Effects of different growing media on germination performance and seedling morphology of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) seeds

As global awareness of the nutritional and economic value of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) continues to grow, new commercial plantations are being established worldwide, requiring large quantities of uniform, high-quality nursery stock. In this study, the effects of four growi...

The effects of incubation green lighting on hatchability, chick length, and chick weight in broiler chickens: a meta-analysis

Abstract Green light stimulation during incubation is a potential strategy for enhancing hatching traits. However, findings across studies remain inconsistent. Therefore, this meta-analysis evaluated the impact of green light exposure during incubation on chick length, hatchabili...

Agronomic performance and leaf-morphological evaluation of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) germplasm under the environmental conditions of Adana

The identification of high-yielding basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.) genotypes is essential for the sustainable supply of industrial raw material in Mediterranean agroecosystems. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance, leaf morphology, and selection potential of a div...

A Natural Approach to Improving Berry Quality in Table Grapes: Inactivated Yeast Extracts

Inactivated yeast extracts derived from S. cerevisiae have recently gained attention as natu-ral and environmentally sustainable elicitors. In this study, the effect of foliar yeast treat-ment on anthocyanin and phenol profiles, antioxidant activity, skin color, and table grape q...

Sense of coherence, experiential avoidance, and internalising and externalising behaviours among adolescents: a two-wave study

Sense of coherence is regarded as a key psychological resource for adolescents' behavioural adjustment, enabling them to perceive stressors as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful. However, the role of experiential avoidance in the association between sense of coherence and...

Artificial intelligence in eating disorder research: a scoping review with bibliometric analysis of trends, methodologies, and translational readiness (2016–2025)

Abstract Purpose Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in eating disorder research have expanded rapidly, yet the structure, scope, and translational readiness of this literature have not been systematically mapped. This study aimed to characterise publication trends, AI meth...

Bayesian-optimized hybrid CNN–RNN framework for high-fidelity prediction of spindle thermal deformation in CNC machine tools

Thermal drift is a major source of dimensional inaccuracy in CNC machine tools. This study presents an integrated framework that combines finite element (FE) thermal validation, synchronized multi-sensor temperature and displacement measurements, and Bayesian optimization of hybr...

Prospective evaluation of the EASIX score for predicting erectile dysfunction: a comparative model analysis

This prospective study aimed to evaluate the predictive utility of the Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) score in determining the presence and severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) and to compare its performance against a baseline clinical model. A total of 236 male...

Dietary intake, metabolic control and growth in patients with organic acidemia and urea cycle disorders

Organic acidemias (OA) and urea cycle disorders (UCD) require lifelong natural dietary protein restriction and, when needed, amino acid mixtures. However, evidence on the long-term effects of these nutritional interventions on growth, dietary adequacy, and metabolic control remai...

Generational changes in lung function in adults from several world regions: results from the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study

This study estimated birth cohort effects on lung function using BOLD (Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease) data from 28 569 adults born between 1902 and 1976 across 41 sites in 34 countries. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) and the FEV 1 /FVC...

Evaluation of Hemogram Parameters by Folate Status in Infants with Vitamin B12 Deficiency: A Potential Masking Effect

Background: Folate and vitamin B12 interact in one-carbon metabolism, and imbalance between them may influence hematological findings. Although high folate status may mask vitamin B12 deficiency in adults, evidence in infants is limited. This study evaluated the association betwe...

Discovery of two non-native mealybugs in Germany: Conicosoma gracile and Puto barberi (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae, Putoidae)

Abstract Scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha) are obligate phytophagous insects that often become pests on ornamental plants, particularly indoors. Due to their purpose, botanical gardens require the constant exchange of plant material to maintain and enhance th...

Study of Supernova Neutrinos at ESSnuSB

In this paper, we have studied the sensitivity of the ESSnuSB far detector to supernova neutrinos. ESSnuSB is a proposed long-baseline neutrino experiment in Sweden, which will use a 538 kt water Cherenkov detector to probe the leptonic phase δCP by studying the second oscillatio...

Climate Risk Perception and Support for Cost-Bearing Environmental Action: A Social Constraint on Sustainability Transitions in Türkiye’s Mediterranean Region

Sustainability transitions depend on public willingness to carry the costs they impose, yet recognition of climate risk does not necessarily extend to support for measures that place those costs directly on households. This exploratory cross-sectional study examines that distinct...

Results from the Pan-European CIEMAR study: Local Tumour Control After Microwave Ablation of Colorectal Liver Metastases and Exploratory Associations with Ablation Margins and Confirmation Software
