Crystallization‐Induced Emission Enhancements of Hybrid Butenolide‐Diphenylethenes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid butenolide‐diphenylethene fluorophores show crystallization‐induced emission enhancement (CIEE), with substituents tuning solid‐state quantum yields up to 50%. One derivative, BuCM, displays dual‐state emissions (DSE), making this compact scaffold a promising platform for CIEE/DSE‐active fluorophores.

Combining indoor residual spraying and insecticide-treated nets for malaria control in Africa: a review of possible outcomes and an outline of suggestions for the future. [PDF]

, 2011
Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are currently the preferred methods of malaria vector control. In many cases, these methods are used together in the same households, especially to suppress transmission in holoendemic ...

Joint copula‐based beta regression with covariate‐dependent dispersion for malaria indicators

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Malaria surveillance relies on multiple indicators that reflect different aspects of transmission and disease burden, yet these outcomes are often analyzed separately under constant‐variance assumptions. Such approaches may obscure residual dependence and heterogeneity in variability. Using Demographic and Health Survey data from Burkina Faso (

Sustainability Assessment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises: A Systematic Review and Hybrid Architecture for Credible, Salient, and Legitimate Knowledge Governance

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability assessment advances corporate social responsibility toward inclusive development. Widely recognized approaches prove inadequate for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), resulting in fragmented proliferation that hinders cumulative knowledge.

Cytotoxicity of 19 Pesticides in Rainbow Trout Gill, Liver, and Intestinal Cell Lines

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rainbow trout gill cell line (RTgill‐W1), via test guideline 249 of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, has been established as a promising New Approach Methodology, although to advance confidence in the method more case studies are needed that: 1) expand our understanding of applicability domains (chemicals with ...

Optimising the Eco‐Friendly Extraction of Carotenoids From Gac Fruit: A Sustainable Solution for Natural Red Food Colourants

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Gac fruit's high carotenoid content, especially in the aril, makes it an excellent natural red pigment source for food applications, offering a safer alternative to synthetic dyes. Ethanol extraction achieved the highest overall pigment recovery (89.53%), whereas ethyl lactate extraction yielded the highest levels of total carotenoids, β‐carotene ...
