Genome-wide identification and tissue-specific profiling of microRNAs in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key post-transcriptional regulators involved in plant development, metabolism, and stress adaptation. Despite the agronomic importance of lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.), its miRNA landscape remains relatively underexplored. This study aimed to generate a c...

Field-Scale Spatial Modeling of Soil Properties in the Harran Plain Using IDW and Auxiliary Variable-Based Co-Kriging

This study aimed to evaluate the field-scale spatial variability of selected soil properties in a 30-decare agricultural area located in the southeastern Harran Plain, Şanlıurfa, Türkiye. A total of 54 surface soil samples (0–30 cm) were collected using a 25 × 25 m grid design. S...

Identification of the major phenolic compounds in Alcea setosa (Boiss.) Alef. and a systematic review of their chemotherapeutic activities

In this study, the aim was to determine potential chemotherapeutic agents with a phenolic structure in Alcea setosa (Boiss.) Alef. plant. In this context, solutions were obtained from various parts of the plant (flowers, leaves, seeds, and stems) using the infusion method with mu...

Additive manufacturing of hydroxyapatite/3Y-ZrO2 bioceramics by digital light processing: enhanced mechanical strength, cytocompatibility, and antibacterial performance for potential load-bearing bone repair

Purpose This study aims to develop hydroxyapatite (HA)-based bioceramic scaffolds reinforced with 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-ZrO2) using digital light processing (DLP) additive manufacturing, and to evaluate their mechanical strength, cytocompatibility and antibacteria...

Contrasting effects of mineral, farmyard manure, and integrated fertilization on soybean productivity, seed quality, and soil biochemical properties

Mineral and organic fertilizers differ in nutrient-release patterns and effects on soil biological processes, yet their combined influence on soybean productivity, seed composition, and soil biochemical functioning remains unclear. This study evaluated soybean and soil responses...

Dental pulp stones as an independent predictor for extracranial carotid artery calcification: a cross-sectional cone-beam computed tomography analysis

Vascular calcification is a key indicator of cardiovascular risk, and dental imaging allows its visualization. Dental pulp calcifications (pulp stones) have been suggested as markers of systemic mineralization. This study aimed to assess the association between pulp stones and ex...

Towards evaluating the effects of visualization and task types on urban planning decisions

Abstract. This study compares visualization types, i.e., 3D, 2D, Oblique 3D, and Combined 2D+3D, coupled in a pairwise fashion for different tasks and scenarios, and investigates their influence on decision-making across selected urban planning tasks. Specifically, we study site...

Blood Pressure and Angina-Related Health Status During Benidipine Therapy: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Benidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome. Although it effectively lowers blood pressure (BP), the relationship between BP reduction and improvement in angina-related health status during b...
