Attenuated behavioral interpersonal synchrony in autistic adults is not explained by perception of timing
Abstract Attenuated interpersonal synchrony (IPS) has been shown between autistic individuals and their interaction partners; however, the mechanisms of this attenuation remain uncle...
Air temperature estimation and modeling using data driven techniques based on best subset regression model in Egypt
Abstract Air temperature plays a critical role in estimating agricultural water requirements, hydrological processes, and the climate change impacts. This study...
Investigating the metastability of amorphous calcium carbonate by droplet microfluidics experiments using machine learning
Abstract Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) plays an important role in the crystallization pathways of calcite and its polymorphs influencing many natural and anthropogenic processes, such as...
Volumetric predictors for shunt-dependency in pediatric posterior fossa tumors
Abstract Posterior fossa (PF) tumors are the most common neoplastic entity in pediatric neurosurgery. Children suffering from PF tumors regularly present with hydrocephalus and CSF diversion...
Quantitative comparison of a novel swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography device with three established systems
Abstract Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) has become an essential non-invasive imaging technique for high-resolution visualization of retinal microvasculature. This study eval...
Evaluating gene expression and biomarkers for mastitis resistance in Barki sheep
Abstract The aim of this study was monitoring health status of mastitic Barki ewes using candidate gene approach, gene expression and serum profile of inflammatory and antioxidant markers. A...
Hydroxychloroquine modulates the progression of experimentally induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats via targeting EGFR/ERK/STAT3 and AR/FOXO1/TRAIL pathways: computational and in vivo studies
Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent progressive age-related disorder in men, yet its etiopathophysiology remains poorly understood. Current treatments like finasteride...
Development and validation of a semi-automated algorithm to analyze shear wave elastography clips in muscle tissue
Abstract Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is broadly used to quantify muscle stiffness. Currently, most stiffness measures are retrieved from manually placed small measurement zones,...
Postural demands modulate tactile perception in the lower limb in young and older adults
Abstract Balance control requires the continuous integration of feedback signals from several sensory organs with feedforward estimates about the state of the body. Such feedback sig...
The role of cognitive and brain reserve in the clinical presentation and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Abstract Recent research has shown that cognitive reserve is associated with better cognitive abilities in ALS/MND, and that a slow brain ageing speed is associated with intact cognition in...
The effect of sensor-to-source distance on magnetic neuromuscular signals
Abstract Magnetomyography (MMG) can be used as a contactless modality to study the neuromuscular system. On the one hand, being contactless is a practical advantage as there is no need to pr...
Effects of marine heat waves and cold spells on a polar shallow water ecosystem
Abstract Global warming affects the Earth system in complex ways, often preventing a functional understanding of the underlying processes. Disentangling these processes between abiot...
A novel approach to exploring infant gaze patterns with AI-manipulated videos
Abstract Eye tracking is a widely used tool to study infant development, but creating diverse stimuli while maintaining high control over confounding variables can be challenging. In this pr...
Quantum-classical deep learning hybrid architecture with graphene-printed low-cost capacitive sensor for essential tremor detection
Abstract This study presents a novel hardware and software architecture combining capacitive sensors, quantum-inspired algorithms, and deep learning applied to the detection of Essential Tre...
Tunable physical properties and dye removal application of novel Chitosan Polyethylene glycol and polypyrrole/carbon black films
Abstract In this study, polypyrrole/carbon black (PPy/C) filler with different amounts (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) was immobilized in a polymer blend consisting of chitosan/polyethylene glycol (...
Evaluation of inflammatory serum parameters as a diagnostic tool in patients with endometriosis: a case-control study
Abstract Even though non-invasive prediction of endometriosis may seem technically feasible using sophisticated machine learning algorithms, a standard clinical use case for non-surgical dia...
Exploring circulating cell-free DNA as a biomarker and as an inducer of AIM2-inflammasome-mediated inflammation in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm
Abstract Circulating cell-free (cf) DNA in blood plasma is considered a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of tissue damage and could be a driver of chronic inflammation by stimulating the...
AVO reflectivity and pre-stack seismic impedance inversion for gas sand channel detection at South Abu El Naga Field, Onshore Nile Delta, Egypt
Abstract The reservoir compartment is a major uncertainty at South Abu El Naga gas field, onshore Nile Delta, Egypt. The objective of this study is to detect Abu Madi gas sand reserv...
Potassium and methionine mitigate the alternate bearing of Balady mandarin via reducing gibberellins and increasing salicylic acid and auxins
Abstract Alternate bearing (AB) is a major challenge for citrus orchards. Increasing yield in one season (On year) leads to more seeds (fruits) as a supplier of gibberellins, which delay har...
Muscovite based polyaniline nanocomposite as effective adsorbent for removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions from liquid waste
Abstract Heavy metals in wastewater represent a main source of environmental contamination for the ecosystem and aquatic system. Herein, the in situ polymerization method was used to prepare...
