Patterns of information flow in autism canonical brain network by transfer entropy approach

Abstract The functional brain activity network is the result of the harmonious activity of different regions. Each harmonic activity requires feedback from different areas of activity to adjust itself. As a result, any disorder in this harmony can affect the functional brain acti...

Experimental and numerical analysis of a traditional four-sided windcatcher for performance evaluation and improvement

Windcatchers are traditional architectural elements that enable passive ventilation and cooling, thereby improving thermal comfort and reducing energy consumption. This study investigates the performance of a historical four-sided windcatcher in Yazd, Iran, through full-scale fie...

Effect of six weeks of ankle stretching exercises on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and anterior knee pain in children with ankle pronation: a randomized controlled trial

This study investigated the effect of six weeks of ankle-stretching exercises on anterior knee pain (primary outcome) and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, genu recurvatum, stride length, and walking speed (secondary outcomes) in children. The study was motivated by the role of...

Tenting screw (tent pole) technique in vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentations: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Purpose Providing an overview on tenting screws/tent-pole technique for space-maintenance in vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Methods The protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD420251178321). PRISMA-2020 guidelines were applied. Medline via PubMed, W...

Determination of Efficacy of Intervention based on the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Model of Panic Attack Treatment in Comorbid Heart Diseases: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Panic disorder (PD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) exhibit similar symptoms, such as palpitations, dyspnea, and chest pain, complicating clinical differentiation, especially when they coexist. This overlap has led to challenges in the context of psychocardiology, in...

Organisational diagnosis of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and designing a desirable model for solutions

Purpose This study aims to investigate the organisational factors that constrain the effectiveness of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and proposes a reform-oriented institutional model to strengthen implementation capacity, intergovernmental coordination and overall o...

High-accuracy UAV photogrammetry and GIS integration for 3D cadastral data generation

Abstract This study presents a UAV photogrammetry and GIS-based workflow for generating high-accuracy three-dimensional cadastral models in urban environments. The proposed framework integrates RTK-enabled UAV image acquisition, ground control point (GCP) surveying, photogrammetr...

Drought-induced physiological, biochemical, phytochemical, and yield-related trait variations among populations of Satureja rechingeri Jamzad

Satureja rechingeri Jamzad, an endemic aromatic species of Iran with high essential oil and phenolic potential, is of considerable pharmaceutical and ecological importance; however, its physiological and biochemical adaptations in response to drought stress across different popul...

Tissue-specific transcriptome analysis uncovers phenylpropanoid biosynthetic genes in Althaea officinalis

Althaea officinalis is a medicinal plant, rich in mucilage and polyphenols and traditionally used to relieve inflammation and irritation of respiratory, digestive, and urinary tissues. This study presents the first comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of A. officinalis revealing...

Transcriptome analysis of damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) petals: unveiling the genetic basis of essential oil biosynthesis

Identifying the key genes and transcription factors involved in essential oil production in Rosa damascena is an important step toward understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying essential oil biosynthesis. Such knowledge may be applied in breeding programs aimed at improvi...

The journey of numbers from attention to motor processing: an embodied account of neural response to number magnitudes

Abstract Embodied cognition suggests numbers are linked to physical actions and sensory experiences. Additionally, sensory processing, thoughts or actions are modulated by attentional shifts/control. This study investigates how learned motor associations in individuals (finger-co...

Neurocognitive training with visual perturbation improves dual-task hop performance in male athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomized controlled trial

Returning to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) carries high re-injury risk and persistent functional impairments. Sensorimotor control changes not addressed by standard rehabilitation may lead to neurological compensations affecting functional performan...
