School absenteeism among children and adolescents aged 6–19 years with sickle cell disease in Uganda: A comparative cross-sectional study
Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) contributes substantially to school absenteeism due to recurrent pain, infections, and frequent hospital visits that interrupt learning and l...
Minimal mutational requirements for conversion of a telomere resolvase into a Cre-like site-specific recombinase
Hairpin telomere resolvases comprise a family of enzymes that produce the hairpin (hp) telomeres of bacteria and their phages that possess linear chromosomes and plasmids terminated by covalently clos...
Epidemiology and seasonal patterns of hospitalized dengue cases in Muscat Governorate, Oman (2022–2023): A retrospective study
This study describes the epidemiological, clinical, and seasonal characteristics of hospitalized dengue fever (DF) cases in Muscat Governorate, Oman (2022–2023) and identifies factors associated with...
Upstream migration capacity of Acrossocheilus fasciatus: Behavioral strategies in response to hydraulic conditions and implications for low-head weir design
Current fishway design guidelines are mostly derived from large anadromous fish species, with scarce species-specific data for small-bodied stream cyprinids such as Acrossocheilus...
The reinforcing effect of anti-caries treatments on acidic challenge resistance of irradiated enamel
Aim To investigate the effect of applying the following anticaries treatments on the surface microhardness (SMH) of irradiated enamel after pH-cycling: Nanohydroxyapatite (nano-HA)...
A grasp point generation algorithm for waste handling based on a generative reasoning network
In the process of urban kitchen waste sorting, robots often encounter issues such as slipping and empty grabs when attempting to grasp dirty waste objects like plastic bottles and glass bottles. This...
