Sea‐level highstand recorded in the Last Interglacial shallow marine deposits from the Tangier region, Morocco

ABSTRACT The Moroccan coast provides valuable insight into how large‐scale climate and sea‐level variations have manifested themselves at the regional level. In this paper, we present new findings from shallow marine deposits in the Achakkar Basin near Tangier, Morocco. Data from...

Sex‐Disaggregated Condition and Reproductive Investment in Sardina pilchardus Reveal a Decadal Reversal and Non‐Stationary Climate Responses in the Southern Alboran Sea

ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish are highly sensitive to environmental variability, yet sex‐disaggregated assessments of condition and reproductive investment remain rare in Mediterranean fisheries science and absent for the Southern Alboran Sea (SAS). Here, we report a decadal revers...

Groundwater–Stream Connectivity Under Climate Change: Implications for the Ecology, Conservation and Sustainability of Urban Streams

Freshwater systems, including urban streams and groundwater, are increasingly affected by climate change through altered precipitation, rising temperatures, droughts, floods, and changing water demand. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on how these pressures modify groun...

Molecular Dynamics-Guided Triage of Approved Drugs Against Escherichia coli Resistance Targets Nominates Capmatinib, Metergoline and Nilotinib as Candidates for Experimental Testing

Virtual screening ranks compounds by scoring functions that correlate with molecular size, and hit lists are rarely benchmarked against compounds of established activity. We screened 2070 approved drugs against four Escherichia coli targets selected by pocket-druggability triage...

3D-printed PLA/CNT/pyrrhotite ash composites for absorption-dominated EMI shielding and improved flame retardancy

Combining EMI shielding with flame retardancy in a single lightweight composite remains a key requirement for next-generation electronics and communication hardware. This work reports multifunctional 3D-printed PLA composites built from hybrid CNT/pyrrhotite ash (PA) fillers, fur...

Phenolic Profiling and OECD-Guided Acute and Subacute Oral Toxicity Assessment of Cannabis sativa L. Seed Hydroethanolic Extract

Cannabis sativa L. seeds have been traditionally used in Moroccan folk medicine and are increasingly recognized as a valuable source of nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals with promising therapeutic properties. Despite their widespread traditional and nutritional use, scientif...

Surrogate‐Assisted Multi‐Objective Optimization of an Axial‐Flow Ventricular Assist Device Rotor Using CFD , Hybrid Surrogates, Sobol Analysis, and MOPSO

ABSTRACT Background This study presents a surrogate‐assisted workflow for multi‐objective optimization of an axial‐flow ventricular assist device (VAD) rotor using 4809 steady‐state CFD simulations spanning six geometric variables. Methods Repeated learning‐curve analysis and bla...

Protocol for: Adaptive Quality of Service Management in Energy-Constrained IoT Networks — A Systematic Literature Review

This record contains the research protocol and the classification database of a PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic literature review on adaptive Quality of Service (QoS) management in energy-constrained IoT networks (147 studies published 2018–2025: 128 research articles and 19 sur...

Rethinking Oasis Research in North Africa and Sahel: A Systematic Review of Scientific Gaps, Methodological Biases, and Conservation Priorities for Agrobiodiversity

North African oases constitute critical socio-ecosystems characterised by complex agro-biodiversity and millennia of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). Nevertheless, such fragile landscapes are confronted with mounting pressures from climate change and an-thropogenic activit...

Integrative computational repositioning of Foretinib and PF-03715455 as potential GSTP1 inhibitors for cancer chemosensitization

Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) plays a key role in tumor progression and drug detoxification, making it a promising target for reversing chemoresistance in cancer cells. Although several GSTP1 inhibitors have been identified, none have progressed to clinical use, mainly bec...

Peganum harmala L.: Essential Oil Composition, Extraction Technologies, Biological Activities and Emerging Applications

Peganum harmala L. is a xerophytic medicinal and aromatic plant of considerable ethnopharmacological importance, characterized by a rich diversity of β-carboline alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and essential oil constituents. Despite increasing scientific interest, current knowled...

Electropolymerization of carvacrol on mild steel surfaces: a coating for corrosion protection in 0.1 M NaCl

Steels find extensive use and applications across various industries thanks to their manifold properties. However, they remain sensitive to corrosion in aggressive environments like salt water. While traditionally used corrosion inhibitors exhibit toxicity and environmental impac...

Neonatal Presentation of Suspected Vici Syndrome: A Case Report with Multisystem Features

Abstract Vici syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder caused by biallelic mutations in the EPG5 gene. It is classically characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, oculocutaneous hypopigmentation, combined immunodeficiency with recurrent infections, cata...

Tolerance-aware robust ranking of ventricular assist device rotor designs using strict feasibility and percentile-based criteria

Manufacturing variability can alter the hydraulic and hemocompatibility performance of a ventricular assist device (VAD) rotor even when the nominal design is computationally optimal. This study presents a surrogate-assisted robust-design workflow for a rotary VAD using a CFD-der...

Dynamic computed tomography in the diagnosis of two mediastinal hemangiomas

Mediastinal hemangioma is a rare benign vascular lesion representing less than 0.5% of mediastinal masses and remains a diagnostic challenge because of its non-specific clinical and radiological presentation. We report two cases of mediastinal hemangioma in which dynamic contrast...
