IntroductionThe knee-to-knee position is considered an effective and comfortable position for patients, parents, and dentists to facilitate a toddler's dental examination. Since the knee-to-knee method requires the invol...

Abstract To investigate the relationship between muscle fiber characteristics and meat quality traits by age of Korean native black goat (KNBG), four muscles (longissimus dorsi, LD; psoas major, PM; semimembranosus, SM; ...

BackgroundLast-mile logistics accounts for approximately 28% of total logistics costs and is a major contributor to urban carbon emissions. The integration of drones with electric trucks offers a path toward more efficie...

Differential equations are equations that relate a function to one or more of its derivatives. Nonlinear means that the equation is not directly proportional to the function and its derivatives. In other words, its varia...

En las últimas décadas las investigaciones sobre las emociones han ido adquiriendo mayor relevancia dentro del ámbito de los estudios clásicos. Un punto destacado e innovador de esta perspectiva –en lo referente es...

IntroductionSchnitzler syndrome (SchS) is a rare, late-onset, acquired autoinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent urticarial lesions, monoclonal gammopathy and systemic inflammation. Although interleukin-1 (IL-...

Metformin is the most widely used oral antidiabetic drug in the world. It is the first-line drug in type 2 diabetes, where its inhibiting effect on hepatic glucose production, increasing muscle and adipose tissue insulin...

Accurate source location is the basis of most micro seismic studies. Because of large location error, the relationship between station density and location error is analyzed. A 3-D monitoring system model is established,...

Abstract Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular bacterium capable of infecting ticks, fleas, lice, and other arthropods. This bacterium is classified as a member of the Transitional Group (TRG) Rickettsia. It is k...

Abstract Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) result from intricate interactions among genetic, environmental and immune factors, with emerging evidence underscoring the role of the central nervous system (CNS) in their pathogenes...

Four mosquito species—Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) galvaoi, An. (Anopheles) mediopunctatus, Culex (Culex) lahillei, and Uranotaenia (Uranotaenia) geométrica—were recorded for the first time in northwestern Argentina. I...

Strelkovimermis spiculatus, Poinar and Camino 1986 (Nematoda: Mermithidae) was found parasitizing some mosquito genera like Aedes (Ochlerotatus), Culex and Psorophora. In a mosquito distribution project in Buenos Aires, ...

We report a previously healthy 4-year-old female presenting with a diffuse, recurrent, pruritic, erythematous rash involving the entire body with eight episodes over 2 years, each lasting 7–10 days. The rash reliably a...

Abstract The present work aims at the application of different optimization strategies in the electromagnetic analysis of the Variable Reluctance Motor (VRM) through Finite Element (FE) simulation. Two case studies are i...

Abstract The accurate estimation of parameters is the premise for establishing a high-fidelity simulation model of a valve-controlled cylinder system. Bench test data are easily obtained, but it is challenging to emulate...

Abstract The precise forecasting of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL, expressed in hours) of aircraft engine-like systems using a synthetic dataset designed to mimic real engine degradation patterns is a key factor in sett...

Introduction . Progressive macular hypomelanosis (PMH) is a cutaneous pigmentary disorder resulting from a deficit of melanin and manifesting with disseminated hypopigmented macules. Pityriasis alba, post-inflammatory hy...

Pustular rosacea is a rare chronic inflammatory disease whose prevalence increases with age. We report a case of an 8-year-old patient who presented with a 3-year history of recurrent papulopustular facial eruptions asso...

ABSTRACT Objective Adjacent segment retrolisthesis is a common yet frequently overlooked complication after lumbar fusion, which may lead to reoperation. However, its risk factors, particularly those related to preoperat...

Abstract Multi-level inverters (MLIs) are also used in relatively high-power systems; but the goals of low overall harmonic distortion (THD) and fewer power semiconductor devices remain a design issue of serious difficul...

ObjectiveRescue drilling rigs undergo intense vibration at borehole mouths when operating in a confined underground space of coal mines. To address this issue, this study designed a compact multi-directional, passive dyn...

Abstract To investigate relationships of electronic taste-traits with muscle fiber type composition (FTC) and contents of nucleotides, porcine longissimus lumborum (LL), psoas major (PM), and infra spinam (IS) muscles we...

Abstract Investigations were conducted on a case of generalized dermatitis in an African pygmy hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris), purchased as a pet. Clinical examination revealed restlessness, agitation, itching and scra...

Abstract The ground plane plays an important role on the performance of a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). In this regard, the ground plane modification using slots is proposed in this research to obtain a dual band ant...
