Optimized selection of clean nitrogen fertilizers for high-sediment water pressure-compensating drip irrigation systems based on system failure perspective

Agricultural Water Management
High-sediment water pressure-compensating drip irrigation (PCDI) has become a widely adopted technique for perennial crops, such as mountain fruit trees, in response to agricultural irrigation water shortages.

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.

Clogging Patterns of Urban Road Storm-Water Inlets Caused by Floating Debris

Renmin Zhujiang
To investigate the impact of different floating debris on the drainage performance of urban pipe network system systems, this study conducted a series of physical model tests based on slope experiments by considering the drainage process of the pipe ...

Experimental study on the mechanism and active prevention and control of crystalline clogging in tunnel drainage systems in limestone areas

Frontiers in Materials
The tunnel drainage system in limestone areas is highly susceptible to calcium carbonate crystallization clogging, which abnormally increases pore water pressure and threatens structural safety.

Determinants of Body Mass Index in Early Systemic Sclerosis: Implications for Nutritional Risk Stratification

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement can lead to malnutrition in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Body mass index (BMI) remains the most widely used marker to screen nutritional status. We aimed to identify predictors of lower BMI in patients with SSc. Methods Patients with SSc from a prospective US cohort meeting 2013 American College of

A Novel Permeability–Tortuosity–Porosity Model for Evolving Pore Space and Mineral-Induced Clogging in Porous Medium

Geotechnics
Hydrogeochemical processes contribute to long-term alterations in key physical properties of a porous medium, including porosity, tortuosity, and permeability, making it essential to understand their evolution and address clogging-dominated problems in ...

SENSITIVITY ANALYSES OF A MULTIPHYSICS LONG-TERM CLOGGING MODEL FOR STEAM GENERATORS

International Journal for Uncertainty Quantification
Long-term operation of nuclear steam generators can result in the occurrence of clogging, a deposition phenomenon that may increase the risk of mechanical and vibration loadings on tube bundles and internal structures, as well as potentially affecting their response to hypothetical accidental transients.

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X‐linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS) syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures.

An Experimental Study of the Frictional Behavior at the Interface Soil-Structure with Regards to Wall Friction Effect and Clogging Related to Surface Roughness Form

Civil and Environmental Engineering
The interactions between soil-structure are largely governed by the shear strength at the soil-structure interface, particularly in situations involving large displacements, known as shear residual strength.

Short‐term response to biologic therapy in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is not influenced by disease duration at initiation of therapy

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives We aimed to determine whether the short‐term response to biologics in biologic‐naïve psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is better in patients initiating biologic treatment early in the disease course. Methods PsA patients who started biologic therapy from the year 2000 to 2025 were included for analysis. Patients considered in the early treatment (ET)
