Synergy of seed and soil treatments with microbead native N-Biofertilizers enhancing soil health and soybean performance in severely degraded soils

Soybean is a strategic soil-building crop that enhances soil health through biological nitrogen fixation and nutrient cycling. However, severely degraded soils (SDS), characterized by low organic matter, poor fertility, acidity, and limited microbial activity, constrain soybean p...

Discharge printing on cotton fabric using fruit peel extracts as natural reducing agents

Conventional reducing agents are effective in discharge printing, but concerns about chemical safety, environmental impact, and sustainability have encouraged the quest for greener alternatives. This study aims to evaluate orange and pineapple peel extracts as natural reducing ag...

Assessment of adhesion and durability of laminated safety glass made from end-of-life float glass

Abstract As part of urban mining initiatives aimed at reducing waste, CO 2 emissions and the extraction of raw materials, the demand for sustainable resource recovery and repurposing of construction materials is growing. With many European buildings due to be renovated to meet cu...

Modeling the concrete carbonation depth using a physics-guided CatBoost algorithm

Purpose This study aims to develop a physics-informed machine learning framework to improve carbonation depth prediction in reinforced concrete by integrating mechanistic knowledge with data-driven learning. Design/methodology/approach A CatBoost model incorporating ten physics-g...

The Distinct Roles of Anger and Hope in PFAS Risk Processing: Integrating Mixed Emotional Appeals and Efficacy Information into the EPPM

ABSTRACT Guided by the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM), this study examines the distinct persuasive mechanisms of mixed emotional appeals and efficacy information in the context of environmental risk communication (per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances, PFAS). Results of a 3...

Clonal lineage tracing and parallel multiomics profiling reveal transcriptional heterogeneity induced by ARID1A deficiency

Transcriptional heterogeneity drives malignant progression, yet how it emerges within tumors remains unclear. By combining genetic perturbation and lineage tracing with parallel single-cell multiomics, we tracked the consequences of ARID1A loss within individual clonal lineages....

Multivariate analysis identifies distinct latent components and highlights the contribution of motor cortex neurochemistry to clinical variance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is marked by substantial clinical heterogeneity across motor and extramotor domains, yet how different neuroimaging modalities jointly relate to this heterogeneity remains poorly understood. Prior ALS neuroimaging studies have largely...

Twelve-Hour Dynamic Monitoring of Microalgae Response to Oxidative Stress by Single-Cell Metabolomics Analysis

Abstract Cellular metabolism is inherently dynamic during stress responses, yet conventional single-cell metabolomics workflows remain largely limited to isolated snapshots. Here, we implemented an online, label-free CyESI-MS-based workflow for the continuous monitoring of single...

Interval type-3 fuzzy control with optimized active tuned mass dampers for seismic response reduction in high-rise buildings

This study proposes an Interval Type-3 Fuzzy Logic Controller (IT3-FLC) integrated with an Active Tuned Mass Damper (ATMD) for seismic vibration mitigation in an eleven-story high-rise building. The building–ATMD system is formulated in state-space form, while the fuzzy-controlle...

Lean tool selection in the context of Industry 4.0: a hybrid Pythagorean fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method

Purpose Lean 4.0 tools have been developed by integrating digital technologies with lean philosophy to support autonomous process improvement. This development addresses the limitations of traditional lean tools, which rely on manual observation and human effort and may be insuff...

Multimodal deep learning architecture for gym exercise recognition and real-time posture error detection using LSTM and RAG-based expert chatbot

The growing popularity of home fitness has led to an increase in home-based fitness training. Still, the lack of supervision by a trained professional has resulted in improper form, thereby increasing the risk of injury during exercise. Automated computer vision systems have also...

Diagnoses associated with reimbursement of cannabis for medical purposes among Canadian Veterans, 2016-23

Introduction : Canadian Veterans who are authorized to access cannabis for medical purposes (CMP) by a health care practitioner may be reimbursed for the cost by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). To assess eligibility for reimbursement, VAC receives and reviews medical authorization...

Perceived Time Availability for Self-Care and Quality of Life in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder: A Cross-Sectional Study in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) severely impairs quality of life (QoL), yet contextual constraints such as perceived time availability for self-care remain underexplored in low- and middle-income countries. This study evaluated multidimensional QoL and identified its...

Herpes simplex virus type 2 induces S-phase entry and arrest to regulate the cell cycle for efficient replication

Viruses often hijack core host cell processes to optimize their replication. In the current study, we conducted comparative proteomics analyses of epithelial cells infected by the prevalent human pathogen herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), followed by experimental validation. T...

Introduction of a digital care companion to facilitate patient reported outcome measures and breast care nurse-led survivorship

As part of the Breast Cancer Survivorship program in the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), a new electronic platform, Care Companion was designed to facilitate resource access, appointments and monitoring of breast cancer patients using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Th...

Optimizing pre-listening activities with AI-assisted priming for L2 listening comprehension

As second language (L2) listening presents significant real-time processing challenges for less competent L2 learners, pre-listening activities provide them with the much-needed mental scaffolding. Recent research has suggested that augmenting top-down predictive processing could...

Multilevel Resource Capacity and Inequality in Community Eldercare Access Among Older Adults in China: Household Living Arrangements as Conditional Contexts

Background/Objectives: Access to community eldercare reflects the joint distribution of economic resources, social protection, local infrastructure, and household circumstances. Drawing on the capability approach, this study examined whether multilevel resource capacity was assoc...
