Abstract Background Most pancreatic cancer patients present with advanced stage at diagnosis with extremely short expected survival and few treatment options.A multimodal palliative approach is necessary for symptom relief and optimisation of health-related quality of life.In a recent open-label trial of mistletoe extract for advanced pancreatic ca

This paper aims to examine the role of Islamic finance and technology in unlocking the potential of MSMEs.In recent years Islamic Towels finance has enjoyed rapid growth, but several challenges remain.Data show significant unmet demand for Shariah-compliant financial services, particularly among micro-small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).To f

P2.5 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (P2.5-PHEVs) exhibit high transmission efficiencies and no power interruption in the shifting and mode switching process; thus, they have broad application prospects.The power transmission in a PHEV under pure electric startup does not entail the clutch, and the initial torque of the motor is often set under th

Two-dimensional MX2 (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se, Te) homo- and heterostructures have attracted extensive attention in electronics and optoelectronics due to their unique structures and properties.In this work, the layer-dependent electronic and Salt Lamps optical properties have been studied by varying layer thickness and stacking order.Based on the quan

Sunflower varieties having plants with armored-layer seeds resulted in a high reduction of seed damage caused by larval feeding of the sunflower moth, Homoeosoma electel-lum (Hulst).Several sunflower lines were significantly more resistant to seed damage when Shooting Mittens the plants had armored-layer seeds than when the same lines had non-armor
