3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) is increasingly explored as a digital fabrication technology offering design freedom, automation, and material efficiency. Nevertheless, its application in reinforced and long-life structures remains limited by insufficien...
Laser acupuncture (LA) integrates principles of traditional acupuncture with photobiomodulation (PBM) and has gained increasing attention as a non-invasive modality for pain management. PBM-based integrative LA in medicine refers to the application o...
Climate change is modifying the physical structure and biogeochemical functioning of stratified marine systems, with important consequences for trace element (TE) transport, speciation, and exposure. The Black Sea provides a structurally amplified ca...
Eating behavior requires a balance between metabolic and hedonic components. Anxiety and dietary type may influence the quantity, patterns, and other aspects of food intake. Modern diets, especially in Western societies, often contain high levels of...
This review summarizes innovative co-formulation strategies for non-marketed dry powder inhalers (DPIs), enabling the simultaneous pulmonary delivery of multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Key approaches include co-amorphous systems (C...
Viral infections of grapevines reduce plantation productivity and planting material quality, necessitating the development of effective sanitization methods and comprehensive systems for monitoring plant physiological status. This study conducted a c...
Beekeeping is a profitable and mind-relaxing practice; however, monitoring beehives poses significant challenges, such as consuming time and potentially disturbing hive equilibrium, which may lead to colony collapse. Developing precision beekeeping (...
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is one of the most versatile and widely studied photochemical approaches for the degradation of recalcitrant pollutants. Owing to its favorable physicochemical properties, titanium dioxide (TiO2) remains one of the most i...
This study investigates European citizens’ perspectives on farmers’ roles, highlighting gender, age, education, political orientation, community size, social class, and attitudes towards the EU. This study was developed using 21,002 inter...
Exerkines are released in response to physical exercise and play a key role in promoting health, such as taking part in modulating brain morphology and function. Expression levels of some of them are associated with an increase in neuroplasticity and...
Cowpeas are a legume widely consumed in Brazil. Given this, the objective of this study was to investigate the presence of metals (loids) in pods and leaves of Vigna unguiculata located near a highway with high vehicle traffic and a landfill, and to...
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a strategically important perennial crop because it is the main botanical source of steviol glycosides, a group of high-intensity, non-caloric sweeteners increasingly demanded by the global food and beverage industry. Des...
Several long-standing empirical laws in geophysics have recently come under scrutiny, with emerging evidence suggesting that some may be based on misinterpretations of seismic data. These developments have been facilitated by the application of Explo...
This study examines land surface temperature (LST) variability over Malta, a small island in the central Mediterranean, using satellite observations compared with in situ near-surface air temperature (NSAT) measurements. The analysis focuses on the c...
Background: This study investigated the relationship between weekly structured physical exercise (PE) volume and type and the risk of eating disorders (EDs), with particular attention to age and sex differences. Methods: A total of 417 healthy adults...
Trauma and substance use disorders commonly co-occur, are clinically complex, and are associated with poorer outcomes. This study applies mixture modeling methods in a co-occurring model to examine group membership patterns across trauma and substanc...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) grown under two farming systems (conventional vs. organic farming). From the content of photosynthetic pigments, total pheno...
Leishmaniasis is a serious public health issue, but current treatments have significant adverse effects. Although the leishmanicidal potential of Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) bark is well known, the therapeutic potential of its leaves for leishmaniosi...
Dietary phytogenic additives and microalgae are increasingly investigated as natural alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in rabbit production due to their potential effects on gut health and nutrient utilisation. This study evaluated the nutr...
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly enhance the efficient allocation of healthcare resources. The use of AI-driven diagnostic tests in healthcare settings supports healthcare professionals (HCPs) in diagnosis, treatment, and th...
The incorporation of natural plant extracts into dairy products has attracted increasing interest due to their potential to enhance nutritional value and product stability. This study evaluated the effects of distilled rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) flo...
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) are life-sustaining devices used in the prevention of sudden death in patients suffering from advanced cardiac diseases. Although improvements in ICD technology and monitoring capabilities have been made...
The purported benefits of Virtual Reality for pilot flight simulator training, such as increased immersion and presence, would be of great benefit in training those flight skills that rely on visuospatial awareness. The implementation of this technol...
Industrial-scale Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a key technology for the energy recovery of agro-industrial and municipal waste and for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions; however, the actual operational performance of industrial biodigesters co...
We investigated the influence of transition metal coordination on the optical dispersion and thermo-optic behavior of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([BMIM][SCN]). Refractive index measurements in the visible–near-infr...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global healthcare issue that highlights the need for early identification for better quality of life for patients. This study evaluates various machine learning (ML) classifiers on datasets from UCI and self-collecte...
