Performance of a rotating-anode electrocoagulation reactor for turbidity and hardness removal from high-salinity lake water

ABSTRACT An electrocoagulation (EC) emerging reactor with a rotating anode was constructed to study its effectiveness in removing turbidity and total hardness from samples of Lake water. The EC process was carried out under varying operational parameters, including rotation speed...

A new utilizing STATCOM to improve wind farm voltage stability

In order to reduce and manage general chaotic oscillations in three-area power system, this publication suggests three-wind farm with a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm (ISSA) technique is used in conjunction with suggested hybrid approa...

Heat Transfer and Flow Characteristics Through Acentric Twisted Oval Tubes: A 3D Numerical Investigation

Tube oval- twisting techniques have been consistently used to promote heat transfer and flow turbulence properties within tubes, enhancing flow mixing, disturbing boundary layers, and hence, offering higher thermal efficiency. However, the acentric twisted oval tubes have more in...

A hybrid deep learning framework with fractional multi-scale directional texture features for automated waste classification

Accurate waste image classification is essential for intelligent recycling and sustainable waste management systems. However, reliable waste recognition remains challenging due to irregular object shapes, illumination variations, complex backgrounds, and limited annotated data. A...

LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE ERIDU REGION: DISCOVERING THE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS OF ANCIENT FARMS

This paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study of water management around the site of Eridu in southern Iraq, using remote sensing, field survey and scientific dating to investigate the chronology of irrigation technologies. Our area of interest (AOI) encompasses s...

Genesis Cube or Squid Cube? A Dual-Use Framework for Artificial Collective Organisms

Large-language-model agents can be combined into persistent systems with differentiated roles, memory, coordination, tools and operational continuity. Yet aggregation, scale and commercial productivity alone do not create an organism. This paper introduces the concept of the arti...

Through the Eyes of Psychiatrists: Mental Health Services in Iraq– A Qualitative Study

Background: Iraq has considerable challenges in delivering mental health services. The country has been in years of conflict and war. These events have taken a severe toll on the mental health of its people. Aims: This study aimed to explore psychiatrists' views on public mental...

Numerical and experimental study of perforated-ring inserts for water-cooled tube heat transfer

Thermal losses in absorber tubes constrain the efficiency of water-cooled photovoltaic-thermal systems. This work presents an absorber tube fitted with perforated-ring inserts, coupling high-resolution Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimization with experimental thermohydrau...

Sustainable Solar Cabinet Dryers: A Review of Design Innovations, Thermal Storage Integration, Hybrid Systems, and Techno‐Environmental Assessment

ABSTRACT Although solar cabinet dryers (SCDs) represent an alternative to open sun drying (OSD) in the preservation of agricultural products, there are still challenges for SCDs such as the solar intermittency, unequal drying, and poor thermal efficiency. This systematic review b...

Therapeutic Ultrasound Versus Levofloxacin in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Orchitis: Comparative Effects on Testicular Inflammation and Tissue Recovery in Rats.

Background & Objective: Orchitis is a testicular inflammatory disorder that may impair spermatogenesis and compromise male fertility. Although fluoroquinolones are widely used in infectious orchitis and possess ancillary anti-inflammatory properties, concerns remain regarding the...

Sustainable mineral processing risk analysis based initial settling rates prediction using enhanced machine learning models

Abstract The primary contamination concern of mineral processing tailings (MPT) is the leaching of hazardous substances into the environment. The literature indicates that MPT requires effective flocculation and polymer-assisted dewatering to ensure its disposal does not cause en...

Steroid formulation, standardized prednisolone-equivalent dose, and thyroid–adrenal axis function in 28,695 adults: a real-world cross-sectional study

Exogenous steroid misuse is an increasingly recognized public health concern with potential consequences for hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis regulation. However, dose-standardized evidence linking specific steroid formulations to thyroid function markers remains scarce....
