The journal retracts the proceeding paper, “Investigation of Guided Wave Interaction with Discontinuities in the Axisymmetric Damped Waveguide” [...]

In this paper, we establish a graph imaging technique to manifest local stabilization within atomic systems of multiple levels. Specifically, we address the interrelation between local stabilization and image entropy. As an example, we consider the m...

The goal of deep anomaly detection is to identify abnormal data by utilizing a deep neural network trained by a normal training dataset. In general, industrial visual anomaly detection problems distinguish normal and abnormal data through small morph...

In this paper, the development of a smart Internet of Things (IoT)-based system to monitor and prevent household gas wastage is proposed. An IoT-based gas wastage monitoring system was developed. The system needs to be integrated with the cooker. The...

The antibiotic Ciprofloxacin HCl (CPH) is a representative example of pharmaceutical contaminants of emerging concern that are frequently released in wastewater effluents and can cause hazardous health effects. In this work, we investigated the poten...

The aim of the study was to understand the changes of ultrasound-wave speed (US) and acoustic emission (AE) as a result of soil loading and unloading. The soil was dune Sand, Poorly graded, i.e., “SP” according to the Unified Soil Classification Syst...

Olive oil is one of the most widely used oils in the world with economic importance for many countries. Olive oil extraction generates large amounts of solid (cake) and liquid waste (olive mill wastewater, OMW), which pose a chronic environmental pro...

The changes in land surface temperature (LST) concerning time and space are mapped with the help of satellite remote sensing techniques. These measurements are used for determining several geophysical parameters including soil moisture, evapotranspir...

The development of dental composites having antibacterial properties is one of the current trends in the restorative dentistry. It is justified by the need for the secondary caries reduction that is the main reason for dental restoration failure. In...

New silver(I) complex with thianthrene (tia), [Ag(NO₃)(tia)(H₂O)]_n, was synthesized by the reaction of AgNO₃ with an equimolar amount of tia in ethanol/dichloromethane (v/v 1:1) at room temperature, and characterized by NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscop...

Grapes are cultivated globally with the total area under vines reaching 7.4 million hectares in 2018, and the global wine market is expected to increase to USD 423 billion by the end of 2023. However, winemaking produces large quantities of by-produc...

In this research, we investigate the minor chemical elements contained in the diesel particulate matter (DPM) exhaust emissions, generated by in-use diesel engine passenger vehicles. For this purpose, we apply a high-resolution optical emission spect...

Cities are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) due to the high density of urbanization, numerous industrial centers, and intensive agricultural activities. This study focused on soil methane and radon gas measurements in the subsurfa...

Proteins represent one of the most important building blocks for most biological processes. Their biological mechanisms have been found to correlate significantly with their dynamics, which is commonly investigated through molecular dynamics (MD) sim...

Blood is a liquid that transports oxygen and supplements to cells and diverts carbon dioxide and other byproducts. Red blood cells principally carry oxygen and gather carbon dioxide using hemoglobin. Hereditary disease of the blood comprises hemoglob...

Cardiovascular disease is the main worldwide reason for death. Cardiovascular diseases can cause the heartbeat to stop. If a person experiences a cardiac arrest, then direct treatments such as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with chest compressi...

Structural health monitoring and nondestructive evaluation techniques are utilized to monitor wire breakage, and one of the prominent methods is to practice guided ultrasonic wave propagation and acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. In this paper, the...

This research study aims to decompose bromocresol green (C₂₁H₁₄Br₄O₅S) using direct irradiation of a nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet. The absorbance spectra of the bromocresol green solution were measured, as was its electrical conductivit...

Manganese antimonide Mn_2−xM_xSb, where M is a 3d transition metal, is a prominent binary material due to its high Curie temperature and magnetocaloric properties accompanying the M-induced first-order phase transition for various compositions. I...

Various types of heart diseases, including cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease, are one of the main reasons behind the causes of death around the world. It can be mitigated if we know the pulse rate and monitor it p...

The paper describes synthesis and the characterization of novel biodegradable betulin-based polyanhydrides, exhibiting anti-cancer activity. Polyanhydrides were obtained by a melt polycondensation of a disuccinate betulin (3,28-di-O-succinyl betulin...

In this contribution, in which the preliminary outcomes on the monitoring of the “Garisenda” Tower are discussed, there are also briefly presented the results already obtained from the monitoring of the “Asinelli” Tower, carried out a few years ago b...

One of the most aggressive attacks to which cement-based materials can be exposed is that produced by sulphate. During this attack, expansive products are formed, causing volumetric strains in hardened materials, which brings microcracking and the re...

Marine-extracted sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) have been the subject of myriad research since they are considered an eco-friendly source of biologically active compounds. Meanwhile, food and pharmaceutical industries are urgently producing natural s...

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of new polymeric materials in the form of composites with a luminescent filler using the photopolymerization methodology. In the synthesis of the composites, bisphenol A glycerolate (1 glycerol/p...

Hydroxyapatites modified with metal ions are the main inorganic components of bone tissue that are approved for use as components for biocomposites and coatings for surgical implants. This study examined prototypes of functional materials for bone im...
