Development and Implementation of an Interactive Physician-Directed Nutrition Curriculum for Elementary School Students: Case Study from an Urban Public Elementary School

Background Childhood obesity remains a growing public health concern in the United States, however, opportunities for preventive nutrition education particularly during pediatric clinic visits are limited. Although elementary schools are an ideal setting for nutrition education,...

Electrochemically‐Driven Geometric Restructuring of Bismuth on Helical Carbon Nanorods Boosts H 2 O 2 Electrosynthesis

ABSTRACT Understanding how catalysts restructure under operational conditions is vital for identifying active sites and designing efficient electrocatalysts for the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR), a promising route for synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )....

The study evaluated the Technology Innovation Management and Competitive Advantage of Telecommunication Firms in Enugu State. The specific objectives are to: Examine the relationship between innovation adoption and service differentiation; and evaluate the relationship between te...

Detecting Degradation in DC Fast Chargers from Single-Sided OCPP Telemetry

Charge point operators hold years of Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) telemetry collected for billing, and almost none of it is used to assess the health of the hardware producing it. This is a missed opportunity, because the industry's standard health metric, uptime, is known t...

Dental Students' Use of Captions and Transcripts: Implications for ADA WCAG 2.1 Compliance

OBJECTIVES: This study examined how Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) students use captions and transcripts, their motivations for use, and their perceived learning benefits, with attention to accessibility and upcoming ADA compliance requirements. METHODS: A cross-sectional, anony...

Neural Correlates of Social Influence on Construction Hazard Cognition: Insights from ERP Components

Abstract Effectively investigating cognitive factors underlying unsafe behaviors of construction workers is critical for reducing construction site accidents. While previous studies have emphasized perceptual and attentional mechanisms, limited research has examined how social in...

Entrepreneurial enablers of agile digital transformation in Iranian SMEs: a hybraid Delphi–BWM approach

Purpose Agile digital transformation (ADT) is essential for small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) competitiveness, particularly in emerging economies facing institutional fragility. In Iran, sanctions, limited access to advanced technologies and market volatility intensify the...

Sport Development Index: A New Measure and Strategic Policy in Sport and Its Relation to Human Capital Investment in Indonesia

This research aims to develop an instrument to measure sports development in a comprehensive and integrated way. The research was designed in two stages: instrument development and implementation. Study 1 was carried out using focus group discussions and instrument testing on 120...

Structure‐Engineered Nanoporous Vanadium Oxide Memristors for Reconfigurable Synapse–Neuron Integration and Synergistic Robotic Motion

ABSTRACT Neuromorphic sensory‐to‐motor interfaces require compact devices that can combine nonvolatile synaptic weight storage with volatile neuronal firing, yet these functions typically rely on distinct material and circuit mechanisms. Here, we report a structure‐engineered VO...

Toward a Comparative Identification of Common Regularities Across Scientific Disciplines: A Vitological Methodological Framework

В данной статье разработана методологическая основа для сравнительной идентификации, классификации и проверки предполагаемых общих закономерностей в различных научных дисциплинах в рамках витологии. Ее основная цель — исследовать возможные междисциплинарные закономерности жизнесп...

Polynomial Stability of the Timoshenko Beam System with a Fractional Dynamic Boundary Feedback

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a Timoshenko beam system in which the free end carries a tip mass subject to a restoring spring force and a tempered Caputo fractional damping force with parameter η>0 (the case η=0 is left as an open problem). Using a diffusive state...

Towards an Archaeological Workflow for SedaDNA Sample Collection: Methods and Best Practices for Minimising Surface Contamination

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) has been successfully recovered from diverse contexts, enabling researchers to address paleoenvironmental questions such as ecosystem changes and climatic shifts, along with archaeological questions related to past human activities, diet, health,...

High‐Entropy Oxides Facilitated Heterojunction Engineering With Superlattice Cd 0.6 Mn 0.4 S for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

This study successfully constructed a highly efficient and stable photocatalytic system based on a triple synergistic catalytic mechanism involving multimetal component synergy, interfacial charge rearrangement, and Schottky barrier modulation. One‐dimensional axially oriented su...

Tribenzotriquinacene Fused Dimers (“Fusodimers”)—Synthesis and Host–Guest Properties

ABSTRACT The synthesis and structural properties of two stereoisomeric tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) derivatives, syn ‐ 4 and anti ‐ 4 , in which two rigid TBTQ bowls share a common benzene ring, are described. Owing to the orthogonal orientation of the three indane wings in each o...

Design, Modeling and Performance Analysis of an Actively Variable Stiffness Pneumatic Flexible Bending Joint

The contradiction between high compliance and low load-bearing capacity of flexible manipulators limits their engineering applications. Meanwhile, the theoretical modeling of the deformation and variable stiffness characteristics of flexible joints still faces considerable challe...

Laboratory-Specific Comparison of KASP and a Locally Implemented Gel-Based T-ARMS PCR Workflow for Targeted CSN2 Codon-67 Genotyping in a Holstein–Friesian Panel

Targeted CSN2 codon-67 genotyping supports A2-oriented breeding and herd management. We compared Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) with a locally implemented gel-based tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR (T-ARMS PCR) workflow in a balanced, non-populati...

A Probabilistic Framework for Cumulative Boat-Damage Risk in Marinas: Application to Stray-Current Monitoring and the Marina Boat Safety Index

This paper presents a probabilistic framework for estimating cumulative boat-damage risk caused by electrical leakage in marina waters. The model combines random leakage events, boat-occupancy intervals, periodic monitoring, detection failures, corrective-response effectiveness,...
