Comparative experimental and numerical investigation of engine-lubricant performance in hydrogen- and gasoline-fueled PFI SI engines

Hydrogen-fueled spark-ignition (SI) engines offer wide flammability limits, fast flame propagation, and carbon-free exhaust products, making them a promising route toward low-carbon transportation. However, their fast heat-release rates and elevated in-cylinder temperatures pose...

P1.246. Evaluating Robot-Assisted Oesophagectomy Adoption: A Comparative Single-Centre Analysis of Outcomes and Costs

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – technique Background Minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIE) is widely used for oesophageal cancer, reducing tissue trauma while maintaining oncological outcomes. Robot-assisted MIE (RAMIE) offers enhance...

Preparation of chalcone modified polyHIPE for removal of aluminium ions from water

Abstract Aluminium contamination in aquatic environments is an increasing concern because elevated Al³⁺ levels in water resources may pose environmental and human health risks. Therefore, this study addresses the need for cost-effective, chemically tunable and efficient adsorbent...

Recent Advances and Open Challenges in Mitigating Inference-Time Attacks on Large Language Models

The rapid integration of Large Language Models into high-stakes domains has elevated inference-time attacks into a primary security concern for production deployments. These attacks are adversarial techniques that exploit models exclusively through their input–output interface. T...

Dynamic drivers of an extreme heatwave over the UK in July 2022

Abstract Slow‑moving synoptic structures have been hypothesized to be a part of severe heatwave events over extended continental regions in summer, highlighting the potential impacts of the growing climate emergency associated with rising background temperatures. In this context,...

Supramolecular Macrocycle–Quantum Dot Interfaces for Molecular Sensing and Bioimaging

Abstract Quantum dots (QDs) provide bright optical, electrochemiluminescent, and electrochemical readouts for molecular sensing and bioimaging, but by themselves they do not provide selectivity, matrix tolerance, or a reliable mechanistic assignment. Supramolecular macrocycles ca...

Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Structures Resting on Soil Classes C and D under Repeated Earthquakes

This paper presents a thorough study of inelastic displacement ratios (IDR) of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems under repeated earthquake loading by accounting for soil–structure interaction (SSI) and system’s degradation. Even though, there have been much research on impa...

A Game-Based Eye-Tracking Task for Inclusive Educational Assessment in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Dyslexia: An Exploratory Study

Background: Inclusive educational assessment requires tools that capture how learners with diverse cognitive profiles engage with tasks. This study examines whether a game-based, gaze-contingent eye-tracking task can generate relevant indicators for inclusive assessment of autist...

Modeling the combined effects of the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake and an Atmospheric River event on landslide hazard

Abstract. The 6 February 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake doublet triggered thousands of coseismic landslides. On 14–15 March, an Atmospheric River (AR) delivered up to 183 mm of rainfall across the seismically weakened region, triggering hundreds of additional landslides and debris...

Amantadine, donepezil and memantine associated arrhythmia in an elderly patient

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>2.1 Case İnformation</bold> A 78 years old man was referred to the cardiology clinic because of mild dyspnea.Electrocardiography (ECG) showed sinus bradycardia at a rate of 59 beats/min, right bundlebranch block (RBBB), first-degree AV block, and nor...

A cluster-aware XAI-MCDM framework for province-level solar PV suitability screening in Turkey using real operational PV data

Abstract Identifying suitable regions for solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment is commonly addressed through GIS- and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)-based frameworks; however, criterion weights in such studies are often derived from expert judgement or purely statistical ass...

The impact of Socratic method on middle school students achievement in non-routine problem solving and their attitudes toward mathematical problem solving

Non-routine problems play a significant role in mathematics learning due to their potential to foster students’ reasoning, inquiry, and critical thinking skills. Students, however, often experience difficulties in solving these problems and may experience negative attitudes towar...

PET Micro/Nanoplastic–Tetracycline Co-Exposure in Defibrinated Blood: Exploratory Spectroscopic, Redox, and Escherichia coli Responses

Previous studies have indicated that polyethylene terephthalate (PET) micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) may coexist with antibiotics in environmental and biological matrices; however, their combined behavior in blood remains insufficiently characterized. This study examined PET MNPs prep...

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Neurodegeneration and Viral Infection: A Multi-Method Validation Framework

AbstractParkinson's disease and influenza virus infection present with entirely different clinical pictures, yet both have been linked to shared inflammatory and neuroimmune mechanisms, an interest dating back to post-encephalitic parkinsonism following the 1918 influenza pandemi...

In Situ Effects of 4,6-α- and 4,3-α-Glucanotransferases During Sourdough Fermentation: Assessing Microbial Community Dynamics, Bread Glycemic Index, Staling, and Texture

Although some lactic acid bacteria species harbor genes encoding α-glucanotransferases (4,6-α-GTase and 4,3-α-GTase), the technological and functional implications of these enzymes within sourdough ecosystems remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects associate...

Greater Mediterranean Diet Adherence Is Associated with Lower Odds of Chronic Migraine: A Retrospective Observational Study

Background: Dietary factors may influence migraine burden, but the relationship between Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence and migraine chronicity remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether higher MD adherence is associated with a less severe migraine phenotype, part...

Determination of main components by capillary electrophoresis and antioxidant activities in anatolian royal jellies: discrimination by principal component analysis

Royal jelly (RJ), a secretion of worker honey bees, is a nutritionally valuable bee product known for its bioactive properties. Different regions offer distinct floral sources that bees feed on, resulting in a unique composition of the RJ they produce. Moreover, certain component...

Evaluating the psychosocial benefits of mindfulness-based art therapy for breast cancer patients: a preliminary study

Abstract This preliminary study evaluates the psychosocial benefits of mindfulness-based art therapy (MAT) for breast cancer patients. A quasi-experimental design was used with 14 participants in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The experimental group attended...
