Raw pyrite tailings as fine aggregate in mortar: performance and potential for architectural surface design

The accumulation of pyrite tailings (PT) poses severe environmental threats, yet its potential as a secondary resource for the construction sector remains underexplored. This study presents a preliminary investigation of raw PT as a partial substitute for fine aggregate in mortar...

Filtering spinal cord stimulation artifacts while preserving muscle activity during exoskeleton assisted walking after spinal cord injury

Analyzing surface electromyography in the presence of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation requires the filtering of electrical stimulation artifacts. Limitations of previous filtering approaches include the use of a uniform filter and excessive removal of muscle activity of in...

Promotion of sensorimotor and attentional development for infants at elevated likelihood of autism: single case experimental design of novel caregiver implemented NDBI

Infants with familial autism are at elevated likelihood for future neurodevelopmental needs, including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and clinically significant cognitive and behavioral challenges. Science is advancing the near-future ability...

Incomplete Shone’s complex as a rare cardiac manifestation of Coffin–Lowry syndrome: a case report

Coffin-Lowry syndrome is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the RPS6KA3 gene, characterized by distinctive craniofacial features, skeletal abnormalities, and neurodevelopmental impairment. Although cardiac involvement has been reported in Coffin-Low...

A framework to compare the performance of spatial disaggregation methods of statistical climate downscaling in South America

Study region Chile and South America. Study focus Climate change is simulated at a coarse scale with General Circulation Models. Impact and regional studies require downscaling to increase spatial resolution. Several downscaling methods exist, but most studies do not analyze or c...

A nomogram for distinguishing ovarian endometrioma in patients with endometriosis: a retrospective study based on clinical indicators

Among the subtypes of endometriosis (EMs), ovarian endometrioma (OE) causes the most direct and progressive damage to ovarian reserve function. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for OE in patients with EMs, and to develop and validate a clinical classification...

Machine learning-based analysis of behavioral and dental plaque microbiome features associated with dental caries in 5-year-old children from urban and rural Yunnan

This study aimed to integrate questionnaire-based oral health behavior data with dental plaque microbiome profiles to identify behavioral and microbiological factors associated with dental caries among 5-year-old children from urban and rural areas of Yunnan Province. It also eva...

Time to sputum culture conversion and associated factors among rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients treated with Bedaquiline at Mulago hospital, Uganda

Sputum culture conversion in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is the most important interim indicator for drug-resistant (DR) tuberculosis (TB) treatment effectiveness. Bedaquiline-based regimens offer the possibility of more effective and less toxic treatment for DR TB...

Attention-gated hybrid ANN–TCN–BiLSTM framework with explainable AI for operational efficiency classification in PV–EV microgrids

The increasing integration of photovoltaic (PV) generation and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure into microgrids creates operational challenges arising from renewable intermittency, stochastic charging demand, and varying grid dependence. This study proposes an explai...
