Abstract Membrane consisting of ordered sub-nanochannels has been pursued in ion separation technology to achieve applications including desalination, environment management, and energy conversion. However, high-precision not yet achieved owing the lack deep understanding transport mechanism confined environments. Biological channels can conduct ions with ultrahigh permeability selectivity, which is inseparable from important role channel size “ion-channel” interaction. Here, inspired by...

Abstract Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were immobilized on polyurethane foam (PUF) and employed for the degradation of Acid black 1 dye (AB1). The ZnO/PUF was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) energy dispersive (EDX) techniques. Process variables i.e., concentration, pH, concentration H 2 O , irradiation time optimized maximum dye. showed promising efficiency AB1 up to 86% 65% achieved under UV solar light at neutral 4% 240 min/sunlight 75 min/UV...

The chiral recognition and separation of enantiomers are great importance for biological research the pharmaceutical industry. Preparing homochiral materials with adjustable size binding sites is beneficial achieving an efficient performance. Here, a covalent organic framework membrane modified β-cyclodextrin (CD-COF) was constructed, which subsequently utilized as electrochemical sensor enantioselective sensing tryptophan (Trp) molecules. preferential adsorption l-Trp over d-Trp at β-CD can...

Background: Pregnancy is a physiologically and emotionally demanding period that increases vulnerability to mental health disturbances, particularly depression, anxiety, stress. Globally, substantial evidence highlights the prevalence of these conditions among pregnant women; however, research within Pakistani context remains limited. Sociocultural constraints, poor awareness, lack access resources further compound this issue, emphasizing need for localized data inform public interventions...
