Unravelling the influence of mixed layer depth on chlorophyll-a dynamics in the Red Sea
Primary production in highly stratified and oligotrophic tropical seas relies primarily on nutrient injections from a deepened mixed layer. The Red Sea, one of the warmest marine ecosystems on earth,...
Design of a novel tri-axis ZnO nanowires based piezoelectric accelerometer
Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) are pivotal in modern technology, serving as components like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure sensors in various applications. MEMS accelerometers are ke...

Lung cancer screening with volume computed tomography is cost-effective in Greece
Objective This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening (LCS) employing volume-based low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in contrast to the absence of screening, targeting...
Retraction: Distribution characteristics of insect diversity in long-term fixed monitoring plots in Northeast China
Two contemporaneous morphs of fossil Chanos Lacepède, 1803 (Gonorynchiformes, Chanidae) from Paleocene (Danian) outcrops near Palenque (Mexico) revealed by geometric morphometrics indicate conservatism in milkfishes after the K/Pg boundary
We described chanid material from the Paleocene (Danian) localities of División del Norte and Belisario Domínguez near the archeological site of Palenque, Chiapas State, southeastern Mexico. The parsi...

Study on the damage constitutive characteristics of coal-rock composites under uniaxial compression: Influence of prefabricated crack angle and geometric dimensions
In coal mining environments with complex topographic and geological conditions, the presence of primary cracks in the rock strata of the upper mining airspace is critical to mine safety, especially wh...
Exploring the placement of gambling problems within the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology
The placement of gambling problems within the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) framework, which organizes psychopathology alongside broad overarching symptom spectra, is unclear. With...
Novel non-synonymous and synonymous gene variants of SRD5A2 in patients with 46,XY-DSD and DSD-free subjects
SRD5A2 gene variants are associated with deficiency of steroid 5α-reductase type 2, which is an autosomal recessive disorder of sex development (DSD) present in 46,XY males with ambiguous genitalia. T...
Spatiotemporal feature learning for actin dynamics
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a standard model system for studying cell motility and formation of biological patterns. D. discoideum cells form protrusions and migrate via cytoskeletal...
Deaf children with cochlear implants in Chile: A national analysis of health determinants and outcomes in the Latin American context
Deafness from birth represents a critical challenge for children’s communication, with substantial public health considerations. One intervention has been cochlear implants (CI) for children with seve...
Screening musicality in children: Development and initial validation of a new tool for rapid assessment of musical profiles
