Milk Yield, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and Rumen Fermentation in Barki Ewes, and the Performance of Their Offspring in Response to Increasing Dietary Protein Levels

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of increasing dietary crude protein (CP) levels on milk yield, nutrient utilization, nitrogen use efficiency, rumen fermentation, and lamb growth in lactating Barki ewes. Twenty‐one multiparous ewes (mean body weight (BW) of 40.5 ± 0.4...

From Answer Production to Defensible Engineering Judgment in AI-Containing Systems: The iSCARB Framework and a Nine-Chapter Software Engineering Implementation

Generative AI makes fluent artifact production inexpensive, weakening assessment validity when a submitted answer is treated as sufficient evidence of student capability. At the same time, software engineers increasingly build systems in which learned components sit inside larger...

Holistically benchmarked optimization-assisted green spectrophotometric–chemometric approach for simultaneous determination of piroxicam and venlafaxine in pharmaceutical formulations and spiked human plasma

The recent clinical introduction of the piroxicam (PIR) and venlafaxine hydrochloride (VEN) combination has highlighted the need for analytical methodologies capable of simultaneously quantifying both drugs while minimizing the environmental burden of routine pharmaceutical analy...

Cotton leaf disease classification using deep learning models for smart agriculture

Agriculture is a leading economical sector that contributes significantly to the livelihoods and the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan. With cotton as a key crop, its production must be sustainable, and this becomes a challenge posed by environmental changes, pest in...

Allocate optimal locations for EVCSs in major saudi cities using GIS-based AHP approach

Reducing the usage of fossil fuels is a widely acknowledged concern because of their diminishing supply and the negative environmental effects of transportation. Thus, electrical energy will surely come first when considering alternative energy sources. However, to achieve that p...

Divergence measures for T-spherical fuzzy sets with applications to multi-criteria decision making and pattern classification

T-spherical fuzzy sets are a powerful extension of fuzzy, intuitionistic, and picture fuzzy frameworks, providing greater flexibility in modeling uncertainty through three independent membership degrees: positive, neutral, and negative. Despite their growing applications in decis...

Technological and analytical advancements in liquid biopsy for multiomic profiling of lymphomas and immunopathological conditions

This is a review of up to date technological and analytical innovations in liquid biopsy to lymphomas, and its role in multi-omics-based disease characterisation, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, minimal residual disease (MRD) detection and how it can be used to support personalised...

Characteristics and dietary practices among adults with experience following a ketogenic diet in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study

The ketogenic diet (KD) has gained substantial popularity worldwide, particularly as a strategy for weight loss and metabolic health. Although previous studies have examined public knowledge and perceptions of the KD, little is known about the knowledge, dietary practices, and ad...

Explainable Spatio-Temporal Attention Framework for GAN-Based Deepfake Detection

The rapid growth of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has made synthetic media incredibly realistic and led to the emergence of deepfakes that can harm cybersecurity, trust in the digital world, and information integrity. The current state of the art in deepfake detection fa...

Thermal analysis and CFD-assisted machine learning prediction of temperature fields in direct-contact membrane distillation using darts game optimization

Abstract In this study, three regression techniques—multi-layer perceptron (MLP), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and weighted least squares (WLS)—were evaluated to predict the spatial temperature distribution, $$\:T$$ (K), obtained from CFD analysis of a direct-contact membra...

Potentially inappropriate medication use and selected drug-related problems among older adults in Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia: a retrospective multicenter study
