Basic Analysis of Interarea Oscillations Between the Iberian Peninsula and the Rest of Europe Using Reduced Academic Models of the Spanish Electric Power System

This article shows an analysis of interarea oscillations between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe using three reduced academic models of Red Eléctrica de España (REE). The original model has 10 nodes in 400 kV for REE, the other two models have 61 nodes in 400 kV for...

Clear Aligners as a Prescribed Source of Unmeasured Intra-Oral Micro- and Nanoplastic Exposure: Release Mechanisms, Human Evidence, Salivary Biomonitoring and the EU Regulatory Context

Clear orthodontic aligners are removable polymer devices worn about 22 h a day for 12 to 24 months, increasingly by children. A growing in vitro literature shows that thermoformed and 3D-printed aligners shed micro- and nanoplastics and co-release elemental or organic constituent...

A Hybrid Framework for Missing Value Imputation in an Air Quality Sensor Network

Accurate and continuous air quality monitoring is essential for sustainable urban management, environmental protection, and public health. However, dense networks of low-cost sensors frequently suffer from missing observations caused by communication failures, sensor malfunctions...

Enhancement of mechanical characteristics of glass fiber composite by reinforcement of boron nitride and graphene oxide nanosheets

Glass fiber composites (GFCs) have garnered significant attention owing to their outstanding properties, such as low density, high strength, and flexibility, making them suitable for advanced aerospace applications. Enhancing their mechanical performance is vital to expand their...

Peptides adopt stable omega-loop structures in concentrated sulfuric acid

The search for life beyond Earth has focused on planets and moons with liquid water, reflecting the assumption that complex biomolecules require aqueous environments to remain stable and functional. Such a view excludes a wide class of planetary settings, including the concentrat...

A Bayesian Classification Approach for Exploring EEG Band Power Reduction and P300 Attenuation as Candidate Group-Associated Markers in Alcohol Use Disorder: A Preliminary Study

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is associated with widespread neurophysiological dysregulation, yet accessible and objective biomarkers for early risk identification remain limited. This preliminary study investigates electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency-domain and event-related po...

Non-standard proteins in the lens of AlphaFold 3: a case study of amyloids

Abstract While three-dimensional structures of globular and transmembrane forms are available for many amyloid proteins, structures of their amyloid forms are scarce in the PDB. Amyloids pose major challenges for both experimental structure determination and computational modelli...

Physicochemical characterization and in vitro biological evaluation of TPGS-stabilized cationic nanoliposomes for 8-bromo-6-chloroflavone delivery

Abstract Flavonoids with halogen substituents represent a promising group of bioactive compounds, but their poor aqueous solubility and limited bioavailability restrict their therapeutic application. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a SPC/cholesterol/TPGS/DOTAP-modified c...

Coupling opinion dynamics and epidemiology

Abstract This research investigates the coupled dynamics of behavior and infectious disease using a mathematical model. We integrate a two-state q -voter opinion process with SIS-type infection dynamics, where transmission rates are influenced by opinion, and an infection-induced...

Ontology-level serum and tumor–margin lipid remodeling across colorectal cancer progression: a cross-sectional study

Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression involves extensive metabolic reprogramming, but stage-related lipid alterations across circulating and local tissue compartments remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to map serum and paired tumor–margin ontology-level lipid signa...

Stochastic Dynamics of Domain Wall on a Racetrack: Impact of Line‐Edge Roughness

We investigate the impact of line‐edge roughness on current‐driven domain wall dynamics in ferromagnetic racetracks. Modeling the edge disorder as a spatially correlated Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, we demonstrate that even minimal experimentally relevant roughness induces pronoun...

Controlled Synthesis of Tri‐ and Multi‐Doped Graphene

ABSTRACT Graphene possesses exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, yet its lack of a bandgap and chemically inert surface continue to limit practical applications. Heteroatom doping has emerged as the primary strategy to overcome these limitations by tuning g...

European S2k guidelines for hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa Part 1. Epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical assessment

BACKGROUND: This first part of the S2k guidelines is an update of the 2015 S1 European guidelines based on the structured assessment of clinically relevant topics by the panel of experts. It is complemented by Part 2, which deals with treatments. OBJECTIVES: These guidelines aim...

Effects of Additive Incorporation on Fluoride Release of Orthodontic Glass Ionomer Cements and Adhesives: A Systematic Review

This systematic review evaluated the effects of functional additives on fluoride release, fluoride recharge/re-release, and selected mechanical, physical, and biological properties of orthodontic glass ionomer cements (GICs) and glass ionomer-based adhesives. The review followed...

Sensory monitoring of bridge structures: design and implementation

Abstract This paper is an attempt at a holistic and synthetic presentation of the key theoretical and technical aspects of the sensory monitoring of bridges during their building and operational use. The authors – on the basis of their many-year investigations of bridges and thei...

Application of machine learning and deep learning methods for the prediction of near misses and occupational accidents in the construction industry

Abstract Occupational accidents remain one of the key challenges for modern work systems, both from the perspective of employee health and life, and in terms of economic, social, and organisational losses for society. Despite the significant diagnostic value of near misses, data...

Illness Acceptance Among Adults with Melanoma: A Prospective Observational Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: Melanoma is a chronic disease that significantly affects patients’ daily functioning and emotional well-being. Beyond its somatic burden, it often leads to substantial changes in quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to assess illness acceptance among melanoma pat...

A Data-Informed Physical Asset Management Model for Maintenance Strategy Selection Under Reliability, Risk, and Uncertainty: A Scenario-Based Approach

Ensuring high levels of reliability and availability of industrial assets requires effective integration of maintenance decision-making within asset management frameworks. However, most existing approaches treat asset criticality, reliability assessment, and predictive maintenanc...
