A Game-Based Eye-Tracking Task for Inclusive Educational Assessment in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Dyslexia: An Exploratory Study

Background: Inclusive educational assessment requires tools that capture how learners with diverse cognitive profiles engage with tasks. This study examines whether a game-based, gaze-contingent eye-tracking task can generate relevant indicators for inclusive assessment of autist...

A lightweight hybrid encryption scheme for secure IoT communications based on elliptic curve cryptography and a chaotic dynamic substitution box

The rapid growth of interconnected systems, particularly within the Internet of Things (IoT), has significantly increased the volume of data exchanged across networks, making data security a critical challenge in environments with limited computational resources. Consequently, th...

A simulation-based optical safety framework for dermatologic laser wavelength selection across Fitzpatrick skin phototypes

Abstract Laser wavelength selection in dermatology remains challenging across diverse skin phototypes, where inappropriate choice may increase the risk of epidermal injury. This study develops a simulation-based optical safety framework to support wavelength selection by quantify...

The Role of Energy Market Uncertainties in Forecasting US State-Level Stock Market Volatility: A GARCH-MIDAS Approach

Abstract In this paper, we employ the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity-mixed data sampling (GARCH-MIDAS) framework to forecast the daily volatility of state-level stock returns in the United States based on monthly metrics of oil price uncertainty (OPU) a...

Tensile bond strength of soft and hard reline materials to conventional heat-polymerized, CAD-CAM milled, and 3D-printed denture base resins: an in vitro comparative study

Complete dentures require periodic relining to compensate for progressive alveolar ridge resorption and associated loss of denture retention and stability. With the increasing adoption of digitally fabricated dentures using milling and 3D printing technologies, understanding the...

Dietitians' Views on Artificial Intelligence: An In-Depth Study

Aim: Today, the use of artificial intelligence technologies is becoming increasingly common in many areas from health services to nutrition planning. The aim of this study is to explore dietitians' perceptions, experiences, and professional perspectives on the role of artificial...

Long term results of fashioned costal cartilage block as interpositional graft for large septal perforations closure

Introduction: Large nasal septal perforations (NSPs ≥2 cm) remain a significant surgical challenge with lower closure rates than smaller defects. Objectives & Hypotheses: We hypothesize that a fashioned costal cartilage neo-septal block used as an interpositional graft can ac...

CortexNet: convolutional neural networks for alzheimer’s disease diagnosis using brain MRI

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common degenerative brain diseases, and its early detection plays an important role in improving clinical management, increasing treatment effectiveness, and reducing the consequences of disease progression. In this study, a family of convol...
