Effect of part-load operation and high-pressure in condenser on the pressure fluctuation frequency of the steam turbine to analyze L-2 blade failure

Steam turbines are indispensable in large-scale power generation due to their high efficiency and long service life. However, the low-pressure stages are particularly prone to flow-induced vibrations under off-design conditions. In a 315 MW steam turbine operating at a thermal po...

Protodioscin mitigates cyclophosphamide-induced renal toxicity in HEK-293 cells by regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress, antioxidant defense, and apoptotic pathways

Cyclophosphamide (CTX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent with well-established efficacy; however, its clinical use is limited by dose-dependent adverse effects, particularly nephrotoxicity. Protodioscin (Prot), a bioactive saponin derived from plants of the Dioscoreaceae fa...

Transient Wave Propagation in Double–Porosity Spherical Cavities: A Spatiotemporal Nonlocal Elasticity Framework with Klein–Gordon Operator

This study introduces a novel Klein–Gordon-type spatiotemporal nonlocal elasticity framework to investigate transient wave propagation in spherical cavities characterized by double porosity. Unlike classical nonlocal models that rely solely on spatial parameters, this work innova...

Integrated Hydrogeochemical Characterization, Drinking Water Quality Assessment, and Spatial Analysis of Groundwater Using GIS and Multivariate Statistics: A Case Study of Fars Province, Iran

Groundwater quality in semi-arid regions is influenced by interacting geological, climatic, and human factors. This study integrated hydrochemical analysis, ionic relationships, multivariate statistics, Water Quality Index (WQI), and GIS-based spatial analysis to evaluate groundw...

Natural does not always mean safe: first molecular detection of Cryptosporidium and Acanthamoeba in Iranian spring waters

Abstract Many people perceive spring water as a healthy alternative to tap water. However, unlike treated tap water, which undergoes rigorous filtration and disinfection, untreated or inadequately treated spring water may pose a higher risk of waterborne infections. Here, we anal...

Molecular detection and phylogenetic characterization of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and the first evidence of Anaplasma platys in dogs from Iran: epidemiological and hematological findings

Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma platys are tick-borne pathogens of dogs, with zoonotic and veterinary importance. Data on their prevalence and hematological effects in Iran are scarce, and A. platys has not been molecularly reported in dogs in the country. This study inve...

Advancing farm machinery safety: a review of injury risks, mitigation strategies, and technological innovations

Farm machinery significantly enhances agricultural productivity but remains a leading source of occupational injuries, particularly in resource-limited settings. This comprehensive review synthesises the primary human-, equipment-, environmental-, and weather-related causes of su...

Circular RNAs as regulators of epithelial‑mesenchymal transition in gliomas from molecular mechanisms to clinical applications

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental biological process that drives glioma invasion, therapeutic resistance, and malignant progression. Recent evidence highlights circular RNAs (circRNAs) as pivotal post-transcriptional regulators that orchestrate EMT through...

Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Glycosidases for Enzyme-Converted Group O (ECO) Blood, Rhesus Antigen Remodeling, and Solid Organ Transplantation: A Hypothesis on Carbohydrate Conjugation Mediated pH Adaptation

Hypotheses related to the production of universal blood.

Modulatory effects of branched-chain amino acid supplementation on neuroendocrine disturbances following traumatic brain injury in rats

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently accompanied by neuroendocrine disturbances involving the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis and vitamin D–calcium–phosphorus homeostasis. Despite increasing interest in nutritional strategies after TBI, the effects of branched-cha...
