A Comprehensive Design and Simulation of Highly Inductive Bi-directional Wireless Power Transfer See

This paper presents the design and optimization of a Bidirectional Wireless Power Transfer (BWPT) system for electric vehicles (EVs), enabling efficient two-way energy exchange between the grid and vehicle. The proposed system integrates with smart grids and renewable sources, enhancing sustainab...

Psychedelic layerings: Fluid identities of a self-placed young Chinese immigrant in the U.K. See

This study aims to explore the complex interplay of cultural identity and artistic expression, situated within my personal experiences in the UK, in which I have imagined or self-placed myself as a young Chinese immigrant through the lens of cultural identity within my privilege&#x...

3-(Pyridine-3-ylmethylene)chroman-4-one and tetralone derivatives: synthesis, <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> CYP121A1 enzyme inhibition and antimycobacterial activity <i>vs</i> drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains See

CYP121A1 is a promising cytochrome P450 (CYP) drug target in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)</i> owing to its physiological importance in bacterial cell viability. The continuing rise of multidrug resistant (MDR) and extremely drug resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB), offers potential th...

Rationalisation of steel grades and specifications using machine learning techniques See

There are an excessive number of steel grades currently in use. However, many of them are used in the same application despite differences in chemical composition and processing conditions, and in some cases shows equivalent ranges of properties. These huge number of grades poses&#...

Identification of multiple Acinetobacter baumannii protein antigens as targets for potential immunotherapies using a novel protein microarray screening approach See

The World Health Organisation has identified Acinetobacter baumannii as a critical priority antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogen for which new therapeutics are needed. Despite this, currently there are no antibody or vaccine candidates in advanced clinical development for A. baumannii. To help&...

Dissemination of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in poultry in Zimbabwe See

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli are resistant to the critically important third- and fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotics and present a risk to animal and human health. In Zimbabwe, there is an evidence gap concerning the prevalence and diversity of ESBL-producing&...

Bogland plant Tormentil inhibits multidrug-resistant pathogen growth and potentiates antibiotics by disrupting iron homeostasis See

The antibiotic resistance crisis has created an urgent need for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to tackle recalcitrant infections. In this study, we identified Tormentil [Potentilla erecta (L.) Raeusch.], a plant that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, as&#x...
