Testosterone and corticosterone are steroid hormones that regulate various aspects of bird behavior. The dynamics of blood level of these hormones depending on the stage of the life cycle have been studied in many species. It has been shown for both sexes that the levels of both hormones rise during the breeding season. We have studied changes in the level of these hormones in the northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) during a year. This has been the first study of this type on northern goshawk. We collected blood samples from 16 adult northern goshawks kept in pairs in aviaries in the VITASFERA Rare Bird Species Breeding Center. The testosterone level rises in males during the period of lekking and mating (March-June); however, there is no synchronous increase in females. The corticosterone level generally remains high throughout the year in both sexes. Since these are the only data on the northern goshawk, it cannot be concluded whether this is characteristic of the species as a whole or only for captive birds.

For the purpose of simulating, controlling, evaluating, managing and optimizing PEMFCs it is necessary to develop accurate mathematical models. The present study develops a mathematical model which uses empirical or semi-empirical equations to estimate unknown model parameters through optimization techniques. This thesis calculates, analyzes and discusses the sum of squares error (SSE) between measured and estimated current and voltage values using parameters derived from multiple optimization techniques for six commercially available PEMFCs: BCS 500 W-PEMFC, 500 W SR-12 PEMFC, Nedstack PS6 PEMFC, H-12 PEMFC, HORIZON 500 W PEMFC and a 250 W-stack PEMFC.

Addressing the imbalance between exploration and exploitation, slow convergence, local optima Traps, and low convergence precision in the Northern Goshawk Optimizer (NGO): Introducing a Multi-Strategy Integrated Northern Goshawk Optimizer (MINGO). In response to challenges faced by the Northern Goshawk Optimizer (NGO), including issues like the imbalance between exploration and exploitation, slow convergence, susceptibility to local optima, and low convergence precision, this paper introduces an enhanced variant known as the Multi-Strategy Integrated Northern Goshawk Optimizer (MINGO). The algorithm tackles the balance between exploration and exploitation by improving exploration strategies and development approaches.

This study aimed to address the challenge of extending the shelf life of Boletus wild mushrooms, which are prone to environmental and microbial contamination. An antibacterial film composed of polylactic acid (PLA) and mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with citral (CMP film) was developed for this purpose. Fifteen quality indices were assessed, and the data were integrated using AHP and TOPSIS to evaluate the film's efficacy.
