Pleural Empyema Caused by Streptococcus Constellatus in an Immunocompetent Young Adult: A Case Report

Objective: Members of the Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) are associated with deep-seated and purulent infections. Pleural empyema caused by Streptococcus constellatus is rare and is more commonly reported in immunocompromised individuals. This report describes a case of S. c...

Integrated Approach to Paleontological and Geochemical Data of the Upper Campanian–Maastrichtian Harami Formation (Elazığ, Eastern Türkiye)

The aim of this study is to determine the age and depositional environment of the Harami Formation through an integrated interpretation of XRF, ICP-MS, SEM-EDS, stable isotope, and radioactive isotope analysis results and findings of larger benthic foraminifera. Findings from the...

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...

Crosslinked Chitosan/quarry waste composite beads for adsorption of Reactive Blue dyes

The present study aimed to evaluate quarry waste (QW), an industrial by-product rich in silicate and aluminate phases, as a reinforcing filler in a chitosan matrix, and to develop crosslinked chitosan/quarry waste (CS/QW) composite beads for the removal of Reactive Blue 49 (RB 49...

From retail transactions to enterprise knowledge: brand-level association rules via FP-Growth algorithm

Purpose This study aims to examine brand-level co-occurrence structures in retail transaction data using the FP-Growth algorithm. It explores how validated association-rule outputs may support enterprise decision-making by serving as interpretable decision-support artefacts withi...
