Mitogenomic insights into the evolutionary relationships of the endemic Dawkinsia austellus and Dawkinsia lepida (Cyprinidae: Smiliogastrinae)

Dawkinsia is a genus of small to medium-sized, ray-finned freshwater cyprinid fishes commonly called barbs. These fish are endemic to the rivers of South India. In this study, we sequenced the first two Dawkinsia species, namely Dawkinsia austellus and Dawkinsia lepida , to exami...

Changes in spatial cognition through self-as-context: Difference between spatial perspective taking and mental rotation

Self-as-context (SAC) is a key concept in acceptance and commitment therapy. Interventions that promote SAC enable clients to objectively view private events, thereby reducing their impact. Currently, most SAC measures rely on self-reports, necessitating the development of behavi...

Prevalence of obesityand proteinuria with associated factors among diabetic patients attending Kumasi South Hospital, Ghana

Diabetes mellitus is frequently accompanied by obesity, hypertension, and renal complications that increase morbidity and mortality. Evidence on factors associated with proteinuria among people with diabetes in Ghana remains limited. This study determined the prevalence of obesit...

A Linear Regression based Virtual Metrology Model for Local Ice Loads under Diverse Ice Collision Scenarios

국부빙하중은 쇄빙선 설계 시 구조적 안전성을 확보하기 위한 핵심 요인이다. 하지만 실선 시험 데이터만으로는 충돌 조건을 명확히 확인하기 어렵기 때문에, 다양한 빙 충돌 상황을 고려한 영향계수 행렬을 통해 국부빙하중을 추정하는 데 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 구조해석 데이터에서 충돌 조...

Mesenteric Hyaline Vascular Castleman Disease Presenting as Acute Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction

The Annali Italiani di Chirurgia (ISSN/eISSN: 0003-469X/2239-253X) is the oldest surgical journal in Italy. It covers all aspects of surgery and its allied disciplines, including elective, emergency and experimental surgery, as well as problems involving technology, teaching, org...

Machine learning-based prediction of morphophysiological, ionic, and biochemical responses of Lolium multiflorum to salinity stress

Salinity is a major constraint on the establishment and productivity of annual ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum Lam.). This study evaluated the effects of NaCl stress on the germination, growth, mineral composition, and biochemical responses of four annual ryegrass cultivars (‘Grass...

Fabrication and performance evaluation of trapezoidal surface-layered functionally graded composites via a novel separator-assisted powder metallurgy technique

Traditional powder metallurgy (PM) techniques typically produce functionally graded composite materials (FGCMs) with planar interfaces, which limit the design possibilities and mechanical performance of the resulting materials. In this study, a novel separator-assisted molding te...

Identifying the interactive pathways shaping health satisfaction among Chinese older adults with tourism participation

As global aging accelerates, improving older adults’ health satisfaction is a key policy and public health concern. While tourism has been associated with well-being, the pathways through which it is associated with health satisfaction remain unclear. It is not well understood wh...

Subtype conversion and metastatic timing in breast cancer liver metastasis

Breast cancer liver metastasis (BCLM) represents a critical stage of disease progression and is associated with poor survival outcomes. Molecular subtype discordance between primary tumors and metastatic lesions has been increasingly recognized; however, the relationships among s...

Casimir Force in Spacetimes with Torsion

We compute the Casimir force between perfectly conducting parallel plates in a spacetime endowed with constant axial torsion. Working within an effective field theory framework where torsion couples to the electromagnetic sector via a gauge-invariant Chern–Simons-type interaction...

Comparison of UAV Image-Based Detection Accuracy of Pine Wilt Disease-Affected Trees Using Different Dataset Compositions and Attention Modules

This study evaluated the effects of input-channel composition and the incorporation of attention modules on the detection accuracy of visually suspected pine wilt disease (PWD)-affected trees using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) RGB orthomosaic imagery and the YOLO26-Large (YOLO26...

Bioactive PdPt nanosheets for hypoxia modulation-enhanced radiotherapy

With the global rise in cancer incidence, the development of effective and safe therapeutic strategies remains an urgent priority. Although radiotherapy (RT) is widely used in clinical oncology, its therapeutic efficacy is often compromised by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment,...

Co-optimization of storage service scheduling and bidding strategies for community-shared energy storage: a distributionally robust bi-level model

The co-optimization of market participation and user-side service provision is key to ensuring the effective operation of community-shared energy storage systems. In fulfilling this dual role, while user-side storage consumes finite resources, it introduces critical flexibility f...

Integrating a Ripple Filter into Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy for Breast Cancer: from Dosimetric Feasibility to Acute Toxicity Assessment

Pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy (PT) offers superior dosimetric advantages for breast cancer treatment. However, synchrotron-based facilities frequently encounter throughput limitations due to slow energy layer switching, particularly problematic for superficial targets...

The Pragmatics of Emotion in Artificial Intelligence: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives

This Special Issue of Corpus Pragmatics explores how emotion shapes and is shaped by language in interaction with artificial intelligence.As human communication increasingly involves intelligent systems, emotion emerges as both a linguistic signal and a computational construct.Ba...

Rotordynamic Performance Measurements and Model Predictions of Water-Lubricated Journal Bearings with Different Radial Clearances

This study develops a test rig to investigate the rotordynamic performance of a rotor system supported by water-lubricated journal bearings. The test evaluates the vibration response under the different radial clearances of bearing and validates the analytical data through experi...

Rethinking fossil fuel divestment: Land, labor, and crises of overaccumulation

Research on fossil fuel divestment has thus far focused on the efficacy of shifting finance away from fossil fuels to decarbonize investment portfolios. Drawing on a comparative analysis of fossil fuel divestment movements across the Asia Pacific, this article instead situates di...

Performance of selected North African barley genotypes based on agro-morphological and physiological traits under field conditions in Morocco

As climate change accelerates, the impact on barley production, particularly in water-limited regions, is becoming more pronounced. This study assesses the physiological and agronomic responses of nine barley genotypes from Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia under rainfed conditions acr...

Neighboring Fe-Cr electronic coupling simultaneously promotes intrinsic activity and suppresses Fe-induced degradation for oxygen reduction electrocatalysis

Fe-N-C catalysts are among the most promising platinum-group-metal-free electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), yet their practical application is limited by the insufficient intrinsic activity of isolated Fe sites and Fe-induced degradation. Herein, a neighbori...

Multi-dimensional market framework for electricity, environment, and security in Thailand’s energy transition

Achieving carbon neutrality in the power sector requires market designs that align economic efficiency with environmental sustainability and system reliability. This paper proposes a multi-dimensional electricity market-clearing framework that co-optimises carbon pricing, renewab...
