Kinetic modelling reveals the presence of multistability in normal and stressful conditions in translational initiation mechanism
Protein synthesis involves translation initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosome recycling, and each step is controlled intricately by many signaling proteins. Translation initiation can be co...
Overconfidence, financial literacy, and panic selling: Evidence from Japan
This study investigates the phenomenon of panic selling, in which investors rapidly sell financial securities due to fear or uncertainty, often causing asset prices to plummet. Despite the significanc...
Characteristics of guided modes in graphene-coated chiral nihility fibers
In this paper, guided modes in isotropic chiral nihility metamaterial fibers coated with graphene layers supported by conventional dielectric material are studied theoretically. Kubo formalism is appl...
Enhancement of Harbin ice and snow tourism destination competitiveness: A large-scale data study based on sentiment analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation
In recent years, the ice and snow tourism industry has exhibited a concurrent state of vigorous expansion and intense rivalry. Strengthening competitiveness is of paramount significance for attaining...
Is there anything good about conspiracy beliefs? Belief in COVID-19 conspiracy theories is associated with benefits to well-being
Recent theorizing suggests that people gravitate toward conspiracy theories during difficult times because such beliefs promise to alleviate threats to psychological motives. Surprisingly, however, pr...
Event-triggered iterative learning control for output constrained multi-agent systems
An event-triggered iterative learning consensus tracking control strategy is proposed for output constrained nonlinear discrete-time multi-agent systems. Firstly, the estimated Pseudo partial derivati...

Predictors of interruptions in antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV in Nigeria: a retrospective cohort study using the Nigeria national data repository
This study aimed to identify predictors of time to first interruption in treatment (IIT) and predictors of ever being interrupted in ART treatment among PLHIV in Nigeria using a national longitudinal...
Spatial analysis of unimproved drinking water source in East Africa: Using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 2012–2023
Background According to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, unimproved drinking water sources include unprotected wells and springs, surface water (e.g., rivers, lakes), vendor-provided water,...
Single-image dehazing method based on Rayleigh Scattering and adaptive color compensation
We propose a Rayleigh Scattering and adaptive color compensation method. It capitalizes on the brightness and color differentials between the regions where DCP has failed within images for effective r...
Effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) vaccine against the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 among adults aged 50 and above: A case-control study in Lebanon, June 2022
The emergence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the subsequent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with the continuous evolution of the virus into...

Linear regression reporting practices for health researchers, a cross-sectional meta-research study
Background Decisions about health care, such as the effectiveness of new treatments for disease, are regularly made based on evidence from published work. However, poor reporting o...
Long-term effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on the structural and functional outcomes of neovascular AMD patients in Suzhou, China
Background Timely anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is essential for visual function in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The coronavirus pandemic has led to u...
Aggressive surgical approach with major vascular resection for retroperitoneal sarcomas
Background En bloc resection of adjacent structures, including major vessels, is often required to achieve negative margins in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). However, the effect of vascular involvemen...
How limited cognitive resources impact the attentional effects of self-talk: An eye-tracking study in dart
The study aimed to investigate whether self-talk could enhance participants’ motor performance and attention, even in the presence of distracting interferences and while experiencing ego depletion. To...
