Background: Accurate prediction of facial aesthetics after orthodontic treatment is crucial for clinical planning, yet traditional methodologies often lack the required accuracy and realism. We introduce a novel generati...

Aim: To develop a cost-effective, predictive model for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in advanced-aged pregnant women based on demographic and lifestyle factors. Methods: A large prospective, population-based,...

Abstract The accurate prediction of the deterioration of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) is essential for the effective management of pavements and the maintenance of infrastructure. In this study, a co...

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...

Abstract Background The kinematics of the wrist have been widely studied in terms of flexion/extension, radial/ulnar deviation, and the dart-throwing motion (DTM); however, the opposite dart-throwing motion (oDTM)—desp...

A precise method for phase and amplitude detection in both the time and frequency domains of terahertz spectroscopy based on the weak-value amplification technique is proposed and demonstrated. Within the weak-value ampl...

Abstract Multimode squeezed light is a key resource for high-dimensional quantum technologies, enhancing metrological sensitivity, boosting communication security, and enabling parallel processing in computation. Its pra...

Abstract While the interbreeding of Homo neanderthalensis (hereafter Neanderthal) and Anatomically modern human (AMH) has been proven, owing to the shortage of fossils and absence of appropriate DNA, the timing and geogr...

It was studied the arrangement of the collagen fibrils of the medial collateral ligament of the canine elbow joint and evaluated its diameter, when it was isolated or associated to the oblique ligament and loaded in tens...

The significance of this work is multifaceted, reflecting a wide range of potential impacts that free public transportation could have on society, the environment, and urban fabric. Delving into this topic, the researc...

Background: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Gram-negative bacteria are spherical lipid bilayer nanostructures with diameters of 20 to 250 nm. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a keystone periodontal pathogen,...

Abstract Purpose Magnesium plays a role in various physiological processes and has been used for treatment and prevention of diseases affecting different organ systems. Magnesium sulfate has been proposed as an adjuvant ...

Abstract Protein monoaminylation represents a new layer of neural–cancer regulation, but its role in gastric tumorigenesis is not understood. Using untargeted plasma metabolomics, we revealed that the level of serotoni...

Plasmonic vortices confining orbital angular momentums to surface have aroused wide research interest in the last decade. Recent advances of near-field microscopes have enabled the study on the spatiotemporal dynamics of...

Abstract Background Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and poses a significant threat to public health. Traditional treatments often lead to poor prognoses and tum...

In the course of the research it was determined that step-by-step air exposition of the Zr-Mn-Cr-Ni-V alloy (in the form of ingot and powder) facilitating the formation of concentration inhomogeneity significantly increa...

Ernesto Laclau criticises Hegelian dialectics for allegedly introducing the logic of necessity into Marxism, which, he argues, hinders the consideration of contingency. This article examines Laclau’s interpretation of ...

Abstract Current paradigms for the origin and evolutions of life and the environment on early Earth have been based on the premises that carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen gas (N2) were the principal constituents of the a...

Abstract Background The risk of outbreaks escalating into pandemics has soared with globalization. Therefore, understanding transmission mechanisms of infectious diseases has become critical to formulating global public ...

The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is an herbivorous rodent widely distributed throughout most of South American wetlands that lives closely associated with aquatic environments. In this work, we studied the geneti...

Zirconia (ZrO2) is of great importance as a support for systems where high ionic conductivity and mechanical stability are required. Doping/defects have a significant effect on the physical properties of this oxide by st...

Abstract Background Skin disorders are widespread, and there is increasing demand for reliable, standardized herbal therapeutics. Kumkumadi Tailam, a classical Ayurvedic polyherbal oil formulation, incorporates several b...

Plasmonic nanostructures allow the manipulation and confinement of optical fields on the sub-wavelength scale. The local field enhancement and environmentally sensitive resonance characteristics provided by these nanostr...
