In the face of the escalating global antibiotic resistance crisis, exploring alternative therapeutic avenues has become imperative. This study investigates the antibacterial potential of Punica granatum and Rhamnus sp. extracts from Dhahran, Saudi …

This work contributes an area-effective low-noise amplifier design with a vast voltage gain range for a wide frequency range. The novel low-noise amplifier has an input stage, a common-gate stage, and another stage of the common-source technique.

The use of calcined clay as supplementary cementitious materials to blend with Portland cement has been increased since it resulted in many environmental advantages such as reducing CO2 emission. Moreover, compressive strength as one of the most …

This study aimed to prepare a polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate (PVSA) nanofibrous mat as an amoxicillin (AMOX) delivery system. AMOX was loaded to the PVSA nanofibers during electrospinning, and the AMOX-loaded PVSA (PVSA/AMOX) nanofibrous mat …

The objective of this experimental study was to investigate the impact of different earth precursors, partially substituted with ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), at varying replacement levels of 0–25% with 5% increments, on abrasion …

Rock masses that undergo a long and complex geological tectonic process contain widely distributed parallel and intersecting flaws. These two types of flaws have different inclinations with the rock layer, resulting in a significant deterioration …

Survival analysis, is a widely used technique for analysing time-to-event data, inclusive of censored data. Even though, numerous survival analysis approaches have performed well but still have some underlying assumptions and other limitations. To …

Nanomaterials have proven effective and valuable in agriculture, and metallic nanoparticles have been found to have significant biological activities. On the other hand, plant-derived smoke solution is known as a growth regulator. However, there …

In a railway traction substation, power electronics devices are used in conjunction with a special transformer of a traction substation to mitigate power quality issues. To study the use of power electronics devices with conventional transformer …

Dental implants undergo a general surface treatment via micro-blasting, where solid particle erosion (SPE) occurs on their surfaces. Considering the high costs of SPE experiments, it is necessary to present a reliable computer simulation that can …

For lightweight applications such as aircraft, automotive components, household, and infrastructure applications, using natural polymer fillers as reinforcement in aluminum metal matrix composites (MMCs) instead of metallic and ceramic fillers …

This paper aimed to investigate the cyclic performance of short and very short links made of ASTM A992 steel in eccentrically braced frames. An extensive parametric study was conducted using ABAQUS software, considering the effects of local …

This paper utilizes COMSOL software to conduct comprehensive simulations and analyses to evaluate the Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) capacitive pressure sensor’s performance with and without packaging. The study evaluates the influence of …

The negative effects of stress on well-being demonstrate the need for real-time detection. The increasing prevalence of wearables with AI capabilities to continually monitor vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure highlights their growing …

Geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important way to mitigate global warming, making CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) and storage technology with sequestration and economic benefits a hot research topic and making positive progress …

Infill well placement and well control optimization can be conducted by trial and error and direct optimization methods using reservoir simulators which are computationally expensive and time-consuming. The challenges faced by these methods can be …

In the extraction and purification of crude oil, natural gas obtained at high pressure is sent through turbines. The fuel in the turbines is then combusted, and the power generated feeds further processes. However, to prevent the formation of …

Due to different composition materials, steel–concrete composite box beams have interface slip, shear deformation, and other characteristics. Composite box beams have significant spatial effects and complex mechanical behavior under external …

To address the problem that traditional blast furnace air outlet status identification relies heavily on manual work, which is time-consuming and inefficient. In this paper, an artificial intelligence approach is applied to blast furnace air …

Nanostructured duplex stainless steel (DSS) was prepared using mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The ball milling was performed under nitrogen atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were …
