Interoception, personality, and internet use: Preliminary insights into their association
Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is increasingly recognized as a concern among internet users, prompting investigations into the factors that may predispose individuals to PIU. Interoceptive awareness,...
Constitutive relationship between pore-permeability and molecular structure of bituminous coal based on the Kozeny-Carman equation
The cell structure of three different densities of bituminous coal molecules was modeled and optimized by using Material Studio (MS) to reveal the mathematical relationship between the porosity and pe...
Heart rate turbulence in type 2 diabetes mellitus with chronic kidney disease
Objective Heart rate turbulence (HRT), a test quantified by turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS), has been used to assess cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN). CAN is a complication of chroni...
