Adding the Molecular Diversity Information of the Common Fouling Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite (Darwin, 1854) (Crustacea: Cirripedia) from the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman to the Global Diversity Pattern

in the PG and GO appears to have been shaped by both historical events and recent human activities.

Shift in streamflow seasonality and regime due to precipitation variability in a snow-influenced mountainous watershed

Abstract In mountainous regions, water availability and flood hazards are tightly linked to the timing and seasonality of streamflow, making their analysis indispensable for sustainable resource planning. In this regard, this study examines changes in seasonality and precipitatio...

Bifidobacterium longum prevent the progression of colon cancer via inhibiting metastasis and angiogenesis

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common reasons for cancer-related death, and both angiogenesis and metastasis have established roles in CRC progression. Recent findings suggest that probiotics, like Bifidobacterium longum, are capable of suppressing anti-cancer activit...

Improving the security of web services by automatic robot detection

Abstract Web robots account for over half of all web traffic and typically monitor resources uniformly, unlike humans, who tend to focus on specific topics. This research examines the impact of a machine learning algorithm, known as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), on identif...

A stock coupled water and material circularity framework quantifies the trade off between water and carbon in data center cooling

Abstract Circular-economy research has centered on materials, carbon and energy, while water circularity remains fragmented and rarely linked to data-center water demand. The gap matters across the Sustainable Development Goals: the build-out pursued under SDG 9 claims directly o...

Computational multi-omics integration in neurocognitive disorders from machine learning to graph-based approaches

Neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) pose a major global health challenge. This review summarizes computational methods for multi-omics data integration in NCD research, including conventional machine learning, deep learning, and graph-based approaches. We highlight their strengths, l...

Immunogenicity assay of an experimental inactivated vaccine against bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 in calves

Abstract Background Bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) is a key pathogen in the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD). This study aimed to develop an effective inactivated vaccine using an indigenous Iranian BPIV3 strain, evaluating different inactivation methods and ad...

Acoustic performance of Shekam-Darideh spatial typology in traditional Iranian houses: Evidence from the Tabatabaei house

Contemporary studies in architecture and urban planning, especially in the field of cultural heritage and historical monuments, show that spatial perception is not limited to visual characteristics and that other components, such as sound, play an important role in the quality of...

Eco-friendly functionalization of polyamide fibres via sustainable phyto-synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius ) extract

The textile industry is increasingly shifting toward sustainable antimicrobial solutions that minimise the environmental and health risks associated with conventional chemical treatments. This study presents a green, one-step synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) usin...

Iranian‐Style Cohabitation and Living in a State of Suspension and Rupture

ABSTRACT Objective To comprehend the experience of cohabitation and the attractions of this lifestyle within a context of experiential limitations and the possibility of its rupture in the short term. Background Cohabitation's significance lies in its contradiction with the cultu...

Ecotype-dependent drought responses in Ziziphora clinopodioides: from trichome development to pulegone biosynthesis

Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting plant growth and secondary production, particularly in medicinal and aromatic plants. This study investigated the effects of drought stress on glandular trichome density, phenolic compounds, essential oil production across five ecotypes...

The 2026 Strait of Hormuz Shipping Disruption: Empirical Assessment of Maritime Transit Collapse, Food Price Dynamics, and Multimodal Logistics Resilience

Maritime shipping carries over 80% of global merchandise trade, making strategic chokepoints critical for food-importing regions. The 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis triggered an acute shipping disruption threatening Persian Gulf food import corridors. Combining daily AIS data acros...

Phytochemical-mediated design of magnetic MgFe2S4/CoBiO2I heterojunction for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin

This study addresses the environmental threat of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by presenting a nanocomposite synthesized via a plant-extract-mediated route, which eliminates the need for harsh chemical reducing agents. This approach minimizes the use of hazardous chemicals while maintainin...

Gravitational Landscapes: black holes with linear equations of state in asymptotically safe gravity

Abstract Gravitational Landscapes: black holes with linear equations of state in asymptotically safe gravityWe study black holes with a linear equation of state within the framework of asymptotically safe gravity. This study extends previous work on gravitational collapse in asym...

Plasmon–Exciton Coupling Enhances Second‐Order Nonlinear Response in Borophene–ZnO Hybrid Structures

ABSTRACT Nonlinear optical processes in low‐dimensional materials are often weak or symmetry forbidden, limiting their use in nanoscale light sources and on‐chip frequency conversion. Here, we show that combining two weakly nonlinear systems—anisotropic borophene and excitonic zi...

Tourism as soft power: a configurational analysis of nation branding in constrained geopolitical contexts

Purpose This study investigates how tourism functions as a soft power mechanism amid geopolitical constraints, examining the configurational conditions under which tourism practices enhance nation branding effectiveness (NBET). Focusing on Iran as an illustrative transitional cas...

Molecular engineering and clinical translation of T cell engaging bispecific antibodies in cancer therapy

Abstract Bispecific T-cell engagers are Fc-less, Fv-based members of the broader family of T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies designed to redirect cytotoxic T cells toward tumor cells by simultaneously binding CD3 and tumor-associated antigens. Despite their clinical promise,...
