Genomic insights of lipid content in rice bran oil through M-QTL analysis
A hybrid experimental and machine learning framework for designing and predicting compressive strength of ultra-high-performance concrete
Abstract Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) offers exceptional mechanical and durability properties but often relies on quartz powder, raising sustainability...
Placental lipid handling, growth and inflammatory pathways are modified by a maternal Mediterranean diet
Abstract The Mediterranean diet is associated with reduced cardiometabolic risk, yet its physiological effects during pregnancy and its impact on placental metab...
A global, proxy-based assessment of building climatization vulnerability
Abstract Building compactness and construction epoch are relevant proxies of energy efficiency in buildings. By integrating building stock and Earth observation data, we characterize...
Development of sustainable green geopolymer concrete incorporating sugarcane bagasse ash
Abstract Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is increasingly being considered as an alternative aluminosilicate source for geopolymer binders. however, limited studies have comprehensively...
Adaptive level modification via player skill classification and large language models
Abstract Maintaining player engagement in video games requires a careful balance between challenge and player competence. Static difficulty settings fail to account for individual sk...
Recapitulating gestational progression: a high-throughput 3D bioprinted vascularized human placenta demonstrating stage-specific molecular and functional signatures of human pregnancy
Abstract The placenta is a highly dynamic organ that supports the growth and development of the fetus during gestation. Malfunction of the placenta causes disorders of the pregnancy,...
Synthesis, multifunctional properties, and photocatalysis of cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) nanoparticles
Abstract This study focuses on synthesizing cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) nanoparticles via a sol-gel method using ethylene glycol (EG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as capping and stabil...
Comparative fluorimetric strategies for determination of landiolol hydrochloride using native fluorescence and green synthesized silver nanoparticles
Abstract This study introduces the first reported stepwise fluorimetric strategy for the sensitive and rapid determination of the ultra-short-acting β₁-blocker,...
A systematic stepwise optimization framework for rapid multi-analyte UPLC–MS/MS plasma analysis with integrated sustainability assessment
Abstract A stepwise optimization guidance model for rapid multi-analyte UPLC–MS/MS is proposed to report recurring limitations in bioanalytical method development. The model involves...
Professional quality of life among migrant and non-migrant mental health staff in Germany: a gender-sensitive cross-sectional study
Abstract Germany increasingly relies on an internationally recruited migrant workforce, like Vietnamese migrants, to address shortages in the mental healthcare s...
Behavior of reinforced concrete two-way slabs reinforced with carbon FRP bars under flexural loads
Abstract This study presents an experimental, numerical, and analytical investigation of the flexural behavior of two-way high-strength concrete (HSC) slabs reinforced with carbon fi...
Correction: Elastic wave interaction with a stressed half-space containing voids
A comparative study of the growth, yield, and physiological responses of arbosana, arbequina, coratina, and maraqi olive cultivars
Abstract Expanding olive cultivation into newly reclaimed sandy soils faces challenges from salinity, low fertility, and limited water-holding capacity. Success...
A novel pray optimization algorithm for six degree of freedom robotic arm trajectory planning
Abstract This study introduces the Pray Optimization Algorithm (POA), a novel metaheuristic inspired by the procedural rituals of Islamic pray, designed to solve complex engineering...
Integrated biomarkers of oxidative stress NLRP3 inflammasome and kynurenine pathway reflect disease severity and diagnostic discrimination in depression
SignatureGuard: hybrid CNN–transformer model for signature verification and identification across Arabic and English datasets
Abstract Offline signature verification has a persistent Latin-script bias: most systems are built and evaluated on English datasets, while Arabic and other non-...
Correction: Buried soils from the Holocene Humid Period in Wadi Shuwayhi, Al-Khashbah (Oman)
Interrelations of work with health and wellbeing on a 50+ year old workforce assessed using longitudinal self-reports and actigraphy
Abstract Daily activities, work, and health are closely intertwined. We closely followed 45 participants aged 50–66 years working across different sectors in a year-long study, who c...
Determination of worst-case cephalosporin residues in laboratory glassware using a validated low-level RP-HPLC method
Evaluating the significance of platelet count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in critically ill children
Abstract When critically ill pediatric patients are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), they may face significant morbidity and mortality. Ther...
