Approximately two-thirds of athletes who are submitted to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) never return to their preinjury level of performance, potentially due to muscle strength deficiencies or altered loading patterns during landin...

The search for therapeutic bioactive peptides has led to the utilization of marine byproducts as collagen sources. This study evaluated the effect of collagen hydrolysates (CH) obtained from the swim bladder (SB) of Totoaba macdonaldi on breast (MCF-...

To build robust condition monitoring solutions, it is important to identify signals that capture relevant information. However, how a degradation affects a given part of machinery might not be clear at the beginning. As a result, exploration measurem...

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, affecting over 50 million people worldwide. Accurate detection and characterization of epileptic activity are clinically critical, as seizures are associated with substantial morbidity, mo...

The integration of additive manufacturing (AM) and topology optimization (TO) is transforming mechanical design and prototyping practices across multiple engineering sectors, including agricultural and aerospace applications. This study presents the...

A cantilever beam is a mechanical structure fixed at one end and free at the other. It converts the applied external forces into bending and shear force; therefore, it should be designed to resist deflection. The fundamental natural frequency of the...

Radiation therapy is one of the methods of cancer treatment, using ionizing radiation, which can lead to many negative skin changes. Therefore, its proper care is critical. This provided the impetus for an attempt to assess oncology patients’ k...

Reciprocal recommendation requires satisfying preferences on both sides of a match, which differs from standard one-sided settings and often involves hierarchical structure (e.g., skills, seniority, education). We present biLorentzFM, which is a mult...

Hydraulic pre-fracturing is a rock-weakening technique applied in hard-rock excavation. To investigate the effects of hydraulic pre-fracturing on crack propagation in excavation roadwalls and on the cutting loads experienced by excavation machine pic...

The paper presents the results of tests of flow regulators with a triangular prismatic cross-section chamber. The aim of the paper was to experimentally and numerically (CFD) assess the water flow for different design variants of the regulators. Thre...
