Assessing residual bias in real-world vaccine effectiveness studies: validating negative controls to avoid misleading results

Observational studies and randomized controlled trials demonstrate that vaccines protect against infections and severe outcomes, but real-world vaccine effectiveness estimates remain vulnerable to residual biases. Negative control outcomes can help detect and mitigate such biases...

Impact of Voice Onset Time on Phoneme Perception and Implications for a Language-Agnostic Hearing Assessment

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of native language on phoneme perception in normal-hearing (NH) adults representing the three most commonly spoken languages in the United States (English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese). Method: A prospective cross-sectio...

Resilient localization for mobile robots using multi-sensor fusion and a hybrid learning-filtering framework

Abstract Accurate and resilient localization is important for autonomous mobile robots in the real world along with diverse environments. Single-sensor approaches are vulnerable to noise and failures and unreliability for diverse environments. In this study, a novel technique is...

Probing dark matter and phantom field effects on neutrino oscillations around black holes

Abstract This study investigates how dark matter in the background of the phantom field (DMPF) near a black hole influences neutrino flavor oscillations using a two-flavor model. It is found that gravitational effects are cancelled for radially moving neutrinos, causing the oscil...

Wireless Communication Evolution: A Comprehensive review of the Architecture, Technologies, Applications, Challenges, and Future Prospects of 6G

6G, the sixth generation of wireless communication, is expected to introduce exceptional technologies and use cases that once seemed fictional. Each generation of wireless communication systems has enabled the exchange of messages such as voice, video and other types of data betw...
