Progressive degradation-aware distillation for robust indoor object detection

Indoor object detection in real-world deployments often suffers from severe performance degradation due to complex structural corruptions such as motion blur, sensor noise, and compression artifacts, which are exacerbated by low-resolution capture in resource-constrained settings...

Artificial intelligence driven personalized adaptive training system for individual differences in competitive sports

The current competitive sports training system generally neglects individual differences, leading to significant inter-individual variations in training effects. To address this issue, this study developed an AI-based personalized adaptive training scheme system. A 12-week interv...

Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticle Delivery of siTRIB3 Inhibits EMT and Stemness in NSCLC

Background: TRIB3 is upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and associates with worse survival, yet targeted therapeutics remain lacking. Calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles offer biocompatible, serum-stable delivery for siRNA therapy. Here, we developed CaP nanopart...

Surfing for sustainability: Innovation and environmental challenges in the surf industry

The surf industry, despite its strong connection to nature, faces significant environmental challenges due to the use of non-renewable materials and unsustainable production practices. This study analyzed the environmental impacts associated with the production and disposal of su...

Co-teaching strategies and experiences in nursing education: An integrative review of pedagogical practices

Background Co-teaching refers to instruction jointly planned and implemented by two or more teachers to achieve shared learning goals. It supports multidisciplinary learning and the development of students' collaboration skills. Although co-teaching is used in nursing education,...

Multi-scale evapotranspiration and evaporative stress as indicators of vegetation health and drought response – an application in central Missouri, USA

Satellite estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) based on thermal infrared retrievals of land-surface temperature enable monitoring of vegetation water use and health/stress at sub-field to global scales. The information content of these products varies with pixel size, reflecting...

Flow Shaping Principle — Correspondence-Calibrated Pathway-Specific Updating

Adaptive systems can assign persistent change to configurations through which consequential episodes pass. This paper formulates the Flow Shaping Principle (FSP) as a falsifiable claim about veridical consequence-configuration correspondence. FSP concerns active updating only. Fo...

Libraries and Their Role in the Scholarly Renaissance during the Umayyad Era in al-Andalus (138–422 AH)

تناولت هذه الدراسة موضوع المكتبات ودورها في النهضة العلمية في عهد الدولة الأموية في الأندلس، بوصفها أحد أهم المرتكزات الحضارية التي أسهمت في ازدهار الحياة الفكرية والعلمية. وهدفت الدراسة إلى إبراز نشأة المكتبات وتطورها، سواء كانت مكتبات عامة أو خاصة، مع التركيز على الجهود التي بذ...

Improving methods for identifying pair bonds in animal social networks

In social animals, maintaining strong bonds with conspecifics can be important for reproduction and survival. However, it remains unclear how best to quantify these bonds. Existing social network techniques typically focus on building robust overall networks of co-occurrences but...

A Conjecture of Matter:Gravitational Bastion Mathematical Framework—— Analytical Boundary Conditions for Planetary Attitude Evolution in the Outer Solar System

This paper presents an analytical mathematical framework for investigating the gravitational constraints imposed by the coupled giant‑planet system on the rotational evolution of inner bodies in the outer Solar System. Within this framework, the Saturn–Neptune 2:5 orbital resonan...

End of life in the ICU: A scoping review of factors associated with moral distress in critical care nurses

BACKGROUND: Moral distress is common among critical care nurses providing end-of-life (EOL) care, yet contributing factors are not fully synthesized. PURPOSE: To summarize the literature on factors influencing moral distress in adult ICU nurses delivering EOL care. METHODS: A sco...
