"In the context of time series analysis considerable effort has been directed towards the implementation of efficient discriminating statistical quantifiers. Very recently, a simple and fast representation space has been...

In this work we use complex systems methodologies to analyze quantitatively the impact of an intervention involving cooperative and self-awareness activities on social interactions in children. The aim of this study is t...

BackgroundOver 120 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, nearly half of them children. Current health responses remain largely emergency-driven, addressing immediate survival needs but overlooking the longer-t...

Abstract Digital technologies and AI promise to optimise complex systems through data-driven decisions, predictive modelling, and anticipatory action. However, this optimisation imperative creates a fundamental paradox: ...

Artificial pancreas (AP) algorithms can be divided into single-hormone (SH) and dual-hormone (DH). SH algorithms regulate glycemia using insulin as their control input. On the other hand, DH algorithms also use glucagon ...

Abstract BackgroundHealth and health care systems are progressively challenged by more frequent natural and human-caused hazards. A hazard becomes a disaster when vulnerability and exposure interact in comple...

The increasing complexity of global financial systems has necessitated the adoption of more efficient and transparent mechanisms for combating money laundering (AML). Blockchain technology, with its decentralized, immuta...

Abstract Backgrounds Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments are widely used in endodontics because of their flexibility and superelasticity. However, the cyclic fatigue resistance of ORODEKA and M3-L systems in curved...

Introduction. The stability of grid-connected inverters is critical for the integration of renewable energy into modern power systems. However, this stability is significantly challenged under weak grid conditions, chara...

Beach-ridge systems are a common feature of prograding coastlines and they have been recognized as important archives of late Quaternary sea level. In this paper, the combination of Landsat images and shuttle radar topog...

Introduction. Nowadays, the most widely used wind energy conversion system in wind farms is based on a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG); it has a large speed range and can function in multiple modes. Problem. Harmon...

Although vaccination remains one of the most impactful interventions in contemporary public health, with consistent and widely documented reductions in morbidity and mortality, the traditional empirical development of va...

Abstract Stopped flow spectrophotometry was used to study the complexation kinetics of the N-pendant arm macrocycle: N,N′,N″,N‴-tetrakis (2-carbamoylethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (TCEC = L) reacting with...

With the rapid growth of electronic health records, medical imaging, and high-throughput omics data, precision oncology faces increasing demands for cross-modal information integration and complex clinical decision suppo...

Abstract Background Suicide attempts constitute a significant public health emergency, with Emergency Departments (EDs) serving as a primary point of contact for individuals in acute psychiatric crisis. This observationa...

Key Points. C3 glomerulopathy and primary immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative GN lead to a significant clinical, economic, and health care burden among affected patients and their families. C3 glomerulopathy an...

Although parity-time (PT)-symmetric systems can exhibit real spectra in the exact PT-symmetry regime, PT-symmetry is actually not a necessary condition for the real spectra. Here, we show that non-PT-symmetric photonic c...

Recently there is an increasing interest in complex optical fields with spatially inhomogeneous state of polarizations and optical singularities. Novel effects and phenomena have been predicted and observed for...

Abstract This study considers an alternative framework for sustainable and equitable human prosperity in the city of Glasgow. The city’s ambition to transform to a Green Wellbeing Economy is explored through cross-sect...

In volleyball games, we define a rally as the succession of events observed since the ball is served until one of the two teams on the court scores the point. In this process, athletes evolve in response to physical and ...

The brain exhibits a wide variety of spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity recorded using functional magnetic resonance imaging as the so-called blood-oxygenated-level–dependent (BOLD) signal. An active area of ...

ABSTRACT Oscillatory dynamics play a central role in the description of a broad spectrum of physical systems. While often well‐approximated by linear models, the essential long‐term evolution and stability of these s...

Abstract Background: Food security and nutrition are threatened globally due to climate change. The West African Sahel is particularly vulnerable to climate change given food systems that are highly dependent on rainfall...

This study presents the application of an enhanced Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID)-like Sliding Mode Controller (SMC), referred to as the Integral PID-like Sliding Mode (IPS) controller, for cruise control sys...
