Comparison of techniques for the evaluation of taste sensitivity
Abstract Taste is essential for proper nutritional intake and thus has a significant effect on quality of life, yet clinical assessments of gustatory function are often underutilized...
Risk factors for abscess formation during or following endodontic treatment in an outpatient setting
Abstract This retrospective matched case-control study aimed to identify potential risk factors associated with the development of dental abscesses during or aft...
Synergistic effects of salicylic acid based plant growth regulators on growth, photosynthetic performance, and antioxidant defense of Polianthes tuberosa L. under drought stress
Abstract Drought stress is a major limitation to sustainable floriculture in arid regions, severely affecting plant growth and flower quality. To mitigate these...
Low-cost UWB CPW microwave tattoo sensor for respiratory monitoring using near-field phase variation
Abstract This paper presents a flexible, ultra-thin, and transparent tattoo-based CPW slot microwave sensor designed for respiratory monitoring with potential applications in epileps...
Comparison of personality domains derived from personality ratings and behavioral observations in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
Abstract Primate personalities are a phenomenon of widespread interest. Researchers have attempted to measure primate personalities using two main methods: perso...
Bioactive metabolites from endophytic Fusarium equiseti isolated from Hyoscyamus muticus mitigate cadmium toxicity in biological models
Abstract Cadmium is a hazardous metal that induces oxidative stress, hepato-renal dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances. This study investigated the protective...
Next-generation antenna beamforming via caterpillar fungus optimization for enhanced wireless communication
Abstract Beamforming has emerged as an essential enabling technique for beyond 5G and future 6G systems because it improves spectral efficiency. However, optimizing antenna weights i...
The bio-adsorptive treatment of detergent: performance and mechanisms
Abstract This study develops an optimized hybrid system to treat sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-contaminated wastewater that synergistically integrates microbial b...
Correction: Microbial evaluation of zirconia and titanium implants in the anterior mandibula: a randomized controlled clinical trial
Hearing impairment and ocular complications in Zucker diabetic fatty rats: a cross-sectional study across disease progression
ITS2 amplicon profiling reveals site-specific mycobiomes in Avicennia marina rhizospheres along the red sea coast
In silico metabolic profiling of non-baumannii Acinetobacter species uncovers conserved functions and provides first evidence of siderophore biosynthetic genes in Acinetobacter junii
Abstract The genus Acinetobacter is recognized for its metabolic versatility, which contributes to environmental persiste...
Saddlepoint approximations for linear rank tests with left-truncated, right-censored, and cross-sectional data under randomized block design
Abstract Left-truncated data arise when events are only recorded if they occur after a pre-specified time point, while right censoring occurs when the exact even...
Retraction Note: Improvement of a rapid diagnostic application of monoclonal antibodies against avian influenza H7 subtype virus using Europium nanoparticles
Risk factors for visual field progression during 10-year follow-up in newly diagnosed exfoliation glaucoma patients
Abstract To identify risk factors associated with visual field progression over long-term follow-up (10 years) in patients newly diagnosed with exfoliation glauc...
Mammals tolerate harmless human presence: Lessons from COVID-19 lockdown on Barro Colorado Island, Panamá
Abstract Human presence in protected forests impacts wildlife, but investigating such impacts is challenging because it is rare to isolate human presence from other anthropogenic fac...
