Adaptive stochastic resonance with period guidance for blind bearing fault detection

To address the limitations of stochastic resonance (SR) methods based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in blind fault detection of rolling bearings, a periodicity-guided adaptive SR method is proposed. First, an adaptive weighted squared envelope correlation sparse deconvolution me...

Microbial interactions as key players shaping the emergence and spread of de novo resistance mutations

Antibiotic resistance and the microbiome are two of the most prominent and highly active research areas currently in microbiology. However, these studies are commonly siloed. Research into antibiotic resistance often takes a highly pathogenic-centric view, and microbiome studies...

Adrenaline Use and Request for Emergency Medical Assistance to Manage Food Anaphylaxis

Summary Adrenaline was rarely used, medical assistance being requested in two thirds of anaphylaxis cases. Medical assistance request was less frequent if milder or no cardiovascular anaphylaxis symptoms.

Per- and PolyfluoroalkylSubstances in Pediatric CerebrospinalFluid: Evidence of Central Nervous System Exposure

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been implicated in neurodevelopmental toxicity, yet direct evidence of their presence within the central nervous system (CNS) of children remains limited. We quantified 12 PFAS in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 47 p...

Evaluation of in process heating for extrusion printing of tall thin-walled structures

Compared to other additive manufacturing processes, extrusion printing offers a cost-effective solution in prototyping thin-walled structures across diverse applications. However, transitioning these prototypes into fully functional parts remains difficult due to weak interlayer...

Self-Reinforcing Nanozyme-Integrated Microneedles Orchestrate Cascaded Regulation of ROS Homeostasis for Infected Wound Healing

Abstract Chronic diabetic wounds represent a severe complication of diabetes mellitus and a prototypical form of chronic nonhealing wounds, characterized by biofilm-associated infection, persistent inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis. Herein, a multifunctional microneedle pla...

Sexual Behaviour, HIV Prevention and Testing Among Transgender and Non-binary People in a Cross-Sectional Behavioural Surveillance Survey in Aotearoa New Zealand

Trans and non-binary (TNB) people who have sex with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM) are rarely included in HIV behavioural surveillance. Improved data on risk and protective behaviours among TNB people could help identify unmet needs. We analysed data from...

From Geometric Complexity to Informational Dimensionality in Scaffold-Guided Tissue Regeneration

Scaffold architecture shapes tissue regeneration through the mechanical, topographical, and biochemical cues it presents to cells, yet geometrically elaborate scaffolds do not reliably produce more organized tissues, while comparatively simple architectures can exert strong organ...

Does Trade-Oriented Policy Moderate Energy Transition for Economic Prosperity in ASEAN-7 Countries: Insight from a US-Centric Focus

This article looks at how trade, energy transition indicators, and economic prosperity are connected in the ASEAN-7 countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) from 1995 to 2021. Using dynamic panel data and panel threshold regress...

Limited Discriminatory Capacity of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Prediabetes and Increased Diabetes Risk: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background and Objectives: To determine whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived metrics can differentiate between normoglycemia, increased diabetes risk (FINDRISC+) and prediabetes and to assess whether CGM-derived metrics provide additional discriminatory information...

Assessment of the anticancer and antioxidant potentials of Spinosaurus tooth fossils: Application of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and field emission scanning electron microscopy techniques

Objectives: The study was undertaken to investigate the elemental composition, microstructural characteristics, anticancer activity, and antioxidant-related potential of fossilized Spinosaurus tooth material using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-disper...

Governance disclosure regimes and investor confidence: evaluating comply-or-explain mechanisms in African capital markets

Purpose This study aims to investigate how governance disclosure regimes, particularly comply-or-explain mechanisms, affect investor confidence across African capital markets. Focusing on South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt, it examines whether high-quality governance disclosures enh...

An interpretable frequency-domain matrix rank transformation and time-domain spatial graph attention enhancement network for rolling bearing fault diagnosis under strong noise environment

Extracting weak fault features obscured by environmental noise is a critical challenge. However, existing fault feature enhancement methods ignore the low-rank distribution of feature correlation structures, making it difficult to effectively extract critical fault information. T...

Clinical practice variation in chronic spine pain care: A multispecialty study

Objectives: Chronic spine pain is a highly prevalent condition that requires coordinated, guideline-concordant care integrating pharmacological management, psychosocial assessment, and appropriate diagnostic evaluation. However, variations in clinical practice across physician sp...

The Entity That Forms Subjects (EFS): Ontological Status, Properties, and Place in the Hierarchy of Forms of Matter

Title: The Entity That Forms Subjects (EFS): Ontological Status, Properties, and Place in the Hierarchy of Forms of Matter --- Important note: The title correctly translates as "The Entity That Forms Subjects" – not "Subjects Forming Entities". This is crucial: the entity is the...

Measurements of Japanese cedar growth on rough surface using spectral imaging analysis

Abstract Accurate measurement of tree-ring increments on rough wood surfaces in the field is essential for evaluating forest productivity and merchantability. Conventional imaging approaches are hindered by intensity non-uniformity across the cross-section, particularly between t...

Security Analysis of Temporal Convolutional Network-Based Side-Channel Attacks for AES Cryptographic Implementations

Profiling side-channel attacks based on deep learning can recover cryptographic information from power-consumption traces, but their effectiveness may be reduced when desynchronisation displaces informative leakage across temporal positions. This study investigates whether Tempor...

Mechanism of Autophagic Extracellular Vesicles Revealed

Recent work by Mao and colleagues identifies a distinct class of small extracellular vesicles, termed autophagic extracellular vesicles (AEVs), generated from amphisomes upon autophagy induction. In this commentary, we discuss how this study provides important mechanistic insight...

Choreographic Leadership Competencies in AI-Integrated Practice: Toward an Exploratory Conceptual Framework

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly embedded in movement generation and aesthetic decision-making processes, the choreographer’s role in dance performance becomes more complex. This study examines how choreographic leadership can be reconsidered when nonhu...

From Imperial Communication to Autonomous Script: Two Hypotheses on the Emergence and Social Transformation of West Semitic Writing

What if the first alphabet was not simply invented — but commissioned?This paper explores whether the emergence of early alphabetic writing in the Egyptian sphere may have been connected to the practical needs of imperial administration, military coordination, and control over mu...
