Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of temperature (50–80°C) on the drying behavior of yam slices and to evaluate the physicochemical and functional properties of yam flour. The results revealed that higher temperature enhanced the drying rate and moisture diffusivity (2.01 × 10 −10 ...

This study explored the physical properties of MAX phase borides, M2GaB (M = Sc, V, Nb, Ta), aided by the density functional theory (DFT) for the first time. The optimized lattice constants were obtained by minimizing the total energy. We checked the thermodynamic stability by computing the formatio...

Since the seminal paper by Cook (1977) in which he introduced Cook's distance, the identification of influential observations has received a great deal of interest and extensive investigation in linear regression. It is well documented that most of the popular diagnostic measures that are based on s...

Abstract We have investigated the physical properties of the i -MAB: Mo 4 Y 2 Al 3 B 6 phase via the density functional theory (DFT) approach. The optical properties, thermal properties, and Vickers hardness of the compound Mo 4 Y 2 Al 3 B 6 have been studied theoretically for the first time. The co...

Primaquine and tafenoquine are the only licensed drugs with activity against Plasmodium vivax hypnozoites but cause haemolysis in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Malaria also causes haemolysis, leading to the replacement of older erythrocytes with low G6PD activity...
