Principles of Photocatalysts and Their Different Applications: A Review.

Human existence and societal growth are both dependent on the availability of clean and fresh water. Photocatalysis is a type of artificial photosynthesis that uses environmentally friendly, long-lasting materials to address energy and environmental issues. There is currently a considerable demand for low-cost, high-performance wastewater treatment equipment. By changing the structure, size, and c...

Triple-crises-induced food insecurity: systematic understanding and resilience building approaches in Africa.

The triple crises of the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict and climate change have severely impacted food systems, leading to socio-economic consequences and undermining food and nutrition security across Africa. To address the malnutrition and poverty affecting approximately 700 million people in Africa, there is potential for the One Health approach implementation and operationalization to bring toget...

Artificial intelligence in early detection and prediction of pediatric/neonatal acute kidney injury: current status and future directions.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has a significant impact on the short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of pediatric and neonatal patients, and it is imp...

Identification of Water-Soluble Polymers through Machine Learning of Fluorescence Signals from Multiple Peptide Sensors.
