Abstract Background In 2014, the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) developed a global health competency framework and called for its validation. Given China's increasing engagement in global health over...

A combined strategy of phosphate (Pi) remobilization from internal and external RNA sources seems to be conserved in plants exposed to Pi starvation. Thus far, the only ribonucleases (RNases) reported to be induced in Ni...

Recent advances in designing time-reversal-invariant photonic topological insulators have been extended down to the deep subwavelength scale, by employing synthetic photonic matter made of dense periodic arrangements of ...

Underwater sensor networks are becoming an important field of re- search, because of its everyday increasing application scope. Examples of their application areas are environmental and pollution monitoring (mainly oil s...

Abstract Background Continuous analgesia via peripheral nerve catheters (PNCs) is highly effective but prone to tip malposition. Direct ultrasound-guided localization of the PNC tip remains challenging, and no universal ...

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a widespread environmental pollutant and a dioxin-like compound that binds weakly to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Because AhR and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) converge to re...

Abstract We present a new dataset comprising radar, Electrocardiography (ECG), respiration, and inertial measurement signal recordings from 23 individuals while performing a series of simulated harmful behaviors. This da...

Stern-Gerlach interferometer (SGI) is a kind of matter-wave interferometer driven by magnetic field and has been proposed for various gravity experiments. Stochastic noises can lead to decoherence problems of SGI via var...

In this review, we focus on the experimental demonstration of enhanced emission from single plasmonic tunneling junctions consisting of coupled nano antennas or noble metal tips on metallic substrates in scanning tunneli...

Concepts adapted from radio frequency devices have brought forth subwavelength scale optical nanoantenna, enabling light localization below the diffraction limit. Beyond enhanced light–matter interactions, plasmonic na...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia da estimativa ultrassonográfica na predição do peso fetal e analisar fatores maternos e/ou fetais que interferem no resultado. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo e transversal, que incluiu 106 ...

Abstract Background Aging alters the systemic steroid environment, including reductions in circulating androgens. In peripheral tissues, androgen exposure is regulated mainly by local steroid metabolism, which can activa...

ABSTRACT Zinc is a critical nutrient for all living organisms, including bacterial pathogens such as Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of the severe human respiratory disease diphtheria. As such, zinc acqu...

Abstract Introduction This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based system to automatically assess patient positioning compliance in chest radiographs, focusing on cervical spine visibility, scapular overlap, and cos...

Reflectance confocal microscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic method that enables real-time visualization of tissues in near-histological resolution. Pemphigus is a chronic autoimmune skin disease in which intra-epidermal...

The Autonomous search and rescue operations in hazardous en- vironments demands a robust perception, precise localization, and intelli- gent navigation. This paper presents an integrated robotic system on the TurtleBot3 ...

We study the impact of structural disorder on a radiative lifetime of symmetry-protected bound state in the continuum (BIC) and a bright mode in a one-dimensional periodic chain of coupled Mie resonators. Through experim...

Evidence suggesting that statins may contribute to renoprotection has been provided in experimental 28 and clinical studies. Statins restore endothelial nitric oxide (NO) levels by mechanisms including up-reg- 29 ulation...

With the advancement in understanding of the physics inside chaotic systems, chaos has been harnessed from a nuisance to a beneficial factor in optical devices. Light–matter interaction in chaotic systems has been util...

Lean duplex stainless steels (LDSS) emerged as a competitive duplex stainless steels (DSS) where Ni is partially replaced by lower cost alloying elements such as Mn and N. However, to date there has been little to no inf...

This paper presents DS-PTAM, a distributed architecture for the S-PTAM stereo SLAM system. This architecture is developed on the ROS framework, separating the localization and mapping tasks into two independent ROS nodes...

Quantum emitters (QEs) are essential building blocks for quantum applications, such as quantum communication, quantum computing and metrology. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD...

Abstract Locoregional CAR-T delivery is increasingly explored for glioblastoma to improve intracranial tumor exposure; however, organ-level biodistribution kinetics after intracranial administration remain poorly quantif...

Graphene is emerging as an ideal material for new-generation optoelectronic devices. In this paper, a novel graphene metasurface-based electrically switchable and tunable infrared light modulator has been proposed and th...
