Development of a Dual-Input Hybrid Wave–Current Ocean Energy System: Design, Fabrication, and Performance Evaluation - Farooq Saeed; Tanvir M. Sayeed; Mohammed Abdul Hannan; Abdullah A. Baslamah; Aedh M. Alhassan; Turki K. Alarawi; Osama A. Alsaadi; Muhanad Y. Alharees; Sultan A. Alshehri (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
This study presents the design, fabrication, and performance assessment of a novel, small-scale (30–70 W), hybrid ocean energy system that captures energy from wave-induced heave motion using a point-absorber buoy and from ocean currents via a vertical axis water turbine (VAWT). Key innovations include a custom designed and built dual-rotor generator that accepts independent mechanical input from both subsystems without requiring complex mechanical coupling and a bi-directional mechanical motion rectifier with an overdrive. Numerical simulations using ANSYS AQWA (2024R2) and QBLADE(2.0.4) guided the design optimization of the buoy and turbine, respectively. Wave resource assessment for the Khobar coastline, Saudi Arabia, was conducted using both historical data and field measurements. The prototype was designed and built using readily available 3D-printed components, ensuring cost-effective construction. This mechanically simple system was tested in both laboratory and outdoor conditions. Results showed reliable operation and stable power generation under simultaneous wave and current input. The performance is comparable to that of existing hybrid ocean wave–current energy converters that employ more complex flywheel or dual degree-of-freedom systems. This work provides a validated pathway for low-cost, compact, and modular hybrid ocean energy systems suited for remote coastal applications or distributed marine sensing platforms.

Remote Non-Destructive Testing of Port Cranes: A Review of Vibration and Acoustic Sensors with IoT Integration - Jan Lean Tai; Mohamed Thariq Hameed Sultan; Rafał Grzejda; Farah Syazwani Shahar (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
Safe and efficient operation of port cranes is vital for maintaining the efficiency of global maritime logistics. However, traditional non-destructive testing methods face significant limitations in harsh port environments, such as periodic inspection intervals, restricted access to structural components, and a lack of real-time monitoring. This review explores the emerging paradigm of remote non-destructive testing through the integration of vibration and acoustic emission sensors with Internet of Things platforms. By enabling continuous, real-time monitoring, these sensor systems can detect early indicators of mechanical degradation, structural fatigue, and corrosion. This study synthesizes findings from over 100 peer-reviewed sources and identifies a significant gap in the application of these technologies to port cranes. Although vibration and acoustic emission sensors have been widely studied in various fields, their application to port cranes remains underexplored, presenting a novel and promising avenue for future research and practical applications. The unique operational demands and structural complexities of port cranes, coupled with their critical role in global trade logistics, make them ideal for leveraging these sensors in tandem with Internet of Things solutions. This integration not only overcomes the limitations of traditional non-destructive testing methods, but also offers substantial benefits, including enhanced safety, reduced inspection costs, and improved operational efficiency. This review concludes by proposing future research directions to enhance sensor performance, data analytics, and Internet of Things integration, paving the way for predictive maintenance strategies that increase operational uptime and improve safety in port crane operations.

The Build Back Circular Framework: Circular Economy Strategies for Post-Disaster Reconstruction and Recovery - Sultan Çetin; Julian Kirchherr (Circular Economy and Sustainability, 2025)
Scholars have recently debated the potential of the circular economy (CE) as a crisis response strategy; however, concrete examples demonstrating its effectiveness in such applications remain limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating how CE principles—narrowing, slowing, closing, and regenerating resource loops— can be integrated into post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, with a focus on the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes in Türkiye. Using an exploratory qualitative research design, including an integrative literature review, workshop with 24 participants and 21 expert interviews, this study develops the Build Back Circular (BBC) framework. The framework proposes ten action strategies: (1) Upcycle, reuse or recycle post-disaster waste, (2) Integrate circular design principles, (3) Introduce circular policies, (4) Leverage digital technologies, (5) Raise awareness and expand knowledge, (6) Drive the market with circular business opportunities, (7) Involve local communities, (8) Improve cooperation and collaborations, (9) Integrate CE principles into post-disaster urban development, and (10) Stimulate the use of healthy, local, and biobased materials. These strategies aim not only to enhance resource efficiency and resilience but also to address the social dimensions of CE, promoting an inclusive recovery. Successful implementation requires a collaborative ecosystem of government, municipalities, academia, the construction sector, and civil society. By bridging the fields of CE and disaster management, this research offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to integrate CE into post-disaster reconstruction and urban development processes. Beyond Türkiye’s recovery, it aims to support global disaster risk frameworks (e.g., UN’s Sendai Framework), enhancing crisis management through a CE lens.

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia - Christopher Clarke; Sultan M. Alsharif (Journal of Biogeography, 2025)
Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago. This marked an expansion in human population that was followed by animal extinctions and extirpations that have been accelerating to the present day. The re‐greening of Arabia presents a major opportunity to reverse much of this species decline; yet no complete list of the large mammal fauna of the AP during the Holocene has ever been published. Location Arabian Peninsula. Time Period Holocene. Major Taxa Studied Large mammals. Materials and Methods This paper tackles the problem by drawing on a database of archaeological and historical reports, as well as examination of thousands of published and unpublished rock images, complemented by analysis of over 30,000 toponyms. Results Evidence that 15 large mammal species became extinct or extirpated in the Arabian Peninsula since the beginning of the Holocene; previous published historical distribution maps of lions and aurochs shown to be incomplete; historic ranges of cheetah, Syrian wild ass, African wild ass, wild dromedary, lesser kudu, Arabian oryx, wild sheep and bezoar/wild goat distributions expanded; first published evidence of greater kudu, and Somali wild ass in the AP during the Holocene; most complete list of large mammals of the AP from the early Holocene; list of species that made it across the Sahara or recorded in the Levant during historical times that could also have colonised the AP, but for which evidence is yet to be conclusive; support for the Holocene and not the start of the modern era to be the conservation benchmark for re‐wilding; and description of key features on how to identify lost species in rock art. Main Conclusions This study shows that the Holocene large mammal fauna of the Arabian Peninsula consisted of many African species previously thought to have become extinct much earlier or not known to have colonised this part of western Asia. Moreover, some Levantine/Asian species were also present providing a unique fauna with affinities from both Afrotropical and Palearctic realms.

Microplastics (MPs) pose a persistent global threat and have entered almost every component of the ecosystem and seafood items. This study aimed to identify and characterize MPs in three widely edible fishes in the lower Meghna River estuary of Bangladesh and assess the polymer hazard index. Gastrointestinal tracts (GIT) of fish were collected and digested with KOH to extract MPs, and the polymer was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The species with the highest mean MP abundance was M. gulio (22.89 ± 8.91 MPs/GIT), followed by P. paradiseus (10.78 ± 4.29) and O. pama (15.11 ± 3.55). Fibers were predominant MPs, comprising 73.20–91.75% of the total particles. Blue, red, and black were the dominant colors of MPs, while 81.07–93.81% particles were between 500 and 1000 μm. Five distinct polymers, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, Polystyrene, and Nylon 6, were detected in the GIT of these fishes. The study unveiled a significant correlation (r 2 = 0.223, p = 0.013) between MP incidence and the total length of fish. The polymer hazard index of the selected fishes showed the risk category IV (Danger), which is alarming. A risk category IV indicates that exposure to polymer, directly or indirectly through the food chain, may result in severe health consequences for humans as well as wildlife. With these detailed insights into MPs in most consumable fishes, the study highlights the comprehensive risks posed by MPs that could be useful for strategies to mitigate this environmental challenge.

qPCR-Based Molecular Detection of Trichophyton indotineae by Targeting Divergent Sequences - Engin Kaplan; Oğuzhan Bingöl; Hazal Kandemir; Ayşe Sultan Karakoyun; Murat Durdu; Macit Ilkit (Mycopathologia, 2025)
Trichophyton indotineae , formerly known as T . mentagrophytes internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genotype VIII, has been recognized over the last decade due to its high virulence and resistance to treatment. Its accurate identification in routine mycology laboratories remains challenging, as it shares phenotypic traits and substantial rDNA ITS similarity with T . mentagrophytes and T . interdigitale . This study aimed to identify more divergent and stable sequences via whole-genome comparisons between T . indotineae and T . interdigitale to facilitate highly specific targeting of T . indotineae using a validated quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based method. Our whole-genome comparison revealed at least 22 unique sequences of T . indotineae compared to T . interdigitale and revealed the divergence of the former from the reference genomes of other Trichophyton species. Among these, a 499 bp segment was identified as the most genetically distinct sequence within the T . indotineae genome. Seventy-three dermatophyte strains [ T . indotineae ( n = 66), non- T . indotineae ( n = 7)], were tested using our qPCR assay targeting the above-mentioned stable 499-bp region. Regarding analytical performance, our T . indotineae -specific qPCR assay exhibited high sensitivity (93.3%) and specificity (100%), with a detection limit of ~ 15 genomic copies. Our approach has the potential to establish highly sensitive and specific qPCR assays without relying on specialized assay designs for single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ITS or other loci. This approach offers a practical solution for updating molecular diagnostics, particularly for novel taxa such as T . indotineae , for which limited gene data are available in public databases.

Impact of geohazards on cadastral data: an assessment after the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquakes (Türkiye) - Umit Yildiz; Candan Gokceoglu; Sultan Kocaman (Natural Hazards, 2025)
Humans set boundaries on land for thousands of years. Cadastre emerged as a system for registering them, whether they are marked on the ground (visible) or unmarked (invisible). Parcel boundary data stored in geospatial databases and supported with registration documents are legally binding in many countries. They are however subject to change physically due to anthropogenic activities and natural processes. Seismic activities inducing surface rupture, lateral spread, landslide, liquefaction, and rockfall are among the main natural causes yielding physical boundary alterations. Spatial pattern and magnitude of alterations depend on the geohazard type and geological characteristics of the area. If a cadastral database is not updated, the physical and registered boundary begins to diverge, leading to uncertainty that needs to be understood by both people and authorities. As a prominent example, the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras (Turkiye) earthquakes (Mw7.7 and Mw7.6), which affected a very large region covering approximately 100,000 km 2 , caused enormous alterations on the physical boundaries of approximately 5 million land parcels. In this study, we analyzed different boundary changes caused by this major event and proposed a conceptual framework based on physical, documentary, and spatial boundary definitions of cadastral parcels with examples from the Kahramanmaras earthquakes. Considering the size of the area and the immense cost of cadastral renovation projects, we analyzed the deformation patterns and possible magnitudes from an interdisciplinary perspective and presented an overview. The study findings provide insights for addressing boundary discrepancies, although additional research is required for comprehensive quantitative assessments across the entire area.

Agricultural productivity is intricately tied to efficient water management strategies, with raised bed furrow systems being a prevalent method for irrigation. However, the optimization of these systems remains a critical area of exploration. The border irrigation method is commonly employed in developing countries for irrigation and leads to significant water loss, reduced irrigation efficiency, and increased irrigation durations. In contrast, raised bed furrow irrigation represents an improved surface irrigation technique that optimizes water usage in irrigated systems. This study seeks to assess the irrigation performance of raised bed furrows, encompassing deep percolation loss, distribution uniformity, adequacy, and application efficiency. The evaluation will be conducted for both existing conditions and an optimized scenario achieved through the application of the WinSRFR model. Field data facilitated the numerical simulation and the model was calibrated to reflect the existing irrigation system dynamics accurately. The performance of the model was assessed by utilizing the statistical indicator of root mean square error (RMSE) and revealed good agreement between advance and recession time. Results revealed that existing raised bed furrow irrigation exhibited up to 40% deep percolation loss, 80% distribution uniformity, and 60% application efficiency. Increasing furrow length had adverse effects; decreased application efficiency and distribution uniformity; and increased deep percolation losses. In contrast, reducing the furrow length and cutoff time by up to 33% and 40%, respectively, and increasing the width and inflow rate by up to 55% and 100%, respectively, enhanced the application efficiency and distribution uniformity, and minimized deep percolation loss. Overall, improved raised bed furrow irrigation provides a more efficient option and is encouraged to adopt for irrigation.

Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogenous disease with multiple pathways implicated in its development, progression, and drug resistance. Autophagy, a cellular process responsible for self-digestion of damaged organelles, had been recognized as eminent player in cancer progression and chemotherapeutic resistance. The haploinsufficiency of Beclin 1 (BECN1), autophagy protein, is believed to contribute to cancer pathogenesis and progression. In our study, we investigated the expression of BECN1 in a BC female Egyptian patient cohort, as well as its prognostic role through evaluating its association with disease free survival (DFS) after 2 years follow up and association of tumor clinicopathological features. Twenty frozen female BC tissue samples and 17 adjacent normal tissue were included and examined for the expression levels of BECN1. Although the tumor tissues showed lower expression 0.73 (0–8.95) than their corresponding normal tissues 1.02 (0.04–19.59), it was not statistically significant, p: 0.463. BECN1 expression was not associated with stage, nodal metastasis or tumor size, p:0.435, 0.541, 0.296, respectively. However, statistically significant negative correlation was found between grade and BECN1 mRNA expression in the studied cases, p:0.028. BECN1 expression had no statistically significant association with DFS, P = 0.944. However, we observed that triple negative (TNBC) cases had significantly lower DFS rate than luminal BC patients, p: 0.022, with mean DFS 19.0 months, while luminal BC patients had mean DFS of 23.41 months. Our study highlights the potential role of BECN1 in BC pathogenesis, showing that BECN1 expression correlates with poorer differentiation of BC, indicating its probable link with disease aggressiveness. DFS two years follow up showed that TNBC subtype remains associated with less favorable prognosis.

Genome-wide association study of drought tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) identifies SNP markers and candidate genes - Sina Nouraei; Md Sultan Mia; Hui Liu; Neil C. Turner; Guijun Yan (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2024)
Drought stress poses a severe threat to global wheat production, necessitating an in-depth exploration of the genetic basis for drought tolerance associated traits. This study employed a 90 K SNP array to conduct a genome-wide association analysis, unravelling genetic determinants of key traits related to drought tolerance in wheat, namely plant height, root length, and root and shoot dry weight. Using the mixed linear model (MLM) method on 125 wheat accessions subjected to both well-watered and drought stress treatments, we identified 53 SNPs significantly associated with stress susceptibility (SSI) and tolerance indices (STI) for the targeted traits. Notably, chromosomes 2A and 3B stood out with ten and nine associated markers, respectively. Across 17 chromosomes, 44 unique candidate genes were pinpointed, predominantly located on the distal ends of 1A, 1B, 1D, 2A, 3A, 3B, 4A, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, and 7D chromosomes. These genes, implicated in diverse functions related to plant growth, development, and stress responses, offer a rich resource for future investigation. A clustering pattern emerged, notably with seven genes associated with SSI for plant height and four genes linked to both STI of plant height and shoot dry weight, converging on specific regions of chromosome arms of 2AS and 3BL. Additionally, shared genes encoding polygalacturonase, auxilin-related protein 1, peptide deformylase, and receptor-like kinase underscored the interconnectedness between plant height and shoot dry weight. In conclusion, our findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms governing wheat drought tolerance, identifying promising genomic loci for further exploration and crop improvement strategies.

Vesicular Carriers for Improved Oral Anticoagulation Competence of Rivaroxaban: In Vitro and In Vivo Investigation - Samar H. Faheim; Gamal M. El Maghraby; Amal A. Sultan (AAPS PharmSciTech, 2024)
Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant for avoidance and therapy of thromboembolic disorders. Unfortunately, oral bioavailability of rivaroxaban is compromised with dose increments. Accordingly, the aim was to test nano-vesicular lipid systems for improved oral anticoagulation activity of rivaroxaban. Rivaroxaban loaded niosomes, bilosomes and spanlastic formulations were prepared. The prepared systems were assessed in terms of particle size, zeta potential, transition electron microscopic features (TEM), entrapment efficiency, in-vitro drug release, and in-vivo anticoagulation performance in rats. The prepared vesicular systems exposed spherical negatively charged vesicles with mean particle size values between 136.6 nm to 387.9 nm depending on the composition. Rivaroxaban was efficiently entrapped in the vesicular systems with entrapment efficiency values ranging from 92.4% to 94.0%. Rivaroxaban underwent sustained release from the fabricated vesicular systems. The in vivo performance of the tested preparation revealed significant enhancement of the anticoagulation parameters. This was manifested from the prolonged clotting time, and prothrombin time. Moreover, the cut tails of the examined rats receiving the formulated nano-systems exposed a lengthy tail bleeding time compared to those receiving the un-processed rivaroxaban aqueous dispersion. In Conclusion, niosomes, bilosomes and spanlastic nano-dispersions have a potential to overwhelm the oral anticoagulation efficiency of rivaroxaban with spanlastic ranked as best. Graphical Abstract

Yeast feed additives present a natural approach for mitigating ruminal greenhouse gases (GHG) in an environmentally sustainable manner. This study aimed to isolate yeast strains from ruminal fluids capable of reducing GHG from Aflatoxin (AFB1) contaminated diets. Two isolates of Pichia manchuria (FFNLYFC1 and FFNLYFC2) were isolated and identified from the ruminal contents of dairy Zaraibi goats. An in vitro gas production assay was conducted to evaluate the impact of the yeast supplementations on a basal diet contaminated with AFB1 or not. The treatments were control (-AFB1; basal diet without supplements), control with AFB1 contamination (+ AFB1; basal diet containing 20 ppb AFB1), and yeast-supplemented diets (basal diet supplemented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae , and three treatments of P. manchuria [FFNLYFC1, FFNLYFC2, and their mixture at 1:1 ratio (Mix)]. High biological components were detected in abundance of both FFNLYFC1, FFNLYFC2 filtrates (e.g., diisooctyl phthalate). The Mix and FFNLYFC2 of P. manchuria reduced ( P < 0.05) methane by 23.5 and 20.8%, respectively, while only Mix inhibited carbon dioxide by 44% compared to the + AFB1 diet. All yeast diets improved ( P < 0.05) ammonia concentration, total protozoal and Entodinium spp. counts compared to + AFB1 diet. The Mix exhibited higher ( P < 0.05) values of ruminal degraded cellulose, total short-chain fatty acids, acetate and propionate compared to the individual isolates diets. The results suggest synergistic interactions among P. manshurica isolates, leading to enhanced ruminal fermentation and reduced GHG emissions while alleviating the adverse effects of AFB1. Therefore, we recommended the Mix of P. Manchuria as a novel feed additive to ruminant diets.

On the Importance of Including Cohesive Zone Models in Modelling Mixed-Mode Aneurysm Rupture - J. Concannon; E. Ó. Máirtín; B. FitzGibbon; N. Hynes; S. Sultan; J. P. McGarry (Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2024)
Introduction The precise mechanism of rupture in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) has not yet been uncovered. The phenomenological failure criterion of the coefficient of proportionality between von Mises stress and tissue strength does not account for any mechanistic foundation of tissue fracture. Experimental studies have shown that arterial failure is a stepwise process of fibrous delamination (mode II) and kinking (mode I) between layers. Such a mechanism has not previously been considered for AAA rupture. Methods In the current study we consider both von Mises stress in the wall, in addition to interlayer tractions and delamination using cohesive zone models. Firstly, we present a parametric investigation of the influence of a range of AAA anatomical features on the likelihood of elevated interlayer traction and delamination. Results We observe in several cases that the location of peak von Mises stress and tangential traction coincide. Our simulations also reveal however, that peak von Mises and intramural tractions are not coincident for aneurysms with Length/Radius less than 2 (short high-curvature aneurysms) and for aneurysms with symmetric intraluminal thrombus (ILT). For an aneurysm with (L/R = 2.0), the peak $${σ }_{vm}$$ σ vm moves slightly towards the origin while the peak $${T}_{t}$$ T t is near the peak bulge with a separation distance of ~ 17 mm. Additionally, we present three patient-specific AAA models derived directly from CT scans, which also illustrate that the location of von Mises stress does not correlate with the point of interlayer delamination. Conclusion This study suggests that incorporating cohesive zone models into clinical based FE analyses may capture a greater proportion of ruptures in-silico.

Penicillium digitatum Sacc is a common postharvest pathogen affecting lime fruits. It causes significant losses in postharvest lime production. An emerging alternative to chemical control is the use of environmentally friendly such as edible and biodegradable films and packaging. The goal of the current study was to test different concentrations of Aloe vera gel (5, 15, 25, 50, 75, and 100% v/v), tea tree oil coating (0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10% v/v), and their combination for controlling P. digitatum in vitro. The results revealed that specific concentrations of Aloe vera gel (75% and 100% v/v), tea tree oil (2.5, 5, and 10% v/v), and Aloe vera gel (25%) + tea tree oil (1%) v/v showed the highest inhibitory effect against the pathogen. The most effective concentrations of Aloe vera gel (75%), tea tree oil (2.5%), and Aloe vera gel (25%) + tea tree oil (1%) were evaluated against the green mold disease of lime under natural infection through storage period (0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days). Compared to the control group, all edible layers demonstrated a significant delay and reduced in disease severity percentage throughout the storage periods. However, coating lime fruits with a combination of Aloe vera gel (25%) + tea tree oil (1%) successfully prevented the green mold disease of lime fruits over 28 days. The impact of these coatings was evaluated on lime fruit quality maintenance (weight loss, firmness, juice weight, total soluble solids, total acidity, pH, vitamin C, lipid peroxidation content, total phenols, total flavonoid, and total protein) over 28 days of storage during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. All treatments improved fruit quality through the storage period compared with untreated fruits. Treated lime fruits with Aloe vera gel (25%) + tea tree oil (1%) exhibited slight reductions in weight loss and juice weight compared to alternative treatments as an average of the two successive seasons. Simultaneously, this treatment improved fruit firmness, vitamin C levels, total phenols, total flavonoid, and total protein when contrasted with other treatments as an average of the two studied seasons. These findings show that the combination of Aloe vera gel and tea tree oil coatings enhances the shelf life and maintains the quality of lime fruits. They can also be used as an environmentally acceptable, chemical-free alternative treatment to preserve the postharvest quality of lime fruit.
