Comparative study of PARSEC, CST, and Bezier-PARSEC (BP3333) for GA-driven wind-turbine airfoil design

Efficient aerodynamic design of wind-turbine blade sections relies on robust shape parameterization coupled with powerful optimization. This study benchmarks three leading schemes-PARSEC, Class/Shape Transformation (CST), and Bezier-PARSEC 3333 (BP3333) – within a genetic algorit...

Evaluation of Service Effectiveness of Tram Systems at Stop-Level Using DEA: The Case of Eskisehir, Türkiye

Abstract Public transportation systems are characterized by the simultaneous production and consumption of services, meaning unused capacity cannot be stored. For this reason, the effectiveness of the service provided is a critical performance indicator for public transport opera...

Advances in 3D Bioprinting for Breast Cancer Modeling: Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis, and Drug Screening

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and heterogeneous milieu encompassing biological and biochemical events and diverse physical, chemical, and mechanical interactions between tumor and stromal cells. This heterogeneity plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor progressi...

Wearable narratives: material, technical, and structural integration in industrial apparel—a practice-based multiple-case study

This study develops a three-mode analytical typology (material, technical, and structural narrative integration) for comparing how industrial apparel designers translate narrative intent into the material fabric of garments; a fourth strategy, phygital, is advanced as a proposed...

A refined decay condition for a high-contrast sandwich plate subject to antiplane shear

Abstract A three-layered elastic semi-infinite strip subject to antiplane shear is considered. The relative stiffness ratio is assumed to be a small parameter. The so-called decay conditions generalising the Saint-Venant’s principle are studied. A first-order asymptotic correctio...

Measurement properties of instruments to measure lower limb functional ability and balance after technology-assisted physical activity interventions in community-dwelling older adults: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

With the growing evidence of technology-assisted interventions, psychometrically robust instruments are essential for evaluating their outcomes and providing evidence-based clinical decisions. This umbrella review aimed to determine lower-limb functional ability and balance instr...

Design, Synthesis, and X-ray Characterization of Benzohydrazide Derivatives as Cholinesterase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: An Experimental and Computational Approach to Biological Activity

In this study, a series of new benzohydrazide derivatives (1a-i) were synthesized, and characterized as potential cholinesterase inhibitors for use in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds against acetylcholinesterase (A...

Congestion-Triggered Electric-Vehicle Charging Station Assignment Using Short-Term Cumulative Demand Forecasts

Short-term congestion at public electric-vehicle charging stations depends on both near-future demand and how vehicles are distributed across the network. We forecast cumulative station-level charging initiations and use the forecasts in congestion-triggered station assignment. T...

A SCADA-integrated predictive maintenance architecture for aircraft engines: comparative AI modelling and economic assessment

Purpose This study proposes a SCADA-integrated predictive maintenance framework for aircraft engine health monitoring by leveraging machine learning and deep learning models. The objective is to enhance early fault detection capability, reduce unexpected failures, and support cos...

Effects of in-season block training periodization on training and match loads in elite young soccer players

This study investigated the effects of in-season block periodization on internal and external load responses during training and match play in elite youth soccer players. Fifteen male players (age: 17.6 ± 0.95 years) from the academy of a professional club competing in the 2021–2...

Strengthening of Caucasian Fir and Anatolian Black Pine by using CFRP and investigating the effect of mechanical and microstructural properties on the strengthening process

Wood, one of the oldest building materials, continues to thrive alongside other construction materials due to its unique properties. As an anisotropic, hygroscopic material, wood’s mechanical properties vary with direction, and it can lose strength over time due to structural def...

A Comparative Analysis of AR’s and MR’s Transformative Roles in the Context of Design Stages

In the digital age of Industry 4.0, design education is shaped by technological and social transformations, increasingly adopting innovative approaches. As digital skills become vital, immersive technologies have emerged with new propositions for educational environments. By blur...
