Low-Cost Microcontroller-Enabled Embedded System for Assessing Jute Retting Water Quality Parameter

Journal of Natural Fibers
Quality of jute fiber depends to a very great extent on the quality of water used for retting. Efficient assessment of water quality is crucial to enable decision-makers to interpret this information and execute necessary management practices. Hence, the

Intensifying the response of distributed optical fibre sensors using 2D and 3D image restoration

Nature Communications, 2016
Optical fibres offer a way of sensing across a wide area, providing a spatial and temporal map of the measured parameter. Here, the authors use image and video processing to remove noise and increase the contrast in such a distributed optical fibre ...

Iron homeostasis disruption and lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle during short‐term immobilization

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
14‐day casting‐induced immobilization reduced gastrocnemius muscle mass and increased non‐heme iron and ferritin heavy chain levels. Despite iron accumulation, transferrin receptor 1 and iron regulatory protein 2 were paradoxically upregulated. Lipid peroxidation was elevated without compensatory antioxidant responses.

A novel sensor-based digital instrument for assessment of quality of fibre extracted from banana pseudostem

Heliyon
Banana (Musa paradisiaca) farming generates huge quantities of biomass, all of which goes to waste due to the non-availability of suitable technology for its commercial application.

Design and Simulation of Banana Pseudo-stem Fibre Extracting Raspador (Cylinder) Using FEA Technique

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Development of mechanical fiber extractors without considering engineering knowledge can cause failures of the machine’s components during operations. Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine the structural strength of the banana pseudo-stem

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

Ammonium recovery from wastewater by ion exchange using porous metakaolin geopolymer granules over extended adsorption/regeneration cycles

Applied Surface Science Advances
Ion exchange on porous geopolymer granules represents a potentially promising unit process for ammonium (NH4+) recovery from wastewater. However, the previous studies have not systematically optimized the regeneration nor evaluated the robustness of the ...

Hydrostatic pressure activates HIF‐1α via β‐catenin to promote stemness in breast cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To mimic the elevated intestinal fluid pressure in breast cancers, we loaded human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐453, and BT‐474) to 50 mmHg hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure exposure upregulated HIF‐1α and induced stemness in MCF‐7 and BT‐474 cells.
