Free Energy Projective Simulation (FEPS): Active inference with interpretability
In the last decade, the free energy principle (FEP) and active inference (AIF) have achieved many successes connecting conceptual models of learning and cognition to mathematical models of perception...
Determining minimal inhibitory concentrations and antibiotic susceptibility for Enterobacterales by flow cytometry using reactive oxygen species as a marker
Early appropriate antibiotic treatment is vital in reducing patient mortality. However, current antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) requires 16–24 hours of incubation, delaying appropriate anti...
A novel sulfamoylphenyl-dihydro-thiadiazole derivative as a dual EGFR and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor for cancer therapy
A novel sulfamoylphenyl-dihydro-thiadiazole derivative (compound 14) has been designed and synthesized as a dual inhibitor targeting EGFR and human carbonic anhydrases (hCA_IX and hCA_XII). Computatio...
Revenge or collusion? An experiment on payoff subtraction and addition in team contests
Group competition is prevalent in contemporary society. In this paper, we focus on the effects of payoff subtraction (revenge) and payoff addition (collusion) on expenditures in team competitions. Alt...
The relation between sensation seeking, aggression and self-confidence with Needle stick and Sharp injuries among nurses
Background One of the most important occupational injuries experienced by nurses is needle sticks. The causes and factors of needle sticks are not fully known. This study was conducted with the aim of...

Comparison of early and intermediate-term outcomes between hybrid arch debranching and total arch replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis of propensity-matched studies
Objectives To systematically review propensity score-matched studies comparing hybrid arch repair (HAR) with total arch replacement (TAR) for aortic arch pathologies, summarizing early outcomes and in...
Evaluation of a digital health platform for preventing stroke in the Australian community: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial – Love Your Brain
Rationale One in four people will have a stroke in their lifetime. Over 80% of strokes are preventable through the management of modifiable risk factors. There is a growing demand from the community f...

Bearing fault diagnosis based on Kepler algorithm and attention mechanism
As a crucial component in rotating machinery, bearings are prone to varying degrees of damage in practical application scenarios. Therefore, studying the fault diagnosis of bearings is of great signif...
Visual complexity of dental intake forms and its association with dental treatment outcomes: A retrospective cohort study
Background While many factors influence dental treatment outcomes, the visual characteristics of intake forms—such as the amount of handwriting—remain largely unexplored. Clinical impressions suggest...
DiffDesign: Controllable diffusion with meta prior for efficient interior design generation
Interior design is a complex and creative discipline involving aesthetics, functionality, ergonomics, and materials science. Effective solutions must meet diverse requirements, typically producing mul...
Assessing the connectivity value of roadway structures for terrestrial mammals across the Northern Appalachian forest of Vermont
Landscape connectivity is often negatively impacted by road networks that fragment habitat and result in genetic and demographic consequences for wildlife. Existing roadway structures like bridges, cu...
YOLO-ED: An efficient lung cancer detection model based on improved YOLOv8
In recent years, You Only Look Once (YOLO) models have gradually been applied to medical image object detection tasks due to their good scalability and excellent generalization performance, bringing n...
A robot scheduling method based on rMAPPO for H-beam riveting and welding work cell
The H-beam riveting and welding work cell is an automated unit used for processing H-beams. By coordinating the gripping and welding robots, the work cell achieves processes such as riveting and weldi...

DKCDC: A clustering algorithm focusing on genuine boundary search for regional division
The majority of existing clustering algorithms, including those algorithms that focus on boundary detection, seldom account for the reasonableness and genuineness of boundaries, consequently, it is di...
GDNF receptor GFRα1 is necessary for the maintenance of dopaminergic neurons in the adult substantia nigra
GFRα1 and Ret are the two necessary components of the receptor for GDNF, a neurotrophic factor discovered in the early 1990’s for its ability to support the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons,...
Effects of chewing on postural learning: An experimental pre-post intervention study
In 16 healthy volunteers (age 42–69 years, 8 females) we investigated chewing effects on postural learning. Initially, the Centre of Pressure (CoP) position in bipedal stance was recorded (1 minute) i...
Public perception and changing attitudes toward antidepressants over a decade in social media: Lessons learned from online discussion using artificial intelligence
