Airborne LiDAR enables direct measurement of canopy height and three-dimensional forest structure, but many LiDAR-based studies remain difficult to reproduce due to ad hoc processing decisions and limited pipeline transp...

Abstract Objective Medical education aims to prepare future physicians for high-quality patient care. This prospective study examines the perceptions of medical students and clinical teachers with regard to teaching in o...

Abstract Effective evacuation strategies are critical for preventing stampedes in large-scale, high-density crowd management. This paper develops a second-order sliding mode controller within a distributed parameter syst...

Abstract Objectives DNA methylation (DNAm) can change dynamically in response to intrinsic or external exposures. Characteristic methylation profiles are associated with accelerated biological ageing and poorer health ou...

Abstract Background Preeclampsia is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, often influenced by maternal nutrition. Calcium and zinc are essential micronutrients implicated in the prevention of preeclamp...

The primary objective of this study was to compare the density-based (OPTICS-Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure) and graph-based (Spectral Clustering) algorithms for identifying Normalized Difference Ve...

Abstract Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are fatal neurodegenerative diseases that are medically, economically, and ecologically important. In livestock and wildlife, detection to prevent in...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

Soil moisture is an important part of the land water cycle. It affects ecosystem health, agricultural output, and climate regulation. Several factors influence its variability, especially land use and land cover (LULC). ...

Context. The study of cluster substructures is important for the determination of the cluster dynamical status, assembly history, and the evolution of cluster galaxies, and it allows us to set constraints on the nature o...

Abstract Accurate specimen preparation is essential for biomechanical push-out testing of bone–implant interfaces. A common source of error arises when implants such as pins or screws are not cut exactly perpendicular ...

Urbanization and climate change are rapidly transforming metropolitan environments, posing serious challenges to sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk management, Among these challenges, concern,...

Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are witnesses of the past accretion events onto the Milky Way. In particular, the GCs of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy are important probes of an on-going merger. Aims. Our main goal...

Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a reliable solid-state joining technique for aluminium alloys, where conventional fusion welding often causes porosity, solidification cracking, and excessive heat-affected softeni...

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...

We prove an equilibrium existence theorem for economies with externalities, general types of non-convexities in the production sector, and infinitely many commodities. The consumption sets, the preferences of the consume...

Abstract Objective Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is associated with substantial end‑organ morbidity, yet the circulating microRNA (miRNA) landscape in clinically stable, comorbidity‑free adults with SCA is poorly defined....

As cities experience the digital transformation of the information era, informed decision-making becomes a first-hand necessity. Urban Digital Twins (UDTs), as the natural evolution of the smart city, are digital replica...

Forest fires have exhibited an escalating trend in both frequency and intensity globally, with major and catastrophic events causing significant damage to forest resources, human lives, and property. Timely and accurate ...

Abstract GIS (Gas-insulated switchgear) is a critical component of modern power grids, and accurate awareness of its internal insulation condition is essential to power system safety. PD (Partial Discharge) is a key indi...

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable transformation from a heavily industrialized rail depot and one of the nation’s most polluted cities to the first designated National Park City in the United States of America...

Abstract Objective To describe healthcare resource use in rural Mozambique among postpartum women with HIV, their seroconcordant male partners (MPs), and their infants to estimate costs and inform program planning. Metho...

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a hybrid medical imaging technique that offers both high contrast and a high spatial resolution. One challenging mathematical problem associated with PAT is reconstructing the initial pr...

This study presents an integrated geophysical approach for shallow subsurface characterization using seismic refraction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) at the Florida Atlantic University Boca Preserve. A 240 m transec...
