and subjected to IRF5 knockdown using short hairpin RNA. Cell proliferation was assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and colony formation assays. Western blotting and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were employed to measure expression levels of IRF5, solute carrier family… More >

Abstract Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent cause of death. 3,9-Di-O-methylnissolin (DOM) is a flavonoid isolated from Astragalus membranaceus. It has anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects, but its effect and mechanism of action on GC are not very clear. Methods: The appropriate concentration was selected after observing the effects of varying concentrations of DOM on the viability of GC cells, which was examined through the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) overexpression plasmid was transfected into GC cells, which were then treated with DOM. Cell cycle and proliferation, RIPK2 levels, and inflammatory… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Background: Recent years have witnessed the rapid rise of TikTok, a short-video social platform, which has sparked concerns about its potential for misuse and addiction. TikTok addiction has been associated with various psychological and social issues. This study aims to explore the mediating role of social ostracism in the relationship between the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, and Narcissism) and TikTok addiction. Methods: Data were collected from 425 Chinese college students through convenience sampling, using three validated scales: the Dirty Dozen, the Social Ostracism Scale, and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)… More >

Abstract Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is a promising natural fiber for bio-based composites, but its high moisture absorption and poor interfacial adhesion with polymer matrices limit mechanical performance. While chemical treatments have been extensively explored, limited research has addressed how thermal treatment alone alters the surface properties and reinforcing behavior of SCB fibers. This study aims to fill that gap by investigating the effects of heat treatment on SCB fiber structure and its performance in starch/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composites. Characterization techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning… More >

Abstract Agricultural waste is a potentially interesting resource due to the compounds present. In this study, cellulose was extracted from corn stalks (Zea mays) and subsequently converted into cellulose acetate (CA). Before the extraction process, the waste sample was characterized by pH, moisture, ash, protein content, total reducing sugars (TRS), carbohydrates, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Acid and alkaline hydrolysis were performed with different reagents, concentrations, and extraction times. Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and acetic acid (CH₃COOH) were used in the acid hydrolysis, while sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was used in the alkaline hydrolysis. Three concentrations (0.62, 1.25, 2.5)% and two… More >

Abstract Food breakdown during storage and transit greatly adds to worldwide food waste. Biodegradable edible coatings derived from natural sources provide a sustainable method to extend the shelf life and preserve the freshness of fresh fruit. This study explores the potential of the readily available and nutrient-rich seaweed, Caulerpa lentillifera, as a base material for edible coatings that can enhance the shelf life and maintain the physicochemical properties of fruits and vegetables. Caulerpa lentillifera, a marine macroalga renowned for its unique biochemical composition, presents a promising avenue for developing sustainable bio-coatings to improve the post-harvest quality of fresh… More >
