This work develops an effective platform to enhance the data collection process for researchers. The proposed platform connects researchers who need specific datasets with data curators, employing blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technique...
The present paper concerns the study of the influence of some geometrical parameters, in particular the depth-to-height ratio, and some mechanical properties, in particular Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, on the response of homogeneo...
Although research on cross-laminated timber (CLT) has been extensively investigated, its sound absorption characteristics in relation to CLT’s structure are still sparse in the literature. This study examined the influence of wood species, dens...
Medical device innovation depends not only on technological development but also on institutional review processes that determine when new or modified devices can enter the market. This study examines the role of review route choices and accumulated...
This paper proposes a federated learning framework for privacy-preserving patient monitoring with lightweight blockchain anchoring. The framework keeps synthetic patient monitoring records local at each client and uses federated model aggregation to...
Postnatal depression (PND) is a critical mental health issue that affects approximately one in seven women and has a profound impact on infant bonding and family dynamics. Despite its prevalence, PND often goes undiagnosed as a result of ignorance an...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a critical global health challenge for which early diagnosis is essential for effective intervention. However, AD detection is a challenging and complex task due to the scarcity of labeled clinical data, class i...
The FELIX trial is an ongoing, single-arm, open-label study without an internal control, in which adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia receive Aucatzyl (a CAR-T cell therapy) and are followed for overall surv...
Critical ground time in organ, tissue, and team transport missions of the Brazilian Air Force exhibits substantial variability, creating a gap between deterministic fatigue-management assumptions and observed aeromedical operations. This study consol...
Oral infections are common health problems in companion animals, often associated with bacterial colonization, biofilm formation, and inflammation. This study investigates the efficacy of hypertonic salt tablets as an antibacterial approach and their...
(1) Background: Chronic endometritis (CE) is a chronic disease of the endometrium characterized by inflammatory infiltration into the endometrial stroma. The diagnosis of CE is complex. Clinical examination and transvaginal ultrasound are not specifi...
Global food trade exposes sharp differences in food safety regulation, especially between the EU and the US. The EU follows a precautionary, hazard-based model, allowing intervention under scientific uncertainty to protect consumers, maintain public...
Lithological, metasomatic, and structural heterogeneity in ore-hosting rocks limits the reliability of applying a single set of mechanical parameters without domain subdivision. This study evaluates intact rock properties, shear resistance along natu...
With the development of quantum computing, classical cryptosystems (RSA, ECDSA) that ensure the security of distributed ledgers face an existential threat. This paper examines protocols for protecting personal data (PD) in blockchain, taking into acc...
Smart-home environments require secure and reliable user authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access and spoofing attacks. Traditional password- and PIN-based methods remain vulnerable to theft, replay attacks, and credential compromise....
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is a major invasive pest threatening fruit production across Europe. This study integrates spatiotemporal geostatistical modelling with degree-day and photoperiod analyses to characterise its seasona...
Chronic diabetic foot ulcers remain a major clinical challenge due to persistent inflammation, impaired tissue repair, and microbial dysbiosis. We report the case of a 62-year-old male with diabetes mellitus presenting with two chronic diabetic foot...
Anuran skin secretions are rich sources of bioactive metabolites whose composition may vary according to environmental conditions. In this study, skin secretions from two populations of Dendropsophus columbianus exposed to contrasting environmental c...
Agent-based neural models often encode transmission within neuron state updates, which can make it difficult to separately log and quantify spatial recruitment patterns, delay structure, and environment-mediated feedback effects. We present LANA (Loc...
Maritime accident analysis increasingly uses machine learning to support safety management, but many existing studies focus on single-output prediction, such as accident-occurrence probability, severity class, near-miss frequency, or one specific con...
Hydrodynamic cavitation is assessed as a conditional process-intensification platform for the sustainable recovery and transformation of bioactive and functional fractions from agri-food residues, food-processing by-products, and plant-derived matric...
To mitigate the environmental footprint of the aviation sector, this study proposes an integrated cascading biorefinery scheme to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) precursor bloodstock via enzymatic transesterification of coconut oil. Utilizing...
This study develops two independent energy transition indices, the Global North energy transition index (GNETI) and the Global South energy transition index (GSETI), using principal component analysis (PCA) to evaluate energy transition performance d...
Imaging of the lungs is traditionally based on chest X-ray as a first-line imaging method for lung aeration assessment. However, radiation exposure limits its use for patients in the pediatric intensive care unit. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is a suit...
Background: Post-COVID-19 conditions (PCCs) present a significant public health challenge due to a vast array of new or persistent health symptoms across subjects. The complex, multi-systemic nature of PCCs makes these conditions difficult to differe...
Gluten-related diseases (GRDs), affecting approximately 1–6% of the global population, require long-term adherence to a gluten-free (GF) diet for effective disease management. Food label literacy plays a critical role in ensuring dietary safety...
Can China feed itself by 2100? This study begins with a critical reexamination of the bayesTFR recovery assumption embedded in UN WPP 2024 and reconstructs population scenarios using an “empirical-base ± empirical-offset” methodolo...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive therapeutic resistance and tumor relapse by exploiting redundant regulatory networks that integrate Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and Hedgehog signaling with metabolic reprogramming, epigenetic plasticity, and tumor microe...
This paper introduces an IIoT-based hybrid predictive maintenance system for industrial steam boilers, which responds to the increased demands for making intelligent and accurate decisions by leveraging data-driven analytics in complex industrial env...
Excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy, when combined with machine learning algorithms, has emerged as a highly promising tool for non-invasive biomedical diagnosis, demonstrating significant potential across various applica...
The resurgence of trade policy interventions in the global economy has renewed interest in the long-run macroeconomic implications of commercial barriers. While previous research has largely focused on the short-term effects of tariff reforms and tra...
The present study investigates heat transfer characteristics in the thermally developing region of a porous tube under the local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) model. The influence of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow on an electrically conducting fluid...
Since its introduction in 1976, the Bradford assay has served as a gold standard for protein quantification across a wide range of applications. While its limitations—including protein-to-protein variation in dye binding, challenges in selectin...
