Combined effects of material selection and surface engineering on the wear behavior of glass crusher blades in deposit return systems

Abstract The wear behavior of glass crusher blades used in deposit return systems was investigated by evaluating the combined effects of material selection and surface engineering. Eight different steels were tested under simulated glass-crushing conditions using a custom-designe...

Development and Validation of the Sharenting Behavior Scale Among Parents

Due to the proliferation of social media, sharenting has become a widespread parental behavior. Its prevalence, combined with its potential impact on children’s privacy and well-being, highlights the need for a parent-specific psychometric instrument. The present study aimed to d...

Experimental investigation and optimization of 3D-printed circumferentially corrugated multi-cell polygonal structures

Purpose This study aims to investigate the crashworthiness of 3D-printed multi-cell thin-walled polylactic acid plus (PLA+) tubes under quasi-static axial compression. The objective is to explore the influence of inner geometry, radius application and diameter variations on crash...

Bibliometric Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Use in Small Animal Thoracic Radiography

ABSTRACT Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in veterinary diagnostic imaging, particularly in thoracic radiology, to support image interpretation. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate research trends in AI applications for small animal thoraci...

Comparison of propofol and propofol–ketamine anesthesia on optic nerve sheath diameter in endovascular cerebral aneurysm procedures: a prospective randomized study

Endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms requires anesthetic strategies that maintain cerebral perfusion and hemodynamic stability while avoiding increases in intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured by ultrasonography is commonl...

One Dimensional Modeling and Multi Objective Optimization of the Parallel Channel Count and Coolant Flow Rate of a Battery Module Cooling System via Machine Learning Surrogates

Thermal management of lithium ion cells is one of the main challenges in EV battery pack design. In this study, a surrogate model assisted multi objective optimization framework is presented for a liquid-cooled parallel channel battery thermal management system (BTMS). A battery...

Enhanced stellar oscillation algorithm for optimal design of inudstrial components

Abstract This paper introduces the Modified Stellar Oscillation Optimizer (MSOA) for constrained industrial design problems. The base optimizer, which models the pulsation and oscillatory behavior of stars, is hybridized with chaotic maps. MSOA is tested on five constrained engin...

Common Food Emulsifiers Impair Epithelial Barrier Integrity and Trigger Pro‐Inflammatory Responses and IgE Production

The global rise in allergic and autoimmune diseases since the 1960s has been associated with environmental disruptions of epithelial barriers, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Among the implicated factors are food emulsifiers, which have become increasingly prevalent i...

Outcomes of living related kidney donors of recipients with familial mediterranean fever-associated Amyloid A Amyloidosis

BACKGROUND: Living kidney donation among carefully selected individuals is generally considered safe but post-donation health risks vary by factors including family history. Data on long-term outcomes of related living kidney donors of recipients with familial Mediterranean fever...

Long-term peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in untreated retinopathy of prematurity with spontaneous regression at or beyond 45 weeks’ postmenstrual age

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) may be associated with persistent retinal structural differences despite spontaneous clinical regression. This study evaluated long-term peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in preterm children with untreated ROP that regressed...

Disciplinary literacy in high school CLIL Mathematics: a CEFR descriptor-based study

Abstract This study investigates the extent to which the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)-linked descriptors are transferable to mathematical and disciplinary literacy in Mathematics through Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). It was conduc...

Taguchi gray relational analysis for multi-objective optimization of carbon fiber reinforced PLA

Abstract The most widely used additive manufacturing method is FDM. This technique depends on printing parameters. Most studies optimize a single mechanical property of a part. However, parts are often subjected to multiple loadings. This study, which focuses on Carbon Fiber rein...

Longitudinal vibrations of bi-directionally functionally graded microbars with deformable boundaries

Abstract The present research focuses on the longitudinal vibration analysis of a microbar resting on an elastic foundation, incorporating deformable (spring-based) boundary conditions. The material is modeled as functionally graded in two spatial directions. The governing equati...

Distinct associations of APRI and creatinine-based ratios with disease severity and adverse perinatal outcomes in preeclampsia

To evaluate the discriminatory performance and clinical associations of the aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), uric acid-to-creatinine (UA/Cr) ratio, and creatinine-to-fibrinogen ratio beyond clinical variables for assessment of disease severity and advers...

Inactivation of E. coli and P. aeruginosa by UV-A-Activated PMS and PDS, and Alkaline-Activated PDS: A Comparative Study

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of peroxydisulfate(PDS)/peroxymonosulfate(PMS) activated using different methods for inactivating E.coli and P.aeruginosa . The UV-A, UV-A/PDS, PMS, and NaOH/PDS processes were used to inactivate E.coli and P.aeruginosa ....
