Abstract Peristaltic transport of non-Newtonian nanofluids with double diffusion is essential to biological engineering, microfluidics, and manufacturing processes. The authors tackle the key problem of Sisko nanofluids under double diffusion convection with thermal radiations and electroosmotic effects. The study proposes a solution approach by using Morlet-Wavelet Neural Networks that can effectively solve this complex problem by their superior ability in the capture of nonlinear dynamics. These convergence analyses were calculated across fifty independent runs. Theil’s Inequality Coefficient and the Mean Squared Error values range from 10⁻⁷ to 10⁻⁵ and 10⁻⁷ to 10⁻¹⁰, respectively. These values showed the proposed More >

Abstract The objective of this work is to investigate the dynamics of a self-propelled undulating sheet in a non-Newtonian electrolyte solution inside a wavy channel under the electroosmotic effect. The electrolyte solution, which is non-Newtonian, is modeled as a Carreau-Yasuda fluid. The flow generated by a combination of an undulating sheet and electroosmotic effect is obtained by solving the continuity and momentum equations. The electroosmotic body force term is derived using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electric potential. A fourth-order ordinary differential equation for the stream function is solved under the Stokes flow regime. The dynamics More >

Abstract Due to its tolerance to water deficit and salinity, sorghum is considered a suitable crop for cultivation in regions affected by these stress conditions, enabling the efficient use of limited water resources. This study evaluated the resilience of the sweet sorghum cultivar BRS 506 under water deficit and salinity stress, focusing on water relations and yield performance in semiarid conditions. A randomized complete block design was employed in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement with four replicates. Treatments consisted of three levels of irrigation water salinity (1.50, 3.75, and 6.00 dS m⁻¹) and three irrigation levels… More >

Abstract In this study, we proposed a numerical technique for solving time-dependent partial differential equations that arise in the electro-osmotic flow of Carreau fluid across a stationary plate based on a modified exponential integrator. The scheme is comprised of two explicit stages. One is the exponential integrator type stage, and the second is the Runge-Kutta type stage. The spatial-dependent terms are discretized using the compact technique. The compact scheme can achieve fourth or sixth-order spatial accuracy, while the proposed scheme attains second-order temporal accuracy. Also, a mathematical model for the electro-osmotic flow of Carreau fluid over… More >

Abstract This work uses GC-MS to analyze the bioactive compounds of Salvia rosmarinus essential oils (SREO) and evaluates their antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal effects, as well as the major component, 1,8-cineole. Chemical analysis identified 16 compounds accounting for 99.19% of the oil’s total content, with 1,8-cineole (33.17%), camphor (16.53%), α-pinene (14.46%), and camphene (8.14%) as the major constituents. Antimicrobial activities were assessed against pathogenic strains using minimal inhibit concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays. SREO exhibited a minimum MIC of 0.128% against P. aeruginosa, while 1,8-cineole showed a minimum MIC of 2.06% against the same strain,… More >

Abstract The medicinal herb Geranium wallichianum belongs to the family Geraniaceae. The East Asian Himalayas are its primary habitat. Overexploitation and overharvesting pose a threat to this plant, given its extensive ethnomedical utilization in the community. In Pakistan, its population has already declined by over 75%. Given its critical medicinal importance, urgent conservation efforts are needed to prevent extinction. The aim of the current research was to determine the effectiveness of sucrose and polyethylene glycol (PEG) in decelerating the growth of this medicinally important species. Nodal segments were utilized as explant with varying levels of polyethylene glycol… More >

Abstract Coffee wilt represents one of the most devastating diseases of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plantations in the primary coffee-producing regions. In this study, coffee trees manifesting wilt symptoms accompanied by the defoliation and drying of the whole tree were observed in the Jazan, El Baha, Najran, and Asir regions. The purpose of this investigation was to isolate and identify the Fusarium species recovered from symptomatic coffee trees. The developed fungi were initially characterized based on their morphological features followed by molecular phylogenetic multi-locus analysis of the combined sequences of ITS, TEF1-α, RPB2, and CaM. Twenty-five isolates… More >

Abstract The implementation of Countermeasure Techniques (CTs) in the context of Network-On-Chip (NoC) based Multiprocessor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) routers against the Flooding Denial-of-Service Attack (F-DoSA) falls under Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) due to the three main concerns, called: traffic variations, multiple evaluation criteria-based traffic features, and prioritization NoC routers as an alternative. In this study, we propose a comprehensive evaluation of various NoC traffic features to identify the most efficient routers under the F-DoSA scenarios. Consequently, an MCDM approach is essential to address these emerging challenges. While the recent MCDM approach has some issues, such as uncertainty, this… More >

Abstract As space technology advances, thermal control systems must effectively collect and dissipate heat from distributed, multi-source environments. Loop heat pipe is a highly reliable two-phase heat transfer component, but it has several limitations when addressing multi-source heat dissipation. Inspired by the transport and heat dissipation system of plants, large trees achieve stable and efficient liquid supply under the influence of two driving forces: capillary force during transpiration in the leaves (pull) and root pressure generated by osmotic pressure in the roots (push). The root pressure provides an effective liquid supply with a driving force exceeding… More >

Abstract Entoloma clypeatum, a kind of edible ectomycorrhizal fungus, can be usually symbiotic with Rosaceae fruit trees. Fruit trees have become an important part of China’s agriculture. The present work focused on exploring how E. clypeatum affected symbiotic Rosaceae plants and establishing a symbiotic culture with Malus robusta, Pyrus betulifolia and Prunus armeniaca rootstocks. The results showed that E. clypeatum and three Rosaceae plants can generate cylindrical or clavate mycorrhizae. The inoculation treatment had different degrees of positive effects on the three plants. Relative to the non-inoculated group, biomass in symbiotic plants increased (32.8%–191.1%), and photosynthesis enhanced. In the level of… More >
