Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs), a product of nanotechnology, have emerged as promising biostimulants with significant applications in sustainable agriculture for enhancing crop yield and quality. In this study, the effects of foliar-applied CSNPs on...

This paper addresses the simultaneous feeder routing and conductor sizing problem in unbalanced three-phase distribution systems, formulated as a nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) that minimizes the equivalent annualized expansion cos...

Cereal-based complementary foods are widely consumed by children, yet limited data exist on their elemental composition and potential health risks. This study quantified As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Mg, Mo, Ni, P, Pb, Se, Si, V, and Zn in eight com...

Concentrations of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), as the sum total of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the individual parts, i.e., NO and NO2, (NOx = NO + NO2), and wind speed and direction measurements were gathered over a thirteen-year perio...

Fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon with profound implications for performance, health, and wellbeing. Its complexity means that no single discipline can adequately explain its causes or management, highlighting the need for integrative approach...

The recovery of livestock waste through multistage anaerobic digestion represents a key strategy for producing high-efficiency liquid biofertilizers within circular economy frameworks. This study compared two underexplored substrates—guinea pig...

Hair dyes are widely used cosmetic products that can contain trace metals and metalloids, posing potential health risks through dermal exposure. This study aimed to assess and compare the concentrations of selected metals and metalloids in six brands...

Azacytidine is the only approved treatment for patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS); yet less than half of the patients will achieve a response, whereas the duration of response is highly heterogeneous and there are no predictors...

The increasing demand for industrial resource optimization has driven the creation of integrated methodologies for the technical assessment of complex operations such as gas oil hydrocracking. This study examines the technical performance of a mass a...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat that urgently requires alternative strategies to address this challenge. Klebsiella spp. are among the most important clinical pathogens and a leading cause of opportunistic nosocomial in...
