Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-Based Reformer Pilates and Hatha Yoga on Functional Fitness, Balance, and Cognitive Performance in Older Women: A 16-Week Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background Aging is associated with progressive declines in neuromuscular function, postural control, and cognitive performance, which may compromise functional independence. Mind–body exercise approaches such as Pilates and Yoga have been suggested as effective strategi...

A machine learning framework for classifying inter-turn short-circuit faults in induction motors

Inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) faults are among the most frequent stator winding faults in induction motors, often leading to irreversible damage. In this context, this work proposes a Machine Learning (ML) based framework for classifying ITSC faults using experimental stator cu...

Nonlinear Mixed Bi-Skew Jordan and Bi-Skew Lie Triple Higher Derivations on *-Algebras

Let A be a complex unital *-algebra containing a nontrivial projection and satisfying a Peirce-faithfulness condition. Let D={Dn}n∈N be a family of mappings from A into itself, not assumed to be additive, with D0=idA. Suppose that Dn([A•B,C]*)=∑p+q+r=n[Dp(A)•Dq(B),Dr(C)]* for all...

First‐Principles Study of Ag (111) and Modified Surfaces: Electronic, Optical, and Thermoelectric Properties

ABSTRACT This research adopts modern theoretical frameworks as well as simulation methods to complete an in‐depth analysis of Ag (111) and its modified surfaces Ag/Ag (111) and Cu/Ag (111). The research examines how silver surfaces absorb and catalyze various processes after silv...

Semantic‐Aware UAV‐IRS Control for Cooperative V2X Perception Using Label‐Derived Context

ABSTRACT Cooperative V2X perception requires timely, reliable delivery of perception‐critical packets, especially when occlusion, dense traffic, and vulnerable road users increase scene risk. Existing UAV‐assisted intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) studies mainly optimize chann...

Dietary parsley seed powder attenuates acrylamide‐waterborne toxicity hazards on growth, redox status, immunity and gene regulations in Oreochromis niloticus

Abstract This study evaluated the protective role of dietary parsley seed powder (PSP) against acrylamide (ACR) toxicity in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). A total of 200 juvenile fish (15.98 ± 0.01 g) were randomly assigned to four dietary groups (0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0...

A sensitive and green spectrofluorimetric method for determination of guanfacine hydrochloride based on NBD-Cl derivatization

A sensitive and environmentally friendly spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of guanfacine in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on derivatization of guanfacine with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan in alkaline medium to yield a highly fluores...

FedCogniBand: cognition-aware predictive bandwidth allocation for communication-limited federated learning

Federated Learning (FL) facilitates collaborative model training among dispersed clients while safeguarding data privacy; yet, its practical implementation is significantly hindered by substantial uplink bandwidth restrictions and notable data heterogeneity. Even though there hav...

A numerical study of non-Newtonian blood-based hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching cylinder with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux and homogeneous heterogeneous reactions

Non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluids have attracted considerable attention in biomedical and industrial thermal systems because of their superior heat transfer performance and complex transport characteristics. In particular, blood-based hybrid nanofluids containing copper (Cu) and al...

Evaluating raw versus body-weight–normalized McGill core endurance composite scores in recreational weightlifters: implications for strength and functional performance

The effectiveness of using McGill trunk endurance scores as raw values or body-weight-normalized metrics remains uncertain for evaluating weight classes, especially given the increasing number of recreational weightlifters. The study compared the raw McGill composite score with t...

Long-Term Monitoring of Coastal Afforestation Dynamics and Fire-Induced Biomass and Carbon Loss Using Landsat Time Series in Northwestern Tunisia

Coastal dune ecosystems play an essential role in shoreline stabilization, biodiversity conservation, and carbon storage, but they are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate-related disturbances. This study assessed long-term forest vegetation dynamics in restore...

A multiplicative additive bias variational framework for accurate and interpretable brain MRI segmentation in cloud-based medical imaging systems

Abstract Accurate brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation remains challenging due to intensity inhomogeneity, acquisition-related bias fields, and ambiguous tissue boundaries. To address these challenges, a Multiplicative–Additive Bias Single-Function Dual-Level-Set (...
