Photobiomodulation Supports Postorthodontic Molar Space Maintenance by Enhancing Alveolar Bone Remodelling in a Murine Model

Introduction Orthodontic relapse is influenced by incomplete alveolar bone remodelling after active tooth movement. This study evaluated whether 650 nm photobiomodulation treatment prevents postorthodontic relapse by preserving the retained molar distance and enhancing osteogenic...

Spectral Chebyshev wavelet method for state-dependent fractional integro-differential equations in adaptive tumor growth modeling

This paper develops a Chebyshev Wavelet Operational Matrix Method (CWOMM) for solving a novel class of nonlinear mixed Volterra–Fredholm fractional integro-differential equations with state-dependent kernels and time-varying coefficients. Unlike classical formulations, in which t...

National cultural dimensions and materiality assessment disclosure in sustainability reporting: cross-country evidence from the world’s leading companies

Abstract Materiality assessment is increasingly used in sustainability reporting to enhance transparency in identifying material sustainability issues. However, limited studies examine the determinants of materiality assessment disclosure (MAD), particularly at the country level....

Automated and Explainable Machine Learning Framework for Predicting the Fracture Toughness of Fiber-Reinforced Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Subjected to Freeze–Thaw Damage

The extended longevity of fiber-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete (FR-UHPC) in frigid regions remains incompletely comprehended, especially concerning the deterioration of mode-I fracture toughness (KIC) due to repeated freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs). While prior investigatio...

Hybrid deep learning framework for AI-generated text detection

Recently, large language models have demonstrated remarkable ability to generate human-like textual content. This advancement has increased the need for reliable methods to detect AI-generated texts, particularly to address concerns related to academic dishonesty and the spread o...

Phyto-Mediated Versus Conventional Nanomaterials for Environmental Remediation: Surface Chemistry, Removal Mechanisms, Performance, and Sustainability

Nanomaterials have emerged as key platforms for environmental remediation owing to their tunable surface chemistry, high specific surface area, and multifunctional physicochemical properties. This review provides a critical comparison between conventional nanomaterials (CNMs) and...

Novice nurses’ preparedness for psychological first aid in conflict-affected Middle Eastern Countries: a cross-sectional survey

Frontline healthcare professionals, especially nurses, are often the main providers of psychological first aid in conflict settings, offering supportive communication, grief support, and trauma-informed care. However, despite its recognized importance in emergency response, PFA c...

Empirical validation of a BEP-driven value engineering framework for enhancing design performance and project value

Purpose This study aims to address the strategic gap in Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation by developing and empirically validating a novel, process-based framework (BEP-V) that embeds Value Engineering (VE) directly into the BIM Execution Plan. Design/methodology...

Can artificial intelligence improve precision dosing? a systematic review of narrow therapeutic index drugs

Abstract Background Precision dosing of narrow therapeutic index drugs remains challenging because of substantial interindividual variability and the narrow margin between therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. Artificial intelligence (AI)–based approaches may improve individualized...
