Hemp shiv biochar as sustainable precursor for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes (2024)

This study investigates the conversion of hemp shiv (hurd) into activated biochar for energy storage applications. Hemp shiv was pyrolyzed at 800°C and activated with KOH, yielding a hierarchical porous carbon with specific surface area of 2,287 m²/g. The resulting biochar electrodes exhibited specific capacitance of 312 F/g at 1 A/g in 6M KOH electrolyte, with 95.3% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. These results demonstrate hemp shiv biochar as a cost-effective, renewable alternative

Exploring Human 5HT1A/2A Receptor Through Homology Modeling and Flexible Docking Studies for the Binding Hotspot of Substituted 2,4-imidazolidinedione and Oxazolidinedione Derivatives (2023)

Introduction: To obtain the binding site of a model of the human 5-HT1A/2A receptor, a series of substituted 2,4-imidazolidinediones and oxazolidinediones were subjected to flexible docking using GLIDE. Methods: The docking scores that were generated are correlated with the in-vivo affinity data that had already been collected. Results: When combined with a homology model of 5HT1A/2A, the GLIDE docking approach was based on a template for 2-adrenergic receptors. Conclusion: A model for li

[18F]Mefway: Imaging Serotonin 5HT1A Receptors in Human Postmortem Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease Anterior Cingulate. Potential Applications to Human Positron Emission Tomography Studies (2025)

Serotonin 5HT1A receptors may be affected in neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Using the selective 5HT1A receptor positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent, [18F]mefway, autoradiographic studies from postmortem human brains of AD, PD, and cognitively normal (CN) subjects were carried out. Levels of [18F]mefway binding were compared with monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) measured using [18F]FAZIN3 binding and dopamine D2/D3 receptors measured using

Developmental Variation in Tryptophan Hydroxylase 2 and 5HT1A Receptor Levels in the Bullfrog Brainstem (2025)

Bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeiana, is a vertebrate animal model that can be used to study toxicology and developmental physiology. My research aims to examine the brainstem and the pathology of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in humans using a comparative model. Past research demonstrated that caudal raphe neurons send serotonergic fibers that terminate near respiratory neurons in the brainstem. Additional research suggests that late metamorphic tadpoles increase lung burst activity with expo

Environmental perspectives of fine grounded concrete powder: LCA case study of light-weight concrete block (2022)

The construction elements produced with low demand for primary resources are being developed in the building industry. However, not only consumption of primary resources but also environmental impacts of such products should be considered to increase the sustainability of the construction industry. To investigate the environmental impacts of lightweight concrete blocks, life cycle assessment (LCA) was used as an analytical tool according to the EN 15 804 + A2. Firstly, the properties of fine gro
