Correcting droplet–flame interactions in an artificially thickened turbulent lifted flame

This study employs Large Eddy Simulations of a turbulent n-heptane spray flame to demonstrate that a projection-based correction strategy for artificially thickened flames offers superior theoretical consistency and experimental agreement compared to standard methods in predicting droplet evaporation and flame structure.

Comparison of Novel Visceral Adiposity Indices with Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference in diabetes prediction: Findings from STEPS survey 2021, Iran

Based on data from the 2021 Iran STEPS survey, this study demonstrates that the Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) and Waist Circumference (WC) exhibit superior discriminatory ability for diabetes compared to Body Mass Index (BMI) and other novel visceral adiposity indices, particularly among women, rural residents, and individuals under 60 years of age.

Phagosomal acidification coordinates a lipid–redox program underlying antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

This study reveals that phagosomal acidification in macrophages drives a lipid–redox program that promotes antibiotic tolerance in *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*, and demonstrates that chloroquine-mediated alkalinization disrupts this pathway to enhance bacterial clearance when combined with standard antibiotics.

Gravitational wave radiation from periodic orbits around a noncommutative-inspired black hole surrounded by quintessence

This paper investigates gravitational wave emission from periodic orbits around a noncommutative-inspired black hole surrounded by quintessence, demonstrating that the noncommutative and quintessence parameters significantly alter orbital dynamics and produce detectable millihertz-frequency waveforms accessible to space-based observatories like LISA.

Humic Substances Modulate the Seedling–Saline Substrate System in Papaya Cultivation

This study demonstrates that applying humic substances effectively mitigates salt stress in papaya seedlings by enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, membrane stability, and substrate nutrient availability, thereby improving overall growth and seedling quality under saline irrigation conditions.

A Promiscuous Bacillus Esterase Reveals a Carboxylesterase Blueprint for PET Intermediate Degradation

This study characterizes BhEstB, a highly promiscuous *Bacillus halotolerans* esterase that, despite lacking typical PET-binding motifs and showing modest bulk polymer activity, exhibits exceptional efficiency in degrading PET intermediates (BHET and MHET), thereby establishing a new structural blueprint for enzymes transitioning from intermediate processing to true polymer degradation.

Hemodynamic Mechanisms of Pressure Responsiveness and Performance of Traditional Predictors During Kidney Transplantation

This retrospective study of kidney transplant recipients found that traditional predictors like stroke volume variation and dynamic arterial elastance have limited accuracy in forecasting fluid and pressure responsiveness, respectively, while revealing that successful pressure increases rely on distinct hemodynamic pathways involving effective arterial elastance rather than just fluid-induced flow changes.
