Gamified learning across academic stages: a developmental perspective on motivation, collaboration, and identity in computer engineering education

Research on gamification in higher education has expanded significantly; however, limited attention has been paid to how students’ experiences with gamified learning evolve across academic stages and processes of disciplinary identity development. This study compares perceptions...

Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Processing of Grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens): Comparative Assessment and Characterization of Protein Hydrolysates

The increasing demand for sustainable protein sources has stimulated interest in edible insects such as the Mexican grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens). This study evaluated grasshopper flour as a substrate for producing protein hydrolysates by ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hyd...

Photocatalytic nanomaterials: present and future

Abstract Photocatalysis is a sustainable and light-driven technology increasingly recognized for its potential to address pressing environmental and energy challenges. Incorporating nanomaterials has notably enhanced photocatalytic performance by offering high surface area, tunab...

Organosolv Fractionation of Sorghum Stubble for Integrated Biopolymer Recovery: Structural Characterization and Preliminary Mass–Energy Assessment

Agricultural residues represent an abundant renewable resource for sustainable lignocellulosic biorefineries, offering opportunities to produce value-added biopolymers while mitigating the environmental impacts associated with conventional disposal. This study evaluated the techn...

The Role of Prior-Induced Regularization in Accuracy and Stability of Genomic Prediction Across Unimodal and Multimodal Models

In this study, we assessed the impact of prior-induced regularization using six real datasets from wheat, rice, and potato, spanning 107–758 genotypes, 2–12 environments, 1–18 traits, and 2744–108,024 molecular markers. Two modeling scenarios were evaluated: (i) unimodal genomic...

Implant-Supported and Conventional Dentures: A Meta-Analysis in Older Adults

Statement of problem Edentulism is highly prevalent among older adults, with approximately 30% of adults aged ≥60 years affected by complete tooth loss in at least one dental arch. Conventional complete dentures (CCDs) often provide suboptimal retention and stability, negatively...

The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) Guideline on Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders Management for Low- and Middle-Income Countries

There is a pressing need to address the unique challenges of managing Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), where mental health resources are scarce and unevenly distributed. To develop this evidence-based guideline, we conducted a sy...

When Coarse EM Models Do Not Transfer: A Cross-Fidelity Study of Microwave Filter Optimization

Lower-fidelity electromagnetic (EM) models are widely used to reduce the computational cost of microwave filter optimization, but their practical usefulness is often assessed through response similarity, own-fidelity objective values, or nominal simulation speedup. This paper exa...

Stress Evaluation of Indirect Composite Superstructure on Different Copings in CAD-on Technique for Restoration of Titanium Dental Implants—3D Finite Element Analysis

Abstract The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the stress distribution and total deformation of indirect composite veneered superstructures fabricated using different coping materials—zirconia, biocompatible high-performance polymer (BioHPP), and polyetherketoneketone (...
