Equilibration, a critical phase in cryopreservation, allows sperm cells to adapt to cryoprotective agents (CPAs) before freezing. This study investigated the impact of extended equilibration durations on the quality of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa. Semen samples from five healthy Merino rams were pooled, extended with a Tris-based extender, and equilibrated for 3 h (control), 24, 48, or 72 h. post-equilibration and post-thaw...

Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) and crop coefficients (K c ) is critical for irrigation planning, particularly in data‐limited regions where agriculture dominates freshwater consumption. Although machine learning (ML) methods have been widely applied to ET 0 and K c estimation, most studies address these parameters separately or focus on a single seasonal K c value rather than stage‐specific coeffic...

This study evaluates the quality of materials in reinforced concrete buildings and their compliance with relevant legislation and earthquake codes. In this scope, field observations of collapsed 400 reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman, Hatay and Gaziantep provinces, which are among the provinces affected by the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, were conducted, general information and official documents about...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe and often catastrophic gastrointestinal emergency that predominantly affects neonates, especially those born prematurely, and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite its significant clinical impact, the precise etiology and molecular pathogenesis of NEC remain incompletely understood. In this study, we conducted global transcriptomic profiling using high-thr...

One of the major consequences of diabetes mellitus that has gained attention due to its rising incidence is cognitive impairment. Recent research suggested that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors can mitigate memory impairment linked to Alzheimer’s disease and are now being explored for their cognitive benefits. However, their mechanisms were not thoroughly studied. This research investigates the hypothesis of...

3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) is a member of the group of pollutants known as chloropropanols and is considered a genotoxic carcinogen. Due to the occurrence of 3-MCPD, which cannot be avoided in multiplexed food processes, it is necessary to explore novel agents to reduce or prevent the toxicity of 3-MCPD. Many recent studies on boron compounds reveal their superior biological roles such as antioxidant, anticancer, and an...
