Nowadays, modern software development processes follow an iterative approach, which makes possible to start the testing of a system at early stages. This approach requires recording the requirements artifacts that specif...

IntroductionSmoothing fMRI data prior to analysis is a fundamental and widely used technique to increase sensitivity. Unconstrained smoothing can also reduce the spatial specificity of the analysis by introducing artifac...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a crucial technique for interpreting neurocognitive functions and the underlying neural information. Despite its advantages, such as high portability, cost-effectiveness and exceptional te...

Several archaeological black earth (ABE) sites occur in the Amazon region. They contain fragments of ceramic artifacts, which are very important for the archaeological purpose. In order to improve the archaeological stud...

Probing light–matter interaction at the nanometer scale is one of the most fascinating topics of modern optics. Its importance is underlined by the large span of fields in which such accurate knowledge of light–matte...

The tight junction regulates the paracellular passage of solutes and water. It is primarily constituted by the family of claudins which assemble to huge multimers and basically seal the paracellular cleft. Certain claudi...

The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission will advance global soil moisture monitoring through high-resolution L-band observations. However, accurate fine-scale retrieval remains challenging due to the 12-da...

IntroductionAccurate segmentation of retinal blood vessels is essential for the early diagnosis of ophthalmic and systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders. However, challenges such a...

Middle Paleolithic blade production is documented in north-western Europe as early as 250 ka between the Seine and the Rhine valleys. If Middle Paleolithic blade production is now a well-established fact, it is still unc...

BackgroundThe use of antibiotics may influence the efficacy and toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) by altering the gut microbiota. However, current evidence on the link between antibiotic use and immune-rela...

Abstract Substation drawings are high-density technical artifacts that serve as the authoritative data source across the entire power-infrastructure lifecycle. Manual auditing of these drawings is labor-intensive, error-...

Abstract Conventional immunotoxicological approaches are often insufficient to comprehensively elucidate the complex immune responses that may arise during the degradation, metabolite generation, and tissue integration o...

Abstract Medical images are inherently high-resolution and contain locally varying structures that are crucial for diagnosis. Efficient compression of such data must therefore preserve diagnostic fidelity while minimizin...

Abstract Accurate specimen preparation is essential for biomechanical push-out testing of bone–implant interfaces. A common source of error arises when implants such as pins or screws are not cut exactly perpendicular ...

In the context of nanomechanics, elasticity is a notable physical property that has garnered recent interest for its roles at the nano-bio interface. This work introduces a novel application of molecular acoustics (ultra...

Code artifacts that have nontrivial requirements with respect to the ordering in which their methods or procedures ought to be called are common and appear, for instance, in the form of API implementations and objects. T...

Here, we present preliminary results from research investigating the influence of different pedagogical methods on skill acquisition amongst novice knappers, with implications for interpreting the Paleolithic and devisin...

Video snapshot compressive imaging is a computational imaging technique based on compressed sensing that acquires high-speed frames through a 2D compressed measurement, followed by an algorithmic reconstruction. Current ...

The paper studied the elemental composition of lead alloys of appendage stamps and seals of Middle Ages, and the influence of impurity elements in the alloy and conditions for long-term storage of monuments on the course...

During the 6th century CE, many Late Antique cities in the eastern Mediterranean-especially in Anatolia-underwent major changes. By the 7th century CE, most had gradually lost their urban functions. As populations declin...

This paper presents and discusses the analysis of the lithic assemblage from a newly discovered archaeological site, Cueva Alí Mustafá, located in the eastern sector of the Tandilia Range (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Lit...

Clay vessels are among the oldest objects created by humans. They have played a significant role in the history of humanity, both in everyday life and in culture. In the Middle Ages (approximately from the 9th to the 15t...
