Analysis and optimization of process parameters affecting core-spun ring yarn properties using a soft computing-based approach

This study presents a soft computing-based framework for the analysis, modeling, and optimization of cotton/polyester core-spun yarn properties produced on a ring spinning system. The effects of pre-tension, core multi-filament linear density, twist level, and spindle speed on ya...

Development and psychometric validation of substance abuse prevention questionnaire based on the multi-theory model: construct validity and reliability

Substance abuse is one of the major social challenges worldwide. To address this issue, health promotion specialists are striving to overcome the limitations of existing health education models in promoting unhealthy behaviors. The relatively new Multi-Theory Model (MTM) has been...

Reconfiguration of active medium- and low-voltage distribution networks based on multi-agent systems and mutual support capacity

Reducing power losses and preventing voltage instability remain key concerns in electrical distribution networks (DNs). These challenges are often addressed through reconfiguration of the network and the integration of distributed generation (DG) resources. In this study, a multi...

Source identification and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in groundwater

This study presents an integrated assessment of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), pollution status, ecological risk, human health risk, spatial distribution, and source apportionment in groundwater from the Birjand aquifer, eastern Iran. Twenty-eight groundwater samples were col...
