The Hoof as the Sentinel of Systemic Failure: The Lameness Triad and the Susceptibility–Resilience Gate in Dairy Cows

Lameness is a major welfare and economic disorder in dairy production and a clinical sign with multiple causes. This review focuses on claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL), a major cause of periparturient lameness. Although hoof-centered prevention and treatment remain essential,...

C-Reactive Protein-to-Albumin Ratio and Its Association with Inflammatory and Renal Parameters in Multiple Myeloma

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by systemic inflammation and frequent renal involvement. The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) has emerged as a potential inflammation-based biomarker; however, its clinical significance in MM r...

“Orthoplastic” Collaboration in fracture-related infection management reflects case complexity and is associated with achievable infection control

Background: The purpose of this study was to characterize fracture-related infection (FRI) cases requiring plastic surgery involvement and to evaluate infection-related outcomes in the setting of “orthoplastic collaboration.” Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all p...

Adaptive drop-deployable visible light communication-based underwater sensing probe

Covering under 0.1% of the ocean’s surface, coral reefs support about 30% of all marine life. Nevertheless, this fragile ecosystem is experiencing an extinction threat due to overexploitation and anthropogenically driven pressure. High-frequency and widespread observations are es...

Designing Human-Centric GenAI for Medical Hospitality: A Prototype-Based Approach

This paper explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to transform medical hospitality underpinned by service-dominant logic and technology acceptance model. This paper examines how GenAI-enabled systems can bridge the divide between healthcare and hospi...

Scaled-Up Microwave-Assisted Continuous Pyrolysisfor Mixed Plastic Waste Valorization: Process Design and Techno-EconomicAnalysis toward Technology Industrialization

Abstract The industrial deployment of plastic waste pyrolysis is still limited by capital intensity, electrification costs, and uncertainty in product value and scale-dependent profitability. Here, we report a parametric techno-economic analysis (TEA) of continuous microwave-assi...

Benchmarking farmers’ irrigation decisions using farm competition data and a crop growth model

Abstract Rising irrigation demand and declining groundwater resources threaten the sustainability of irrigated maize production in Nebraska. Benchmarking farmers’ applied irrigation against optimal amounts offers insight into management performance and highlights opportunities fo...

Double-series expansion of the LRF method for fast-converging solutions of higher-order fractional PDEs with classical initial conditions

A new iterative analytic solution method of fractional linear partial differential equations with classical constraint conditions is developed. The method is based on a formula using generalized Taylor series, and a double fractional power series expansion has been used to provid...

Adsorption Behavior and Mechanistic Study of Arsenic Removal from Water Using Lanthanum Cobalt Ferrite Nano Composite Materials

The presence of arsenic in water bodies is one of the most important environmental and public health issues worldwide because of its persistence, toxicity, and cancer-causing properties. Water treatment technologies have been widely used have some drawbacks such as low efficiency...

Optically ResponsiveField-Effect Transistors Basedon Graphene/Diarylethene Hybrid Films

Abstract Photochromic molecules are emerging as key components in advanced optoelectronic systems owing to their ability to undergo reversible light-induced structural transformations that modulate their optical and electronic properties. Here, we investigate the optical response...

Connected Counterexamples for Target Ramsey Numbers

We answer an open problem of Chartrand and Zhang concerning target Ramsey numbers. We prove that there exist infinitely many connected graphs whose target Ramsey number is strictly larger than their ordinary Ramsey number. The proof combines an elementary counting lower bound wit...

Symbolic or Substantive? The Impact of Managerial Climate Awareness on Firms' Sustainability

ABSTRACT This study examines whether managerial climate awareness contributes to symbolic or substantive sustainability of Chinese publicly listed firms. We find that only when managers' climate awareness is high enough will they significantly drive firms toward substantive susta...

Modelling the degradation of externally bonded post-tensioning tendons including bond-slip behaviour

In recent years, brittle fractures of externally bonded post-tensioning tendons have been observed in bridges worldwide, compromising structural safety and durability. Consequently, concern has increased about the mechanical behaviour of these elements when strand or wire breakag...

What's Inside the Green Bag ? An Analysis of the Eco‐Design Options and a Visual Tool for the Development of Sustainable Fashion Accessories

ABSTRACT Integrating eco‐design practices in product development from the start is essential for fashion accessories like bags and backpacks, which involve complex manufacturing, diverse materials, and strong socio‐cultural meanings. Building on this premise and drawing from the...

Research progress and clinical application of biomarkers in neuropathic pain

Abstract Neuropathic pain (NP) is a subtype of refractory chronic pain that currently presents three major difficulties in diagnosis and therapy in that clinicians must depend on patient complaints for the diagnosis, physicians find it difficult to recognize the disease early, an...

Novel gas tungsten powder filler metal arc welding process

Abstract In the present investigation, an innovative and patented welding process referred to as gas tungsten powder filler metal arc welding (GTPFAW) has been developed, utilizing a micro powder mixture as a filler metal in lieu of conventional welding wires. This approach prese...

Generative AI as a Learning Partner or Pedagogical Challenge? Insights from Pre-service Teachers

This study investigates how pre-service teachers experience generative artificial intelligence tools in their learning processes and how they plan to integrate these technologies into their future teaching practices. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological design and wa...

Optimizing mini nutritional assessment as a prognostic tool in oncology: evidence from 50 hospitals

Objectives Diagnosing malnutrition in older individuals with excess weight is challenging, as commonly used tools rely on anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI) and calf circumference (CC), which can be affected by excess weight. To partially address this concern,...
