Abstract Background Autoimmune conditions are common in women of reproductive age. They are associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes; whether this is causal is unclear. Our aim was to explore the c...

Abstract Mutton is one of the most popular meats among the public due to its high nutritional value. In this study, we compared and analyzed the nutritional composition and volatile flavor substances in longissimus dorsi...

Abstract This study assessed and compared meat quality and fiber characteristics of longissimus lumborum (LL), psoas major (PM), and semimembranosus muscles among Hanwoo (HW), Jeju black (BL), and their crossbred (BH) ca...

Abstract With the further development of service-oriented, performance-based contracting (PBC) has been widely adopted in industry and manufacturing. However, maintenance optimization problems under PBC have not received...

Foram coletados adultos e imaturos de Culicidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha) em Querari, Município de São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Estado do Amazonas. Brasil. Os adultos foram capturados utilizando armadilhas (CDC e Malaise) e...

Cutaneous lymphatic vessels are essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and coordinating immune defence, making them vital to skin health. Recent advances in molecular biology and immunology have revealed the associ...

IntroductionThe knee-to-knee position is considered an effective and comfortable position for patients, parents, and dentists to facilitate a toddler's dental examination. Since the knee-to-knee method requires the invol...

Abstract To investigate the relationship between muscle fiber characteristics and meat quality traits by age of Korean native black goat (KNBG), four muscles (longissimus dorsi, LD; psoas major, PM; semimembranosus, SM; ...

BackgroundLast-mile logistics accounts for approximately 28% of total logistics costs and is a major contributor to urban carbon emissions. The integration of drones with electric trucks offers a path toward more efficie...

Differential equations are equations that relate a function to one or more of its derivatives. Nonlinear means that the equation is not directly proportional to the function and its derivatives. In other words, its varia...

En las últimas décadas las investigaciones sobre las emociones han ido adquiriendo mayor relevancia dentro del ámbito de los estudios clásicos. Un punto destacado e innovador de esta perspectiva –en lo referente es...

IntroductionSchnitzler syndrome (SchS) is a rare, late-onset, acquired autoinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent urticarial lesions, monoclonal gammopathy and systemic inflammation. Although interleukin-1 (IL-...

Metformin is the most widely used oral antidiabetic drug in the world. It is the first-line drug in type 2 diabetes, where its inhibiting effect on hepatic glucose production, increasing muscle and adipose tissue insulin...

Accurate source location is the basis of most micro seismic studies. Because of large location error, the relationship between station density and location error is analyzed. A 3-D monitoring system model is established,...

Abstract Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular bacterium capable of infecting ticks, fleas, lice, and other arthropods. This bacterium is classified as a member of the Transitional Group (TRG) Rickettsia. It is k...

Abstract Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) result from intricate interactions among genetic, environmental and immune factors, with emerging evidence underscoring the role of the central nervous system (CNS) in their pathogenes...
