Association of nurse-led targeted sedation-analgesia management with ventilation duration and sedation quality in mechanically ventilated patients
Purpose Variability in sedation–analgesia assessment and titration is common in mechanically ventilated ICU patients and may contribute to unnecessary deep sedation and delayed ven...
A role for nucleosome remodellers during resection of deprotected telomeres in yeast
DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway choice is strongly influenced by DNA end resection, a process in which the 5′ DNA strand is degraded to generate 3′ single-stranded DNA required for homolo...
Bioinformatics analysis reveals the association of bile acid metabolism-related genes with sepsis
Background Sepsis, is a life-threatening syndrome triggered by infection. Bile acid metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis, the underlying association has not yet...
Benefits of hypocrisy: Do managers gain more from greenwashing
This study finds that corporate greenwashing raises executive compensation. Mechanism analysis indicates that greenwashing enhances executive compensation by improving short-term performance and enhan...
Exploring the predictability of distributed lag nonlinear models using SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance in multiple communities in Alberta, Canada

Edge-intelligent safelink-V2X: A low-latency cooperative framework for real-time vulnerable road user protection
The protection of Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) remains a major challenge in modern transportation safety, as onboard line-of-sight and adverse weather conditions limit conventional onboard sensors. Ex...
A late fusion multi-task learning for respiratory waveform and rate estimation from photoplethysmography
Continuous respiratory monitoring enables early detection of physiological deterioration, yet conventional capnography remains impractical for prolonged use. Photoplethysmography (PPG) offers a non-in...
The impact of transparency and imitation over complex networks in strategic classification
Classification algorithms are widely used in critical domains such as healthcare, bank loans, credit and fraud detection. These systems should be transparent, yet it remains unclear how individuals wi...
