AlB2-type metal diborides are receiving renewed interest owing to their layered crystal structure. These materials have extraordinary diversity and topology owing to multicentered boron bonds, which impart unique physicochemical ...

Fouling in heat exchanger networks (HENs) affects thermal and hydraulic efficiencies resulting in economic penalties to the process industries. Conventionally, overall heat transfer rates of the heat exchangers in HENs are ...

Whether plastic waste ends up in a landfill or washed into the ocean, the ecological consequences of plastic pollution remain a constant challenge. In this work, we showcased how plastic waste derived reduced graphene oxide ...

Wound healing using an alginate-based biopolymeric film is one of the most preferred treatments. However, these films lack mechanical strength (elasticity and tensile strength), show higher initial burst release, and exhibit ...

Over the years, the discovery of graphene has fueled the search for new two-dimensional (2D) materials, most of which are derived from group 14 or 15 of the periodic table. These materials have been extensively explored ...

The hierarchical decision making in process industries has been traditionally viewed as having a common objective, such as the overall cost, which needs to be optimized. However, a more appropriate approach is to formulate ...

The prediction of disordered regions in proteins is crucial for understanding their functions, dynamics, and interactions. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play a key role in many biological processes like cell ...

The present work focuses on obtaining optimal operational policies of an industrial scale penicillin fed-batch fermentation process using dynamic optimization (DO). The three process objectives considered in this work ...

The problem of profile control is important owing to its industrial significance. This problem is viewed as a multi-objective problem and solved using different approaches such as augmentation of objectives or prioritised ...

The adsorption of green fluorescent protein (GFP) on silica surfaces has been the subject of growing interest due to its potential applications in various fields, including biotechnology and biomedicine. In this study, we ...
