Machinability enhancement of heat-treated Incoloy 800H during turning using laser-textured carbide inserts under semi-solid MoS₂ lubrication
Incoloy 800H is an iron–nickel–chromium based superalloy widely used in high-temperature applications, but its poor machinability due to rapid work hardening and low thermal conductivity makes machini...
Correction: Microbial diversity of coastal microbial mats formations in karstic habitats from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
S100A4-lineage cells contribute modestly to angiotensin II-mediated thoracic aortic aneurysms through angiotensin II type 1a receptor in mice
Angiotensin II (AngII) exerts a critical role in thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) formation via AngII type 1a receptor (AT1aR). However, the principal cell type mediating this process remains unclear. O...
Household air pollution is associated with disease severity in Ugandan children hospitalized with hypoxemic pneumonia
Background Household air pollution (HAP) due to biomass fuel use is a risk factor for childhood pneumonia, a leading cause of under-five mortality globally. This study examined the...
Analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as prognostic factor in triple-negative breast cancer: A protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis
Purpose Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women worldwide, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases and nearly 670,000 deaths reported in 2022. The absence of h...
From concrete to canopy: Illuminating moth biodiversity in New York City’s urban jungle
Moths (Lepidoptera) are sensitive to anthropogenic threats and serve as valuable bioindicators. Despite the remarkable diversity and abundance of Lepidoptera globally, there is a lack of information o...
Study on hydration characteristics and micromechanical properties of illite based on molecular dynamics
This study focuses on the water absorption process of illite, a heavy clay mineral of oil shale, and its related physical, chemical and mechanical properties. The interaction between water and illite...

The urban green carbon index (UGCI): A spatial framework for suggesting urban carbon management
Enhancing carbon (C) sequestration in urban green spaces is essential for urban carbon neutrality; yet the spatial heterogeneity and structural complexity of urban landscapes hinder the development of...
Searching for rich stories in Rich Pictures: Analysing visual stories about living with cancer
Stories play an important role in making meaning of illness experiences and (re)establishing self-identity. Yet, telling and investigating stories about living with incurable cancer may be challenging...
Collection of autologous CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in multiple myeloma: CD34 + cell collection yield in relation to molecular subtype, karyotype, and FISH results
Background Autologous stem cell transplantation remains a cornerstone of treatment for patients with transplant-eligible multiple myeloma (MM). Previous studies using gene expressi...
Distributed denial of service detection and mitigation in software-defined networking-enabled software-defined wide area networks
Software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), empowered by software-defined networking (SDN) technology, offer unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in wireless communication. However, their integra...
