High-Dose Gestational Irradiation Disrupts Fetal Mouse Brain Structure and Region-Specific Transcriptomic Profiles

Background/Objectives: Prenatal exposure to ionizing radiation can disrupt neurodevelopment, yet the region-specific structural and molecular responses of the developing brain remain incompletely understood. In particular, how gestational irradiation alters transcriptional progra...

A Novel Neurodynamics-Based Approach to Fatigue-Aware Motion Planning in Human–Robot Collaborative Assembly

This paper proposes a neurodynamics-based motion planning framework for fatigue-aware human–robot collaborative assembly (HRCA). The proposed framework integrates human fatigue information into robot motion planning to generate fatigue-dependent trajectories with adaptive clearan...

Digital capabilities, global value chains, and sustainability: A bibliometric-content review of converging literatures and governance complementarities

Research on digital capabilities, including Industry 4.0 technologies, increasingly intersects with debates on sustainability and global value chains (GVCs), yet the evidence base remains uneven. This bibliometric-content review maps a 199-record broad-convergence corpus linking...

Experimental Mapping of the Liquid–Liquid Envelope of Mixtures Alcohol/Water/Salt at Ambient Conditions (297 K and 1 bar). Alcohols: Ethanol and Isopropanol; Salts: Na2CO3 and K2CO3

Abstract Adding NaCO3 or K2CO3 to a binary mixture ethanol/water or isopropanol/water triggers a liquid–liquid phase split at ambient conditions. One of the phases is rich in alcohol, and the other is rich in water. This phenomenon could be potentially used in the development of...

Generative AI for Hospital Cybersecurity: A Framework for Evaluating Large Language Models for Planning, Threat Detection, and Incident Response

The increasing digitization of healthcare records and growing reliance on interconnected systems have increased hospitals’ exposure to cyber threats, including ransomware, brute-force attacks, and Structured Query Language (SQL) injection. Traditional cybersecurity approaches alo...
