(1) Background: Lung transplantation is an increasingly utilized treatment for end-stage lung disease. Scarcity of organ donors limiting transplantation underscores the importance of optimal histocompatibility testing approaches to facilitate organ allocation and avoid immunologic rejection. Significant data has emerged over the past decade to define the role of alloantibodies against HLA in the pathogenesis of post-lung transplant complications. (2) Methods: Medical literature from 1996–2016 related to search term [...]

Sheep production systems in sub-Saharan Africa are largely constrained by seasonal fluctuations in feed availability and persistent shortages in both the quantity and quality of forages throughout the year. These limitations adversely affect growth performance and reproductive efficiency in sheep. In addition, the escalating cost of conventional feed ingredients used in ration formulation has intensified the search for alternative, affordable, and locally available feed resources that do not compete directly with h [...]

The increasing scale, speed, and sophistication of cyberattacks have rendered traditional rule-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) insufficient for modern network environments. While machine learning (ML)-based IDSs have significantly improved detection capabilities, their black-box nature limits trust, interpretability, and practical deployment in real-world security operations. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an explainable machine learning framework for network intrusion detection using the CI [...]

The advent of cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital services has led to an increase in the number and complexity of cyberattacks. The intrusion detection methods currently used, based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, include SVM, random forest, deep learning, convolutional neural networks, and LSTM. These methods are more advanced than the signature method since they are more efficient. However, despite these advancements, several issues with intrusion detection systems remain. [...]

Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is an escalating fire-safety problem in electric vehicles and battery energy-storage systems (BESS), and conventional water-based suppression has repeatedly been shown to delay propagation without preventing pack destruction or re-ignition. Solid, electrically non-conductive cooling agents are a promising but under-characterized alternative. This study addresses the absence of comparative, in-pack data on boron-based salt-hydrate cooling powders. Eight propane-burner [...]

Mild steel has tendency to form a protective film in caustic environments; however, elevated temperatures and freshly exposed metal surfaces usually prevent stable film formation—leading to rapid and active corrosion rate of mild steel. This study reports the potential of using ethanol extract of African peach leaf as alternative corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1.0 M NaOH solution. Gravimetric and electrochemical measurements were carried to unravel the mechanisms of the corrosion reduction by the inhibitor wh [...]

Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells remain among the most promising photovoltaic technologies due to their high absorption coefficient, tunable bandgap, and compatibility with low-temperature processing. This manuscript presents a comprehensive numerical investigation of performance enhancement strategies for CIGS-based solar cells using one-dimensional and multidimensional simulation frameworks. Device optimization is analyzed by systematically varying absorber composition, bandgap grading, [...]

Integrating Life Cycle Cost (LCC), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) has emerged as a pivotal approach for evaluating the multi-dimensional performance of construction materials. However, existing studies often treat these dimensions in isolation, failing to provide a holistic representation of sustainable development. Furthermore, while material selection in the preliminary design phase fundamentally dictates the sustainability trajectory of a project, there remains a critical r [...]

Worldwide, the incidence of allergenicity is rising rapidly, making it an ongoing clinical challenge and public health concern. The current treatment options for allergies include allergen avoidance, medications to improve symptoms, and immunotherapy to desensitize affected individuals to specific allergens. However, these approaches have limitations, and there is an urgent need for novel and more effective therapies. Allergies are a compelling candidate for gene editing (GE) given their prevalence and the inadequa [...]
