Evidence for health effects of early life exposure to indoor air pollutants: what we know and what can be done

Reproductive Biology of Female Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in the Gulf of Alaska

Developing a robust understanding of Pacific halibut reproductive biology is essential to understanding the different components (e.g. maturity) that determine the reproductive output of the species and, therefore, for estimating the relati...

Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis Framework for Mapping Vegetation Physiognomic Types at Fine Scales in Neotropical Savannas

Regional maps of vegetation structure are necessary for delineating species habitats and for supporting conservation and ecological analyses. A systematic approach that can discriminate a wide range of meaningful and detailed vegetation cla...

Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in the different extracts of Caspian saffron, Crocus caspius Fisch & C. A. Mey. ex Hohen.

Nowadays it is very desirable to investigate and discover new antibacterial and antioxidant agents from natural products and medicinal plants. The current study was conducted to examine the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of an e...

Predicting potato plant vigor from the seed tuber properties

Abstract The vigor of potato plants is of crucial importance for potato seed producers, who are interested in predicting it at scale by exploiting the dependence of plant growth and development on the origin and physiological state of the s...

Analysis of amplitude domain characteristics in complex dynamic power signals and their impact on the error of electricity meter

Aiming at the influence of the fast, large range and random change of dynamic load current on the electricity metering, this paper firstly establishes a non-stationary random process modulation model and bimodal modulation model for complex...

Surcando caminos de interculturalidad sustentados en la Etnomatemática

This paper narrates facts and consequences of a course focused on Interculturality and Ethnomathematics developed in a Venezuelan Pedagogical University. The reflection is centered on Ethnomathematics and the development of "curricular ethn...

Global quantum correlations in finite-size spin chains

We perform an extensive study of the properties of global quantum correlations in finite-size one-dimensional quantum spin models at finite temperature. By adopting a recently proposed measure for global quantum correlations (Rulli and Sara...

Education of staff in preschool aged classrooms in child care centers and child outcomes: A meta-analysis and systematic review.

Staff education is considered key to quality of early childhood education and care (ECEC) programs. However, findings about associations between staff education and children's outcomes have been inconsistent. We conducted a systematic revie...

Design Recommendations for Immersive Virtual Reality Application for English Learning: A Systematic Review

The growing popularity of immersive virtual reality (iVR) technologies has opened up new possibilities for learning English. In the literature, it is possible to find several studies focused on the design, development, and evaluation of imm...

Progress and Perspective of CRISPR‐Cas9 Technology in Translational Medicine

Abstract Translational medicine aims to improve human health by exploring potential treatment methods developed during basic scientific research and applying them to the treatment of patients in clinical settings. The advanced perceptions o...

Author Correction: Causal networks of phytoplankton diversity and biomass are modulated by environmental context

An adaptive cruise control system for autonomous vehicles using PRDC–CoROA-based hybrid optimization

Abstract An adaptive cruise control (ACC) system has a key role to play in enhancing the safety and stability of autonomous vehicles, along with ensuring improved ride quality through proper management of vehicle velocity and distance betwe...

Better Outcomes through Learning, Data, Engagement, and Research (BOLDER) – a system for improving evidence and clinical practice in low and middle income countries [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Despite the many thousands of research studies published every year, evidence for making clinical decisions is often lacking. The main problem is that the evidence available is generated in conditions very different from those that prevail ...

Development and validation of a portable, point-of-care canine distemper virus qPCR test.

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a multi-host pathogen that can cause significant mortality in domestic, wild terrestrial and marine mammals. It is a major conservation threat in some endangered species. Infection can result in severe respir...

Changes in the comprehensive unassisted pregnancy rate as a possible marker of declining human fecundity

Abstract Recent decades have seen declining total fertility rates (TFR) globally, alongside increased use of assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, TFR includes ART births and excludes induced abortions, complicating assessments o...

Simulators with Haptic Feedback in Neurosurgery: Are We Reaching the “Aviator” Type of Training? Narrative Review and Future Perspectives

Over the last decade, the quality of neurosurgical procedures dramatically improved, also thanks to the development and increased accessibility of several technological recourses (e.g., imaging, neuronavigation, neurophysiology, microscopy)...

Detection and genetic diversity of Wolbachia and its associated prophage WO in mosquito populations from Ethiopia

Abstract Arboviral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, including dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus (WNV), and Rift Valley fever (RVF), pose a significant public health challenge globally, particularly impacting popula...

Non-metallic iodine single-atom catalysts with optimized electronic structures for efficient Fenton-like reactions

Abstract In this study, we introduce a highly effective non-metallic iodine single-atom catalyst (SAC), referred to as I-NC, which is strategically confined within a nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) scaffold. This configuration features a distinc...

Toward trustworthy COVID-19 interventions: Building vaccine trust through community-university partnerships.

Prior research identifies trust as critical to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake. However, few intervention studies have sought to develop or test strategies for bolstering vaccine-related trust. To address this gap, this exploratory s...
