Biogas Production from the Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Elephant Grass Juice and Cattle Wastewater: Batch and Semi-Continuous Performance in Anaerobic Reactors

Considering the limited information available on the use of elephant grass juice (EGJ) as a liquid co-substrate, this study aimed to evaluate its feasibility and biogas production potential for anaerobic co-digestion with dairy cattle wastewater (DCW), focusing on substrate ratio...

Locations, goals, and endpoints

Abstract This paper shows a structured functional split for the Mùwe Ké la-don (-‍na, -‍la, -‍ru/du), which previous work grouped under the umbrella term ‘Locative’. Drawing primarily on fifteen texts from elder speakers and authorities on the language, the study examines governi...

The double-edged sword of proactive GenAI: how it shapes user usage intention

Purpose With the emergence of generative AI (GenAI), proactive services that initiate actions on behalf of users without explicit prompts are becoming increasingly prevalent. Although such services can enhance human-AI interaction, emerging evidence suggests that GenAI proactivit...

On stochasticity of zonostrophic instability

This paper concerns the behaviour of reduced models for turbulence–mean-flow interactions, in particular for the modelling of zonostrophic instability, which accounts for the spontaneous generation of zonal flows observed in many planetary and geophysical fluid systems. In modell...

Quantitative Prediction of Monotone Decay Envelopes in Nonlinear Fractional Delay Systems via Asymptotically Accurate Comparators

The transient behavior of nonlinear fractional-order systems with time delays is critical for safety-critical applications, yet classical stability theory provides only asymptotic decay rates without specifying the time at which a system response begins to decrease monotonically....

Scorecards, not sit-ins: repertoires of alignment as rivals to contentious tactics in social movements

Classic accounts of contentious repertoires explain change through disruption. This article introduces the concept, repertoires of alignment, to be understood as a distinct, complementary toolkit that wins by converting movement claims into targets’ imperatives. Using semi-struct...

Effect of position and height of liquid slag nozzle on steel-slag flow behavior in continuous casting mold

The reaction between Mn and Al in molten steel and SiO 2 in the protective slag generates MnO and Al 2 O 3 , which can cause drastic changes in the composition of the protective slag, deteriorate the quality of the casting billet, and hinder the continuous casting process. The pr...

Preparing for the tiny predators: Community readiness and perceptions of copepod-based dengue control in eastern guatemala

Background Dengue remains a persistent public health challenge in eastern Guatemala, particularly in communities where irregular water supply, domestic water storage, and limited sanitation infrastructure create favorable conditions for Aedes aegypti proliferation. As concerns in...

Mathematical Programming Models for Agricultural Water: A Systematic Review

This study provides a systematic review of mathematical programming models applied to agricultural water management, with a focus on their relevance for policy design addressing water scarcity and agricultural pollution. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systema...

Authenticity and Emotional Well-Being in Culinary Heritage Tourism: Evidence from a Brewery Heritage Experience Among Generation Z in Lublin, Poland

Background/Objectives: Brewery heritage tourism combines authentic industrial heritage, cultural interpretation, and sensory experiences, yet its immediate effects on visitors’ emotional well-being remain insufficiently understood. The aim of this study was to determine whether p...

Air Pollution and Heat Impacts on Respiratory Morbidity and Mortality Outcomes in Africa: A Systematic Review Towards a Meta-analysis

Abstract Purpose of the review This review synthesised evidence on associations between air pollution and respiratory morbidity in Africa. Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, ScienceDirect and Elicit for case-control studies published between 2015 and...

THE IMPACT OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA ON THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE IN ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG WOMEN

Based on a literature review, this article examines the impact of iron deficiency anemia— prevalent during adolescence and young adulthood—on the course of the menstrual cycle, specifically parameters such as cycle length, amount of blood loss, and dysmenorrhea. It highlights the...

Increase in Healthcare-Associated Infections: Is COVID-19 Responsible? A Narrative Review

During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) showed a significant increase, exacerbated by the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. Antibiotic overuse and infection control practices influenced HAI incidence rates, alongside the rising preva...

Effective Tumor Protection by a Tumor-Associated Mucin-1 Glycopeptide-Based Conjugate Vaccine in a Spontaneous Mouse Breast Cancer Model

Abstract Human mucin-1 (MUC1) is an attractive tumor antigen due to its high expression levels on tumor cells and its important roles in tumor development. Due to the aberrant glycosylation of MUC1 on tumor cells, tumor-associated MUC1 (tMUC1) has a shortened O-glycan attached on...

Cause of death in a contemporary cohort of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension

Abstract Background In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), contemporary risk tools primarily estimate all-cause mortality, offering limited insight into what patients die from. Aims We aimed to characterize causes of death across baseline risk strata and to examine baseline fa...

The Role of Science Course Pathways in Predicting College Enrollment: Insight From A Large Urban School District

ABSTRACT Although high school science course‐taking is highly valued in college admissions, its predictability for college enrollment, a key step in access to many STEM fields, has not been sufficiently investigated in the context of wide variability in science courses and update...

Diurnal variation of psycho-cognitive performances: effects of mental fatigue in young active men with a moderately morning chronotype

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mental fatigue on the daily variation of psycho-cognitive performances in young men with normal sleep quality and a moderately morning chronotype. Fourteen non-smoking active male students (age: 20.51 ± 0.92 years; height: 175...

Whole-body depth camera gait analysis with artificial intelligence for recognizing anterior cruciate ligament deficient gait compared with healthcare professionals

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can be missed during the initial evaluation because compensatory strategies may conceal subtle gait abnormalities. We evaluated the accuracy with which healthcare professionals recognize ACL deficient gait from brief visual observation and...

Air ticket sales forecasting for B2B travel agencies

Purpose This study addresses the air ticket sales forecasting problem for business-to-business (B2B) travel agencies, a largely unexplored area compared to airlines and business-to-consumer agencies. To meet guarantee deposit requirements and manage financial risk exposure, B2B a...
