Tunable Osmium Complexes as pH-Insensitive Redox Reportersfor Electrochemical Biosensing
Abstract The lack of robust and tunable redox reporters continues to hinder the development of high-performance electrochemical biosensors. In this work, we present a combined computational and experimental investigation of a family of water-compatible Os(II) complexes as pH-inse...

Association of salivary matrix metalloproteinase-8 with metabolic syndrome in women at high GDM risk
Abstract Background To assess associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS), insulin resistance, and periodontal diseases with salivary active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) in metabolically high-risk women. Methods A total of 112 women with a history of high gestational di...

How Does the Initial Guess Affect Newton's Method? A Mathematical Investigation
Abstract Newton’s Method is a numerical technique used to find approximate solutions of equations that may be difficult to solve algebraically. The method uses the derivative of a function to repeatedly improve an initial estimate of a root. This investigation examines how the ch...

Zulfia Estimation Theory (ZET): (f (x|θ) is imposed in 1922. Generated in 2026)
AbstractSince Fisher introduced Maximum Likelihood Estimation in 1922, statisticalinference has imposed a distributional assumption f (x|θ) before examining a singleobservation. For 104 years this imposition has been treated as necessary. It is not.This paper introduces Zulfia Es...

Role of feature tracking cardiac MRI in evaluation of ischemic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Background Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is characterized by profound left ventricular (LV) remodelling, impaired systolic function, and variable myocardial viability. Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) enables non-invasive quantification of myocardial...

A taxonomy and roadmap for corrosion detection systems: bridging sensing, data, and deployment
Abstract Corrosion remains a critical challenge affecting the safety, reliability, and service life of infrastructure across sectors such as maritime, energy, transportation, and civil engineering. Conventional inspection methods, including non-destructive testing and visual asse...
