Abstract Standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can perform poorly in AI for IT Operations (AIOps) settings because it is topology-blind. Basic RAG retrieves isolated, flat text snippets without enforcing structural or causal constraints, causing large language models to generate explanations that contradict the running system’s actual dependency structure. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review following PRISMA 2020, searching Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, and Google Scholar (last searched 31 January 2026). We included empirical or systems-oriented studies applying graph-based retrieval to ground a generative model in an IT, cloud, or software-operations setting, and… More >

Abstract Backgrounds: Despite the availability of multimodal strategies, no universally accepted guidelines exist for the management of advanced Thymic Epithelial Tumors (TETs), particularly in locally advanced thymomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncological and surgical outcomes of induction therapy (IT) followed by surgery in patients with Masaoka–Koga stage III–IVA TETs. To this end, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing surgical-pathological and survival outcomes. Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was performed.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This systematic review critically evaluates the mechanical performance, durability, processing routes, and industrial applicability of sisal fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in relation to their readiness for wider engineering and industrial implementation. The review analyzes and summarizes science articles published 2020, 2025 to identify the performance trends, technical limitations, and techno, economic constraints influencing the application of these composites. A PRISMA, based approach was implemented, which included systematic searches of Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar by using pre, set keywords, inclusion criteria, and clear screening procedures, to ensure reproducibility and quality control.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Increasing population pressure and growing constraints on cultivable land and water resources necessitate improving resource use efficiency through the adoption of advanced and efficient agricultural technologies. With finite resources and a growing global population, agriculture has become increasingly essential as a source of food, fiber, and livestock. Due to their eco-friendly nature, the integration of crop improvement strategies with nanotechnology and plant biostimulants (PB) plays an important role in the development of smart and sustainable agriculture. Improved agricultural techniques have the potential to transform agricultural systems, and as a result, could be a viable option… More >

Abstract Background: Concealed penis (CP) is a common congenital condition in pediatric urology, and surgical correction remains the mainstay of treatment. The modified Devine procedure (MDP) has been increasingly used, but its comparative safety and effectiveness relative to the traditional Devine procedure (TDP) remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the MDP with the TDP for the treatment of pediatric CP. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 and AMSTAR guidelines. Prospective, retrospective, and randomized controlled studies comparing MDP and TDP for pediatric CP… More >

Abstract Objectives: Testicular torsion is the most common surgical cause of an acute scrotum. Manuel detorsion renewed attention as a practical initial treatment, particularly in the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the current literature to determine whether manual detorsion offers a viable alternative to immediate surgery in improving testicular salvage rates. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251039489). Studies including ≥30 male patients comparing manual detorsion and surgical exploration were included. Searches were performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, TR Index, and… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Background: The evolution of modern networked systems in complexity, volume, and diversity has markedly increased the cyber-attack area. Conventional signature-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) will no longer be adequate for identifying advanced threats. A data-driven, adaptive approach that can identify malicious network activity is provided by machine learning (ML) techniques. This review aims to study, compare, and analyze ML-based approaches in IDS and improve the security defense mechanism. Methods: This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. ML-based IDS peer-reviewed papers were identified from five scientific databases. Abstracts, full texts, and titles were filtered using… More >

Abstract The global transition toward sustainable energy systems underscores the strategic importance of methane (CH₄)–carbon dioxide (CO₂) mixtures in cryogenic applications. In Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) processing and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) networks, such mixtures are routinely exposed to low-temperature environments where phase stability becomes critical. Under these conditions, the unintended formation of solid CO₂ (dry ice) within pipelines poses significant engineering challenges, including flow blockage and potential equipment damage. Ensuring flow assurance therefore demands a rigorous understanding of the coupling between thermodynamic phase transitions and complex hydrodynamic behavior. This paper presents a comprehensive review of More >

Abstract The rapid growth of phishing attempts in the enterprise could potentially lead to bankruptcy. The primary focus of the research is on detecting phishing attacks, with no interest in how the data is processed. Attackers use fraudulent methods to obtain valuable, confidential information, resulting in billions of dollars in financial losses for enterprises. In our review, we examined the methods used in phishing-detection studies. We concluded that the two main sections, centralized and decentralized methods, were the centralized ones, which aggregate data in a central server and thus violate data protection regulations, such as GDPR.… More >

Abstract Objectives: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for approximately 15% of all invasive breast cancers and is characterized by aggressive behavior, limited therapeutic options, and poor clinical outcomes. Due to the absence of hormone receptors and HER2 expression, systemic treatment relies predominantly on chemotherapy, which is associated with high rates of early recurrence and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the microbiome can contribute to TNBC progression and influence therapeutic response, particularly affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy through immune-mediated mechanisms; however, its role in TNBC remains incompletely understood. This systematic review aims to explore… More >
