Textile-Based Band-Stop FSS Design for X-Band Applications

This paper reports the practical implementation and planar experimental characterization of a cross-shaped band-stop frequency selective surface (FSS) on denim for X-band filtering. The contribution comprises a proof-of-concept prototype using low-cost self-adhesive copper foil,...

Predicting the impacts of occupational accidents on the construction sites using machine learning algorithms

Purpose This study aims to develop a machine learning–based framework to predict the retrospectively assessed multidimensional impacts of workplace accidents in the construction industry. Unlike traditional research that primarily focuses on injury severity or fatality outcomes,...

The Role of Simulation Technology in Enhancing Port Crane Operator Competence and Safety

Global maritime trade increasingly depends on efficient and safe port operations, where crane operators play a vital role in container handling. Although traditional training methods are effective, they require considerable time and may involve operational risks. Simulation-based...

Mid-Term Outcomes of the Ozaki Procedure: A Single-Center Experience

BACKGROUND: To assess the midterm clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of the Ozaki (aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo)) procedure performed at a single center. METHODS: A total of 258 patients who underwent the AVNeo procedure between February 2019 and February 2025 were r...

Determining mothers’ exposure to intimate partner violence, levels of hopelessness, intolerance of uncertainty, and their attitudes toward child violence in earthquake zones in Türkiye

This study aims to investigate the mothers’ exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), their levels of hopelessness, intolerance of uncertainty, and attitudes toward violence against children in 11 earthquake-affected provinces in Türkiye. An explanatory sequential mixed-method...

Prognostic Value of MRI‐Derived Apparent Diffusion Coefficient in Intermediate‐Risk Prostate Cancer Treated With Definitive Radiotherapy

ABSTRACT Background Intermediate‐risk prostate cancer (IR‐PCa) is a heterogeneous disease with variable clinical outcomes despite established risk classification. We evaluated whether pretreatment tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) derived from multiparametric MRI was ass...

Dielectric and microwave properties of Cr 2 O 3 -doped aramid/glass fiber hybrid composites

In this study, the electromagnetic properties of neat and 5 wt.% Cr 2 O 3 -doped aramid/glass fiber hybrid epoxy composites were investigated in the 1–20 GHz frequency range for radome and microwave shielding applications. The complex permittivity, reflection ( S 11 ), and transm...

CASCADE reproduction artifacts: per-sample decision records, evaluation corpus and analysis scripts

Reproduction artifacts for the CASCADE study of a layered local defense for MCP-based systems. Contains per-sample decision records for all three evaluated configurations (5,000 records each), the frozen evaluation corpus, the intermediate collection bundle documenting external p...

Comparison of Cardiometabolic Profiles in Patients with Nonfunctioning Adrenal Incidentalomas and Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion

Objective: To compare the cardiometabolic characteristics of patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) and nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas (NFAI), with particular emphasis on their biochemical and echocardiographic profiles. Methods: This retrospective study i...

Development and Validation of an IoF-Based Sensing Architecture for Microclimate Monitoring: Quantifying Spatial ET0 Bias in Mediterranean Viticulture

This study presents and validates a modular Internet of Farming (IoF) sensing architecture designed for high-fidelity microclimate monitoring to address the spatial biases in reference evapotranspiration (ET0) estimation for precision viticulture. Deployed in a Mediterranean vine...
