The complete chloroplast genome of Dicliptera tinctoria (Nees) Kostel. and comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes in Acanthaceae

Abstract Dicliptera tinctoria is a member of Acanthaceae, which has a wide distribution and contains potentially medicinal species, and exhibited pharmaceutical potentials. This study sequenced and characterized the complete chloroplast gen...

An Insight into the Integration of Distributed Energy Resources and Energy Storage Systems with Smart Distribution Networks Using Demand-Side Management

Demand-side management (DSM) is a significant component of the smart grid. DSM without sufficient generation capabilities cannot be realized; taking that concern into account, the integration of distributed energy resources (solar, wind, wa...

Techno-Economic Analysis of Grid-Connected PV Battery Solutions for Holiday Homes in Sweden

Grid-connected PV battery systems for private homes are becoming increasingly popular in many countries, including Sweden. This study aimed to evaluate the techno-economic feasibility of such distributed, grid-connected PV battery systems f...

Voltage Stability and Power Sharing Control of Distributed Generation Units in DC Microgrids

Advancements in power conversion efficiency and the growing prevalence of DC loads worldwide have underscored the importance of DC microgrids in modern energy systems. Addressing the challenges of power-sharing and voltage stability in thes...

Hybrid drivetrain design: Working principle and application

Emerging engineering challenges in wind power electricity generation bond with stringent industrial requirements, have tendency to outline development and design process in the ready set go manner. From given predisposition one of the conse...

Variation Characteristics of Annual Baseflow at Different Frequencies in Upper Yangtze River Using a Digital Filtering Method

[Objective] Addressing critical gaps in understanding the Upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) baseflow dynamics is essential for regional water security and ecological sustainability. This study presents the first comprehensive multi-station a...

Hybrid spatio-temporal transformer and variational autoencoder framework for advanced sports injury prediction and analysis

Sports injuries significantly affect sports performance and overall health, making using accurate and reliable prognostic models imperative. Conventional algorithms for injury prediction, e.g., random forest and XGBoost, generally cannot un...

The impact of corporate social responsibility on cybersecurity behavior: The crucial role of organizationally-prescribed perfectionism

Abstract This study delves into the ways in which corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects cybersecurity behavior among employees. It specifically examines the mediating effects of psychological safety and job stress, as well as the mo...

Drinking patterns and alcohol use disorders in São Paulo, Brazil: the role of neighborhood social deprivation and socioeconomic status.

Research conducted in high-income countries has investigated influences of socioeconomic inequalities on drinking outcomes such as alcohol use disorders (AUD), however, associations between area-level neighborhood social deprivation (NSD) a...

Current Status of Fasciolosis of Goat in Sylhet, Bangladesh: An Integrated Morphomolecular Study

Epidemiological information and proper identification of Fasciola species present in Bangladesh are important for control. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of liver fluke infection of goats in Sylhet, Bangladesh, and ident...

Canopies at public transport stops in Belgrade: An example of open public micro-spaces in the city

Micro-spaces - small-scale public city spaces - represent an important element in the structure of the city, both functionally and aesthetically. Due to their small scale, their importance is often overlooked by experts and investors. The p...

Study on PM2.5 pollution and the mortality due to lung cancer in China based on geographic weighted regression model

Abstract Background PM2.5 has become a major component of air pollution in China and has led to a series of health problems. The mortality rate caused by lung cancer has reached the point where it cannot be ignored in China. Air pollution i...

Invertebrate Ecological Immunology

Ecological immunology is a rapidly expanding field that examines the causes and consequences of variation in immune function in the context of evolution and of ecology. Millions of invertebrate species rely solely on innate immunity, compar...

Wild immunology

In wild populations, individuals are regularly exposed to a wide range of pathogens. In this context, organisms must elicit and regulate effective immune responses to protect their health while avoiding immunopathology. However, most of our...

Global variations in funding and use of hemodialysis accesses: an international report using the ISN Global Kidney Health Atlas

Abstract Background There is a lack of contemporary data describing global variations in vascular access for hemodialysis (HD). We used the third iteration of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) to ...
