Monomial ideals whose all matching powers are Cohen–Macaulay

Abstract In the present article, we aim to classify monomial ideals whose all matching powers are Cohen–Macaulay. We especially focus our attention on edge ideals. The Cohen–Macaulayness of the last matching power of an edge ideal is characterized, providing an algebraic analog o...

Evolutionary Divergence and Essentiality of the Single Tim17‐Centered Translocase of the Mitochondrial Inner Membrane in Trypanosoma brucei

ABSTRACT Translocase of the mitochondrial inner membrane (TIM) is essential for importing nuclear‐encoded proteins, a critical process for organelle biogenesis and function. While TIM is well‐characterized in a wide range of eukaryotes, it is remarkably divergent in the parasitic...

Identity Restlessness of Feyli Kurds in Post‐Saddam Iraq: A Discursive Analysis of Political, Social and Cultural Deprivations

ABSTRACT This article asks why the post‐2003 settlement in Iraq has not closed the identity question for the Feyli (Faili) Kurds, a community that was denationalized under the Ba'thist state and now lives across an ambiguous line between the Kurdistan Region and the federal centr...

An integrated diagnosis of agricultural groundwater over-abstraction in a Lake Urmia tributary catchment

Groundwater over-abstraction in agricultural catchments is not only a hydrological decline problem; it is also a management problem shaped by crops, wells, incentives and institutional capacity. This study develops an integrated diagnosis for the Siminehrood catchment, a major ag...

Smart Parking Systems: A Review of Optimization Techniques and Technological Advances

ABSTRACT In heavily populated, traffic‐heavy cities, smart parking systems (SPS) are recognized as an efficient way to manage parking spots. The optimization methods and technological developments in the area of smart parking systems are examined in this review study. The essay b...

Psychological barriers and pedagogical implications of artificial intelligence-induced anxiety among English lecturers in higher education

The growing integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education has provided new pedagogical opportunities while also raising psychological concerns among university lecturers. This study explored Artificial Intelligence-Induced Anxiety (AIA) among Irania...

In vitro oocyte maturation is associated with altered OCT4 promoter methylation, DNMT expression, and early embryonic development in transgenic mouse embryos

Objective: In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) is widely used in assisted reproductive technologies; however, its potential effects on epigenetic regulation and embryonic development remain incompletely understood. In this study, we compared the developmental competence and epigenet...

Exploring the association between environmental exposure to phthalates and bisphenol A and changes in reproductive hormones in women: a cross-sectional study

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can harm the female reproductive system by disrupting hormonal balance. This study investigates the association between exposure to EDCs)- specifically, phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), and serum concentrations of estrogen (ES) and progester...

Beyond velocity: a causal quality- and security-sensitive schedule performance index for AI-assisted software projects

Traditional schedule performance index (SPI) measures can misrepresent software project status when accelerated visible delivery hides deferred quality assurance, technical-debt remediation, and security-hardening work. This study proposes the causal quality- and security-sensiti...

Modulatory effects of branched-chain amino acid supplementation on neuroendocrine disturbances following traumatic brain injury in rats

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently accompanied by neuroendocrine disturbances involving the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis and vitamin D–calcium–phosphorus homeostasis. Despite increasing interest in nutritional strategies after TBI, the effects of branched-cha...

Drought-induced physiological, biochemical, phytochemical, and yield-related trait variations among populations of Satureja rechingeri Jamzad

Satureja rechingeri Jamzad, an endemic aromatic species of Iran with high essential oil and phenolic potential, is of considerable pharmaceutical and ecological importance; however, its physiological and biochemical adaptations in response to drought stress across different popul...

Hepatic steatosis assessed by transient elastography in patients with significant coronary artery disease: a cross-sectional study

While metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share metabolic risk factors, it remains unclear whether the anatomical severity of CAD predicts the severity of hepatic steatosis or fibrosis. This study aimed to estimate MA...

Development a novel in silico mRNA vaccine against Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile , a toxin-producing bacterium, can lead to conditions ranging from mild diarrhea to severe pseudomembranous colitis. Our research introduces an innovative strategy for developing a multi-epitope mRNA vaccine using in-silico methods targeting proteins involve...

Effect of Heating Tube Configuration on Hydrogen Production via Propane Steam Reforming: A Numerical Study

The hydrogen energy has received considerable attention in recent years due to escalating global concerns over climate change. Hydrogen production relies mainly on steam reforming, an endothermic process that requires external heat. Because of this, the rate of heat transfer with...
