This paper investigates the possibility of the application of the HArdening State Parameter (HASP) constitutive model for numerical modelling of overconsolidated soft clay under embankment loading. The HASP constitutive model is a critical state soil...
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei, a spore-forming and obligate intracellular microsporidium, mainly infects shrimp and results in growth retardation and body length variation, causing huge economic losses to the Asian shrimp aquaculture industry. However,...
Tacrolimus (TAC)-induced chronic nephrotoxicity (TAC nephrotoxicity) is a serious issue for long-term graft survival in kidney transplantation. However, the pathophysiology of TAC nephrotoxicity remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed whole blood...
Background: Oral wound healing is a complex process influenced by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and cellular migration. Hyaluronic acid (HA) and spermidine (SP) have shown regenerative potential, but their combined effects on oral tissues rem...
Starch-lipid complexes were prepared from high amylose starch (HAS) with stearic acid (SA) or potassium stearate (PS) at different molar concentrations. The complexes (HAS-PS) formed between HAS and PS showed polyelectrolyte characteristics with &zet...
Recently, deep learning-based methods have made great improvements in object detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). However, detecting tiny objects in low-resolution images is still challenging. The features of these objects are not distinguishab...
The compartmentalization of untranslated mRNA molecules in granules occurring in many eukaryotic organisms including trypanosomatids involves the formation of complexes between mRNA molecules and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The putative ATP-dependen...
The titanium oxo complexes are widely studied, due to their potential applications in photocatalytic processes, environmental protection, and also in the biomedical field. The presented results concern the oxo complex synthesized in the reaction of t...
In this study, a pectin polysaccharide named DESP was extracted using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) from sweet potato residue (SPR) and the extract was optimized through response surface methodology (RSM). The DESP, based on choline chloride–ur...
Currently, strategies to mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effects and reduce building energy consumption are implemented worldwide. In Japan, as an effective means of mitigating UHI effects and saving energy of buildings, highly reflective (HR) roofs...
High-accuracy (HA) positioning services allow users to achieve sub-decimeter-level positioning accuracy. Although these kinds of services are not new, the market is showing great interest in exploiting them for new applications within the mass-market...
Automated electroencephalography (EEG) seizure detection is meaningful in clinical medicine. However, current approaches often lack comprehensive feature extraction and are limited by generic classifier architectures, which limit their effectiveness...
This study aimed at characterizing changes in rumen bacteria abundance and fermentation profiles by artificial saliva (AS) pH, and at evaluating the potential modulatory role of Aspergillus oryzae culture (AOC) in a rumen simulation technique (RUSITE...
