Developing a Rational, Optimized Product of Centella asiatica for Examination in Clinical Trials: Real World Challenges

Botanical products are frequently sold as dietary supplements and their use by the public is increasing in popularity. However, scientific evaluation of their medicinal benefits presents unique challenges due to their chemical complexity, i...

IP Controller Design for Uncertain Two-Mass Torsional System Using Time-Frequency Analysis

With the development of industrial production, drive systems are demanded for larger inertias of motors and load machines, whereas shafts should be lightweight. In this situation, it will excite mechanical vibrations in load side, which is ...

The extent to which South Africa’s legal and policy frameworks empower traditional leadership to contribute to achieving SDG 11

Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11) focuses on making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Although the goal primarily addresses urban development, its principles also extend to rural areas, but the...

A Coarse-to-Fine Approach for Rectifying Distorted Latent Fingerprints From Crime Scenes

With the widely used fingerprints to identify criminals, the influence of fingerprint deformation arouses attention in forensic science. To date, many approaches have been proposed to rectify distorted fingerprints. However, the performance...

The features analysis of hemoglobin expression on visual information transmission pathway in early stage of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized primarily by cognitive impairment. The motivation of this paper is to explore the impact of the visual information transmission pathway (V–H pathway) on AD, and...

Cuidados en los equipos profesionales: reflexiones a partir del archivo oral y memoria del Cuartel Borgoño (1977-1989), Santiago de Chile

The purpose of this article is to present some of the considerations that arose following the development of an experience of caregiving for teams of professionals who support, investigate, and collect testimonies on human rights violations...

Introduction to Mathematical Morphology

For the purposes of image analysis and pattern recognition, one often transforms an image into another better represented form. Image-processing techniques have been developed tremendously during the past ve decades and mathematical morphol...

Mathematics and Learning Disabilities

Between 5% and 8% of school-age children have some form of memory or cognitive deficit that interferes with their ability to learn concepts or procedures in one or more mathematical domains. A review of the arithmetical competencies of thes...

Implementation of a Transform-Minutiae Fusion-Based Model for Fingerprint Recognition

Biometrics consists of scientific methods of using a person’s unique physiological or behavioral traits for electronic identification and verification. The traits for biometric identification are fingerprint, voice, face, and palm print rec...

Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching and the Mathematical Quality of Instruction: An Exploratory Study

This study illuminates claims that teachers' mathematical knowledge plays an important role in their teaching of this subject matter. In particular, we focus on teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT), which includes both the ma...

History of health technology assessment: Spain

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the introduction and diffusion of health technology assessment (HTA) in Spain. METHODS: A survey to summarize the evolution of HTA was sent to representatives of diffe...

Investigating the role of human frontal eye field in the pupil light reflex modulation by saccade planning and working memory

The pupil constricts in response to an increase in global luminance level, commonly referred to as the pupil light reflex. Recent research has shown that these reflex responses are modulated by high-level cognition. There is larger pupil co...

The worlds of disability and health technologies

In this chapter, we discuss the dynamic area of technology in global health. Disability figures prominently, however, it is often framed in ways that leave people with disability excluded or positioned at the margins. This negative approach...

Mapping the acute trajectory of sport-related concussion outcomes across symptoms, cognition, and blood biomarkers

Sport-related concussion (SRC) and its potential neurological sequela represent an emerging global health concern, requiring improved recovery management and strategies for return-to-play (RTP) to enhance brain health in athletes. Given the...
