Interaction behavior and solvation effects of aliphatic amino acids (glycine and L-alanine) in synthesized cholinium butanoate ionic liquid

Ionic liquids are promising sustainable alternatives to conventional chemicals and solvents for green products and chemical and biochemical applications. In this investigation, a choline-based ionic liquid, cholinium butanoate ([Chl][But]), was synthesized and subsequently employ...

Syndromic multiplex PCR in meningitis and meningoencephalitis: epidemiological patterns and etiological spectrum in 2645 moroccan suspected cases

Meningitis and meningoencephalitis are life-threatening neurological emergencies associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Rapid etiological diagnosis is essential for their optimal management. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological profile and spectrum of mi...

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding dietary supplements among athletes in Morocco: a national cross-sectional exploratory study

Abstract Dietary supplement (DS) use is widespread in sports but raises important health and ethical concerns, particularly the risk of unintentional doping. In Morocco, data on this topic remain scarce. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of...

Deciphering the genomic signatures of climate vulnerability across 77 sheep breeds

Abstract Among domesticated species, sheep ( Ovis aries ) have achieved a wide geographic distribution due to their mobility, rusticity and ability to adapt to diverse environments and climatic conditions. Here, we characterise the genome-wide diversity of >1,000 sheep representi...

Thermal monitoring of solidification in molded casting of drone landing leg

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and thermal characterization of an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) mold produced by fused deposition modeling (FDM) extrusion-based additive manufacturing used for the wax casting of a drone landing leg. A thermal monitoring fram...

A low-energy multiwell genus principle below a concentration–compactness threshold

We establish a windowed symmetric minimax principle for even C 1 functionals on real, separable, reflexive Banach spaces when Palais–Smale compactness is available at levels in ( 0 , Λ ⁎ ) . Using the Krasnosel'skii genus together with Benci's pseudo-index, we localize the comple...

Integrative computational repositioning of Foretinib and PF-03715455 as potential GSTP1 inhibitors for cancer chemosensitization

Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) plays a key role in tumor progression and drug detoxification, making it a promising target for reversing chemoresistance in cancer cells. Although several GSTP1 inhibitors have been identified, none have progressed to clinical use, mainly bec...

Global Sensitivity of Constraint Analysis method: Drag coefficient and Stall Speed selection for Small UAVs

The Constraint analysis method is applied in the early stages of aircraft conceptual design for determining preliminary sizing parameters such as wing loading and power loading. However, its application to small UAVs is challenged by uncertainties in several key input parameters,...

Thermal reversing and non-reversing flows in zero-mean time-modulated Rayleigh–Bénard convection

Abstract Inspired by the occurrence of reversing and non-reversing flows in time-modulated Taylor–Couette flow, the presence of these flows in time-modulated Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection systems remains intriguing, especially in light of similarities between these flow configu...

Chemical, mineralogical, and optical characterization of a Nepheline-Combeite bioceramic based on coal gangue and limestone dust

Nepheline (NaAlSiO₄) and Combeite (Na₂Ca₂Si₃O₉) are silicates belonging to the alkaline silicate ceramic family, recognized for their remarkable structural and functional properties. The development of composites integrating these both phases makes it possible to combine the stru...

Bacterial adaptation to essential oils and their main compounds in food systems: mechanisms related to antibacterial resistance

Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of volatile metabolites with strong biological properties. Their multi-target mechanisms confer rapid bactericidal activity, lowering the likelihood of resistance development compared to antibiotics. This review examines bacterial respons...

A lightweight interactive platform for stepwise formative assessment in algebra from single variable equations to matrix form linear systems in inclusive classrooms

Many digital mathematics tools validate only final answers, whereas teachers often need students to produce specific intermediate forms and to receive immediate guidance on where a transformation went wrong. This need is particularly important in inclusive classrooms, where low-s...

S-AI-Reasoning: Reasoning as Regulated Canonicalization

Artificial reasoning systems are often evaluated by final-answer accuracy, although accuracy alone does not establish whether an internal trajectory has stabilized, uncertainty has been reduced, a candidate is formally admissible, or commitment is justified. This article generali...

Tolerance-aware robust ranking of ventricular assist device rotor designs using strict feasibility and percentile-based criteria

Manufacturing variability can alter the hydraulic and hemocompatibility performance of a ventricular assist device (VAD) rotor even when the nominal design is computationally optimal. This study presents a surrogate-assisted robust-design workflow for a rotary VAD using a CFD-der...

Dynamic computed tomography in the diagnosis of two mediastinal hemangiomas

Mediastinal hemangioma is a rare benign vascular lesion representing less than 0.5% of mediastinal masses and remains a diagnostic challenge because of its non-specific clinical and radiological presentation. We report two cases of mediastinal hemangioma in which dynamic contrast...

A finite element method for analyzing the free vibration of tapered functionally graded porous (FGMP) arches with point masses

This study examines the linear free vibration of a linearly tapered circular arch made of functionally graded porous material and carrying a concentrated mass at an arbitrary curvilinear location. Both uniform and non-uniform through-thickness porosity distributions are considere...

Communication-Aware Dynamic Split Federated Learning: Joint Client Selection and Split-Point Scheduling via a Categorical Genetic Algorithm

Split federated learning divides a neural network between resource-constrained clients and a server. This reduces client-side computation, but every minibatch can require an exchange of intermediate features, called smashed data, and cut-layer gradients. Dynamic Split Federated L...

Combined effects of thermal processing and spice bioactive compounds on the reduction of aflatoxins in paprika

Aflatoxins are potent mycotoxins frequently detected in paprika, posing significant food safety concerns. This study evaluated the effect of a Moroccan spice blend combined with thermal processing on aflatoxin reduction in naturally contaminated sweet paprika. The spice blend, co...

S-AI-RLM: A Recursive Logic Machine

S-AI-RLM introduces a Recursive Logic Machine within the Sparse Artificial Intelligence paradigm to address a central limitation of contemporary probabilistic reasoning systems: strong empirical performance does not by itself provide guarantees of termination, logical correctness...
