The impact of climate and vegetation on the riverside architecture of the Brazilian Amazon
Abstract This research aimed to investigate the impact of vegetation conservation on the local climate and architectural production of two riverside communities in one of the capital...
Effect of massed versus distributed preclinical training on subgingival instrumentation skill across the preclinical-to-clinical transition
Abstract Consolidation of preclinical subgingival instrumentation skills during early clinical exposure is poorly quantified, especially after the new German dental licensing regulat...
Infrared thermal imaging to determine temperature parameters of dengue vector habitats across ecological regions of Nepal: a pilot feasibility study
Abstract Dengue is a major vector-borne disease in Nepal, driven by container-breeding Aedes mosquitoes that thrive in do...
Texture analysis on muscle T2 maps can reveal changes in upper trapezius muscles related to primary headache disorders
Abstract Migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) are highly prevalent primary headache disorders. Neck pain is common among patients with migraine or TTH, but o...
The phenology of the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) and its environmental drivers
Abstract The European flat oyster ( Ostrea edulis ) is an ecosystem engineer that structures reef habitats and is a major...
Seasonality of acute kidney injury incidence in Japanese outpatients
Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically important condition associated with adverse outcomes. While community-acquired AKI is common, its seasonal pat...
Expertise-driven differences in drummers’ wrist-muscle motor unit behaviour
Blood DNA methylation at AMD candidate loci in discordant monozygotic twins
Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of visual impairment in older adults, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing...
A deep reinforcement learning account of competition and integration of visual and goal vector signals for spatial navigation
Abstract Integrating different sources of information is essential to successful spatial navigation. For instance, animals often rely on a combination of visual impressions, self-mot...
Modeling ultrafast laser excitation of fused silica with a hybrid Lorentz–Drude dielectric response and density-dependent two-temperature model
Abstract Ultrashort laser excitation of dielectric materials is governed by a complex interplay between nonlinear photoexcitation, transient optical response, an...
LIR-Mamba: consolidating YOLO and selective SSM with global-local scanning for robust infrared small target detection under laser interference
Explainable deep learning for early sepsis detection from ICU time-series data using XAI techniques
Abstract Sepsis is one of the most deadly illnesses with a high risk of mortality. Consequently, identifying it at the beginning of illness symptoms is crucial and plays a key role i...
Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental stressors on biotic communities in Al-Mahmoudia Canal, Egypt: a seasonal assessment of water quality and plankton dynamics
Abstract Al-Mahmoudia Canal is crucial for water supply in Egypt’s Al-Beheira and Alexandria governorates, but it faces ecological challenges from pollution. This study examines plan...
Individual variability in hydrogen-producing microbes influences the response to hydrogen supplementation on sleep quality: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study
Abstract Hydrogen has been reported to exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and its potential health benefits have been investigated. However, to our...
Strain-level heterogeneity in Vibrio parahaemolyticus limits the predictive value of baseline planktonic gene expression for surface-associated phenotypes
Abstract Vibrio (V.) parahaemolyticus is a ubiquitous marine bacterium that persists in dynamic marine environments through adaptive behavior...
Green spectrofluorimetric method using nitrogen–phosphorus carbon quantum dots and Box–Behnken optimized salting-out assisted extraction for valbenazine determination in environmental samples
Green synthesis of spheroid silver nanoparticles using cyanobacteria with multifunctional biological activities
Assessment of hydrogeophysical delineation of groundwater zones using vertical electrical sounding (VES) in Jeypore Block, Koraput District, Odisha
Abstract Groundwater occurrence in hard-rock terrains is complex and spatially heterogeneous, controlled by weathered and fractured zones with limited surface expression. This resear...
Smooth muscle cell spheroids as 3D model of phenotypic plasticity and matrix deposition revealed by 2D–3D proteomics
Abstract Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are regulators of vascular homeostasis and play a role in cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms. Toget...
3D pore pressure prediction in the offshore Nile Delta, prestack inversion based workflow for drilling optimization and risk mitigation
Abstract The offshore Nile delta basin, which is considered as one of the world’s high-pressure basins, is where the study develops the geopressured cube in 3D for the sapphire field...
