Ground-Deconvolved GEDI Waveforms Reveal Ladder Fuel Structure in Open Dry Dipterocarp Forest: A Ground-to-Space Sensor Comparison

Dry dipterocarp forest (DDF) in mainland Southeast Asia burns frequently in surface fires, yet the vertical fuel strata observable from airborne and spaceborne sensors remain uncertain. We compared handheld SLAM LiDAR, UAV LiDAR, GEDI, ICESat-2, PlanetScope, and Sentinel-1/2 at S...

Prioritizing Parameters of EDGE Certification for Public Office Building Renovation in Bangkok, Thailand

The building industry accounts for one-third of global energy consumption and CO2eq emissions, yet research on green certification for public-building renovations remains limited in Southeast Asia. This study prioritizes parameters for achieving Excellence in Design for Greater E...

Structure-Guided Optimization of a LipL32-Targeting DNA Aptamer through Molecular Dynamics and Free-Energy Analysis

Abstract Accurate detection of leptospirosis requires high-affinity recognition of the conserved LipL32 biomarker. Although LipL32-targeting DNA aptamers have been identified through systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), the molecular basis of their t...

An Algorithmic Approach to the Diagnosis and Staging of Scapholunate Instability in Distal Radius Fractures Using 7 Fluoroscopic Parameters Shows High Reliability and Accuracy

PURPOSE: To determine the reliability and diagnostic accuracy of fluoroscopic parameters for diagnosis and staging of scapholunate (SL) instability in distal radius fractures. METHODS: Between May 2021 and March 2024, intraoperative fluoroscopic assessments were performed after f...

Effects of a Program Promoting Advance Care Planning and Reducing Death Anxiety Among Thai Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Patients on hemodialysis face severe physical and psychological strain, including death anxiety. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, we assessed a program to increase patients’ intention to engage in advance care planning (ACP) and reduce death anxiety. Methods:...

Lipid-tail modification of the antimicrobial peptide P7 enhances membrane disruption and antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short, host-defense peptides with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and a low propensity for inducing resistance, positioning them as promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. The α-helical peptide P7 (KIAKRIWKILRR) previously demon...

Experimental investigation of fiber hybridized ECC using PVA, polypropylene, and high-modulus glass fibers with class F Fly ash and OPC

Abstract Conventional concrete is inherently brittle and exhibits limited tensile strain capacity, leading to crack localization and reduced durability. Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) have been developed to overcome these limitations through strain-hardening behavior an...

Green synthesis of silver-chitosan nanocomposites for colorimetric detection of malathion in aqueous systems

This study presents a green hydrothermal synthesis of silver-chitosan nanoparticles (AgCs NPs) as a bio-based colorimetric platform for malathion (MLT) detection. Chitosan (Cs) served as both a reducing and stabilizing agent, enabling the formation of spherical AgNPs, as characte...

Effect of finish line locations on the marginal and internal adaptations of 3D-printed interim restorations: a micro-CT evaluation

The accuracy of digital impressions is critical to the success of prosthodontic treatment, and finish line location is one of several factors reported to influence intraoral scanner (IOS) accuracy. However, evidence on whether finish line location affects the resulting marginal a...

Static and longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction in very low birth weight infants: prevalence and associated factors

OBJECTIVES: Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) occurs when preterm infants fail to achieve expected intrauterine growth rates. EUGR is classified as static (body weight < 10th percentile at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) or longitudinal (weight z-score decline > 1 standard...

Project entanglement in a heritage waterscape: conservation, infrastructure and resident resources in Ayutthaya, Thailand

Abstract In Ayutthaya, Thailand—a former royal capital in the Chao Phraya basin, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991—the relation between city and water has been reshaped by successive projects pursuing unrelated aims: terrestrial modernization, heritage conservat...

Influence of curing modes and simulated oral environments on the sorption of silane-containing self-adhesive resin cements: an in vitro study

This in vitro study evaluated the effects of curing mode and immersion medium on the fluid sorption of two silane-containing self-adhesive resin cements. Disk-shaped specimens (15 mm × 1 mm) of BeautiLink SA and PANAVIA SA Luting Multi were prepared using an ISO 4049:2019-based p...

Electrochemical Dual-Sensing Platform for HLA-B*13:01 Detection to Prevent Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (SCARs) Induced by Dapsone and Cotrimoxazole

Abstract The HLA-B*13:01 allele is a critical biomarker for dapsone- and cotrimoxazole-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Overcoming the limitations of centralized laboratory screening, we developed a portable electrochemical dual-sensing platform (EDP) for the s...

High versus low egg consumption and LDL cholesterol in adults with dyslipidemia: a randomized crossover trial

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the effect of consuming 3 eggs/day versus 3 eggs/week on LDL-C levels in adults with stable dyslipidemia receiving lipid-lowering therapy. Design/methodology/approach A randomized controlled crossover trial was conducted in adults with stable d...

Evidence, implications and mitigation of plastic-derived contaminants in infant food: a systematic review

Infants are particularly vulnerable to dietary plastic-derived contaminants, including microplastics, nanoplastics, and synthetic oligomers. Their higher food intake relative to body mass amplifies potential exposure and associated risks. Despite this, exposure pathways and healt...

Biobased Polymer Microcapsules with Controlled PCM Retention and Cu2O Surface Functionalization for Thermal and Environmental Applications

Abstract Biobased polymer microcapsules combining thermal energy storage and surface reactivity are of interest for advanced coating applications. In this work, microcapsules encapsulating capric acid (CA) were prepared via suspension polymerization using cinnamyl methacrylate (C...

Spatially Decoupled Electron and Lithium Storage at Fe/Solid Electrolyte Interphase Interfaces

ABSTRACT Extra lithium storage in transition‐metal nanoparticles remains debated because interfacial reactions are difficult to distinguish. Using Fe/C as a model anode, we combine in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetometry to resolve two concurrent storage pr...

Policy-state gated regime dynamics in European emission allowance futures

Abstract European Union emission allowances are policy-created financial assets whose returns alternate between calmer and more stressed market conditions. Although regime-switching models can describe these shifts, it remains unclear whether observable policy and market conditio...

Redefining Carbon Electrodes as Hierarchically Designable Reaction Fields for Electrochemical Biosensing

Electrochemical biosensors based on carbon materials have achieved remarkable sensitivity, yet carbon electrodes are still often treated as black-box conductive supports. In this perspective, we redefine carbon materials as hierarchically designable reaction fields in which defec...
