Enhanced antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of Baccaurea ramiflora Lour. fruit extract combined with FMSP-nanoparticles against multidrug-resistant bacteria: an in vitro and in silico analysis

Abstract Background The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and biofilm-associated infections poses significant challenges to public health. This study investigated the antibacterial and antibiofilm potential of ethanol extracts of Baccaurea ramiflora Lour. (B...

Optimization of double-diffusive mixed convection for a hybrid nanofluid system: A numerical and statistical coupled approach

There has been a lot of research on nanofluid convection, but not much on the impacts of double-diffusive mixed convection, hybrid nanofluids, and complex geometries like L -shaped cavities using combined statistical and numerical approaches. To fill that important gap, the aim i...

Urban crash vulnerability during rainfall events: a longitudinal case study from Bexar County, Texas

Using radar-based rainfall data and disaggregated crash records, this study provides a high-resolution analysis of the risk of traffic crashes during wet weather in Bexar County, Texas. The goal is to quantify Relative Risk Factors (RRF) of crashes in wet conditions across demogr...

A rare case report of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome as a pulsatile neck mass with an internal carotid artery aneurysm

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, also known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder caused by autosomal-dominant pathogenic variants in the COL3A1 gene. Defective type III collagen results in marked fragility of arteries and hollow organs...

Digital device usage and psychological well-being in the post-COVID-19 era: insights from a cross-sectional survey

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital technology adoption worldwide, yet limited evidence links post-pandemic multi-purpose online behavior with health outcomes and psychological well-being (PWB) in a single, integrated analysis. This study examines how digital devic...

STGen: A Lightweight Process-Based Testbed for Scalable IoT Protocol Evaluation with Physically Validated Synthetic Sensor and Anomaly Generation

This paper introduces the Sensor Traffic Generator (STGen), a lightweight, pure-software testbed for evaluating IoT application- and transport-layer protocols at scale. Relative to existing software-based IoT evaluation platforms, STGen combines three design decisions that, to th...
