Sharp exponential edge bounds and flag constructions for multipartite intersecting hypergraphs

We construct strictly t-intersecting r-partite r-uniform hypergraphs with fixed ratio r/t = 3 and arbitrarily large vertex cover number, answering Problem 1 of Bishnoi, Das, Morris and Szabo. The construction attains a sharp universal edge bound: every finite, nonempty, simple hy...

Decoding cold tolerance in chilli: An integrated assessment of morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses

This study evaluated multifaceted cold tolerance mechanism in twelve hot pepper genotypes by assessing morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses associated with cold stress resilience. Considerable genotypic variation was observed across all evaluated par...

Successful treatment of achalasia in the context of Allgrove syndrome using peroral endoscopic myotomy in siblings: a clinical case

Objective. To present current evidence on Allgrove syndrome and to review diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to achalasia associated with this condition based on a clinical case. Key points. Allgrove syndrome (Triple-A syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder c...

Not simply a decline: gendered changes in students’ intrinsic motivation towards mathematics

Abstract This study examines one-year changes in students’ intrinsic motivational orientation towards mathematics and whether these changes are gendered. Drawing on Swedish data from the TIMSS 2023 Longitudinal Study, we analysed two student cohorts, followed from Grade 4 to Grad...

Molecular Docking-Based Screening of Epicatechin Gallate against Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) Using Estradiol as a Standard Ligand: Insights into Female Reproductive Health

Female fertility and ovarian function are controlled by a complex network of hormonal signals, in which estrogen receptors play an important regulatory role. Among these receptors, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) is widely expressed in ovarian tissues and contributes to essential repr...

Simulating Methane (CH4) Transport Pathways from a Rice Crop Grown on a Degraded Fen Peat Soil using the Peatland-VU Model

Important notes for future model users that seek to simulate the Peatland-VU model The modelling data uploaded in the zipped folder called as "Swiss PeatVU Aug2026 outputs" contains the simulations conducted using the Peatland-VU model. These Peatland-VU simulations are for the s...

Genomic determinants of penicillin G susceptibility and cefazolin inoculum effect in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to describe penicillin G susceptibility, blaZ diversity, and genetic determinants of the cefazolin inoculum effect (CfzIE) among MSSA bloodstream isolates. METHODS: The first three non-duplicate MSSA isolates recovered each month from blood cultures a...

Towards sustainable 3D concrete printing: influence of waste foundry sand on rheology and printability of OPC–LC2 systems

Concrete demand depletes natural resources and increases CO2 emissions; simultaneously, industrial waste causes land pollution. Using waste foundry sand (FS) and low-carbon limestone calcined clay (LC2) offers a sustainable solution to these challenges. In this study, quartz sand...

SOFA-2 vs. SOFA and early warning scores for short-term mortality in older adults with sepsis in the emergency department

SOFA-2 was developed to update the SOFA score for contemporary clinical practice, but its performance in older adult emergency department (ED) patients with sepsis is uncertain. We evaluated SOFA-2 for short-term mortality prediction and compared it with SOFA and commonly used ea...

Framing the future: how disruptive events reshape material preferences in global residential construction

Purpose Disruptive events, such as natural disasters and pandemics, can considerably reshape home buyers’ preferences in the residential construction industry. These shifts are evident in changing preferences of building materials in response to sustainability, resilience, cost a...

Entity-centric evaluation of large language model responses for medical question-answering tasks

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evaluated for clinical question-answering (QA) tasks, yet benchmark accuracy alone provides limited assurance of clinical reliability. Existing evaluation metrics often fail to capture whether model reasoning preserves patient-specifi...

Effect of Pendant Pyrene Groups on the Topology and Thermal Properties of Poly(Trimethylene Carbonate)

ABSTRACT Planar aromatic side chains offer a promising strategy for regulating polymer topology and segmental dynamics. Here, a pyrene‐substituted trimethylene carbonate (TMCM‐Py) was synthesized and polymerized by DBU‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization using benzyl alcohol as...

Modeling and Simulation of Steady-State Steering Characteristics for Eight-Tracked Vehicles

Eight-track vehicles feature large grounding areas, low ground contact pressure, and high load-bearing capacity, and are widely adopted for heavy-duty engineering transportation and large special-purpose operation platforms. Accurate characterization of their steady-state steerin...

Enarthrocarpus Labill. / Orakturpu

Bu çalışmada Enarthrocarpus Labill. (Orakturpu) cinsine ait Türkiye’deki tek tür olan E. arcuatus Labill. (orakturpu) gözden geçirilmiştir. Türün Türkiye’deki yayılışı, habitat bilgileri güncellenmiş; tür beyannamesinde verilen teknik çizimden faydalanılarak Labillerdi top...

Analysis of the performance of a top-hinged flap-type wave energy converter using a RANS-VoF numerical model

The performance of a full-scale top-hinged flap-type wave energy converter in the open sea is analyzed numerically in this study. A free surface flow Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes numerical model is used with the ANSYS Fluent® software. The flap, 7 m long, is immersed in a flum...

Occupational pesticide exposure and its associated health impacts on vegetable farmers in North-Shoa Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia

Extensive and indiscriminate use of pesticides in the agricultural sector has increased significant environmental, health, and food security concerns, particularly in countries where regulations are not strictly implemented. This study aimed to assess associations between pestici...

COMPARISON OF TEACHER AND PEER FEEDBACK ON THE REDUCTION OF LANGUAGE ERRORS IN JUNIOR STUDENTS' SPEAKING

From the standpoint of formative assessment, the primary distinction between peer and teacher feedback is that, in contrast to instructors, peers are not domain experts. Peer feedback's accuracy varies as a result. Peer opinions and advice might be misleading, entirely wrong, or...

The 2024 Elections and the Nationalization of Congressional Vote Choice

The 2024 cycle offers a crucial case for the nationalization of American elections. We argue that presidential-centered evaluations increasingly anchor down-ballot choice, compressing local heterogeneity and diminishing the independent effects of incumbency and candidate quality....
