The objective of this study was to investigate whether dietary bile acid (BA) supplementation affects production performance and improves eggshell quality in late-laying hens by transcriptionally upregulating shell gland...

This study aimed to characterize an oligosaccharide derived from the edible plant Polygonatum odoratum and to evaluate its effects on intestinal barrier integrity and inflammatory responses in colitis using in vitro and ...

Abstract Background SPTBN1 encodes βII-spectrin, a cytoskeletal protein essential for neuronal structure and function. Pathogenic variants in this gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder known as DDISBA (Developmental ...

Abstract Multiciliated cells generate numerous centrioles to support motile cilia essential for fluid flow. This process was thought to rely on the deuterosome, a DEUP1-dependent structure. Here, we show that DEUP1 plays...

Credible election has become a critical requirement for democracy and good governance. The safety of the environment in which the election is conducted is also necessary for acceptability of the outcome of the election. ...

Introduction: This pilot study investigated the effects of ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficiency on the biomechanical properties of intact anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in a porcine model, a biological condition t...

Abstract The development of sustainable infrastructure in Nigeria requires the effective use of native timber species in designed constructions. This study assesses the structural integrity of glue-laminated timber (Glul...

Abstract Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective method of kidney replacement therapy. It offers patients a high degree of autonomy. However, long-term PD remains problematic. Continuous exposure of the peritoneal membr...

Abstract The global challenge of effectively cultivating clinical thinking in medical students persists, often hindered by traditional textbooks that present knowledge in a linear sequence disconnected from the non-linea...

This study explores the aeroelastic behavior of the IEA 15 MW wind turbine rotor during dynamic yaw maneuvers under storm conditions through high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The focus is on...

Abstract Silver nanoparticles show promise anticancer agents, yet their clinical translation is hindered by poor bioavailability and nonspecific toxicity. In this study, we developed an apigenin-functionalized silica-coa...

Although the classical language cortex significantly contributes to post-stroke aphasia (PSA), non-language-specific cortex, such as the cerebellum, is increasingly implicated in language. However, the specific contribut...

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 Contrast enhancement technique is a prevalent problem in aiding interpretation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. A low contrast MRI image may prove to be problematic in identifying medical problems suc...

Subsea cables are critical infrastructure that are susceptible to damage from anchor drops, necessitating robust protection systems. This study evaluated the crashworthiness of a duct-type reinforced concrete protection ...

Delhi, one of the fastest-urbanising megacities in the Global South, has undergone severe fragmentation of blue-green spaces (BGS) over three decades, driving deterioration of urban ecosystem health through impervious-su...

The precise treatment and dynamic management of traumatic brain injury pose a substantial challenge to the global healthcare sector. This challenge arises not only from the complex and dynamically evolving pathological m...

Numerous seismic damage investigations have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures tend to exhibit a Strong-beam Weak-column failure mechanism, which contradicts the intended Strong-column Weak-beam ...

Abstract The productivity decline of technological wells during in situ leaching (ISL) is primarily associated with clogging of well filters and the near-filter zone, leading to a significant increase in hydraulic resist...

Xylans are essential components of wood cell walls, composed of β-(1 → 4)-linked d-xylopyranosyl units with diverse substitutions, including 4-O-methyl-α-D-glucuronic acid. Industrial pruning of Moringa oleifera gene...

ABSTRACT Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is a compelling route for sustainable green hydrogen production. Yet Ir‐based oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts suffer from a persistent trade‐off ...

This study evaluates the low-velocity impact response of aerospace-grade epoxy laminates (M18/1) interleaved with four distinct thermoplastic films (PEI, PES, PSU, PC). Impact performance was correlated with quasi-static...

Abstract Over the last two decades, researchers have focused on natural reinforcement composites as choice to conventional and man-made fiber composites due to their enhanced properties. While many research has studied t...
