The rapid increase in electric-vehicle (EV) adoption across emerging economies is challenged by weak-grid conditions, high ambient temperatures, and limited investment capacity, making conventional charging infrastructur...

The efficiency and longevity of photovoltaic (PV) systems are fundamentally constrained by excessive operating temperatures, which reduce electrical output and accelerate material degradation. To address this issue, this...

These lecture notes explain the classification of some simple fermionic topological phases of matter in a pedestrian manner, with an aim to be maximally pedagogical = doing things in excruciating detail. We focus on a ma...

Abstract Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare disorder associated with fractures and deformities. FD lesions produce excess phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to hyperphosphaturia in most patie...

The South American water rat Nectomys squamipes is a wild mammal reservoir of Schistosoma mansoni in Brazil. In the present study, wild rodents were collected in the field and categorized into two groups: infected and un...

Abstract The current research of reconfigurable parallel mechanism mainly focuses on the construction of reconfigurable joints. Compared with the method of changing the mobility by physical locking joints, the geometric ...

The Chubut River is a Patagonian river that flows from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, and is interrupted by a dam built at the middle valley. To investigate the sedimentary history of the lower river basin, a sediment ...

Background Experiencing a pandemic can be very unsettling and may have a negative impact on the mental health of frontline healthcare workers (HCWs). This may have serious consequences for the overall well-being of HCWs,...

BackgroundRamadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. Ramadan fasting, which lasts from sunrise to sunset, significantly affects eating habits, physical activity, daytime sleepiness, and quality of life. In thi...

Abstract Objective To determine whether menstrual-cycle (MC) phase is associated with changes in pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, focusing on myoelectric excitation (intravaginal sEMG) at rest and during standardized ...

Forests play an important role in water and carbon cycles in semiarid regions such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous research in the Chilean Mediterranean forests revealed a break point in 1980 in regional tree-r...

The impact of rhamnolipids (RL) biosurfactants presence on the phase-separation equilibrium, micellar properties and partitioning behavior of systems containing the aliphatic non-ionic surfactant Tergitol 15-S-7 (Tg7) wa...

This paper presents design and simulation of a switchable radiative cooler that exploits phase transition in vanadium dioxide to turn on and off in response to temperature. The cooler consists of an emitter and a solar r...

Fluvial basins located on the NE side of the Sierra de Aconquija and facing the Tafí valley (NW Argentina) enable a study of the sedimentary records of valleys and alluvial fans that have been subject to glacial and per...

A new numerical model to describe the microstructural evolution of a eutectic nodular cast iron during its cooling is presented. In particular, equiaxial solidification assuming an independent nucleation of austenite and...

Optical metasurfaces, planar subwavelength nanoantenna arrays with the singular ability to sculpt wavefront in almost arbitrary manners, are poised to become a powerful tool enabling compact and high-performance optics w...

Space heating and cooling account for approximately 15 % of the world’s energy consumption, underscoring the pressing need for improved thermal management. Macroscopic temperature regulation can be significantly opti...

A precise method for phase and amplitude detection in both the time and frequency domains of terahertz spectroscopy based on the weak-value amplification technique is proposed and demonstrated. Within the weak-value ampl...

miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules which serve as promising biomarkers due to their important roles in the development and progression of various cancer types. The detection of miRNAs is of vital importance to the...

A novel modular positive-sequence estimation algorithm for phasor measurement units (PMUs) is described in this paper with a focus on the restrictions imposed by the IEEE C37.118.1-2011 standard. The first stage consists...

Abstract Background Babesia canis infection induces a marked acute phase response (APR) that might be associated with alteration in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and disease prognosis. Hypothesis Dogs with B. canis‐...

Ag-Cu alloys used in sliding electrical contacts often fail by delamination under current-carrying friction. This study examines the delamination mechanism in AgCu10 by characterizing subsurface microstructural evolution...

In order to optimize the conditions for dissipative-free electric current transport, the influence of chemical composition, temperature and magnetic field on phase transitions in model HTSC objects – granular high-temp...
