Sustainable contributions of the use of industrial and municipal wastes as an alternative fuel in cement plants – a review

Abstract One of the most appropriate methods of utilizing different types of waste is using these wastes as alternative fuels in cement factories and similar enterprises. In this paper, the impacts of the use of waste mixtures as alternative fuels in cement plants on process para...

Postmortem Gene Expression and the Thanatotranscriptome: Postmortem Interval Estimation, Forensic Applications, and Future Perspectives

Postmortem molecular changes are more complex than a passive, uniform cessation of all cellular activity. Human and animal studies have demonstrated that certain RNA transcripts remain detectable for defined periods after death and that transcript levels exhibit tissue- and time-...

Comparative autoignition and NOx characteristics of NH3/DME and NH3/MeOH blends under temperature, pressure, and equivalence-ratio variations

A comparative chemical-kinetic assessment of dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol (MeOH) as ammonia ignition promoters was performed under identical reactor and mixture constraints. Blends containing 70% NH 3 and 30% DME or MeOH were simulated in an adiabatic constant-pressure react...

Composition-Dependent Microwave Shielding Performance of Kaolinite/Chopped-Strand Composites for Wide Frequency Range

The increasing demand for high-frequency electronic and communication systems has intensified the need for lightweight and efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. In this study, the conventional oxide mixing method was used to form kaolinite-chopped stra...

Mapping the Landscape of State-Level Cybersecurity Planning: An Analysis of 50 U.S. States from 2015 to 2021

The cybersecurity planning landscape across U.S. state governments is both critically important and surprisingly understudied. This article provides a systematic document-based comparative analysis of publicly available cybersecurity planning materials across all 50 U.S. states....

Bond characteristics of GFRP and BFRP bars embedded in Self-Compacting Concrete with different substitutes

This study investigates the bond behavior of GFRP, BFRP, and steel bars in Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with and without cement replacements. Three specific SCC mixtures were developed: a control batch using only Portland Cement (PC), one utilizing Fly Ash (FA) as a partial PC...

Relationship Between Post-Leaching Particle Shape Characteristics and Rare Earth Element Recovery from Pb-Zn Flotation Tailings

This study investigates the relationship between post-leaching particle shape characteristics and the recovery of cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), and neodymium (Nd) from Pb-Zn flotation tailings leached in H2SO4, HCl, and HNO3 media. Rather than evaluating particle morphology as a f...

Computational Wave Field Theory

This book proposes a way of thinking about computation the way physicists think about quantum mechanics. In that picture, a computation is the dynamics of a wave-like field. Events happen at random. If one happens at a given tick, the chance that it happens at each place is the s...

Relationship between internalized stigma, spiritual orientation and violence tendency in male criminals in a high-security forensic psychiatry unit

Purpose In forensic psychiatric communities, internalized stigma and interpersonal violence pose significant obstacles. It has been proposed that spiritual orientation may be a protective factor affecting psychological health and behavioral consequences. The purpose of this study...

Beyond Intergroup Relations: The Tertiary Transfer Effect of Intergroup Contact on Pro-Environmental Behavioral Intentions / Más allá de las relaciones intergrupales: el efecto de transferencia terciaria del contacto intergrupal sobre las intenciones de comportamiento proambiental

This study explores whether experiences of intergroup contact are linked to pro-environmental behavioral intentions through the mediating effects of SDO-D and SDO-E as dimensions of social dominance orientation (SDO), thereby reflecting the tertiary transfer effect of contact. Th...

Experimental investigation of the effect of nanoparticle size on the Thermophysical properties and heat transfer performance of sol–gel synthesized MgO/water Nanofluids for heat exchanger applications

This study experimentally investigates the effect of nanoparticle size and its associated surface properties on the heat transfer performance and thermophysical properties of water-based magnesium oxide (MgO) nanofluids synthesized via the sol–gel method. High-purity MgO nanopart...

On spaces of Euclidean triangles and triangulated Euclidean surfaces

Abstract In this paper, we introduce an asymmetric distance function on the space of marked Euclidean triangles of normalised area, and we prove several properties of this metric, which turns out to be (a restriction of) a non-symmetric version of the classical Thompson distance....

Remediation of phenol and p-nitrophenol from contaminated water using raw and quaternized Annona muricata L. peels

Phenol and p -nitrophenol (PNP) are toxic, widely occurring phenolic pollutants requiring cost-effective removal methods. This study evaluates raw Annona muricata L. peels (RGP) and peels chemically quaternized (QGP) as low-cost biosorbents for phenol and PNP remediation from aqu...

Exergy and environmental sustainability assessment of PV integrated greenhouse cucumber production

Abstract This study examines the thermodynamic and environmental performance of cucumber produced under greenhouse conditions in Türkiye with a holistic approach. The analysis, conducted in the provinces of Kırklareli and Konya, calculated cumulative energy consumption (CEnC), cu...

The Impact of Earthquake-Induced Healthcare Disruption on an Established Developmental Hip Dysplasia Screening Program in an Earthquake Zone

Background/Objectives: Pandemics and natural disasters may delay the diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). In this study, we evaluated the effect of 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake-induced healthcare disruption on the DDH screening program. Methods: M...
