From waste materials to product design through micro industrial symbiosis

This study investigates the untapped potential of redesigning waste materials—specifically, pre-consumer waste or “new waste”—to create value while mitigating environmental impact. Using a multiple case study methodology, we examine 19 collaborations between manufacturing and des...

Serum proteomic profiling reveals LPA As a biomarker for paraspinal muscle fat infiltration in degenerative lumbar kyphosis

Paraspinal muscle fat infiltration (PMFI) plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of degenerative lumbar kyphosis (DLK). Dynamic identification and validation of serum potential biomarkers could facilitate assessment of PMFI status. A total of 47 patients with DLK and 4...

Narrative Rewriting and Reward Feedback

Narrative Rewriting and Reward Feedback is a hypothesis model developed by András Kevereschán to describe how an initially conscious or partly conscious distortion of context may gradually become a narrative experienced as subjectively true. The model integrates self-image protec...

Development and validation of the Transgender Violence and Discrimination Scale (TVDS)

Violence and discrimination against transgender individuals are significant global health and human rights concerns, yet reliable and valid instruments to measure these experiences are lacking, particularly in the Iranian context. The present study aimed to develop and validate a...

The effect of augmented protein intake on nitrogen balance: A nested cohort study of the TARGET protein trial

Purpose The impact of augmenting enteral protein delivery on nitrogen balance, urea generation, and kidney function in critically ill patients remains poorly defined. This study aimed to investigate these effects in a nested cohort within the TARGET Protein trial. Methods We cond...

Application Study of Image Processing Transfer Learning Based on TOPSIS Algorithm in Water Quality Resource Monitoring and Evaluation Model

Aiming at the monitoring and evaluation model of water quality resources, this study deeply discusses the application of image processing transfer learning based on TOPSIS algorithm. By combining the advantages of multi-attribute decision making analysis of TOPSIS algorithm with...

Application Effect Evaluation of TOPSIS Algorithm in Water Quality Resource Image Processing Based on Neural Network

In this study, the application of TOPSIS algorithm based on neural network in water quality resource image processing is deeply explored, and its practical application effect is evaluated through detailed data analysis. In this study, a large number of water quality resource imag...

Identification of key hub genes in response to acute hypoxia stress under different chronic salinities of giant freshwater prawn based on WGCNA analysis

The salinity and hypoxia in inland and estuarine waters would cause stress on crustaceans especially the catadromous species. The giant freshwater prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ) is a typical catadromous species which naturally spawn and hatch in estuarine waters and grow up...

Deep molecular profiling of lung neuroendocrine tumours and supra-carcinoids

BACKGROUND: Lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs, also known as carcinoids) are rapidly rising in incidence worldwide but have unknown aetiology and limited therapeutic options beyond surgery. The current WHO classification, based on mitotic count and presence or absence of necrosis...

Water Level Measurement in a Multi-Bent Pipeline Environment Using Ultrasonic Based CNN

초음파를 활용하여 다중 굴곡 관 환경에서 수위를 측정하기 위한 CNN 기반 분류 모델을 구성한다. 기존의 수위 측정 방식은 직선 구조나 단순한 환경을 대상으로 한 경우가 많으며, 굴곡이나 장애물이 존재하는 관 환경에서는 신호의 산란과 다중 반사로 인해 정확도가 저하되는 문제가 있다. 이를 해...

From ANCA-mediated vascular injury to coronary microvascular and myocardial involvement in granulomatosis with polyangiitis: an immunocardiology perspective

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a prototypical antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis characterized by necrotizing inflammation of small- and medium-sized vessels with granulomatous features. Although advances in immunosuppressive therapy have...

Liquid-Crystal Quantum-Photonic Processor (LCQPP) Architecture

We propose a Liquid-Crystal Quantum-Photonic Processor (LCQPP) architecture based on a parallel array of independently electrically addressable ferroelectric-nematic liquid-crystal (FNLC) cells. A common optical initialization is combined with local information encoding through v...

Combining chemotherapy and cold atmospheric plasma treatment: Empirical and theoretical insights

Chemotherapy remains a cornerstone in oncology, but drug resistance and dose-dependent side effects limit its efficacy. Cold atmospheric plasma emerges as a powerful tool that can sensitize cancer cells and synergize with chemotherapy. It is an ionized gas and an exogenous source...

An ultralightweight anode-exhaust-driven micro-ejector enabling zero-parasitic-power cathode air supply for compact fuel cell systems

An ultralightweight (0.2 g) stereolithographically fabricated micro-ejector was developed for passive cathode air supply in compact proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEFC) systems. Unlike conventional miniature fuel cell systems that rely on mechanical air pumps and incur signi...

Pretraining vagus nerve stimulation differently influences cognition and anxiety-like behavior in male and female rats across estrous cycle stages

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has previously been shown to enhance cognitive performance in rats when administered post-behavioral paradigm training. However, the effects of VNS administered pre-training, and its potential sex and hormonal dependencies, are not well understood. H...

Emotional interactive experiences in different environments and cultures: machine learning-based electrocardiogram analysis of the emotional elicitation effect in augmented reality

Emotions are dynamic feedback mechanisms by which individuals respond to external stimuli, and the environment profoundly influences their changes. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate healing and inclusive considerations into public environmental design. This study combines...

Evaluation and Comparison of Bus Travel Time Reliability, Focused on Busan BRT and Non-BRT

도심 교통 혼잡 해소를 위한 대중교통 활성화 정책이 지속됨에 따라, 버스 서비스 수준을 결정짓는 핵심 가치로서 버스 통행시간 신뢰성의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 부산광역시 내 간선급행버스체계(BRT)와 중앙버스전용차로가 설치되지 않은 구간(Non-BRT)을 대상으로 실제 버스...

General perceptions and self-reported uses of the internet and social media among Dominican students in different socioeconomic contexts

This study analyses self-reported uses of the Internet and social media (ISM), students’ perceptions of to what extent ISM contributes to expanding basic human capabilities, and the relationship between these uses and perceptions, taking socioeconomic factors into account. A cros...

BMP-2-driven osteo-organoid formation retains key osteogenic-support features and promotes bone repair following total-body irradiation

Irradiation stress causes persistent skeletal injury by disrupting marrow homeostasis, stromal function, and bone repair. However, the temporal remodeling of the native bone microenvironment and the capacity of a biomaterial-induced osteogenic environment to sustain regeneration...

UWB Radar-Based Classification of Marine Debris
