    Abstract Cancer is becoming a global pandemic, and its occurrence is increasing rapidly, putting a strain on people's families, health systems, and finances, in addition to their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Many cancer types lack screening programs, and many people at high risk of developing cancer do not follow recommended medical screening regimens because of the nature of currently available screening tests and other compliance issues, despite cancer being the second leading cause of death worldwide. Furthermore, a lot of liquid biopsy methods for early cancer screening are not sensitive enough to catch cancer early. Cancer treatment costs increase with the time it takes to diagnose the disease; therefore, early detection is essential to enhance the quality of life and survival rates. The current status of the liquid biopsy sector is examined in this paper.

    Abstract Cooperation is essential for all domains of life. Yet, ironically, it is intrinsically vulnerable to exploitation by cheats. Hence, an explanatory necessity spurs many evolutionary biologists to search for mechanisms that could support cooperation. In general, cooperation can emerge and be maintained when cooperators are sufficiently interacting with themselves. This communication provides a kind of assortment and reciprocity. The most crucial and common mechanisms to achieve that task are kin selection, spatial structure, and enforcement (punishment). Here, we used agent-based simulation models to investigate these pivotal mechanisms against conditional defector strategies. We concluded that the latter could easily violate the former and take over the population. This surprising outcome may urge us to rethink the evolution of cooperation, as it illustrates that maintaining cooperation may be more difficult than previously thought. Moreover, empirical applications may support these theoretical findings, such as invading the cooperator population of pathogens by genetically engineered conditional defectors, which could be a potential therapy for many incurable diseases.

    Abstract The effect of technology has caused many institutions to intend to change their approach to teaching and learning, resulting in the current model of teaching and learning being an active collaborative and self-directed one. The connection between education and technology has received attention as part of educational policy and practice. Debatable topics like how to use technology in the classroom have therefore punctuated complaints about declining educational standards, unemployed learners, duplicate curricula, and archaic institutional structure. In the framework of information and communication technologies and societal growth, the Internet of Things (IoT) is asserting its vital position. Institutions may improve learning outcomes with the use of the Internet of Things by offering enhanced learning experiences, increasing operational effectiveness, and collecting real-time, actionable insight into student performance. The current state of the Internet of Educational Things (IoET) is examined from several educational perspectives in this article; a few of them are highlighted, and both of their established and potential educational benefits are discussed. Additionally, it provides in-depth discussions on current issues and problems for the IoET from a variety of approaches. The investigation performs a bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer to focus on peer-reviewed research articles published in well-known publications databases over the past eight (8) years. The findings of this study should also act as a strong incentive for universities and colleges around the world to use IoT-based teaching and learning technology for improved academic achievement.

    Abstract In this study, the potential of float hydroculture for the acclimatization of in vitro plantlets of two wild pear types (Pyrus elaeagrifolia Pall.) and Old Home x Farmingdale 333 (OHxF 333) pear rootstock (P. communis L.) was investigated. The wild pear types are obtained from our dwarf clone rootstock breeding program and are resistant to drought and chlorosis stresses. In vitro plantlets were generated by rooting micro cuttings with 250 mg L– ¹ IBA by quick-dip method for 10 s under aseptic conditions. After this treatment, the micro cuttings were cultured on MS basal medium with ½ strength of macro and micro elements without growth regulators for 4 weeks. The cultures were incubated in the dark for the first 5 days. For acclimatization by float hydroculture, in vitro plantlets were placed in the cells of a styrofoam tray on plastic tubs (25 cm x 25 cm x 12 cm) filled with tap water. The water was not replaced during acclimatization. The float hydrocultures were incubated for 4 weeks in a climate room at 25±2 °C with 16 h light (35 μmol∙m– ²∙s– ¹) and 8 h dark photoperiod for 4 weeks. At the end of this period, the percentage of viable plantlets removed from float hydroculture was 84.0%, 62.7% and 64.7% in OHxF 333, AH-32 and AH-75, respectively. These percentages are quite high in wild pear types that could not acclimatize to external conditions with known methods. There was no significant difference between leaf mesophyll thickness of Pyrus plantlets removed from float hydroculture and the mature plants in the orchard. These values varied between 153.0 ± 18.2 µm and 202.4 ± 4.8 µm. In conclusion, float hydroculture is identified as an easy and successful acclimatization technique for genotypes that are particularly difficult to acclimatize in vitro plantlets such as wild pear types.

    Abstract Introduction: Non-US international medical graduates (IMG) represent a gradually increasing portion of emergency medicine (EM) residents in the United States. Yet there are no previous studies that explore the needs of this learner population. We conducted a qualitative study to examine non-US IMGs' perceptions of challenges they face specifically regarding team dynamics during their first year of an EM residency.
    Method: Nine non-US IMGs in EM from all over the US participated in anonymous, semi-structured phone interviews lasting 45-60 minutes. We then coded and analyzed the interviews to identify axes and themes using an inductive approach informed by grounded theory. Focused coding and member checking were employed.
    Results: Non-US IMGs' perceptions of challenges regarding team dynamics during their first year of an EM residency coalesced into two themes: system-based challenges, such as a new power dynamic and understanding the local hospital system, and interpersonal challenges, such as establishing rapport and articulation of critical thinking.
    Conclusion: Non-US IMGs perceived several unique challenges regarding team dynamics during their first year of an EM residency, whether system-based or interpersonal-based. We propose solutions such as a transitional curriculum (as suggested by the participants as well) and cultural-competence training for academic leadership.

    Abstract Underbalanced foam drilling stands out as a drilling technique acclaimed for its capacity to enhance safety and efficiency in operations. Utilizing foams as drilling fluids offers several benefits over traditional methods, including lower density, diminished formation damage, and augmented borehole stability. However, the persistent challenge of sustaining foam stability in demanding conditions, particularly amid elevated water salinity and alkaline environments, remains a critical issue. Current literature lacks comprehensive insights into foam stability under such specific circumstances, raising concerns about the practicality of numerous reported foaming agents in field applications. This study aims to fill this knowledge void to align with industry standards. With a heightened focus on sustainability due to mounting environmental considerations, the research explores the use of an eco-friendly surfactant, ammonium alcohol ether sulfate (AAES). Additionally, the investigation delves into the impact of environmentally friendly drilling additives-polyanionic cellulose (PAC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and starch-on the stability of bulk foam under mildly alkaline conditions. Employing a dynamic foam analyzer, diverse foam properties of AAES foams were assessed, encompassing stability, foamability, and bubble structure. The results demonstrated that the optimal concentrations of the tested additives, in the order of PAC > CMC > starch, significantly prolonged the half-life of the AAES foam bubbles. The introduction of PAC and CMC additives elevated the viscosity of AAES foaming solutions, enhancing the liquid retention within the foam structure. In contrast, starch addition exerted no influence on the solution viscosity and did not impede liquid drainage, although it did reduce bubble coalescence. Furthermore, the PAC- and CMC-based AAES foams manifested as considerably wetter foams with a rounded bubble structure, while the starch-based AAES foam exhibited a dry foam characterized by a distinct polyhedral bubble structure. These findings offer valuable insights into the potential application of the AAES surfactant in foam drilling, showcasing its efficacy in improving foam stability and contributing to the evolution of eco-friendly drilling practices.

    Abstract Recently, the integrated different interdisciplinary studies derived the environmental solutions of the climate change impacts (e.g., cultivation, wastewater treatment, and managing groundwater resources) (Mesalhy et al. 2020, and Gobashy et al. 2021). Thus, this paper focused on the application of bioremediation to maximize the use of wastewater for new reclamation areas in the Northwest Egyptian desert (New Egyptian Delta (NED). In the NED project, the drainage water samples collected from Nile Delta drains will provide the main unconventional water resources for irrigation through the new Hammam canal. Therefore, three Pleurotus strains were grown moderately on two natural media, the first containing Salvia L. (sage) extract (MDA) and the second containing Thymus vulgaris L. (origanum thymus Kuntze, Thymus collinus Salisb) (TDA) extract replacing potato infusions in standard PDA. Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacquin; Kummer) strain records the highest growth among the three tested fungi on modified media. PO records 4.49 and 4.41 cm on (MDA) and (TDA), respectively. There is a marked decrease in the majority of heavy metal concentrations on sterile drainage water amended with PD broth and inoculated with three tested Pleurotus strains individually. At the end of the incubation period, Pleurotus ostereatus which expressed in abbreviation (PO) are more efficient in the removal of Al, Co, Cr, and Ni by 53.15, 95.87, 58.47, and 85.07%; respectively. Pleurorotus pulmonarius (Fr.) which symbolized (PP) is more potent in the removal of Cd, Si, Sn, Sr, and V by 70.37, 56.59, 41.19, 52.78, and 96.24%; respectively. Pleurotus floridanus (NZOR) which indicated as (PF) is actively over the former species in the removal of Ba, Fe, and Mo by 87.84, 46.67, and 97.34%; respectively. Cu, Mn, Pb, As, and Se could not be detected as the control sample recorded measurements below 0.009 mg L
