Active galactic nucleus activity in nearby disk galaxies: The roles of bar strength and spiral arm morphology

Context. The transport of gas toward galactic centers and its connection to active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity remain key open questions in galaxy evolution. In particular, the relative roles of stellar bars and spiral arms and their po...

Social Network Analysis of Editorial Board Interlocking Phenomena from the Perspective of Astronomy and Astrophysics Journals

Editorial board members (EBMs) of journals play a pivotal role in authentic international scientific journals. Editorial Board Interlocking (EBI) phenomenon reflects the effectiveness and importance of the scholarly journal's editorial boar...

Potential of Radioactive Isotopes Production in DEMO for Commercial Use

There is widespread use of nuclear radiation for medical imagery and treatments. Worldwide, almost 40 million treatments are performed per year. There are also applications of radiation sources in other commercial fields, e.g., for weld ins...

Effects of Multicomponent Training on Body Composition and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The impact of globalization and climate change on Trichinella spp. epidemiology

The main reservoir hosts of nematodes of the genus Trichinella are wild carnivores, although most human infections are caused by the consumption of pork. This group of zoonotic parasites completes the entire natural life cycle within the ho...

The Epidemiology of Fusarium Wilt of Banana

Fusarium wilt of banana (also known as Panama disease) has been a problem in Australia since 1874. Race 1 of the pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense) is responsible for damage to ‘Lady Finger’ (AAB, Pome subgroup) and other less wid...

Case report: Rapid development of amyloid A amyloidosis in temporal arteritis with SAA1.3 allele; An unusual case of intestinal amyloidosis secondary to temporal arteritis

Temporal arteritis (TA) is a large-vessel vasculitis mostly seen in older patients. Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis secondary to a chronic inflammation induces multiple organ dysfunctions, including a dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. H...

A distinct gut microbiota composition in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is associated with increased levels of fecal calprotectin

Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shares many characteristics with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal microbiota most likely plays an important role in the development of IBDs and may also be involved in the pathogen...

Interacting roles of gut microbiota and T cells in the development of autoimmune hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive liver inflammatory disease mediated by an autoimmune response, with an increasing incidence rate. In severe cases, AIH will rapidly progress to liver cirrhosis and liver failure and even lead to d...

Loss of PRSS56 function leads to ocular angle defects and increased susceptibility to high intraocular pressure

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting up to 70 million people worldwide. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma. It is well established that inefficient aqueous humor (AqH) outflow resulting from s...

Improving the Transferability of Suspended Solid Estimation in Wetland and Deltaic Waters with an Empirical Hyperspectral Approach

The deposition of suspended sediment is an important process that helps wetlands accrete surface material and maintain elevation in the face of sea level rise. Optical remote sensing is often employed to map total suspended solids (TSS), th...

Optimization of Support and Relief Parameters for Deep-Buried Metal Mine Roadways

The management of rock mass deformation in high-stress roadways is a pivotal aspect of deep geotechnical engineering. Given the fruitful outcomes of research in rock mechanics regarding traditional confining pressure control methods, schola...

Variations in lower‑limb body composition asymmetry and leg length discrepancy by sex and training level, and their association with performance in recreational endurance runners: a cross‑sectional study.

Soft Pneumatic Bending Actuator with Integrated Carbon Nanotube Displacement Sensor

The excellent compliance and large range of motion of soft actuators controlled by fluid pressure has lead to strong interest in applying devices of this type for biomimetic and human-robot interaction applications. However, in contrast to ...

Development and Control of an Innovative Underwater Vehicle Manipulator System

Recently, as humans have become increasingly interested in ocean resources, underwater vehicle-manipulator systems (UVMSs) have played an increasingly important role in ocean exploitation. To realize precise operation in underwater narrow s...

Competitiveness of the Russian space industry in the global space services market

The article carries out an analysis of the competitiveness of the Russian space industry in the international space services market according to the following indicators: the volume of budget of national space organizations, the volume of t...

Classification and hydrocarbon distribution of passive continental margin basins

Sixty-six passive continental margin basins around the world were compared comprehensively from the aspect of seismogeology on the basis of plate tectonics. According to their textural and structural differences, passive continental margin ...

Distributed Multi-Antenna Positioning for Automatic-Guided Vehicle

Radio-based positioning systems are typically utilized to provide high-precision position information for automatic-guided vehicles (AGVs). However, the presence of obstacles in harsh environments, as well as carried cargoes on the AGV, wil...
