Abstract In our work, we investigated the photoelectric effects arising in composites consisting of polar (fluorine-containing) and non-polar (polyolefin) polymers—such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), PVDF, F42 — and an inorganic phase composed of A^II< B^VI (CdS, ZnS) and ferrocene. In addition, the processes occurring in these composites during the creation of these effects have been studied. It was found that the parameters of the formation of the posistor effect in the polymer-ferrocene composite are related to the presence of an interphase potential barrier, which is determined by the geometric dimensions of the interphase transition layer, dielectric permeability, More >

Abstract The present study investigated the genetic diversity of 24 germplasms of Polianthes tuberosa L. via 16 inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker techniques. The research findings revealed that the ISSR markers presented higher levels of band reproducibility and were more efficient at clustering germplasms. Among the 16 markers examined in this study, 12 had a complete polymorphism rate of 100%. The molecular analysis revealed a PIC ranging from 0.079 to 0.373, with a mean value of 0.30, whereas the range of the marker index was from 0.0001 to 0.409, with an average value of 0.03, and More >

Abstract In modern complex systems, real-time regression prediction plays a vital role in performance evaluation and risk warning. Nevertheless, existing methods still face challenges in maintaining stability and predictive accuracy under complex conditions. To address these limitations, this study proposes an online prediction approach that integrates event tracking sensitivity analysis with machine learning. Specifically, a real-time event tracking sensitivity analysis method is employed to capture and quantify the impact of key events on system outputs. On this basis, a mutual-information–based self-extraction mechanism is introduced to construct prior weights, which are then incorporated into a LightGBM prediction More >

Abstract Modifications in fuel spray characteristics fundamentally influence fuel–air mixing dynamics in diesel engines, thereby significantly affecting combustion performance and emission profiles. This study explores the operational behavior of RP-5 aviation kerosene/diesel blended fuels in marine diesel engines. A spray visualization platform based on Mie scattering technology was developed to comparatively analyze the spray characteristics, ignition behavior, and soot emissions of RP-5 aviation kerosene, conventional-35# diesel, and their blends at varying mixing ratios (D100H0, D90H10, D70H30, D50H50, D30H70, D0H100). The findings demonstrate that, under constant injection pressure, aviation kerosene combustion results in a more uniform temperature More >

Abstract The gut microbiome is a complex community of microorganisms that plays a direct role in the health of both the gastrointestinal tract and the entire body. Numerous factors influence the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota. Microbial imbalance can contribute to disease development. Probiotics are biologically active supplements with promising properties that have high therapeutic potential. Currently, there is a tendency to switch from classic probiotic microorganisms represented by lactic acid bacteria to next-generation probiotics due to their unique ability to influence the human immune system. New-generation probiotics include bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bacteroides sp., More >

Abstract This study aims to determine the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity (AA) of different plant parts (bulbs, stalk, leaves and flowers) of wild rosy garlic (Allium roseum) from Montenegro. The flower exhibited the highest concentration of total phenols (55.7 GAE/g d.e.), followed by the leaf (25.6 mg GAE/g d.e.). The leaf displayed the highest concentration of total flavonoids (41.48 mg RE/g d.e.), followed by the flower (36.26 mg RE/g d.e.) and top part of the stalk (26.80 mg RE/g d.e.). The AA of different parts of A. roseum after 60 min of incubation decreased in the following… More >

Abstract Selenium (Se) is a nutrient that is considered beneficial for plants, because its improvement in growth, yield and quality helps plants to mitigate stress. The objective of this research was to evaluate the application of sodium selenite (Na₂SeO₃), nanoparticles (SeNPs) and microparticles (SeMPs) of Se in cucumber seedlings, via two experiments: one with seed priming and the other with foliar application of Se materials. The doses used were: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 3.0 mg · L⁻¹, for each form of Se and for each form of application. Treatment 0 consisted of the application of… More >

Abstract The Solanum genus is known for its diverse bioactive compounds, yet its diuretic potential remains understudied. This research commenced with an analysis of polyphenol and flavonoid content in Solanum elaeagnifolium leaf extract (SEFE) using colorimetric techniques, followed by HPLC-DAD to delineate its chemical composition. The aqueous extract revealed prominent constituents: naringin (12.38%), quercetin 3-O-B-D-Glucoside (27.25%), and flavone (15.26%). A 15-day study on normal rats investigated the diuretic potential of SEFE at repeated doses. SEFE significantly increased urine volume and urinary sodium/potassium levels without inducing hypokalaemia, contrasting with furosemide, a standard diuretic that induced hypokalaemia. Conversely, furosemide, a… 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 >
