Study on Contact Force and Vibration Characteristics of Composite Cylindrical Roller Bearing

The composite cylindrical roller is composed of a hollow cylindrical roller and a filler body and is a new type of structure roller bearing. In order to explore the influence of different parameters on the contact characteristics and vibrat...

Alterations in Hip and Knee Joint Contact Force Waveforms and Orientation Induced by Gait Modifications: A Case Study

Introduction & Purpose Idiopathic torsional deformities of lower limb bones can affect a patient’s gait pattern and joint health, while their cause remains unidentified (Koller et al., 2026). Abnormal joint loadings and the progression of ...

Temperature- and vacancy-concentration-dependence of heat transport in Li3ClO from multi-method numerical simulations

Abstract Despite governing heat management in any realistic device, the microscopic mechanisms of heat transport in all-solid-state electrolytes are poorly known: existing calculations, all based on simplistic semi-empirical models, are unr...

Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Simulation in an Urban Environment Using GPS-Data

Accurate traffic models are of decisive importance for well-founded traffic engineering and represent the basic framework for comprehensive simulation studies as modelling of traffic demand. Using traffic count and speed measurements of roa...

Cyberattacks on Miniature Brain Implants to Disrupt Spontaneous Neural Signaling

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) arose as systems that merge computing systems with the human brain to facilitate recording, stimulation, and inhibition of neural activity. Over the years, the development of BCI technologies has shifted towa...

Surveillance of FAP: a prospective blinded comparison of capsule endoscopy and other GI imaging to detect small bowel polyps

Abstract Background Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disorder characterized by polyposis along the gastrointestinal tract. Information on adenoma status below the duodenum has previously been restricted due to its inacce...

Progressive suppression of regulated cell death defines terminal macrophage states in liver cirrhosis

Background Macrophages are central regulators of liver immunity and fibrosis; Recent single-cell studies have characterized macrophage heterogeneity in cirrhosis; however, how regulated cell death programs shape their functional transitions...

Post-Fire Abundance Trajectories of Bird Species and Functional Groups Within an Atlantic–Mediterranean Ecotone

The Atlantic–Mediterranean ecotone of northwestern Iberia is one of the most fire-prone regions in Europe, yet post-fire avian dynamics there remain poorly documented. To characterise short- to mid-term post-fire avian trajectories in this ...

HumanViCe: Host ceRNA network in virus infected cells in human

Host-virus interaction via host cellular components has been an important field of research in recent times. RNA interference mediated by short interfering RNAs and microRNAs (miRNA), is a widespread anti-viral defence strategy. Importantly...

Epigenetic alterations in mesenchymal stem cells by osteosarcoma-derived extracellular vesicles

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are central to intercellular communication and play an important role in cancer progression and development. Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone tumour, characterized by the presence of malignant mesenchymal...

CRISPR/Cas9 for hepatitis B virus infection treatment

Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health challenge. Despite the availability of effective preventive vaccines, millions of people are at risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current drug therapies inhibi...

Dissection of Leaf Angle Variation in Maize through Genetic Mapping and Meta-Analysis

Maize ( L.) hybrids have transitioned to upright leaf angles (LAs) over the last 50 yr as maize yields and planting densities increased concurrently. Genetic mapping and a meta-analysis were conducted in the present study to dissect genetic...

Functional annotation of the human retinal pigment epithelium transcriptome

Abstract Background To determine level, variability and functional annotation of gene expression of the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the key tissue involved in retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration and retinitis ...

Monogenic obesity due to MC4R deficiency: lessons from a multigenerational case

Abstract Background Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency is the most common monogenic cause of obesity, yet remains underdiagnosed. Patients with monogenic obesity often undergo a frustrating diagnostic and therapeutic odyssey of years...

Behavioral genetics, a primer

"Behavioural Genetics", fourth edition provides an overview of human and animal behavioural genetics that is designed to introduce students in the behavioural, biological, and social sciences to the field. With the addition of new chapters,...

Genetics : a conceptual approach

Introduction to Genetics Genetics Is Important to Us Individually, to Society, and to the Study of Biology Humans Have Been Using Genetics for Thousands of Years A Few Fundamental Concepts Are Important for the Start of Our Journey into Gen...

Landscape Genetics

Landscape genetics is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field that integrates approaches from population genetics and landscape ecology. In the context of habitat fragmentation, the current focus of landscape genetics is on assessing the...
