BackgroundRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) are widely accepted as the preferred study design for evaluating healthcare interventions. When the sample size is determined, a (target) difference is typically specified th...

In the face of increasing human pressures on ecosystems, the selection and application of appropriate methods for assessing resilience are vital for effective decision-making and policymaking in both natural and social e...

Abstract Religious beliefs have a significant impact on consumer preferences, particularly in relation to food choices. Islam, like other religions, imposes specific dietary guidelines, notably regarding meat and meat pr...

Estudos de simulação foram conduzidos com o objetivo de realizar análise comparativa entre os métodos de estimação de componentes de variância: método da máxima verossimilhança restrita (REML), método da máxi...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Chronic inflammation contributes to various chronic diseases, emphasizing the need for reliable biomarkers for early detection and understanding its causes. Measuring chronic inflammation pos...

Abstract In the post-Moore era, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation semiconductor materials due to their unique optoelectronic properties. Achieving high-purit...

Abstract Buffalo animals are slaughtered at their early age and carcasses are chilled rapidly which deteriorates its meat quality and decreases the consumer likeliness of buffalo meat. This study investigated the appropr...

Abstract The effect of dietary fiber enrichment (wheat bran) and cooking methods (oven, steam and microwave) on functional and physico-chemical properties of raw nuggets formulation as well as nutritional, color and text...

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine effects of aging methods (wet-aged, dry-aged, and packaged dry-aged) during 60 d on quality traits and microbial characteristics of beef. Wet-aged beef was packed by ...

Abstract We evaluated the effects of pre-cooking methods on the quality of reheated marinated pork loin. Frozen marinated pork loins cooked using various methods (boiling, grilling, pan frying, infrared cooking, and supe...

Abstract The signal digitization process of the open television system is still in progress, therefore, the study of the digital signal propagation has great importance so that broadcasters can develop and improve the tr...

This paper presents a study of meshless Point Interpolation Methods based on weakened-weak forms. The mathematical formulations of the methods are presented as well as the procedures for the support nodes selection calle...

The article contains a feasibility analysis of using big data of payment systems for building forecasting models for the dynamics of consumer demand as a core factor of the retail turnover. The relevance of this research...

Abstract Background Digital teaching methods are established for imparting theoretical knowledge in the training of health professions. While digital formats are increasingly used in education, evidence on their capacity...

Live transport of crustacean species is a relatively recent practice that increases the fisheries trade's chain of profits, without increasing the fishing effort. However, there are few biological and technological studi...

OBJECTIVE: There is no consensus on superiority of peritoneal dialysis catheter placement methods to each other in the literature.Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether there were differences in compli...

Abstract Background Environmental studies often evaluate how exposures influence health outcomes through intermediate biological processes. In practice, researchers are often interested in complex exposure mixtures rathe...

The use of unmanned aircraft systems to collect data for photogrammetry models has grown significantly in recent years. The accuracy of a photogrammetric model can depend on image georeferencing. The distance from a refe...

Context. Silver is a key tracer of the weak r-process in late-type stars. However, when the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium is relaxed, accurate abundance determinations become even more sensitive to comple...

Background: Photogrammetry is a safe and non-invasive technique for evaluating posture in clinical settings. Body Vision is a novel system that employs photogrammetric principles to assess postural parameters. This study...

To systematically evaluate the measurement properties of current masticatory performance (MP) assessment methods in adult populations. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EBSCOhost data...

Abstract Preclinical vaccine studies often rely on antibody titers and functional assays to assess immunogenicity, but the impact of blood collection methods on these immunological outcomes remains poorly characterized. ...

Computational modeling of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a high priority because it is essential for understanding nearly all cellular functions and for addressing the limitations of time-consuming experimental m...

OBJECTIVE: There are various methods for inserting a peritoneal dialysis catheter. Conventional and laparoscopic methods are superior to each other in many different aspects. In this study, both methods were compared wit...
