Gut microbiota profile in school-aged children with vitamin A depletion and vitamin E deficiency: A cross-sectional study

Vitamin A (VitA) and vitamin E (VitE) deficiencies can result in significant health consequences in children. The role of the intestinal microbiota in these vitamin deficiencies has been scarcely explored. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the relationship of VitA deple...

A Systematic Review of Lithium-Ion Battery Equivalent Electrical Circuit Models for EV Battery Management Systems

Lithium-ion battery management systems (BMSs) for electric vehicles (EVs) require equivalent circuit models (ECMs) that balance prediction accuracy with identifiability, validation robustness, sensing requirements, and embedded computational cost. This PRISMA 2020-oriented system...

Whey Protein–Polysaccharide Nanocomplexes: Structure–Function Characterization and Bone-Related Outcomes in Ovariectomized Rats

Background/Objectives: Estrogen deficiency is associated with impaired bone mineralization and deterioration of bone quality. Protein–polysaccharide nanostructures have attracted interest as food-grade formulations because their physicochemical properties can be modified by the n...

Thermodynamic and structural paradigms of acetylcholinesterase inhibition: Mapping the superior stability of glucosylated eugenol analogues

Eugenol, a phenylpropene found predominantly in clove, is known for its neuroprotective effects, including the inhibition of human acetylcholinesterase (AChE). While early studies identified eugenols as an effective AChE inhibitor, the relative chemical space of its analogues rem...

PS6-13. Time to Luteolysis and Conceptus Attachment Vary with Parity in Holstein Heifers and Cows Diagnosed Non-pregnant by Ultrasound 32 Days After Timed AI.

Abstract This observational study aimed to evaluate the association between time to luteolysis and parity in inseminated heifers and lactating Holstein cows diagnosed as non-pregnant by ultrasound at 32 d after timed artificial insemination (TAI). Ovulatory response between TAI a...

Integrating Hormesis and Xenohormesis in Plants Through Fitness and Response Variables

Hormesis is an adaptive response empirically characterized by a biphasic dose–response pattern, in which low or moderate levels of stress induce stimulatory responses whereas higher levels result in inhibitory or toxic effects. Although the biphasic dose–response pattern provides...

Quantifying the Energy Performance Gap in Low-Pressure Sugarcane Cogeneration: A Seven-Harvest Daily-Resolution Analysis of Simulated Potential Versus Realized Grid Export

Simulation studies of surplus electricity in sugarcane cogeneration almost universally assume stable nominal operation, and the sector literature qualitatively acknowledges that many surplus projects underperform; however, this discrepancy has not been systematically quantified a...

Re-Epithelialization of Donor Sites and Meshed Skin Grafts Using Cryopreserved Cultured Cutaneous Allograft (Epifast®): Experience in Patients with Extensive Burns

Extensive full-thickness burns remain a major challenge in reconstructive surgery because limited donor-site availability frequently delays definitive wound coverage and increases the risk of infection, prolonged hospitalization, and hypertrophic scarring. Cryopreserved cultured...

Preliminary Clinical Outcomes of an Alternating-Current-Assisted Implant Surface Decontamination Protocol: A Prospective Case Series with 12-Month Follow-Up

Background: Treatment of peri-implantitis remains challenging because biofilm removal from microstructured implant surfaces is often incomplete. The present study is an uncontrolled, prospective feasibility case series involving six patients (six implants), not a controlled clini...

Stress responses and dynamic equilibrium: key determinants of ageing in the Caenorhabditis elegans clk-1 mutant

Abstract Systems biology offers valuable insights into ageing by integrating experimental data with mathematical models and bioinformatics tools. Long-lived mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans, particularly clk-1, have provided extensive data on the ageing mechanisms. The clk-1 gen...

A geometric algebra approach to coincidence site lattices

Abstract When a lattice in Rn is superimposed on a rotated copy with coincident origins, coincidence points may arise for specific rotations, forming a coincidence site lattice (CSL). In crystallography, particularly in two and three dimensions, CSL theory is fundamental for desc...

Close relationship and role of fractal dimension, heterogeneous nucleation, dynamic transformations and cooperativity mechanisms in unperturbed tumor growth

<title>Abstract</title> The cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and remains an enigma for researchers and medical doctors. The aim of this study is to propose a novel methodology that demonstrates the close relationship and role of fractal dimension, heterogeneo...

Contrasting eruptive dynamics and hazards of two Holocene andesitic sub-Plinian to Plinian eruptions, Lower and Upper Citlaltépetl, at Pico de Orizaba, Mexico

Abstract Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) stratovolcano, eastern Mexico, preserves a complex Holocene explosive record, yet the eruptive dynamics, source parameters, styles, and hazard implications of individual eruptive episodes remain poorly constrained. Here, we examine the 9600...
