Several studies indicate that mesquitol exhibits significant free-radical scavenging properties, antioxidant and
α-glucosidase inhibitory properties. This makes it a useful resource with potential for exploitation in both ...
The use of solar energy, as an alternative to the conventional fossil fuel based resources, has increased tremendously over the years due to its enormous and environmentally benign nature. In an effort to make solar energy ...
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) is a fundamental implicit solvent continuum
model for calculating the electrostatic potential of large ionic solvated
biomolecules. However, its numerical solution encounters severe ...
In this paper, we present a new regularization scheme for the linearized Poisson–
Boltzmann equation (PBE) which models the electrostatic potential of biomolecules in a solvent.
This scheme is based on the splitting of ...
One of the major concerns among developing countries in recent decades is the effect of declining food security with ever-growing population. Hence, the importance of adopting cost effective farming methods has led to the ...
The present study investigated the degradation of trimethoprim using Eosin Y-sensitized ZnFe2O4-g-C3N4 photocatalyst under natural sunlight using a parabolic trough reactor. The photocatalyst performance was optimized for ...
