Can a Technology Enterprise Transition from Niche to Wider Market Appeal in the Turbulent Digital Media Industry?

Gold Price Forecasting using Time Series Modeling on a Web Platform

Gold is one of the most favored investment instruments due to its stability and its ability to preserve value against inflation. However, its price movements are volatile and influenced by various global economic factors, currency exchange ...

Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at 3 < z < 5

At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectroscopic evidence of the effects of environment on the format...

An Investigation of Disk Thickness in M51 from Hα, Paα, and Mid-infrared Power Spectra

Power spectra (PS) of high-resolution images of M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have been examined for evidence of disk thickness in the form of a change in slope between large ...

WORKPLANS: Workshop on Planetary Nebula Observations

This workshop is the second of the WORKPLANS series, which we started in 2016. The main goal of WORKPLANS is to build up a network of planetary nebulae (PNe) experts to address the main open questions in the field of PNe research. The speci...

The Role of Mixing in Astrophysics

The role of hydrodynamic mixing in astrophysics is reviewed, emphasizing its connections with laser physics experiments and inertial confinement fusion. Computer technology now allows us to use two-dimensional simulations, with complex micr...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Collisions and particle dynamics around black holes surrounded by PFDM in STVG

Abstract Testing dark matter effects on gravity around black holes in the framework of gravity theories through observational data is an essential task of relativistic astrophysical studies. In this work, we first obtain a new spacetime sol...

Design of Low-Density Parity-Check Code Pair for Joint Source-Channel Coding Systems Based on Graph Theory

In this article, a graph-theoretic method (taking advantage of constraints among sets associated with the corresponding parity-check matrices) is applied for the construction of a double low-density parity-check (D-LDPC) code (also known as...

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Asteroseismology of the Nearby K Dwarf σ Draconis Using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging owing to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here we present the asteroseismic detection of solar-like oscillations at 4-minute timescales ( ${\nu ...

Survival Impact of Nephroureterectomy for De Novo Stage IV Nonmetastatic and Metastatic Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

BackgroundWhether nephroureterectomy (NU) provides survival benefits in patients with stage IV upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) remains unclear. We compared the effect of chemotherapy (CT) alone with that of CT combined with NU (CT +...

Traditional epidemiology, modern epidemiology, and public health.

There have been significant developments in epidemiologic methodology during the past century, including changes in basic concepts, methods of data analysis, and methods of exposure measurement. However, the rise of modern epidemiology has ...

Engaging Older Adults to Guide the Development of Passive Home Health Monitoring to Support Aging in Place

By 2050, most adults aged 65 and older in the United States will want to age independently at home, a goal that will strain healthcare resources. Adults aged 50 and older (N = 112) were recruited for study participation between 2018 and 202...

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat/Cas12a Mediated Multiplexable and Portable Detection Platform for GII Genotype Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Virus Rapid Diagnosis

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) is a member of the genus Alphacoronavirus in the family Coronaviridae. It causes acute watery diarrhoea and vomiting in piglets with high a mortality rate. Currently, the GII genotype, PEDV, possesses...

The M235T polymorphism in the angiotensinogen gene is not a major risk factor for diabetic nephropathy; a meta-analysis

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in diabetes patients. The angiotensin AGT M235T gene polymorphism, which is linked to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), has been extensive...

Trends in cervical cancer incidence and mortality in the United States, 1975–2018: a population-based study

BackgroundCervical cancer incidence and mortality rates in the United States have substantially declined over recent decades, primarily driven by reductions in squamous cell carcinoma cases. However, the trend in recent years remains unclea...

Metabolic perturbations underlying the associations of endocrine-disrupting chemical mixtures with muscle mass and strength in adults: A repeated-measures study

Introduction: Adult exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may reduce muscle mass and strength; however, few studies considered EDC mixtures and their potential mechanisms. Objectives: We aimed to explore associations of EDC mixt...

Efficacy of integrative medicine using Yinhua-based herbal granules on herpangina: A Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background: Different Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the format of granules, such as Kanggan Granules (KangGs), Kouyanqing Granules (KouGs), Lianhua Qingwen Granules (LQGs), Qingkailing Granules (QGs) and Xiao'er Qingjie Granules (XQ...
