ABSTRACT Background and Aims Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a critical intervention in the management of severe cardiac and respiratory failure. Among the commonly used cannulation techniques, percutaneous cannula...

The inherent variability of soil properties has currently received considerable attention in slope reliability analysis. However, the geological uncertainty is often ignored in analysis. This paper proposes a method for ...

Introduction and aims: This study investigated the synergistic effect of combining 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP) and γ-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (γ-MPTS) in one primer on bonding to li...

Abstract Background Scores such as SOFA and blood lactate, which reflect hemodynamic compromise, may fail to capture early metabolic dysfunction in critically ill patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). We aimed...

Abstract Why do foreign investors exit Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) despite formal alignment with EU institutional standards? We argue that divestment reflects not cyclical volatility but strategic responses to insti...

Abstract Background Dolutegravir (DTG) is endorsed as a preferred option for both first- and second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, comprehensive high-quality evidence regarding its virological effectiveness ...

Background Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) uses risk priority numbers (RPNs) based on 3 parameters to classify risks. Risk analysis methods use thresholds to determine risk. These class intervals do not account ...

The article examines threats to the financial and innovative security of hospitality enterprises at the micro and macro levels. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the functioning of enterprises in this se...

The present work describes an elasto-plastic constitutive formulation aimed at simulating the failure behavior of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCCs). This proposal, based on the Microplane Theory and Smeare...

Reinforced concrete (RC) piers have been widely studied and applied in bridge construction practice. To ensure the normal operation of RC piers under corrosive environments and seismic effects, new corrosion-resistant ma...

Downhole Dynamic Compaction (DDC) piles are the most widely used technique for the mitigation of loess foundation collapsibility. While previous studies have extensively verified their macro-mechanical improvement perfor...

ObjectiveTo develop and internally validate an interpretable, non-invasive machine learning framework to predict detrusor underactivity (DU) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).MethodsThis retrospective c...

Sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is essential for causal inference but is commonly implemented as ramp-only protocols that may not ensure physiological inertness and may fail to maintain mid-session bl...

Abstract Accurate prediction of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) requirement in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a key clinical challenge. Conventional static risk stratification scores have limit...

Abstract In Australian open cut coal mines, floor disruption blasting is emerging as a promising technique for mitigating low wall failures by disturbing the continuity of shear planes within weak geological layers. Howe...

The large-diameter monopiles of offshore wind turbines are always subjected to multiaxial loads. The design criteria for the vertical and lateral bearing behaviors of piles are designed independently, while lots of tests...

Background: Reading proficiency in English as a First Additional Language remains a critical challenge in South Africa and other countries. The 2021 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study starkly highlighted t...

This article considers the influence of local one-sided damage on the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete beam. The research is aimed at analyzing changes in load-bearing capacity, deformations, and potential fa...

Virtual Design Engineering is an emerging method of increasing quality of systems. Including Virtual Design as a part of the traditional established Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis process greatly enhance...

Abstract Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure, often resulting in reduced ejection fraction and progressive cardiac dysfunction. Although up to half of idiopathic DCM can be linked ...

This Campbell systematic review examines the empirical research on the effectiveness of female genital mutilation/cutting (‘FGM/C’) interventions to reduce the occurrence of FGM/C practices in the 28 African countrie...

Aluminum (Al), a commonly used reactive metals, is widely applied in reactive material systems. However, its relatively low reactivity restricts the energy release of systems. To improve the reactivity of aluminum, we in...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tetanus, caused by Clostridium tetani, results in rigor spasms and remains as major cause of mortality in areas with poor vaccination and sanitation. Mortality has been cited to be 20%–55% ...

This study presents pioneering research addressing the challenge of surrounding rock control in gob-side entry retaining by roof cutting under the conditions of a gently inclined coal seam with an extra-thick main roof r...
