Investigation of Parity Violation in Neutron Resonances: A Comparative Kinematic and Resonance Approach

Abstract : Parity violation in neutron resonances is regarded as one of the most sensitive manifestations of weak-interaction effects in complex nuclear systems. Although the weak nucleon–nucleon interaction is significantly weaker than the strong interaction, parity-violating ob...

A narrative review of Zika virus cardiotropism and atrial fibrillation from pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges to inflammation aware management

Systemic inflammation is a key driver of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the mechanisms linking specific viral triggers to arrhythmogenesis are not fully understood. Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, which can induce a significant inflammatory response, provides a compelling clinical mo...

Blood pressure and renal outcomes after renal denervation in patients with chronic kidney disease

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of renal denervation (RDN) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis and resistant hypertension. Methods: A comprehe...

Comparative Analysis of Electron Emission Mechanisms and Evaluation of a Suitable Method for Practical Electron Sources

Abstract : Electron emission is a fundamental process in electron sources used in scientific, medical, and industrial applications. This study aimed to comparatively evaluate major electron emission mechanisms and identify their suitability for practical electron sources based on...

Role of Fast Neutrons in Minor Actinide Transmutation and Long-Lived Radioactive Waste Reduction in Lead Cooled Fast Reactor: A Systematic Review

Abstract : The long-term sustainability of nuclear energy relies on the safe management of minor actinides (MAs) and long-lived fission products (LLFPs). The present work aims at systematically evaluating the role of the fast neutron spectrum in the nuclear transmutation of these...

Soybean Growth and Yield Response to Fertilizers: A Comparative Review of Organic and Inorganic Inputs under Kabul Semi‑Arid Conditions

Abstract : Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a globally important crop valued for its high protein and oil content, yet its productivity in Afghanistan remains constrained by poor soil fertility and reliance on chemical fertilizers. This review article synthesizes experimental evidence...

Effects of Different Amount of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) Fertilizer on Growth and Yield of Common Bean

Abstract : This study evaluated the effects of different rates of diammonium phosphate fertilizer on the growth, yield, and yield components of common bean under field conditions at the Faculty of Agriculture Research Farm, Kabul University, during the 2025 growing season. The ex...

Soybean Growth and Yield Response to Fertilizers: A Comparative Review of Organic and Inorganic Inputs under Kabul Semi‑Arid Conditions

Abstract : Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a globally important crop valued for its high protein and oil content, yet its productivity in Afghanistan remains constrained by poor soil fertility and reliance on chemical fertilizers. This review article synthesizes experimental evidence...

Effects of Irrigation Intervals on the Growth and Yield of Flax under Kabul Climate Conditions

Abstract : Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important oilseed and fiber crop with significant economic value. Efficient irrigation management is essential for improving crop productivity under the semi-arid conditions of Kabul, where water resources are limited. However, infor...

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia mimicking adult-onset Still’s disease in a pregnant female: A rare case report

Introduction: Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is an uncommon hematologic malignancy characterized by the coexistence of lymphoid and myeloid lineage markers. Although adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a diagnosis of exclusion, MPAL may rarely present with similar labora...

Knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding testicular cancer and testicular self-examination among medical students in Afghanistan

Testicular cancer (TC) is a rare but curable malignancy that commonly affects men aged 15–45. Early diagnosis significantly increases the chance of survival, with five-year survival rates exceeding 95% in early stages. Testicular self-examination (TSE) is a simple and cost-effect...

Experimental and thermal performance evaluation of a PCM-enhanced solar water heater with a spiral coil heat exchanger

Latent heat thermal energy storage is an effective approach for enhancing the performance of solar water heating (SWH) systems by storing surplus thermal energy and delivering it during periods of low solar availability. In this study, the thermal performance of a solar water hea...
