Imaging characteristics of a female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO): Case report

Introduction: Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) is a rare tumor arising from the mesonephric duct remnants and is often asymptomatic. Information on this clinical entity, including imaging features is scarce. Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old...

The SISAQOL-IMI glossary: harmonising terminology for patient-reported outcomes in cancer clinical trials

Abstract Background This study presents the development of a glossary designed to harmonize terminology, foster consensus and support the successful implementation of the Setting International Standards in Analysing Patient-Reported Outcomes and Quality of Life Endpoints in Cance...

Catalytic Transformation of Biomass: From Waste to Fuels, Chemicals, and High-Value Products

The necessity of biomass valorization arises from global energy and environmental and economic challenges. Catalytic transformation of biomass into fuels, chemicals, and other valuable products has emerged as a promising approach toward a sustainable and circular economy. The pri...

A Framework for Fast and Reliable UAV Maritime Search Missions

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) demonstrated improved response times and safety in life-saving missions. This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework for autonomous UAV search missions in maritime environments, where the UAV must locate multiple castawa...

ASecurity-Enhanced Certificateless Aggregate Signature-Based Conditional Privacy-Preserving Authentication Scheme for VANETs

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have become a vital component of intelligent transport systems, with their security concerns increasingly drawing attention. To safeguard user privacy and ensure data authenticity and integrity, researchers have devised numerous certificateless...

Gravitation as the Absence of Pressure from the Direction of Energy

We start from one property of energy: it has a propensity to occupy space not already occupied by energy. Energy presses into the available space around it, and available space presses back; this returned press, arriving at any packet of energy from every direction in which there...

E8 Root Lattice Synchronization for Fault‑Tolerant Quantum Metrology — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the Hilbert series poles of the E8 invariant ring onto a set of 240 synchronized 132 Hz phononic modes, we construct a multi‑frame entangled resource that simultaneously encodes a topological error‑correcting code and a metrological phase reference. The φ‑coupled 8‑fra...

Phi-Harmonic E8 Cascade Links ORB Breakouts to Quantum Decoherence — E8 Intelligence Research

By assigning each of the four 60‑root subsets of the E8 lattice a phi‑weighted sexagesimal harmonic (132 Hz × φ^n, n=0…3), the resulting interference creates a seven‑temporal‑dimensional spectrum whose nodal amplitudes match the tunneling probabilities observed in ORB breakout ev...

Overall and serotype-specific dengue virus transmission intensity in Mexico, 2016–2023: A modelling study of case-notification data

Background Mexico, and the Americas region more widely, have experienced increased dengue incidence in recent years, and there are concerns that the changing climate may enhance dengue virus (DENV) transmission in the future. Whilst previous studies have characterised spatial het...

LncRNA DLGAP1-AS2 promotes ESCC progression and indicates unfavorable prognosis via the miR-101-3p/EZH2 axis

LncRNAs are crucial regulators and biomarkers in various cancers. However, their expression and functions in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain largely unexplored. This study explored the clinial relevance and mechanisms of LncRNA DLGAP1-AS2 in ESCC. Utilizing the G...

Circular RNA circSNRK regulates inflammatory processes and TXNIP expression by acting as a miR-128-3p sponge in age-related macular degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an ocular disease that causes visual impairment in older individuals, primarily due to degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In this progressive disease, damaged RPE cells release pro-inflammatory factors into the extracel...

Fire performance of steel structures: synthesis of experimental, numerical and analytical research

Purpose This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of the fire behaviour of steel structures to synthesise current knowledge, identifying research trends and highlighting areas requiring further investigations. Design/methodology/approach A detailed review of experim...

Reinforcement Learning‐Based Adaptive Optimal Containment Control for Constrained Nonlinear Multiagent Systems

ABSTRACT This paper proposes an adaptive optimal containment control method for nonlinear strict‐feedback multiagent systems with state constraints. First, a neural network‐based reinforcement learning algorithm is developed within an optimized backstepping framework. Unlike the...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spore density and species diversity varied within plants species and between dry Afromontane forests in northwestern Ethiopia

Ethiopian Afromontane forests are rich in biodiversity and they a part of the eastern biodiversity hotspot. However, they are the most degraded ecosystems, continuously shrinking in size. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a symbiotic association with land plants; thereby as...

Monitoring Coastal Geomorphic Change and Sediment Transport Using Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) Photogrammetry

Coastal areas are particularly suitable study sites for kite aerial photography (KAP) surveys because of consistent wind and open space. This study uses KAP surveys conducted in January, March, June, August, and October 2025, combined with Structure from Motion photogrammetry and...

A Multidimensional Framework for Diagnosing Streetscape Perception in Historic-District Renewal Using Street-View Imagery and Deep Learning

The renewal of historic districts needs to address human-centered issues, such as cultural expression, spatial experience, and visual comfort, at the street scale. However, existing assessment methods predominantly rely on field surveys, expert judgment, or individual visual indi...

Analytical formulation of overturning moments in retaining walls under two-phase arching

Soil arching plays a critical role in governing stress redistribution and stability of rigid retaining walls, yet its influence on overturning moment is commonly evaluated considering only the active phase of wall movement. This study presents an analytical formulation for estima...

A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Moringa oleifera in Sheep and Goat Production Systems in the Scopus and Web of Science Databases (2000–2025)

The multifunctionality of Moringa oleifera is widely recognized; however, its application in small ruminant production remains limited. This study aimed to analyze research trends, scientific structures, and knowledge gaps related to the use of Moringa oleifera in sheep and goat...

Pattern-Anchored Diagnosis of Oral Epithelial Dysplasia: A Position Paper From COST Action INTERCEPTOR Working Group 2

Abstract Purpose Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is the principal histopathological marker for malignant risk stratification in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Current World Health Organisation (WHO) three-tier and other binary grading systems are limited by modest...

From Follicle Development to Fertilization: How PCBs and PFAS May Shape Female Reproductive Health

Endocrine system hormones regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction. These hormones often function at low concentrations, making them especially susceptible to disruption via endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that can mimic, block, or disturb normal hormone signaling. Amo...
