Phenolic Compounds from Hibiscus sabdariffa L.: Extraction, Microencapsulation and Application in a Buttermilk-Based Fermented Dairy Beverage

Phenolic compound extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) exhibit promising functional and technological properties; however, their application in foods is limited by their susceptibility to degradation, making microencapsulation a promising strategy. This study aimed to test d...

Development and Validation of a Coronary Artery Calcium Volume and Density Score

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a useful tool for coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction. The current standard method, the Agatston score, weights plaque area upward by density. However, higher density is inversely associated with CHD. We aimed to devel...

Identification of venues for HIV prevention interventions through overlapping HIV transmission and venue elicitation networks

BACKGROUND: Understanding the role of physical venues in HIV transmission may be advantageous for targeting HIV prevention efforts, especially among groups experiencing high HIV incidence. SETTING: Large public clinic in Mexico City, Mexico. METHODS: We analyzed data from 7,502 p...

In Vitro and In Vivo Efficacy of the Broad-Spectrum β-Lactamase Inhibitor APC24-7 in Combination with Meropenem Against Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) represent a major therapeutic challenge, driven in part by serine β-lactamases (SBLs) and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). APC24-7 is a broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) designed to inhibit enzymes from both groups. Her...

Construction and Functional Engineering of Bio-Integrated Micro/Nanorobots for Theranostic Applications

Bio-integrated micro/nanorobots combine intrinsic biological properties with engineered capabilities, offering promising platforms for biomedical intervention. These systems can exploit biological motility, recognition and therapeutic activity while incorporating controlled navig...

What makes a school a fair territory? School climate and spatial (in)justice in secondary schools of Córdoba (Argentina)

In the aftermath of the pandemic, difficulties in regulating coexistence within school communities have intensified, underscoring the need to promote emotional well-being through the development of learning contexts grounded in care and inclusion. Despite this contextual emphasis...

Transient Electric Field Evolution in a 220 kV Cable Joint Under Switching Overvoltage Considering Measured Dielectric Dispersion

Switching energization imposes wideband transient voltages on cable joints, whereas conventional simulations often use frequency-independent properties for semiconductive field-control components. This study develops a measurement-informed time-domain workflow for a 220 kV cable...

Methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of coping behavior among female personnel of the Russian Federation's internal affairs agencies

Subject of study: the psychological characteristics of coping behavior among female personnel of the Russian Federation's internal affairs agencies—individuals whose professional duties require them to overcome difficult, stressful, and extreme situations. The aim of this work is...

The Proteomic Profiling of a Platelet-Enriched Fraction Identifies an Inflammatory and Immune-Related Signature Associated with Non-Response to Treatment with Plasma Rich in Growth Factors in Knee Osteoarthritis

Background: The use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a promising regenerative treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), but clinical response is heterogeneous. This study aimed to identify molecular features and explore clinical factors associated with PRGF non-response a...

Influence of the biomimetic textures inspired by Monstera deliciosa on the friction and wear of rolling bearings under starved lubrication

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the tribological performance of textured cylindrical roller thrust bearings under starved lubrication, with particular emphasis on the effects of various leaf-inspired textures, depths and their combinations. Design/methodology/approach Inspire...

Two-dimensional nanosheet-based solvent-free nanofluids: A systematic review from synthetic strategies and structural engineering to frontier applications

Solvent-free nanofluids (SFNs) transform inorganic nanomaterials into liquid-like hybrid systems through surface-engineered core-corona-canopy architectures, offering a promising route to overcome aggregation, poor processability, and solvent-related instability. While previous s...

The Universe: An Infinite‑Nested‑Hierarchy Cosmology Driven by Energy‑Centred Dual‑Dynamic‑Balance

General relativity and quantum mechanics are conventionally regarded as two separate frameworks for macro‑ and micro‑physics. This artificial scale segregation gives rise to puzzles including Hubble tension, galactic gravitational deficit and poorly‑understood black‑hole‑horizon...

ADSORPTION PROPERTIES OF Mg-MOF-74: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE DATA AND APPLICATION PROSPECTS

This review examines published data on gas adsorption in Mg-MOF-74 and the relationship between its structural features and adsorption performance. The roles of open magnesium sites, equilibrium CO2 uptake, gas mixture separation, and the effects of water vapor on active site acc...

A Temporal-Error State Architecture for Long-Horizon AI Agents

This record contains a research architecture proposal and evaluation protocol for the Temporal-Episodic Agent Architecture (TEAA), focused on long-horizon AI agents that must reason under deadlines, estimate task completion time, and adapt after execution failures. The proposed a...

Research on Multi-Time-Scale Optimal Scheduling of Hydro–Solar Complementation in the Shuoqu River Basin

The integration of high shares of renewable energy into the power grid poses significant challenges to the stable operation of power systems. Hydropower, owing to its rapid response capability and reservoir regulation capacity, can effectively mitigate the volatility and randomne...

Route-Dependent Effects of Pre-Existing Anti-Ad5 Immunity on Systemic, Mucosal and Lymph Node B Cell Responses to an Ad5-Vectored Vaccine

Background/Objectives: Pre-existing anti-Ad5 immunity (PEI) impairs the immunogenicity of intramuscular (IM) Ad5-vectored vaccines. Whether respiratory immunization can better preserve vaccine-induced immunity remains unclear. Methods: We established a murine PEI model to compare...

A Three-Layer Dependency-and-Logic Audit for Mathematical Proofs and AI-Generated Claims: The S/M/P × D/L Framework
