Image enhancement involves enhancing an image’s quality and visibility through different techniques like contrast adjustment, noise reduction, super-resolution, and sharpening. In unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), image enhancement becomes crucial due to image acquisition in challenging conditions such as low-light, haze, and fog. Specifically, while addressing low-light scenarios, the goal is to enhance the visibility and finer details of images captured in dim environments. Traditional metho...

Biomolecular condensate formation within the cell is regulated via weak multivalent interactions between intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Recent evidences suggest the formation of such condensates prior to pathogenic aggregates. The aggregated states of the presynaptic intrinsically disordered protein, α-Synuclein have long been associated with Parkinson’s disease. Although α-Synuclein aggregation is majorly driven by the non-amyloid β- component (NAC) domain, a 7-residue sequence kn...

Numerous phytochemicals exhibit potent antioxidant activity, which is crucial in shielding cells from oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Amongst phytochemicals from various plants, recent studies have emphasized the antioxidant properties of Bacopa monnieri, a medicinal herb eminent for its cognitive-enhancing properties. The antioxidant properties of Bacopa are primarily accredited to its abundant content of bioactive compounds such as bacosides, flavonoids, and phenol...

Paired box 9 (PAX9) is a member of the paired box family involved in cancer cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. PAX9 downregulation has been established in oral cancer associated with cancer growth and progression. To investigate the role of PAX9 in stemness and differentiation, we initially separated CD44+ and CD44- from oral cancer cells by MACS and confirmed by flow cytometry and western blot analysis. We found that PAX9 decreased expression in CD44+ cells compared to CD44- ce...

Cylindrical Dielectric Coated Conductor-based Dielectric Resonator Antenna (CDCC-DRA) is investigated here theoretically. Mixed magnetic wall model is used here for investigation. Fundamental mode is investigated. A cylindrical coordinate system is used to investigate the problem. The radial wavenumber is computed using mode matching technique, whereas the wavenumber along the height of the antenna is computed by applying a magnetic wall at the surface. Incremental search method is used to fi...

In this study, a one-step method was developed for construction of MOF derived Ag/Sr6Bi2O9- -Bi2O3 ternary photocatalyst for comprehensive water remediation applications. The synthesized ternary heterostructure exhibited a high surface area oxygen defect rich hierarchical nanostructure consisting of plasmonic Ag quantum dots (3-5 nm) embedded in ultrathinSr6Bi2O9 nanosheets that are epitaxially grafted over porous BO nanorods. The oxygen vacancies, tight heterojunction between SBO/BO and pla...

This work presents the synthesis of unique binary Cu-BDC-NH2/Cu58S32 (CSM) heterostructure which is synthesized via one-pot solvothermal route. The nonstoichiometric pure roxbyite (Cu58S32) phase was synthesized and evolution of distinct morphologies like nanoplate (np) and snowflake (sf) was achieved by varying the sulfur sources. To construct the heterostructure, Cu58S32 (CS) is used as host matrix as well as copper source to fabricate CuBDC-NH2 MOF (CM) nano plate over it. A substantial in...

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumors, yet there remains a significant lack of comprehensive epigenetic data concerning this condition. This study uses various intelligent computational algorithm-based high-throughput data analysis tools to initially identify crucial hub genes through comparative analysis of gene-expression datasets, including GSE44076, GSE20916, and GSE37364. This study presents a novel streamlined approach for systematically screening a...

Markov state model (MSM) is a suitable method of studying the intermediate states and pathways during the binding/dimerization process of proteins. The dimerization structure of GB1 can have two distinct shapes; domain swapped (DS) and side-by-side (SS) where the former is more stable as conformed by both simulation1 and experiment2 . Here we employ a 20 microsecond long molecular dynamics trajectory1 of GB1 dimerization starting from monomer states to construct a MSM. To identify the slow co...

In today’s state-of-the-art VLSI circuits, the SRAMs covers a greater part of the chip area. As technology scales down and moves into the nanometer regime, memory storage elements like SRAM cells are mostly affected by the impact of radiation. Therefore, the rate of soft error generation is enhanced with technology scaling. In this work, a reliable soft error tolerant 12 transistor RTSC-12T SRAM cell is proposed that provides good radiation tolerant capability and is completely immune to SEU ...
