Cloud computing has revolutionized the digital era by providing a more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure. Secure systems that encrypt and protect data before it is transmitted over a network and stored in the cloud benefit the en...
The work is dedicated to the investigation of the possibility of producing and studying the properties of the thin-walled elements of Diamond-type lattice structures, manufactured from the aluminum alloy AlSi10Mg using the selective laser melting met...
The identification of dynamical systems from data is essential in control theory, enabling the creation of mathematical models that accurately represent the behavior of complex systems. However, real-world applications often present challenges such a...
This study presents the synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) with antimicrobial properties from cyanobacterial biomass. Silver (AgNP), copper (CuNP), and zinc (ZnNP) nanoparticles were prepared from exopolysaccharides (EPSs) obtained from isolated...
This paper presents research on the effects of the addition of various contents of graphene oxide and sintering temperature on the mechanical, tribological, and electrical characteristics of WC-ZrO2 composites. Wet processing and spark plasma sinteri...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects over 71 million people worldwide, leading to severe liver diseases, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The virus’s high mutation rate complicates current antiviral therapies by promoting...
This paper presents a pH sensor with a Mach–Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) that operates in solutions of 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0. The sensor device consists of two tapered sections with dimensions of 1 mm/1 mm/1 mm for down-taper, waist-length, and up...
Osseodensification is an innovative surgical instrumentation technique based on additive (non-cutting) drilling using special burs. It is known from the literature, that the osseodensification burs should operate in a clockwise direction to drill hol...
Over 10% of patients undergoing aortic endograft implantation experience endoleaks within a few years. In the case of type 1a endoleaks, a crack forms between the aorta and the prosthesis collar, allowing blood to pass. This blood fills the aneurysma...
Metallographic analyses of nodular iron casting methods are based on visual comparisons according to measuring standards. In fact, iron foundry workers have a poster that describes several characterizations of the metallographies and, showing the rea...
Inappropriate antimicrobial use in food animal farming propels antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that affects all health domains. Colistin is a ‘Reserve’ antibiotic for human treatment to be conserved for multidrug-resistant pathogens; howev...
(1) Background: Microbiota could be related to tumorigenesis through the persistence of an inflammatory state, also at the endometrial level. Inflammation, in fact, is involved in the promotion of genetic instability and in a favorable microenvironme...
Operational risk (OR) is usually caused by losses due to human errors, inadequate or defective internal processes, system failures, or external events that affect an organization. According to the Basel II agreement, OR is defined by seven risk event...
Previous research has shown that higher glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are related to poorer quality of life. The objective was to analyse the moderating role of emotional intelligence (EI) in the relationship between HbA1c levels and qualit...
The study site, a major teaching hospital in Dublin, Ireland, addressed significant challenges within its dermatology service through a comprehensive improvement initiative using a person-centred Lean Six Sigma methodology. Initially, the hospital&rs...
The concept of the centaur, symbolizing the fusion of human and machine intelligence, has intrigued visionaries for decades. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have made this concept not only realizable but also actionable. This synergist...
Pancreatic lipase is an enzyme crucial for breaking down fats through hydrolysis, and inhibiting it is important for managing obesity. This study evaluated the lipase inhibitory profile of the leaf (SALE) and vine (SAVE) of Secamone afzelii, explored...
Curcumin, a bioactive compound derived from turmeric, possesses numerous pharmaceutical properties; however, its poor aqueous solubility and permeability result in low bioavailability. This study aims to develop a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug deli...
With approximately 18 million people affected by cancer in 2020 globally, scientists are exploring innovative approaches to develop effective treatments for various types of cancer. Traditional chemotherapy drugs, although effective against cancer ce...
This study examines the relationship between inspiratory muscle performance (IMP) using the Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE), knee extension (EXT) and flexion (FLEX) acceleration (ACCEL) and deceleration (DECEL) times on an isokinetic...
The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a critical health challenge. This, plus the antimicrobial discovery void, had led scientists to search for an effective alternative to antimicrobials. In this context, nanomaterials, such as graph...
The umbilical cord, comprising three vital blood vessels, serves as the lifeline between mother and fetus. Prenatal care emphasizes detailed ultrasound examinations of the umbilical cord and postnatal inspections of the placenta and cord to preemptiv...
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the leading causes of death in the industrialized world and causes a heavy personal and economic burden. Thrombus perviousness, measured with pre-interventional computed tomography (CT), is a relative...
Careful inspection of the title and graphical abstract of the original paper [...]
In his paper [...]
Lead sulfide (PbS) on the nanoscale was synthesized via a chemical route at room temperature using lead nitrate {Pb(NO3)2} and sodium sulfide (Na2S). The Na2S was prepared at ~105 °C using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sulfur (S) powder. The produc...
This study explores the evolution and impact of research on the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing between 2019 and August 2024. By addressing the growing integration of AI technologies...
Background and aim: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects up to 25% of the population and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Sarcopenia, the lo...
This study explores the effects of offshoring and backshoring on value creation per employee within the manufacturing sector by investigating the difference between firms that did and those that did not engage in corresponding relocation activities....
Periodontitis is characterized by gingival regression, alveolar bone resorption and the development of deep periodontal pockets that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Currently, specific biomarkers are needed for the early, objective diagno...
