Agents repesent a new paradigm for developing software applications. In spite of the interest of this particular way of looking at problems, there is considerable discrepancy on exactly what is an agent and which are the...

Nanotechnology has emerged as a cornerstone in contemporary research, marked by the advent of advanced technologies aimed at nanoengineering materials with diverse applications, particularly to address challenges in huma...

INTRODUCTION: Treatment of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is often unrewarding with approximately 60% of patients progressing to end-stage renal failure within 10 years. In our study, we compared the eff...

Manganese dioxide cathodes offer high operating voltages and energy densities, showing great potential for use in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, their practical use has been limited by poor cycling stability caused...

Abstract Anti-angiogenic agents are widely used to treat solid tumors. We previously demonstrated that nicorandil, an angina pectoris medication, counteracted the effects of bevacizumab in a human mini-tumor model. To fu...

This study examines the impact of the service marketing mix on customer loyalty towards travel agents in Oman after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study seeks to comprehend the influence of the service marketing mix (7Ps: Pr...

Globalization and the development of modern information technology have contributed to the higher importance of communication technological support and its use between the client and the entrepreneur in the service indus...

Several new 1,2,5-oxadiazole N-oxide derivatives and some deoxygenated analogues were synthesized to be tested as potential selective hypoxic cell cytotoxins. Compounds prepared were designed in order to gain insight int...

ABSTRACT :         A continuation to a previous study of monosubstiuted transfer agents, carried out by the same author, this investigation had been done. It has been found that multisubstituted chain transfer age...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most common diseases in Argentina, affecting the quality and yield of barley grains. Fusarium graminearum sensu stricto (ss) and Fusarium poae are causal agents of FHB and potenti...

Abstract Background This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the safety and efficacy of emerging prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligand therapy (RLT) agents used beyond [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA in met...

Aiming at contributing inputs to the learning process of community health agents from Family Health Strategy, this study has sought to devise an Educational Program to qualify seven community agents from the Family Healt...

Abstract Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are promising for rapid concrete repair but are hindered by excessive drying shrinkage. This study evaluates the efficacy of MgO-based (MEA), CaO-based (CSEA), and calcium sulfo...

Abstract Objective: To analyze the long-term effects of antineoplastic treatments on patient fertility. Selection of Studies: The studies were selected through the New PubMed, Scielo and Lilacs databases along with ref...

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms among oncology patients and identify simultaneous use of antineoplastic and antidepressant agents.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that interviewed ...

he bond strength between lithium disilicate veneers and tooth structure depends on factors such as curing technique and luting agent. Preheated composite resins have been proposed as alternative luting agents due to thei...

Exotic type deposits include several species of minerals, such as atacamite, chrysocolla, copper pitch, and copper wad. Among these, copper pitch and copper wad have considerable concentrations of manganese. However, the...

Invasive fungal infections remain a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, with resistance to conventional antifungal agents posing an increasing challenge. Ethosomal nanocarriers have gained attention as effecti...

The coexistence of cooperation and selfish instincts is a remarkable characteristic of humans. Psychological research has unveiled the cognitive mechanisms behind self-deception. Two important findings are that a higher ...

Surveys and interviews—structured, semi-structured, or unstructured—are widely used for collecting insights on emerging or hypothetical scenarios. Traditional human-led methods often face challenges related to cost, ...

Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have proven to be of therapeutic potential against cancer. The feature of the surface coating can affect important properties of IONPs; it is therefore critical for further under...

Abstract The aim of this study is to determine the some physicochemical (proximate composition, pH and aw values) and reconstitution (wettability, dispersibility and solubility index (SI)) properties of spray-dried bone ...

Abstract This work involved a serological investigation of tick-borne pathogens in opossums in eight municipalities of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Serum samples from 109 opossums (91 Didelphis aurita and 18 Didelphi...

In this work we present a methodological framework to engineer graded BDI agent-based systems. The graded BDI agent model allows to specify an agent’s architecture able to deal with the environment uncertainty and with...
