Hybrid dynamic feature convolution with transformer fusion model for the detection of intrusion during manufacturing process

Intrusion detection is essential in contemporary manufacturing systems. These are vulnerable to various cyber threats due to the integration of cyber-physical systems and continuous data exchange. Traditional intrusion detection systems include statistical models and standard mac...

How reliable is percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy during the learning curve? A comparison of outcomes with microsurgical discectomy experiences

We aimed to share our early experience with percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) during the initial phase of the learning curve and to compare its clinical and perioperative outcomes with microsurgical discectomy (MD) in selected patients with symptomatic lumb...

Magnetic fields and agro-industrial by-products as sustainable approaches to enhance carotenoid and lipid production by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa

This study aimed to evaluate magnetic fields (MF) and agro-industrial media as sustainable approaches to produce carotenoids and lipids by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Cultivations were carried out in shaken flasks with previously optimized agro-industrial media with sugarcane molas...

Dental caries among 12-year-old adolescents in shanghai: a cross-sectional study on prevalence, severity, and associated risk factors

This study aimed to assess the prevalence, severity, and associated factors of dental caries in permanent teeth among 12-year-old adolescents in Shanghai, China. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 among 1,305 adolescents from six randomly selected districts. Clinical e...

An Action-masking and Self-labeling-based Learning Method for Block Sequencing and Bay Assignment Optimization in Shipbuilding Panel Lines

The block sequencing and bay assignment problem in a shipbuilding panel line is a complex combinatorial scheduling problem in which upstream serial processes and downstream parallel bay processes are coupled under multiple operational constraints. In practical panel-line planning...

Robust State Estimation via Dual-threshold NIS-based Kalman-FIR Switching

This study proposes a robust state estimation framework for discrete-time linear time-invariant systems using a statistically grounded switching mechanism between the Kalman filter (KF) and the optimal finite impulse response (OFIR) filter. While the KF provides minimum-variance...

Latent subtypes and gender differences in the comorbidity of depression and sleep disturbances among adolescents: insights from network analysis and latent profile analysis

This study aimed to explore potential subtypes, influencing factors, and gender differences in the associations between adolescent depression and sleep disorders. A cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents utilizing the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Sca...

A Novel Methodology for Temporal Analysis of Consumer Wearable Sleep Data: Feasibility and Application to Early Cognitive Impairment

While sleep disturbances are recognized as early markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the practical application of gold-standard polysomnography (PSG) for long-term monitoring is limited. This study aims to establish a novel methodological framework for the time-series analysis o...

Comparative phytotoxicity of PFOS and its substitute OBS in mulberry and implications for a mulberry-silkworm exposure system

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) is a persistent perfluoroalkyl substance known to exert adverse effects on soil and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the toxicological risks of its substitutes, particularly sodium p-perfluorinated nonenoxybenzene sulfonate (OBS), and their im...

Suspected donor-vessel ischemia in a collateral-dependent right coronary artery occlusion presenting as a de Winter-like pattern with inferior ST-segment elevation: a case report

The de Winter electrocardiographic pattern is a recognized equivalent of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and is most commonly associated with acute left anterior descending artery ischemia. Its coexistence with overt ST-segment elevation in another territory is uncommo...

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for metastatic vulvar extramammary Paget’s disease involving supraclavicular nodes: a case report

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare adenocarcinoma with a poor prognosis when invasive.Here, we report an exceptionally rare case of invasive vulvar EMPD in a 70-year-old woman who presented with extensive lymphadenopathy involving the inguinal, pelvic, para-aortic, and...

Effects of monensin residues on microbial community and the attenuation of antibiotic resistance genes during chicken manure composting

Monensin is a polyether ionophore antibiotic widely used to prevent coccidiosis and inhibit Gram-positive bacteria. Composting is widely regarded as an effective strategy for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in manure. However, the long half-life of mo...

Mode of diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer recurrence and survival: a retrospective study

Randomized studies failed to show a survival benefit for screening asymptomatic breast cancer (BC) survivors for metastases, however, their relevance to the era of modern systemic therapies is unknown. Socioeconomic status (SES) may confound the association between mode of diagno...

Design and synthesis of 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine linked chalcone derivatives and their antimalarial activity evaluation

A series of nine triazine-chalcone hybrid compounds (7a–i) were designed and synthesized through a molecular hybridization strategy integrating 1,3,5-triazine and chalcone moieties. The hybrids were synthesized via sequential nucleophilic substitution reactions and characterized...

Vegetative Barrier Acts as a ‘Trapper’ Rather than a ‘Filter’ for Potentially Toxic Element Contaminated Wind-Erodible Particles at the Vicinity of an Industrial Brownfield: Evaluation of a Nature-Based Solution

Brownfields can represent sources of multiple contaminants and may present health risks through airborne particle dispersion and incidental soil ingestion for surrounding populations. Remediation with nature-based solutions to mitigate legacy industrial pollution is therefore a r...

Precision switching from entecavir to tenofovir alafenamide in chronic hepatitis B: matching the patient phenotype to efficacy, safety, and value: a narrative review

Switching patients who are virologically stable with chronic hepatitis B from entecavir to tenofovir alafenamide has become routine in Korea; however, the literature has established whether switching works at the population level rather than at the patient level. This review refr...

A multi-database machine learning approach to predict depression and frailty in elderly populations with chronic conditions

Depression and frailty frequently co-occur in older adults with chronic disease, significantly impairing physical and psychological health; however, their bidirectional association remains unclear. Data from four large population-based cohorts—CHARLS, HRS, KLOSA, and SHARE—were c...

School leadership for improvement through resource allocation and infrastructure development in rural schools

Effective school improvement in resource-constrained settings depends on leadership that navigates persistent structural limitations, yet empirical evidence from rural Ethiopia remains scarce. This study contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) by examining how leade...

Magnetization Reversal by Electric Field in Co-substituted BiFeO3
