Comparative analysis of combustion and emission characteristics in RCCI engines using alcohol fuels with different carbon numbers.

Alcohol fuels with different carbon numbers such as propanol (C3), butanol (C4) and pentanol (C5) have lately become popular in both conventionally and RCCI-operated diesel engines thanks to their high cetane number (CN) and oxygen content along with lower latent heat of evaporation, which are useful for reducing the high CO/HC emissions, whereas RCCI mode still suffers from these emissions. Therefore, in this study, these three alcohol fuels with carbon numbers ranging from C3 to C5 were employed as low-reactivity fuel (LRF) in a single-cylinder RCCI engine under a constant engine speed of 2400 rpm and varying loadings (from 20 to 60% of full load at 20% intervals) and premixed ratios (from 0 to 60% with 15% intervals) when using B7 as high-reactivity fuel (HRF). In the experimental study, the effect of oxygen content, latent heat of evaporation, and cetane number which changes linearly with the carbon number of alcohols used, on exhaust emissions, were analyzed.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Local Epidemiological Cut-Off Values of Vibrio anguillarum Isolated From Fish Farms in Turkey.

Studies on preventing antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture emphasise the need to responsibly and prudently use antimicrobials, selecting those most effective in controlling and/or reducing mortalities caused by vibriosis. In this study, the distribution of the antimicrobial susceptibility of 28 Vibrio anguillarum isolates from Turkish fish farms was determined using the broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. The epidemiological cut-off (CO) values of the V.

The interplay of academic procrastination, self-generated stress, and self-reported bruxism among medical and dental students: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Academic procrastination (AP), a common behavior among students, is influenced by factors such as fear of failure, task aversiveness, anxiety, and stress. Self-generated stress (SGS) refers to the subjective experience of tension that occurs in response to an existing situation. Individuals often overestimate the difficulty and attainability of a task, resulting in increased stress and extended stress duration.

Description of three new Pseudomonas species isolated from aquarium fish: Pseudomonas auratipiscis sp. nov., Pseudomonas carassii sp. nov. and Pseudomonas ulcerans sp. nov.

Inhibitory effect of homemade hawthorn vinegar-based marinade on Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine and Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine formation in beef tenderloins.

In this study, the inhibitory effects of homemade hawthorn vinegar-based marinade on the formation of Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) and Nε-(carboxyethyl) lysine (CEL) during the cooking of beef tenderloins investigated. Additionally, the goal was to determine the bioactive compounds present in hawthorn vinegar that could contribute to these effects, both quantitatively and qualitatively. For this purpose, hawthorn vinegar was first produced from hawthorn fruit and characterized.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., psychrotolerant flavobacteria isolated from cultivated fish.

Two yellow-coloured strains, F-29 and F-340, were isolated from fish farms in Antalya and Mugla in 2015 and 2017 during surveillance studies. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that both strains belong to the genus . A polyphasic approach involving a comprehensive genome analysis was employed to ascertain the taxonomic provenance of the strains.

Clinical outcomes of conservative versus surgical treatment for patients with proximal humeral fracture before physiotherapy.

Fear of movement, pain, and loss of shoulder function are the most common problems irrespective of their approach to management after proximal humeral fracture (PHF). However, it has been unclear whether there could be differences between both treatments in early clinical outcomes. It can help physiotherapists to guide in choosing treatment approaches.

Tocilizumab Reduces Lung Injury in a Rat Lung Ischemia and Reperfusion Model.

Objective: In this study, the effect of tocilizumab (TCZ) on lung tissue in lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats was investigated.

Pomiferin isolated from Osage orange is evaluated in and laboratory bioassays. This study focused the effects of pomiferin on Ni-caused hepatic injury and its underlying mechanisms.

Lidocaine Inhibits Rat Prostate Cancer Cell Invasiveness and Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Expression in Plasma Membrane.

There is increasing evidence, mostly from breast cancer, that use of local anaesthetics during surgery can inhibit disease recurrence by suppressing the motility of the cancer cells dependent on inherent voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). Here, the possibility that lidocaine could affect cellular behaviours associated with metastasis was tested using the Dunning cell model of rat prostate cancer. Mostly, the strongly metastatic (VGSC-expressing) Mat-LyLu cells were used under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

SOphrology Intervention to Improve WELL-Being in Hospital Staff (SO-WELL): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial Study.

Introduction: Stress at work and psychosocial risks are a major public health problem. Sophrology and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) have demonstrated benefits in terms of mental, physical and social health, both in the general population and in patients, and both in and out of hospital settings. However, these approaches have never been provided at the hospital for the benefit of health professionals at risk of suffering at work.
