Assessing the monthly performance of daily precipitation products over Southeast Asia using the gauge-based analysis
Accurate precipitation data is essential for understanding land surface processes and the hydrological cycle, particularly in Southeast Asia (SEA), where precipitation patterns are influenced by compl...
Can digital governance promote urban energy conservation and emission reduction? A quasi-natural experiment based on “National Pilot Policy of Information Benefiting the People” in China
The digital transformation of government is an important path to achieve the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. In recent years, the “National Pilot Policy of Inf...
Patterns and temporal trends in canine breakage and scarring in Western Hudson Bay polar bears (Ursus maritimus)
Canines are used by carnivores for prey capture and social interactions but are often damaged. The highly carnivorous polar bear (Ursus maritimus) has a female defence polygyny mating system where mal...
Association of middle cerebral artery aneurysms and variation of the A1 segment
Objective The disturbance of blood flow caused by variations in the circle of Willis is an important factor in the occurrence and development of aneurysms. Previous studies have confirmed that a fetal...

A comparative study between Near-Infrared (NIR) spectrometer and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) on the sensitivity and specificity
It is estimated that 10.5% of medicines in low- and middle-income countries are substandard or falsified (SF), causing approximately 1 million deaths annually. Over the past two decades, there have be...
Accounting for the gross ecosystem product (GEP) of forests in nature reserves—taking the Taishan Scenic and Historic Spot as an example
How to measure the economic value of forest ecosystems is an important research topic for sustainable development. Existing quantitative systems for ecosystem values were compared and analyzed on the...
Advancing sustainability in urban transportation: A solar-powered metro rail system
This study demonstrates that solar power integration in metro rail systems is feasible to enhance urban sustainability. Solar-powered metro rail systems provide a sustainable alternative to convention...
The role of TyG index as a predictor of all-cause mortality in hospitalized patients with acute pancreatitis: a retrospective study utilizing the MIMIC-IV database
Background The TyG index is widely recognized as a reliable indicator for cardiovascular disease risk and as a biomarker for assessing insulin resistance(IR). However, its significance in the context...
Personal Listening device (PLD) usage among University Students and their audiometric profile during the shift to online learning post COVID-19
As the online learning increases post COVID-19 and in corresponding to the rise in the personal listening devices use, the present study aims to describe personal listening device (PLD) usage and audi...
Navigating the unstructured by evaluating alphafold’s efficacy in predicting missing residues and structural disorder in proteins
The study investigated regions with undefined structures, known as “missing” segments in X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) data, by assessing their predicted structural conf...
In vitro cellular interaction of drug-loaded liposomes with 2D and 3D cell culture of U87-MG cell line
The distinctive physiological and physical properties of 3D cultures that mimic tumor microenvironments in vivo make them more suitable for assessing the efficacy of drugs and nanoparticles compared t...
Clinical characteristics, antimicrobial resistance, and mortality of neonatal bloodstream infections in Northern Tanzania, 2022–2023
Neonatal bloodstream infections (BSI) make a substantial contribution to morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), but data on the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance...
Oncosis is the predominant type of cell death in rhabdomyolysis following exertional heat stroke
Background Rhabdomyolysis (RM), particularly heat exhaustion-associated rhabdomyolysis (ehsRM), is a significant clinical issue associated with high mortality and healthcare costs. However, the cellu...
