Exploring Flower-Structured Bifunctional VCu Layered Double Hydroxide and its Nanohybrid with g-C3N4for Electrochemical and Photoelectrochemical Seawater Electrolysis.

Seawater electrolysis holds great promise for sustainable green hydrogen generation, but its implementation is hindered by high energy consumption and electrode degradation. Two dimensional (2D) layered double hydroxide (LDH) exhibits remarkable stability, high catalytic activity, and excellent corrosion resistance in the harsh electrolytic environment. The synergistic effect between LDH and seawater ions enhances the oxygen evolution reaction, enabling efficient and sustainable green hydrogen generation. Here, we report a synthesis of low cost, novel 2D Vanadium Copper (VCu) LDH first time in the series of LDH's as a highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst. The electrochemical (EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) study of VCu LDH and VCu LDH/Graphite Carbon Nitride (g-C3N4) nanohybrid was performed in 0.5 M H2SO4 (acidic), 1 M KOH (basic), 0.5 M NaCl (artificial seawater), 0.5 M NaCl + 1 M KOH (artificial alkaline seawater), real seawater and 1 M KOH + real seawater (alkaline real seawater) electrolyte medium. It was found that VCu LDH shows a remarkable lower overpotential of 72 mV hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 254 mV oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at current density of 10 mA/cm2 under alkaline real seawater electrolysis exhibiting bifunctional activity and also showing better stability.

Boosting Up Electrosynthesis of Urea with Nitrate and Carbon Dioxide via Synergistic Effect of Metallic Iron Cluster and Single-Atom.

Electrocatalytic conversion of nitrates and carbon dioxide to urea under ambient conditions shows promise as a potential substitute for traditional urea synthesis processes characterized by high consumption and pollution. In this study, a straightforward one-pot method is employed to prepare a highly efficient FeNC-Fe1N4 electrocatalyst, consisting of atomically dispersed Fe1N4 sites and metallic Fe clusters (FeNC) with particle size of 4-7nm. The FeNC-Fe1N4 catalyst exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic activity for urea synthesis from nitrate anion (NO3 -) and carbon dioxide (CO2), achieving a urea production rate of 38.2mmolgcat -1h-1 at -0.9V (vs RHE) and a Faradaic efficiency of 66.5% at -0.6V (vs RHE). Both experimental and theoretical results conclusively demonstrate that metallic Fe clusters and Fe1N4 species provide active sites for the adsorption and activation of NO3 - and CO2, respectively, and the synergistic effect between Fe1N4 and metallic Fe clusters significantly enhances the electrochemical efficiency of urea synthesis. In all, this work contributes to the rational design and comprehensive synthesis of a dual-active site iron-based electrocatalyst, facilitating efficient and sustainable urea synthesis.

Biocontrol of tomato pathogens by Bacillus subtilis F62 and its synergistic action in plant growth promotion with Rhizobium sp. L5

ABSTRACT Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are recognised for inhibiting pathogens and increasing plant biomass and yield. This study aims to evaluate the antagonistic potential of Bacillus subtilis F62 against fungal diseases of tomatoes and investigates its capability for promoting the growth of tomato seedlings using single-strain inoculation and co-inoculation with Rhizobium sp. L5. The in vitro antagonism of B. subtilis F62 against Alternaria sp., Botrytis sp., Fusarium sp., and Stemphylium sp. was assessed through dual-culture and volatile compounds assays. Furthermore, the antagonism against Botrytis sp. was also evaluated in harvested tomatoes. The growth promotion experiment involved treating tomato seeds with bacterial suspensions through soil drenching and seed soaking. Our results demonstrated the inhibitory ability of B. subtilis F62 against all fungal species, reducing the mycelial growth speed index from 54.7% to 76.6% in the dual-culture assay, and from 14.1% to 70.6% through antagonism via volatile compounds. This bacterium also decreased the incidence and severity of Botrytis sp. by 21% and 18.8%, respectively, in harvested tomatoes. Additionally, the growth promotion assay revealed that co-inoculation of B. subtilis F62 and Rhizobium sp. L5 increased leaf area and root dry weight compared to single-strain inoculation. Therefore, B. subtilis F62 is a promising bacterium for the biocontrol of tomato diseases and an effective plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, demonstrating its synergistic effect when co-inoculated with Rhizobium sp. L5 on tomato seeds.

Mechanistic insight into heteroatom removal from vacuum gas oil blended with PMMA or PET waste.

This work analyzes vacuum gas oil (VGO) and hydrocracking products of feed blended with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in depth to clarify the oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur removal pathways in these complex mixtures. Hydrocracking reactions are conducted in a semi-batch reactor with a Pt-Pd/HY bifunctional catalyst at 400 °C and 80 bar for 300 min with 10 wt% waste plastic using 0.1 catalyst/feed weight ratio. The samples are analyzed using various techniques, including high-resolution mass spectrometry, providing an improved, more detailed analytical representation. The results demonstrate the synergistic effect of cofeeding oxygenated plastics to the VGO, altering the preferential reaction pathways of heteroatom-containing species in the following order: nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. We assess the chemical structures from the gathered data, establish plausible reaction mechanisms, and evaluate the catalyst's role.

2D-on-2D Al-Doped NiCo LDH Nanosheet Arrays for Fabricating High-Energy-Density, Wide Voltage Window, and Ultralong-Lifespan Supercapacitors.

Battery-type electrode materials with high capacity, wide potential windows, and good cyclic stability are crucial to breaking through energy storage limitations and achieving high energy density. Herein, a novel 2D-on-2D Al-doped NiCo layered double hydroxide (NiCoAlx LDH) nanosheet arrays with high-mass-loading are grown on a carbon cloth (CC) substrate via a two-step hydro/solvothermal deposition strategy, and the effect of Al doping is employed to modify the deposition behavior, hierarchical morphology, phase stability, and multi-metallic synergistic effect. The optimized NiCoAl0.1 LDH electrode exhibits capacities of 5.43, 6.52, and 7.25 C cm-2 (9.87, 10.88, and 11.15 F cm-2) under 0-0.55, 0-0.60, and 0-0.65V potential windows, respectively, illustrating clearly the importance of the wide potential window. The differentiated deposition strategy reduces the leaching level of Al3+ cations in alkaline solutions, ensuring excellent cyclic performance (108% capacity retention after 40000 cycles). The as-assembled NiCoAl0.1 LDH//activated carbon cloth (ACC) hybrid supercapacitor delivers 3.11 C cm-2 at 0-2.0V, a large energy density of 0.84 mWh cm-2 at a power density of 10.00mW cm-2, and excellent cyclic stability with ≈135% capacity retention after 150000 cycles.

Assessment of ethanol leaf extract from urtica dioica for in vitro Anti-Helminthic properties

Helminthic infections continue to be a significant public health concern worldwide, particularly in regions with poor sanitation and limited access to healthcare. With the increasing prevalence of drug resistance among helminths, there is a pressing need for alternative treatments derived from natural sources. Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettle, has been traditionally used for various medicinal purposes, including its purported anthelmintic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro anti-helminthic activity of ethanol leaf extract of Urtica dioica against helminth parasites. Fresh leaves of Urtica dioica were collected, dried, and powdered. The ethanol leaf extract was prepared using standard extraction methods. Various concentrations of the extract were tested against helminth parasites using established in vitro assays. The efficacy of the extract was determined by assessing parameters such as paralysis and mortality of the parasites. Preliminary findings indicate that the ethanol leaf extract of urtica dioica possesses significant anti-helminthic activity against the tested parasites. The extract exhibited dose-dependent paralysis and mortality of the helminths, with higher concentrations demonstrating greater efficacy. These results suggest the potential of Urtica dioica as a natural source of anthelmintic agents. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the specific bioactive compounds responsible for the observed anti-helminthic activity and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Urtica dioica extract in vivo. Additionally, investigations into the underlying mechanisms of action and potential synergistic effects with conventional anthelmintic drugs may provide valuable insights for the development of novel therapeutic interventions against helminthic infections. The study results when compared to standard drug of fenbendazole, ethanolic extract of Urtica dioica possess a good significant anti-helmentic activity compared to standard drug of fenbendazole.

MXene-Based Soft Humidity-Driven Actuator with High Sensitivity and Fast Response.

Soft actuators possessing notable mechanical deformations, high sensitivity, and fast response speed play a crucial role in various applications, such as artificial muscles, soft robots, and intelligent devices. In this study, a smart humidity-driven actuator was successfully fabricated by utilizing MXene/cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/LiCl (MCL) through vacuum-assisted filtration with fast response speed and high sensitivity. Utilizing the excellent humidity responsiveness of MXene/CNF and the robust hygroscopicity of LiCl, the synergistic effect of these materials enhances the hygroscopic properties and response speed of the actuator. The MCL actuator demonstrates excellent actuation performance, fast deformation, and reliable cyclic stability. To illustrate the extensive potential of the soft actuator, a range of applications, from bionic devices to soft grippers and crawling actuators, are showcased. Remarkably, the crawling actuator demonstrates sustained crawling motion without necessitating a humidity switch, relying on the humidity gradient from water droplets, and exhibits spontaneous directional motions within a certain range, which makes it a promising prospect in the field of soft robotics.

Synergy of lytic phage pB23 and meropenem combination against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Phage-antibiotic combination treatment is a novel noteworthy drug delivery method in anti-infection. In the current study, we have isolated a new phage, pB23, against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii 2023. Synergistic antibacterial effect between phage pB23 and meropenem combination could be more stable, using moderate doses of phage (multiplicity of infection ranging from 0.1 to 1,000) based on results of in vitro antibacterial activity. Phage pB23 and meropenem combination could effectively clear mature biofilms and prevent biofilm formation of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in vitro. Phage pB23 and meropenem combination also has good synergistic antibacterial effects against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in different growth phases under static culture conditions. The pig skin explant model shows that phage pB23 and meropenem combination has a synergistic effect to remove bacteria from wounds ex vivo. Phage pB23 and meropenem combination also exhibited a synergistic antibacterial effect in vivo using a zebrafish infection mode. The potential promotion of phage proliferation by meropenem and the sensitivity recovery of phage-resistant bacteria to meropenem might elucidate the mechanism of the synergistic antimicrobial activity. In summary, our study illustrates that phage pB23 and meropenem combination could produce synergistic antibacterial effects against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii under static growth conditions. This study also demonstrates that phage-antibiotic combination will become an effective strategy to enhance antibacterial activity of individual drug and provide a new idea of the drug development for the treatment of infections due to carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and other multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Cu/Co Bimetallic Carbon Catalyst as a Highly Efficient Promoter for Reactive Dyes Degradation with PMS.

The synergistic effect between bimetallic catalysts has been confirmed as an effective method for activating persulfate (PMS). Therefore, we immobilized copper-cobalt on chitosan to prepare bimetallic carbon catalysts for PMS activation and degradation of reactive dyes. Experimental results demonstrate that the CuCo-CTs/PMS catalytic degradation system exhibits excellent degradation performance toward various types of reactive dyes (e.g., Ethyl violet, Chlortalidone, and Di chlorotriazine), with degradation rates reaching 90% within 30 min. CuCo-CTs exhibit high catalytic activity over a wide pH range of 3-11 at room temperature and under static conditions, degrading over 92% of RV5 within 60 min. ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and color changes in the dye solution confirm the effective degradation of RV5, with a degradation rate of 97.2% within 10 min. Additionally, CuCo-CTs demonstrate good stability and reusability, maintaining a degradation rate of 92.8% after eight cycles. Kinetic studies indicate that the degradation follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. Furthermore, based on the results of radical scavenging experiments, the catalytic degradation mechanism of the dye involves both radical and nonradical pathways, with 1O2 identified as the primary active species. This study provides insights and experimental evidence for the application of persulfate oxidation in the treatment of dyeing wastewater.

In Silico Design and Synthesis of Antifungal Peptides Guided by Quantitative Antifungal Activity.

Antifungal peptides (AFPs) are emerging as promising candidates for advanced antifungal therapies because of their broad-spectrum efficacy and reduced resistance development. In silico design of AFPs, however, remains challenging, due to the lack of an efficient and well-validated quantitative assessment of antifungal activity. This study introduced an AFP design approach that leverages an innovative quantitative metric, named the antifungal index (AFI), through a three-step process, i.e., segmentation, single-point mutation, and global multipoint optimization. An exhaustive search of 100 putative AFP sequences indicated that random modifications without guidance only have a 5.97-20.24% chance of enhancing antifungal activity. Analysis of the search results revealed that (1) N-terminus truncation is more effective in enhancing antifungal activity than the modifications at the C-terminus or both ends, (2) introducing the amino acids within the 10-60% sequence region that enhance aromaticity and hydrophobicity are more effective in increasing antifungal efficacy, and (3) incorporating alanine, cysteine, and phenylalanine during multiple point mutations has a synergistic effect on enhancing antifungal activity. Subsequently, 28 designed peptides were synthesized and tested against four typical fungal strains. The success rate for developing promising AFPs, with a minimal inhibitory concentration of ≤5.00 μM, was an impressive 82.14%.

Selective Hydrogenation of Diethyl Malonate to 1,3-Propanediol Over Ga-Promoted Cu/SiO2 Catalysts With Enhanced Activity and Stability.

Cu catalysts with different compositions and different Cu and promoter contents were prepared by precipitation-gel method and studied for the selective hydrogenation of syngas or biomass-based diethyl malonate (DEM) to valuable 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO). The Ga-promoted 70Cu6Ga/SiO2 catalyst was found to exhibit the highest catalytic performance, achieving 100 % DEM conversion and 76.6 % 1,3-PDO selectivity under reaction conditions of 160 °C and 8 MPa H2. The 70Cu6Ga/SiO2 bimetallic catalyst also presented obviously better stability than that of the monometallic 70Cu/SiO2 catalyst in a continuous flow reactor over 180 h time-on stream. Characterization results showed that the incorporation of Ga increased the interaction between Cu and Ga species, hindered the full reduction of Cu2+ species, and thus increased the proportion of Cu+ and the number of Lewis acidic sites on the catalyst surface. The synergistic effect between Cu0 and Cu+ enhanced the adsorption and activation of ester carbonyl groups and their subsequent hydrogenation, eventually contributed to the outstanding performances of the CuGa/SiO2 bimetallic catalysts.

FTO blocks RNA translational activity via the loss of N6-methyladenosine methylation at 5' UTR regulated by RBM5 in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation has been widely regarded in numerous biological functions including CR. Nonetheless, the molecular process of m6A methylation behind CR in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has no apparent significance. We identified in this study that the expression of FTO alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase (FTO) was downregulated in CR NSCLC tissues and cells in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, RIP-seq indicated that loss of FTO contributed to the elevated m6A methylation at 5'-untranslated region of RNAs which were closely connected with tumor resistance and malignancy, and FTO exerted to exclude the recruitment of eIF3A to these target genes in CR NSCLC. Moreover, FTO-enriched transcripts displayed a reduced translational capability in CR NSCLC compared to the regular NSCLC cells. Finally, we also identified RNA binding motif protein 5 (RBM5) that could specially interact with FTO in regular NSCLC compared to CR NSCLC. Deficiency of RBM5 resulted in the abnormal recognition of transcripts by FTO, and led to the translation silencing of genes associated with CR such as ATP7A, ERCC1, CD99, CDKN3, XRCC5, and NOL3. Taken together, our data characterized FTO as a novel translation regulator and revealed the molecular mechanism on gene translation through the synergistic effects with RBM5 and m6A methylation in CR NSCLC cells.

Evaluation of fortimicin antibiotic combinations against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa and resistome analysis of a whole genome sequenced pan-drug resistant isolate

BackgroundMultidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa is a rising public health concern, challenging the treatment of such a ubiquitous pathogen with monotherapeutic anti-pseudomonal agents. Worryingly, its genome plasticity contributes to the emergence of P. aeruginosa expressing different resistant phenotypes and is now responsible for notable epidemics within hospital settings. Considering this, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic combination of fortimicin with other traditional anti-pseudomonal agents and to analyze the resistome of pan-drug resistant (PDR) isolate.MethodsStandard methods were used for analyzing the antimicrobial susceptibility tests. The checkerboard technique was used for the in vitro assessment of fortimicin antibiotic combinations against 51 MDR P. aeruginosa and whole genome sequencing was used to determine the resistome of PDR isolate.ResultsOut of 51 MDR P. aeruginosa, the highest synergistic effect was recorded for a combination of fortimicin with β-lactam group as meropenem, ceftazidime, and aztreonam at 71%, 59% and 43%, respectively. Of note, 56.8%, 39.2%, and 37.2% of the tested MDR isolates that had synergistic effects were also resistant to meropenem, ceftazidime, and aztreonam, respectively. The highest additive effects were recorded for combining fortimicin with amikacin (69%) and cefepime (44%) against MDR P. aeruginosa. Resistome analysis of the PDR isolate reflected its association with the antibiotic resistance phenotype. It ensured the presence of a wide variety of antibiotic-resistant genes (β-lactamases, aminoglycosides modifying enzymes, and efflux pump), rendering the isolate resistant to all clinically relevant anti-pseudomonal agents.ConclusionFortimicin in combination with classical anti-pseudomonal agents had shown promising synergistic activity against MDR P. aeruginosa. Resistome profiling of PDR P. aeruginosa enhanced the rapid identification of antibiotic resistance genes that are likely linked to the appearance of this resistant phenotype and may pave the way to tackle antimicrobial resistance issues shortly.

Synergistic effects of sulopenem in combination with cefuroxime or durlobactam against Mycobacterium abscessus.

Treating infections from Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab), particularly those resistant to common antibiotics like macrolides, is notoriously difficult, akin to a never-ending struggle for healthcare providers. The rate of treatment failure is even higher than that seen with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. The role of combination β-lactams in inhibiting L,D-transpeptidation, the major peptidoglycan crosslink reaction in Mab, is an area of intense investigation, and clinicians have utilized this approach in the treatment of macrolide-resistant Mab, with reports showing clinical success. In our study, we found that cefuroxime and sulopenem, when used together, display a significant synergistic effect. If this promising result seen in lab settings, translates well into real-world clinical effectiveness, it could revolutionize current treatment methods. This combination could either replace the need for more complex intravenous medications or serve as a "step down" to an oral medication regimen. Such a shift would be much easier for patients to manage, enhancing their comfort and likelihood of sticking to the treatment plan, which could lead to better outcomes in tackling these tough infections. Our research delved into how these drugs inhibit cell wall synthesis, examined time-kill data and binding studies, and provided a scientific basis for the observed synergy in cell-based assays.

Inhibition of endocytic uptake of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and endo-lysosomal acidification by diphenoxylate.

Cell culture-based screening of a chemical library identified diphenoxylate as an antiviral agent against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The observed 50% effective concentrations ranged between 1.4 and 4.9 µM against the original wild-type strain and its variants. Time-of-addition experiments indicated that diphenoxylate is an entry blocker targeting a host factor involved in viral infection. Fluorescence microscopic analysis visualized that diphenoxylate prevented SARS-CoV-2 particles from penetrating the cell membrane and also impaired endo-lysosomal acidification. Diphenoxylate exhibited a synergistic inhibitory effect on SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung epithelial Calu-3 cells when combined with a transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) inhibitor, nafamostat. This synergy suggested that efficient antiviral activity is achieved by blocking both TMPRSS2-mediated early and endosome-mediated late SARS-CoV-2 entry pathways. The antiviral efficacy of diphenoxylate against SARS-CoV-2 was reproducible in a human tonsil organoids system. In a transgenic mouse model expressing the obligate SARS-CoV-2 receptor, human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, intranasal administration of diphenoxylate (10 mg/kg/day) significantly reduced the viral RNA copy number in the lungs by 70% on day 3. This study underscores that diphenoxylate represents a promising core scaffold, warranting further exploration for chemical modifications aimed at developing a new class of clinically effective antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2.

Recent advances in nanobased flame-retardant coatings for textile fabrics

Textiles constitute a large percentage of the market due to its advantages such as being comfortable, available, diverse and easy to use, but because of its easier ignition and its thermal instability that hinder its use and that lead to a harmful effect on the environment and people. Thus, flame retardant materials have to incorporate on the textile fabrics as coating nanocomposites on their surface during finishing process or post-modification for integrating fire safety of textile fabrics. Hence, in this minireview brief classification of flame retardants based on nano-dimension for textile fabrics and their retardation actions are reviewed and discussed. Recent advances in nanoscale-based flame-retardant coatings for different textile fabrics were studied; the nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanosheets based flame retardants nanocoatings were investigated. The influence of flame retardants nanocoatings in other textile fabrics features such as antibacterial, tensile strength and conductivity were also highlighted. Additionally, synergistic flame retardancy effect of different nanomaterials with other ingredients are also studied. Moreover, the commonly flame retardancy actions for green flame retardants nanocoatings for textile fabrics were discussed. Moreover, future prospects for improving the fire safety for textile fabrics were summarized.

A bioactive nanocomposite integrated specific TAMs target and synergistic TAMs repolarization for effective cancer immunotherapy

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from photosensitizers exhibit great potential for repolarizing immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward the anti-tumor M1 phenotype, representing a promising cancer immunotherapy strategy. Nevertheless, their effectiveness in eliminating solid tumors is generally limited by the instability and inadequate TAMs-specific targeting of photosensitizers. Here, a novel core-shell integrated nano platform is proposed to achieve a coordinated strategy of repolarizing TAMs for potentiating cancer immunotherapy. Colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSN) are fabricated to encapsulate photosensitizer-Indocyanine Green (ICG) to improve their stability. Then ginseng-derived exosome (GsE) was coated on the surface of ICG/CMSN for targeting TAMs, as well as repolarizing TAMs concurrently, named ICG/CMSN@GsE. As expected, with the synergism of ICG and GsE, ICG/CMSN@GsE exhibited better stability, mild generation of ROS, favorable specificity toward M2-like macrophages, enhancing drug retention in tumors and superior TAMs repolarization potency, then exerted a potent antitumor effect. In vivo, experiment results also confirm the synergistic suppression of tumor growth accompanied by the increased presence of anti-tumor M1-like macrophages and maximal tumor damage. Taken together, by integrating the superiorities of TAMs targeting specificity and synergistic TAMs repolarization effect into a single nanoplatform, ICG/CMSN@GsE can readily serve as a safe and high-performance nanoplatform for enhanced cancer immunotherapy.

Preparation of hollow double-layer Pt@CeO2 nanospheres as oxidase mimetics for the colorimetric-fluorescent-SERS triple-mode detection of glutathione in serum

Glutathione (GSH) is an essential antioxidant in the human body, but its detection is difficult due to the interference of complex components in serum. Herein, hollow double-layer Pt@CeO2 nanospheres were developed as oxidase mimetics, and the light-assisted oxidase mimetics effects were found. The oxidase activity was enhanced significantly by utilizing the synergistic effect of Schottky junction and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Pt under UV light. A novel GSH colorimetric-fluorescent-SERS sensing platform was established, with the sensing performance notably boosted by using the light-assisted oxidase mimetics effects. This platform boasts an exceptionally low detection limit (LOD) of 0.084 μM, while the detection time was shortened from 10 min to just 2 min. The anti-interference detection with high recovery rate (96.84%–107.4 %) in real serum made it be promising for practical application.
