As the central component of a pumped storage power station, the pump-turbine frequently enters the hump region during operation, which impacts the safe functioning of the unit. This study investigates the flow patterns at various guide vane openings...
Semi-open centrifugal pumps are widely used in various fields. However, the tip leakage vortex (TLV) has a malign effect on the impeller flow field. The structure and trajectory of a TLV under different discharge conditions were simulated and are dis...
The reproduction and survival of fish are often negatively affected by the construction of dams and other hydroelectric projects, which cut off their migratory routes. Building effective fish passage facilities that allow fish to pass through dams sm...
The water flow characteristics over an interval-pooled stepped spillway are investigated by combining the renormalization group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model with the volume of fluid (VOF) interface capture technique in the present study. The re...
Background/Objectives: The rising global prevalence of metabolic diseases (e.g., obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus) underscores the need for effective interventions. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) exhibit therapeutic potential, yet their...
Highly three–dimensional and complex flow structures are closely related to the aerodynamic losses occurring in the transonic axial–flow compressor. The large eddy simulation (LES) approach was adopted to study the aerodynamic performance...
Attached to the outer surface of the corneocyte lipid envelope (CLE), omega-hydroxy ceramides (ω-OH-Cer) link to involucrin and function as lipid components of the stratum corneum (SC). The integrity of the skin barrier is highly dependent on t...
Planar motion mechanism (PMM) tests provide a means of obtaining the hydrodynamic derivatives needed to assess ship maneuverability properties. In this paper, the self-developed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) solver based on the open source code p...
Background/Objectives: Nursing organizational well-being has important implications for nurses, patients, and healthcare organizations. From a nursing-specific perspective, it arises from the balance between nursing demands and nursing resources in t...
Background: Acute sarcopenia refers to the swift decline in muscle function and mass following acute events such as illness, surgery, trauma, or burns that presents significant challenges in hospitalized older adults. Methods: narrative review to des...
Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) displays functional properties and contains α-linolenic acid (omega-3). It also contains soluble and insoluble fiber, lignans, phenolic acids, flavonoids, phytic acid, vitamins, and minerals. However, its micro...
Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) is a high-value crop due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids and its outstanding nutritional, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic properties. However, this species faces challenges from diseases, particularly root r...
Calla lily (Zantedeschia albomaculata (Hook.) Baill.) is an herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennial grown from rhizomes. It is commonly named “Spotted Arum”. Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are found in all known organisms and are known for being f...
Chia oil is a valuable source of omega-3-fatty acids and other nutritional components. However, it is expensive to produce and can therefore be easily adulterated with cheaper oils to improve the profit margins. Spectroscopic methods are becoming mor...
Background/Objectives: Due to the significant overlap in symptoms between COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, a multiplex PCR-based platform was developed to simultaneously detect 22 respiratory pathogens. Target sequences were retrieved from...
Background/Objectives: Poor diet is a leading modifiable cause of chronic disease in the US. In addition to targeting nutrients of concern (saturated fat, added sugars, and sodium), nutrients with both inadequate intakes and associations with major h...
Cavitation is a complex multiphase flow phenomenon, and the generation of transient phase transitions between liquid and vapor during cavitation development leads to multi-scale vortex motion. The transient cavitation dynamics and centrifugal pump&rs...
Background: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) in children is a rare but clinically significant disorder associated with recurrent acute pancreatitis and substantial morbidity. Early identification and prompt management are essential to prevent pancr...
Background and Objectives: Metabolic syndrome (MS) represents several diseases encompassing a heterogeneous group of biochemical and physiological abnormalities characterized by structural and functional alterations in the myocardium, including the e...
Introduction: Death anxiety is a salient psychological construct across the adult lifespan; however, few studies have examined the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) in university populations spanning dive...

Background: Psychosocial well-being at work is a multidimensional construct associated with employee health, organizational functioning, sustainable workforce development, and population mental health. However, few theoretically integrated instrument...
Background: The global population is ageing, with predictions that 150 million people will be living with dementia by 2050. Cognitive dysfunction and dementia have significant adverse impacts on quality of life in older adults. Therefore, the identif...
