Pogostone as a bioactive natural compound with potential relevance for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food preservation: a review

Pogostone, a characteristic secondary metabolite of Pogostemon cablin , has recently gained attention due to its diverse biological activities and potential relevance as a bioactive compound for functional food development. This review summarizes current knowledge on the origin,...

Breast cancer diagnosis using a new evolutionary forest approach

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and early, accurate diagnosis is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on manual feature selection, which can be biased and suboptimal, especially in...

Building Information Modeling for Sustainable Bio-Based Materials in Construction: A Literature Review

The construction industry is increasingly pressured to reduce its environmental footprint through the adoption of sustainable materials and digital innovation. This literature review examines the convergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and related digital technologies...

Optimal fault-tolerant pitch angle control of wind turbines using PSO and Kalman filter

Reliable fault detection and safe operation are critical requirements for efficient wind turbine control. This paper proposes an active fault-tolerant pitch control strategy for variable-speed wind turbines, modeled as a two-mass drivetrain system, that combines a Particle Swarm...

Predictive value of epithelial lesion heterogeneity in the etiological diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract Introduction : Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by chronic, intermittent, and continuous inflammation of a part of the digestive tract, with an increased risk of dysplasia and colorectal cancer (CRC). They typically include Crohn's disease (CD)...

From soil disruption to biodegradation: A comprehensive review of microplastic effects and microbial breakdown mechanisms in terrestrial ecosystems

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive in the environment, posing a significant global environmental challenge. Agricultural ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to MP contamination due to the extensive use of plastics in farming practices. This issue is further aggravated...

Macro-level predictors and temporal persistence of global mental health burden: a machine-learning panel study, 1990–2023

Mental disorders contribute substantially to global disability and economic burden, yet relatively little is known about how macro-level national indicators relate to cross-country differences in mental health burden. We constructed a country–year panel for 183 countries from 199...

Adsorptive removal of crystal violet using chemically activated biowaste: Molecular insights from DFT and molecular dynamics simulations and experimental assessment

In this study, we explore the removal of crystal violet (CV), a cationic organic dye, by adsorption utilizing a biomass-derived material made from date pits, which provides a novel class of cost-effective and efficient adsorbents for CV removal. The synthesized material's structu...

GraphRAG-ADR: a knowledge graph–enhanced approach for extracting Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) from patient narratives

Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) extraction from patient narratives is a challenging problem due to informal language, high lexical variability, and the gap between colloquial expressions and standardized medical terminology. Although large language models (LLMs) have improved extract...

Log-transformed Red-Tailed Hawk optimization for single-diode photovoltaic parameter extraction

Accurate extraction of the five parameters of the single-diode photovoltaic equivalent-circuit model is hampered by the nine-orders-of-magnitude dynamic range of the diode saturation current I 0 , which can cause gradient-free optimisers to converge to degenerate solutions when I...

Energy efficiency of miscanthus insulation for building walls in various world climates

The building sector is a major contributor to global energy consumption, highlighting the need for efficient and sustainable insulation materials. This study investigates the thermal and energy performance of miscanthus-based bio-sourced insulation applied to exterior building wa...

Performance of selected North African barley genotypes based on agro-morphological and physiological traits under field conditions in Morocco

As climate change accelerates, the impact on barley production, particularly in water-limited regions, is becoming more pronounced. This study assesses the physiological and agronomic responses of nine barley genotypes from Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia under rainfed conditions acr...

Semantically conditioned hyperchaotic encryption for medical images: U-Net and SHA-256 key binding against chosen plaintext attacks

Abstract Existing hyperchaotic medical image encryption schemes derive all chaotic initial conditions solely from statistical features of deep-learning-segmented anatomical regions, creating a structural chosen-plaintext-attack (CPA) vulnerability: images with similar segmentatio...

Relation-Consistency Group Contrastive Learning for Robust Multispectral Remote Sensing Classification

Multispectral remote sensing classification benefits from the complementary information carried by visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) Sentinel-2 bands, yet most deep models process them as a single stacked tensor without explicitly preserving their...
