Quercetin is known as a bioflavonoid compound that has been successfully optimized to be a chemo- sensor probe for Fe3þ recognition. The sensitivity of quercetin towards Fe3þ increased in DMSO:deionized water with a 9:1 ratio at pH 4. There was also no significant interference from other metal ions, such as Kþ, Cr3þ, Agþ, Cd2þ, Mg2þ, Pb2þ,

This article explores nonlinear convergence to limit the effects of the consensus problem that usually occurs in multi-agent systems. Most of the existing research essentially considers the outline of linear protocols, using complex mathematical equations in various orders. In this work, however, we designed and developed an alternative nonlinear p

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most common clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD). Hypertension was identified as an important risk factor of AMI at a young age. The identification of CAD biomarkers in these young adults is necessary as a tool for early prediction of CAD. The objective of this study was to investigate pro
