Abstract Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We sought to evaluate treatment patterns, treat-to-target state attainment, and outcomes of patients wi...

The individuals on the ground nowadays often observe objects distantly hover over the sky, which raises the question of who might be operating the object or what the object might record. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) o...

Cavernicolous species that exhibit a high degree of troglomorphism often provide some of the most intriguing evolutionary riddles. For such taxa, the correct systematic arrangement is difficult to determine and becomes p...

Poor housing is associated with poor health. This suggests that improving housing conditions might lead to improved health for residents. This review searched widely for studies from anywhere in the world which had inves...

Intelligent tire systems (ITS) enable direct sensing of tire and road interaction using sensors mounted inside the tire, providing information that is difficult to obtain from conventional vehicle-mounted sensors. Howeve...

Semiosis, and particularly visual semiosis, is not something unique to humans. All animal species, all living beings (including other forms of life outside the animal kingdom) have semiotic activity. But we can go even b...

Abstract The growing electricity demand and use of smart appliances are placing pressures on power grids, making efficient energy management more important than ever. The existing energy management systems often prioriti...

Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical processes, an estimated 30% of irri...
