Introduction and aims: Skeletal Class II malocclusion is heterogeneous, and conventional two-dimensional cephalometry may not fully capture relevant three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial variation. This study aimed to iden...

Dengue is the single most important human viral infection transmitted by insects. The function of the viral proteins andtheir interactions with the host cell is under exhaustive investigation with the aim of identifying ...

Abstract Background Plants from the Sapindaceae family that are consumed by horses (maple) and humans (ackee and litchi) are known to contain the toxins hypoglycin A and methylenecyclopropylglycine which cause seasonally...

This study investigated the influence of extraction time and sodium bisulfite concentration on citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) extracts using ethanol as solvent. Nine treatments (P1–P9) were evaluated for yield, moistur...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) on the bone mineral density (BMD), bone microarchitecture, biomechanical properties and body weight of middle-aged and old...

IntroductionIt is imperative to minimize protein aggregates in commercial intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy as they have been implicated in adverse events and can enhance immunogenicity for patients receiving IVI...

BackgroundFrontotemporal dementia is an umbrella term that encompasses several clinical syndromes with impaired behavioral, language, and motor functions. These syndromes show considerable overlap in clinical features an...

Abstract Background HC-HA/PTX3 (a complex formed by high molecular weight hyaluronan covalently linked to heavy chain 1 of inter-α-trypsin inhibitor and tightly bound to pentraxin 3) is a unique extracellular matrix fro...

In previous works, we proposed two methods for data clustering based on automatically discovered fuzzy predicates which were referred to as SOM-based Fuzzy Predicate Clustering (SFPC) [Meschino et al., Neurocomputing, 14...

Abstract In many real-world applications, binary and multi-class classification problems involving imbalanced data and overlapping boundaries present a significant challenge for traditional machine learning algorithms. I...

IntroductionLate-life difficult-to-treat depression (LL-DTD) and dementia frequently coexist in later life, but it remains unclear whether clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, as well as medication exposure pat...

This study addresses the critical challenge of detecting duplicate final year project (FYP) titles in academic institutions, where minor variations like reordering, synonyms, and paraphrasing often obscure plagiarism. We...

Abstract Lithium (Li) recovery from secondary resources, such as mine waters, is essential to meet the increasing global demand. However, lithium in mine waters typically occurs at low concentrations, necessitating effic...

Abstract Background Radiomics analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT enables extraction of high-dimensional quantitative features that may serve as imaging biomarkers for tumor biology. In particular, in non-small cell lung cancer (...

Topological edge state (TES) has emerged as a significant research focus in photonics due to its unique property of unidirectional transmission. This feature provides immunity to certain structural disorders or perturbat...

Abstract Background Hypertension is increasingly recognised among younger adults and contributes to early cardiovascular risk, yet population-level data in this age group remain limited in many low- and middle-income cou...

Complex interactions between seawater and freshwater govern intrusion and stabilization in coastal aquifers. Previous studies have primarily relied on interface-based analyses, limiting full-field spatial quantification ...

Objective: To explore the imaging biomarkers obtained from baseline multi-modality imaging PET/CT before metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which could offer early response prediction before MDT treatment, optimizing pat...

Abstract A selective and eco-friendly spectrophotometric approach was developed for the quantitative determination of entacapone (ENT) in the presence of its co-formulated drugs carbidopa (CAR) and levodopa (LEV) which e...

Heteroduplex-based genotyping methods have proven to be technologically effective and economically effi cient for low- to medium-range throughput single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) determination. In this chapter we des...

Abstract Background Limited knowledge regarding the relative effectiveness of workplace accident prevention approaches creates barriers to informed decision‐making by policy makers, public health practitioners, workpla...

A new method for pre-concentration/separation and determination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) by solid-surface fluorescence (SSF) is proposed. The herbicide was complexed with Rhodamine B at pH 7.0 in the pre...

IntroductionThIntrusion Detection Systems (IDS) for Internet of Things (IoT) and edge environments require datasets with unambiguous labels, yet existing datasets often mix benign and malicious traffic within the same ca...

Introduction and aims: Oral microbial biomarkers for metabolic syndrome (MetS), in contrast to its well-characterized relationship with the gut microbiome, have not been well defined. This study aims to systematically id...
