Eco Grow Pellets are high-porosity plant-growing clay pellets made from ceramic industrial sediment, blended with ground chicken bone to enhance calcium and essential minerals, promoting strong and healthy plant growth. They are suitable for all types of plants, especially those requiring well-aerated soil with good water drainage. Eco Grow Pellets are an innovative clay-based growing medium designed to optimize plant cultivation efficiency. Their high porosity structure allows for excellent air and water circulation, reducing soil compaction and waterlogging—common causes of root rot and stunted growth. Additionally, the pellets are enriched with calcium and essential minerals from ground chicken bones, reinforcing plant structure and enhancing root strength, enabling better nutrient absorption. This product is made from 100% recycled ceramic industrial sediment, aligning with the principles of Zero Waste and the BCG Economy Model. It helps minimize industrial waste while transforming discarded materials into high-value, eco-friendly growing media. Eco Grow Pellets are ideal for vegetables, flowers, and potted plants, offering ease of use, cleanliness, and safety. They contribute to sustainable agriculture by improving both crop productivity and environmental health.

Cancer remains a major global health challenge as the second-leading cause of human death worldwide. The traditional treatments for cancer beyond surgical resection include radiation and chemotherapy; however, these therapies can cause serious adverse side effects due to their high killing potency but low tumor selectivity. The FDA approved monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target TIGIT/PVR (T-cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain/poliovirus receptor) which is an emerging immune checkpoint molecules has been developed; however, the clinical translation of immune checkpoint inhibitors based on antibodies is hampered due to immunogenicity, immunological-related side effects, and high costs, even though these mAbs show promising therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials. To overcome these bottlenecks, small-molecule inhibitors may offer advantages such as better oral bioavailability and tumor penetration compared to mAbs due to their smaller size. Here, we performed structure-based virtual screening of FDA-approved drug repertoires. The 100 screened candidates were further narrowed down to 10 compounds using molecular docking, with binding affinities ranging from -9.152 to -7.643 kcal/mol. These compounds were subsequently evaluated for their pharmacokinetic properties using ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) analysis, which demonstrated favorable drug-like characteristics. The lead compounds will be further analyzed for conformational changes and binding stability against TIGIT through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to ensure that no significant conformational changes occur in the protein structure. Collectively, this study represents the potential of computational methods and drug repurposing as effective strategies for drug discovery, facilitating the accelerated development of novel cancer treatments.

This research suggested natural hemp fiber-reinforced ropes (FRR) polymer usage to reinforce recycled aggregate square concrete columns that contain fired-clay solid brick aggregates in order to reduce the high costs associated with synthetic fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). A total of 24 square columns of concrete were fabricated to conduct this study. The samples were tested under a monotonic axial compression load. The variables of interest were the strength of unconfined concrete and the number of FRRlayers. According to the results, the strengthened specimens demonstrated an increased compressive strength and ductility. Notably, the specimens with the smallest unconfined strength demonstrated the largest improvement in compressive strength and ductility. Particularly, the compressive strength and strain were enhanced by up to 181% and 564%, respectively. In order to predict the ultimate confined compressive stress and strain, this study investigated a number of analytical stress–strain models. A comparison of experimental and theoretical findings deduced that only a limited number of strength models resulted in close predictions, whereas an even larger scatter was observed for strain prediction. Machine learning was employed by using neural networks to predict the compressive strength. A dataset comprising 142 specimens strengthened with hemp FRP was extracted from the literature. The neural network was trained on the extracted dataset, and its performance was evaluated for the experimental results of this study, which demonstrated a close agreement.
