Expression of Concern: An Integrated SNP Mining and Utilization (ISMU) Pipeline for Next Generation Sequencing Data
Evaluating mobile app performance through sentiment analysis with SimCLR and MobileBERT
Mobile apps have significantly enhanced user engagement and convenience, providing seamless access to services anytime, anywhere. This paper presents a sentiment analysis (SA) model comprising SimCLR...
Generative adversarial networks for enhanced performance prediction of square CFST members under axial tension
Taking square concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members under axial tension as the research object, a three-dimensional mesoscopic finite element model was established based on the experimental res...
Expression of Concern: Genetic diversity and population structure of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) landraces grown in Benin revealed by Genotyping-By-Sequencing
Enhancing grid stability using dynamic reserve power point tracking techniques
Grid stability is of prime importance for grid-tied solar power systems as they are prone to power quality issues caused by the varying intensity of sun radiation and grid disturbances. To maintain gr...
Photo-thermoelastic diffusive waves with microconcentration in quantum-modified semiconductors
This study presents a general one-dimensional analysis of photo-thermoelastic diffusive wave propagation in quantum-modified semiconductor media that incorporates microconcentration effects. The model...
Identification of drug-related cardiovascular risks: A comprehensive analysis using the FAERS database (2004–2024)
Objective: This study aimed to analyze drug adverse events, identify high-risk medications associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and provide evidence for clinical medicatio...
Proteome analysis refines molecular processes underlying metamorphosis in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis
Tunicates, including ascidians, are recognized as the true ‘sister group’ of vertebrates and are emerging as models to study larval and post-larval development, including degeneration of central nervo...
Exploring the role of a participatory live music practice on nurses experienced levels of compassion satisfaction and fatigue: A mixed method study
Objective To explore nurses’ compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue in relation to a participatory live music practice, and to understand nurses’ own perspectives on this d...

Expression of Concern: Deciphering Transcriptional Programming during Pod and Seed Development Using RNA-Seq in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)
AgrOmicSo: A client-server interface for accessible large-scale analysis of next-generation sequencing data
The analysis of large-scale next-generation sequencing (NGS) data requires substantial computational power, often necessitating the use of high-performance computing (HPC) environments. However, the c...
Spatiotemporal characteristics and geophysical drivers of the fractal dimension and b-value in North China seismicity
The North China Craton Destruction Zone, one of continental China’s most seismically active regions, exhibits complex spatiotemporal seismicity patterns due to its intricate geology. Using the North C...
The effect of short stories on secondary school students’ reading comprehension skills and attitudes in Northwest Ethiopia
Background Reading comprehension is a critical skill for English as a foreign language learner. However, many Ethiopian secondary school students have been having trouble in readin...

Development of an exploratory prediction model for preoperative CK19 expression in esophageal cancer driven by radiomics and machine learning
Background Esophageal cancer ranks among the most lethal malignancies worldwide, particularly prevalent in the Guangdong–Chaoshan region of China due to regional dietary habits. Cy...
Real-time detection of extravasation events of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals in oncology
Background Radiopharmaceutical extravasation—when injected activity remains in soft tissue rather than entering the bloodstream—can compromise quantification in positron emission t...
Economic evaluation of sterilization reversal in infertility treatment: A systematic review
Objectives Although sterilization is intended to be permanent, some individuals later seek fertility. In such cases, options can be limited and financially burdensome. This review...
The politics of processed foods: Consumer perceptions of policies targeting ultra-processed foods
