Quantile Analysis of Economic Growth, Foreign Direct Investment, and Renewable Energy on CO₂ Emissions in Brazil: Insights for Sustainable Development by Fatema Fauze Moh Ben Abd Alah, Opeoluwa Seun Ojekemi

“…This study investigates the influence of coal consumption (COAL), gross domestic product (GDP), renewable energy (REN), and foreign direct investment (FDI) on CO₂ emissions in Brazil using quarterly data from 1990Q1 to 2020Q4. Employing the Quantile-on-Quantile Kernel-Based Regularized Least Squares (QQKRLS) method and the Quantile-on-Quantile Granger Causality (QQGC) test, we uncover significant nonlinear and distributional heterogeneities in these relationships. …”

Pterostilbene-isothiocyanate conjugate suppresses growth of prostate cancer cells irrespective of androgen receptor status. by Kumar Nikhil, Shruti Sharan, Ajanta Chakraborty, Partha Roy

“…Moreover, anti-androgenic activity of the conjugate was mediated by decreased expression of AR and its co-activators (SRC-1, GRIP-1), thus interfering in their interactions with AR. All these data suggests that conjugate-induced inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis are partly mediated by the down regulation of AR, Akt, and ERK signaling. …”
