Reliability-Audited Explainable AI for Multi-Class Skin-Lesion 2 Triage Under Cross-Device Domain Shift

Background/Objectives: Reliable skin-lesion AI requires evaluation beyond the development distribution. This study assessed whether a source-developed multi-class system preserves discrimination and reliability when transferred to an unseen smartphone-acquired domain. Methods: A...

Metric Gap Physics: A Topological Framework for Spacetime Singularities, Tachyonic Metric Gradients, and Scale-Inversion Duality

AbstractModern theoretical physics faces an impasse regarding spacetime singularities, negative-rootmathematical breakdowns at extreme velocities, and the conceptual chasm betweenmacrocosmic event horizons and quantum subatomic boundaries. In this work, we introducethe framework...

Protective efficacy of the Shanchol oral cholera vaccine against cholera in a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) have become a crucial part of global strategies for cholera prevention, working alongside water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives. However, estimates of vaccine efficacy can vary depending on the context. This systematic review and meta-anal...

Embryotoxicity and Teratogenicity of Streptozotocin-Induced Insulin-Deficient Maternal Diabetes in Sprague-Dawley Rats: A Comparative Evaluation of Insulin Glargine, Metformin, and Combined Therapy

Background & Objective: Pregestational diabetes is a leading preventable cause of congenital anomalies. We characterized Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced insulin-deficient diabetic embryopathy and compared the effects of insulin glargine, metformin, and their combination.Materials &...

An Explainable Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Framework for Evaluating Malware Detection Models Across Heterogeneous Datasets

The diversity of today’s malware and the conflicting criteria for predictive performance, computational efficiency, dependability, and interpretability have made the choice of a suitable malware detection model more complicated. Existing research focuses predominantly on predicti...

Effect of displacement rate and additive materials on the mechanical performance of 3D glass composite laminates

This study investigates the mechanical properties and failures characteristics of three-dimensional glass laminates that have different contents of graphene nanoparticles. The experimental three-dimensional glass laminates, both without graphene nanoparticles and with 1%, 1.2%, a...

Improving soil thermal conductivity measurements with a heat-pulse probe: Thermal efficiency and energy demand across tillage systems

Soil thermal conductivity (λ) is a key parameter influencing seed germination, root growth, and soil-atmosphere energy exchange. Accurate and energy-efficient in-situ measurement of λ is essential for optimising tillage practices and improving soil management. This study evaluate...

Therapeutic Ultrasound Versus Levofloxacin in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Orchitis: Comparative Effects on Testicular Inflammation and Tissue Recovery in Rats.

Background & Objective: Orchitis is a testicular inflammatory disorder that may impair spermatogenesis and compromise male fertility. Although fluoroquinolones are widely used in infectious orchitis and possess ancillary anti-inflammatory properties, concerns remain regarding the...

Studying the influence of electrode height-to-width ratio for optimal overall efficiency in vanadium redox flow batteries

Electrode configuration is one of the key factors affecting the performance of a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB). Therefore, it should be carefully designed in accordance with the operating conditions to achieve optimal system efficiency. In this study, multiple electrode aspe...

An Efficient Deep Learning Method Based on a Hybrid LiDAR and Wearable Sensor Framework for Healthcare‐Oriented Human Activity Recognition

ABSTRACT Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of the most important components of modern healthcare monitoring systems, particularly for providing assistance to the elderly, rehabilitating patients, and continuously monitoring their health. The traditional method of activity r...

Evaluation of Iraq’s national plan for hepatitis B control: identifying gaps and strategies for improvement

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a significant public health challenge in Iraq, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of the national hepatitis B control plan. This study aimed to assess the epidemiological trends of HBV in Iraq from 2015 to 2022 and evaluate the implementation...

Downward Social Comparison among University Students
