A Magic Act in Causal Reasoning: Making Markov Violations Disappear

A desirable property of any theory of causal reasoning is to explain not only why people make causal reasoning errors but also when they make them. The mutation sampler is a rational process model of human causal reasoning that yields norma...

Healthcare Teams Neurodynamically Reorganize When Resolving Uncertainty

Research on the microscale neural dynamics of social interactions has yet to be translated into improvements in the assembly, training and evaluation of teams. This is partially due to the scale of neural involvements in team activities, sp...

Protocol for a mixed methods process evaluation for a randomised controlled trial to improve shared decision-making about, and uptake of, osteoporosis medicines: the iFraP study [version 3; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Background High quality shared decision-making (SDM) conversations involve people with or at risk of osteoporosis and clinicians working together to decide, where appropriate, which evidence-based medicines best fit the person’s life, belie...

Knowledge, attitude, and practices of pediatricians about children’s oral health

BACKGROUND: Many pediatric oral diseases are preventable if physicians recognize and encourage preventive care and refer patients to dentists whenever necessary. Parents usually visit pediatricians for routine care during the first few year...

O conhecimento das doenças dos animais domésticos, nas diferentes regiões do Brasil é importante para determinar formas eficientes de profilaxia e controle. Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a epidemiologia, sinais clínicos e patolo...

Epidemiology and Clinical Manifestations of Mucormycosis

Mucormycosis is an emerging angioinvasive infection caused by the ubiquitous filamentous fungi of the Mucorales order of the class of Zygomycetes. Mucormycosis has emerged as the third most common invasive mycosis in order of importance aft...

Epidemiology of Hyponatremia

Gout epidemiology and comorbidities

OBJECTIVE: To review the epidemiology of gout and associated comorbidities. METHODS: We review the key published studies of the epidemiology of gout and associated comorbidities. RESULTS: The prevalence of gout ranged 1-4% worldwide and inc...

Epidemiology of Hepatitis C Virus in Bangladeshi General Population

Background: Hepatitis C virus is encountered sporadically in Bangladesh. It results in a wide range liver diseases, with asymptomatic acute hepatitis rarely at one end to HCC at the other end of the spectrum. Methods: 1018 individuals of ...

The niche-derived glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induces migration of mouse spermatogonial stem/progenitor cells.

In mammals, the biological activity of the stem/progenitor compartment sustains production of mature gametes through spermatogenesis. Spermatogonial stem cells and their progeny belong to the class of undifferentiated spermatogonia, a germ ...

The PPLD has advantages over conventional regression methods in application to moderately sized genome-wide association studies.

In earlier work, we have developed and evaluated an alternative approach to the analysis of GWAS data, based on a statistic called the PPLD. More recently, motivated by a GWAS for genetic modifiers of the X-linked Mendelian disorder Duchenn...

Design, analysis, and experimental research on installation robot for hanging column

Abstract To address the challenges of labor-intensive operations, high safety risks, and low operational efficiency in the installation of hanging columns within tunnels, we propose a robotics-based mechanized and automated solution. First,...

Embedded Sensor Data Fusion and TinyML for Real-Time Remaining Useful Life Estimation of UAV Li Polymer Batteries

The accurate real-time estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries is a critical enabler for ensuring the safety, reliability, and operational efficiency of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Nevertheless...

Novel Blended Learning on Artificial Intelligence for Medical Students: Qualitative Interview Study

Abstract BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly relevant in everyday clinical practice, with Food and Drug Administration–approved AI solutions now available in many specialties. This developmen...

Benchmarking spiking neurons for linear quadratic regulator control of multi-linked pole on a cart: from single neuron to ensemble

The emerging field of neuromorphic computing for edge control applications poses the need to quantitatively estimate and limit the number of spiking neurons, to reduce network complexity and optimize the number of neurons per core and hence...

In the Ensemble with Technical Subjects

Introduction. The purpose of the paper is to test the hypothesis about the entry into the social interactions of actors of a special kind - devices with artificial intelligence. The author proposes to discuss a hypothesis about the emergenc...

Comparative Analysis of Deep Natural Networks and Large Language Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is essential for comprehending public opinion, particularly when considering e-commerce and the expansion of online businesses. Early approaches treated sentiment analysis as a document or sentence-level classification pr...

Robot Learning from Demonstration in Robotic Assembly: A Survey

Learning from demonstration (LfD) has been used to help robots to implement manipulation tasks autonomously, in particular, to learn manipulation behaviors from observing the motion executed by human demonstrators. This paper reviews recent...
