The unusual electromagnetic responses of nanostructured metasurfaces endow them with an ability to manipulate the four fundamental properties (amplitude, phase, polarization, and frequency) of lightwave at the subwavelen...

OBJECTIVE: The most frequent reason of increased cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is atherosclerosis. In our study, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), an indirect indicator of atheros...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of feather and blood meal (FBM) in broiler pre-starter and starter diets according to the processing method used. Performance, digestibility, and intesti...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência das complicações maternas, da prematuridade, dos parâmetros antropométricos do feto e de condições do recém-nascido nos diferentes graus de corioamnionite. MÉTODOS: Foram analisada...

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um panorama preliminar da produção acadêmica realizada sob a ótica da Gestalt-terapia e da abordagem gestáltica, no âmbito dos programas de pós-graduação (mestrado e douto...

Light–matter interactions generally involve momentum exchange between incident photons and the target object giving rise to optical forces and torques. While typically weak, they become significant at the nanoscale, dr...

Abstract Architectural singularity belongs to the Type II singularity, in which a parallel manipulator (PM) gains one or more degrees of freedom and becomes uncontrollable. PMs remaining permanently in a singularity are ...

Abstract There are vast constraint equations in conventional dynamics analysis of deployable structures, which lead to differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) solved hard. To reduce the difficulty of solving and the amou...

Abstract The teleoperation of a 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator is one of the basic methods to extend people’s capabilities in the wide variety of applications. The master interface based on the force/torque (FT...

Abstract This paper presents a reflectarray antenna with an innovative dielectric mirror in the form of a discretized concave reflector. The mirror, manufactured via 3D printing, combines dielectric and air layers, formi...

The occurrence of abnormalities in amphibians has been reported in many populations, and its increase could be related to environmental pollution and habitat degradation. We evaluated the type and prevalence of abnormali...

The emergence of metasurfaces has enabled lightweight, compact imaging with degrees of freedom which previously required complex optical setups to achieve, such as polarization, wave vector, and spectrum. To date, most m...

Accelerated molecular dynamics and quantum conductance calculations are employed to shed light onto the electrochemical properties of the Au|1,8-octanedithiol|Au junction. Widely different contact geometries with varying...

Abstract Fungi and mycotoxin contamination of feed poses a significant risk to broiler chickens (BC) and humans, as well as lowering feed quality. This study assessed fungal contamination of BC rations at Sohag Governora...

Avaliaram-se os aspectos clínicos do entrópio de desenvolvimento em filhotes de cães da raça Shar Pei. Utilizaram-se 50 animais com idades entre 18 e 128 dias, que apresentavam graus variáveis de inversão palpebral...

The U.S. Department of Labor reported that working adults with at least a four-year college degree earned an annual average salary of $63,400 compared to the $24,300 salary of high school graduates with no college. The p...

Under the framework of bounding surface plasticity and critical state concept, by introducing the disturbed state concept for hardening variables of elastic behavior, structured yield surface, structured bonding adhesive...

ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to provide a wet laboratory validation for a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), which had been identified as candidate functional variants in silico. Genotyping for candidate S...

Abstract The kinematic equivalent model of an existing ankle-rehabilitation robot is inconsistent with the anatomical structure of the human ankle, which influences the rehabilitation effect. Therefore, this study equate...

Natural materials typically interact weakly with the magnetic component of light which greatly limits their applications. This has led to the development of artificial metamaterials and metasurfaces. However, natural ato...

Abstract We investigate the cosmological implications of an extended gravitational framework based on biconnection gravity, constructed from the Schr $$\ddot{\textrm{o}}$$ o ¨ dinger connection and its dual. In this app...

Abstract Introduction The Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM) was developed to measure individual differences in social comparison orientation and has been widely used in research and various differ...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the psychometric properties, along with cross-cultural invariance analysis, of the Cancer Appetite and Symptom Questionnaire (CASQ). Method Data from 555 United Kingdom (UK) cancer patien...

Skeletal malocclusion is caused by a disproportion of the maxilla and mandible, which leads to an unharmonious facial profile. Straight, convex, and concave soft tissue profiles may serve as a guide to determine the unde...
