Modeling and experimental validation of an indirect active hybrid solar dryer for mint leaves: Coupled thermal and moisture-transfer analysis

A mathematical model was developed and experimentally validated to predict the thermal performance and drying behavior of an indirect active solar dryer (IAHSD) for mint leaves. The distinctive contribution of the proposed approach is its integration of solar-energy input, auxili...

UV-C irradiation and hermetic storage modulate essential oil profiles and antifungal bioactivity of Apiaceae fruits during long-term storage

Abstract Long-term storage can erode the value of Apiaceae fruits through volatilization and compositional drift of their essential oils (EOs). This study evaluated UV-C pre-treatment (25 min) and packaging type as practical approaches to preserve EO quality in fennel ( Foeniculu...

Evaluation of relative safety and therapeutic efficacy of antihyperlipidemic drug regimens used alone or in combination in cardiovascular disease: randomized controlled study

Abstract Background Statin monotherapy is a cornerstone of lipid-lowering therapy for reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular risk in patients with dyslipidemia. However, many patients at moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk fail to achieve recomme...

Green stability-indicating RP-HPLC method for simultaneous bioanalysis of tedizolid phosphate and ciprofloxacin in human plasma

Abstract Tedizolid phosphate (TP) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) represent orally effective antibiotics that are often administered in combination for hospitalized patients with complicated or mixed infections, aiming to provide wide antimicrobial coverage. This study describes, for the...

High mobility protein group box-1 as a biomarker for prediction of severity and clinical outcome of ischemic stroke: preliminary findings

Abstract Background High Mobility Group Box 1 protein functions as a danger-associated molecular pattern and is crucial in the pathophysiology of ischemic damage and ensuing inflammatory responses. Objective To assess the role of HMGB1 as a biomarker for evaluation of the severit...

Early-Life Antibiotic Exposure Disrupts Bifidobacterium in Infants: A qPCR-Based Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Early infancy represents a critical window for establishing the gut microbiome, during which Bifidobacterium species dominate and play essential roles in metabolic, immune and intestinal maturation. Antibiotic exposure during this sensitive period may disrupt microbia...

The impact of religiosity and enforcement on ESG decoupling: an international study

Purpose This paper investigates how religiosity affects environmental, social and governance (ESG) decoupling. It also examines how enforcement quality moderates this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Using a dataset of 34,330 firm-year observations from 29 countries (200...

Digital epidemiology investments, Saudi Arabia.

Problem: Traditional epidemiological surveillance methods are often limited by delays in reporting and fragmented data systems. Saudi Arabia faces additional public health challenges from mass gatherings during Hajj and Umrah, an increasing burden of noncommunicable diseases and...
