Antioxidant, Structural and Technofunctional Profiling of Seed-Free Sea Buckthorn Pomace Dry Fractionated by Grinding–Sieving

Sea buckthorn pomace, generated as a by-product of juice processing, has potential for valorisation as a functional food ingredient. This study investigated whether dry fractionation by grinding and controlled sieving of seed-free sea buckthorn pomace (SBP) can generate granulome...

Color Alleviation in Hybrid Electrospun‐Electrosprayed Magnetic Paper

ABSTRACT Chromatic alleviation on magnetic paper is achieved through the sequential application of electrospinning and electrospraying techniques. By embedding the brown‐colored oleic acid‐coated superparamagnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) within polyethylene oxide/poly(L‐lact...

Investment Timing and Electricity Decarbonization in Romania Under Stylized Emissions Constraints

This study compares long term generation/investment patterns in a simplified representation of Romania’s electricity sector between 2025 and 2050. A deterministic OSeMOSYS/MUIO model is used to examine a reference emissions ceiling, a terminal zero emissions target and an acceler...

Optimal Curvature Inequalities for Partially Slant Submanifolds in Complex Space Forms

ABSTRACT The class of partially slant submanifolds was introduced recently by Yerlikaya, Poyraz, and Şahin [Mediterr. J. Math. 22 (2025), 78] as a unifying framework for several important slant‐type geometries. In this paper, we establish sharp ‐Casorati inequalities for partiall...

Anxiety and Depression in Cervical Cancer Patients in Relation to Nutritional Status and Oxidative Stress

Cervical cancer remains a major global health concern, causing substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Beyond its physical burden, patients frequently experience significant psychological distress, including anxiety and depression, w...

In Vitro and In Silico Evaluation of the Antitumor Potential of New Benzotriazole–1,2,4-Triazole Hybrids

Background/Objectives: One of the major problems facing the medical world is cancer, which causes millions of deaths each year. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles appear to offer a potential solution to this problem. Thus, the present study aimed to synthesize and characterize—both...

Experimental and Numerical Study of Flame Propagation of Biofuels/Oxidizers/Inert Mixtures

The increasing demand for sustainable energy resources and the need to reduce the environmental impact associated with fossil fuel utilization have intensified research into alternative fuels for energy conversion and transportation applications [...]

An anthropological study and model of cremation in the barrows of the Late Hallstatt necropolis at Bârsești (Romania)

Abstract This article discusses the barrow necropolis of the Late Hallstatt period at Bârsești, where numerous burial mounds have been researched. The resumption of excavations has brought new life to this archaeological site, including the bioarchaeological study of the remains...

The WoKaS-Iso database: workflow for a global compilation of oxygen-18 and deuterium records in karst springs and cave drip water for enhanced understanding of karst systems

For analysing karst hydrogeological systems, observations of karst springs and cave drips are considered indispensable. In addition to hydrometric observations, knowing the oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios has improved the understanding of vadose zone and aquifer dynamic...

F-Convexity of Real Functions

Let F be a family of sets in Rd. A set M⊂Rd is called F-convex if for any points x,y∈M there is a set F∈F such that x,y∈F and F⊂M. A function f:R→R is called F-convex if its epigraph is F-convex. In this paper we investigate various F-convexities for real functions

Organizational Risk Management Under Global Uncertainty: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach to Economic Security and Resilience

Recent financial crises, heightened geopolitical instability, sustained financial volatility, and broader global uncertainty have increased the exposure of private sector organizations to emerging and interconnected economic risks. In this context, systematic and sustainable appr...

On the maximum likelihood degree of Gaussian graphical models

Abstract In this paper we revisit the likelihood geometry of Gaussian graphical models. We give a detailed proof that the ML‐degree behaves monotonically on induced subgraphs. Furthermore, we complete a missing argument that the ML‐degree of the cycle is larger than 1 for any , t...

Pedogenic controls on organic carbon accumulation in Phaeozem and Histosol profiles of the Ciuc intramontane depression, Eastern Carpathians, Romania

Abstract Intramontane depressions of the Eastern Carpathians host soils with substantial organic carbon enrichment, yet profile-based documentation of the pedogenic mechanisms involved remains limited. This study presents two contrasting soil profiles from the Ciuc intramontane d...

A complete time–temperature–transformation diagram of the RTM6 epoxy resin used for aerospace applications: integrating cure kinetics, thermal degradation and curing-induced overheating

Abstract RTM6 is a monocomponent epoxy resin widely used in the aerospace industry, where it is processed by resin transfer molding and related liquid-composite-molding routes. Its time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagram maps, as a function of cure temperature and time, the...

Malignancies in horseshoe kidneys: an updated review

Out of over 4000 available studies about horseshoe kidney (HSK), we selected 89 representative articles that emphasized the most common genetic lesions and tumors that can occur in these patients. Renal cell carcinomas, carcinomas of the urothelial tract, and Wilms tumor are the...

The Characteristic Group of Lie LCP Manifolds

Abstract The (reduced) characteristic group of a locally conformally product manifold is obtained by restricting the action of its fundamental group to the non-flat factor of the universal cover, and taking the connected component of the identity in the closure of this restrictio...

Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Orthopedic Practice: Modeling Attitudes and Intentions to Use AI

Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in medicine, particularly in orthopedics, to support medical image interpretation, diagnosis, clinical decision-making, and treatment selection. Its integration into clinical practice depends largely on doctors’...

Responsible Clinical AI in Dentistry: Trust, Professional Autonomy, and Perceptions of Accountability Across Stakeholders in Romania—A Multidisciplinary Cross-Sectional Survey

Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering clinical dentistry more quickly than the professional, ethical, and regulatory frameworks intended to govern it. Responsible implementation depends not only on diagnostic performance but on trust, professional autono...

From Stable Traits to Dynamic Mechanisms: An Integrative Conceptual Model of Personality and Criminogenic Cognitions in the Incarcerated Population

Criminal behavior has been explained through multiple theoretical frameworks developed independently, including general personality models (FPI, Big Five, HEXACO), maladaptive configurations (Dark Triad/Tetrad, psychopathy), and criminogenic cognitions. However, integrated analys...
