Indoor photovoltaic (IPV) technology has emerged as an effective strategy to sustainably power batteryless Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Though tin perovskite solar cells offer competitive IPV performance, their effectiveness is often compromised by Sn oxidation, particularly when processed with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. This work explored the IPV performance of DMSO-free tin perovskites FASnI Br by tuning the halide composition.

This study presents the first in vitro investigation of the effects of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) MP contamination on rumen fermentation dynamics and feed utilization in a simulated ruminal digestive system. Concentrate feed was incubated in buffered rumen fluid collected from lambs, supplemented with LDPE MPs at concentrations of 3.

A comprehensive bibliometric search was conducted for published articles using the keywords 'nasal carriage', 'Urinary , 'nasal MRSA', 'staphylococci-HIV coinfection', 'urinary MRSA' and 'all states of Nigeria'. Eligible studies and the number of subjects (n) were analysed according to the PRISMA criteria.

This comparative cross-sectional study aimed to determine the carriage rate, serotypes, as well as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of the isolates among pregnant and non-pregnant women in Jos metropolis, Nigeria.
Methodology: High vagina and anorectal swab samples were collected from 200 pregnant women and 100 non-pregnant women.
