Evaluation of a robust and asymmetric class of nonlinear regression models under censoring

Abstract Censored nonlinear regression models are often based on Gaussian errors for analytical convenience. However, real data—such as income levels, HIV viral loads, or agricultural yields—often exhibit asymmetry, heavy tails, outliers, and censored observations, making classic...

Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet Is Associated With a Lower Risk of Obesity in Children Under 18 Years: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ABSTRACT Objective The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is a plant‐rich dietary pattern associated with favourable adiposity profiles, making it a relevant model for studying obesity risk in children and adolescents. This study aims to investigate the association between adherence to...

Decellularized extracellular matrix bioinks through a polymer engineering lens: tissue-source-dependent macromolecular architecture, crosslinking chemistry, rheological behavior, and 3D bioprinting performance

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioinks are widely regarded as one of the more compositionally faithful hydrogel platforms for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in tissue engineering. However, the field still lacks a unified polymer engineering framework that links ti...

Integrated Hydrogeochemical Characterization, Drinking Water Quality Assessment, and Spatial Analysis of Groundwater Using GIS and Multivariate Statistics: A Case Study of Fars Province, Iran

Groundwater quality in semi-arid regions is influenced by interacting geological, climatic, and human factors. This study integrated hydrochemical analysis, ionic relationships, multivariate statistics, Water Quality Index (WQI), and GIS-based spatial analysis to evaluate groundw...

Assessment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills using a clinical simulation approach among emergency medical personnel of the Kerman Emergency and Incident Management Center

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health and emergency medical challenge worldwide, with generally poor survival outcomes. The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provided by prehospital emergency personnel plays a critical role in improving...

Ajwain Essential Oil-loaded chitosan nanoparticle hydrogel with antibacterial activity: experimental evaluation and molecular docking analysis

Ajwain ( Trachyspermum ammi ) essential oil (EO) possesses well-known antimicrobial properties; however, its high volatility and chemical instability limit its therapeutic applications. In the present study, Ajwain EO was nanoencapsulated within chitosan nanoparticles and subsequ...
