Flavonols contribute significantly to both plant defense and human health. In apple (Malus domestica), flavonols accumulate at high levels in leaves and fruit skin but are present at low levels in the fruit flesh, the primary tissue consumed by human...
Apples (Malus domestica) are rich in flavonols, and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) plays an important role in the regulation of plant flavonoid metabolism. To date, the underlying mechanism of ALA promoting flavonol accumulation is unclear. Flavonol syn...
With the deployment of fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technology and rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and edge computing, smart construction sites have emerged as a critical direction for the construction industry’s tra...
Flower color is a charming phenotype with very important ornamental and commercial values. Anthocyanins play a critical role in determining flower color pattern formation, and their biosynthesis is typically regulated by R2R3-MYB transcription factor...
Relationships between age and visual field (VF) reliability indices were investigated using a large real-world dataset (42,421 VF data points from 11,525 eyes of 5930 subjects). All VFs tested and stored at Shimane University Hospital between 1988 an...
Animal studies have shown that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are important in early brain development, yet their roles have not been assessed in humans. The purpose of this study was to determine the associations of HMOs with MRI indices of tiss...
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and their most abundant component, 2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL), are known to be immunomodulatory. Previously, it was shown that HMOs and 2′-FL bind to the C-type lectin receptor DC-SIGN. Here we show...
Federated learning (FL) in mobile edge computing has emerged as a promising machine-learning paradigm in the Internet of Things, enabling distributed training without exposing private data. It allows multiple mobile devices (MDs) to collaboratively c...
(1) Background: Previous research has investigated the relationship between cognitive impairment, optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual fields (VF), and VF reliability in smaller patient samples using various cognitive assessment tools. This stu...
Data acquired by Harris Corporation’s (Melbourne, FL, USA) Geiger-mode IntelliEarth™ sensor and Sigma Space Corporation’s (Lanham-Seabrook, MD, USA) Single Photon HRQLS sensor were evaluated and compared to accepted 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data a...
A comprehensive MD + QC methodology was developed and applied to evaluate various aspects of Arbidol interactions with functional amino acids of surface proteins of influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2. The spatial structure, solvation features, conformati...
Ligand modification by substituting chemical groups within the binding pocket is a popular strategy for kinase drug development. In this study, a series of pteridin-7(8H)-one derivatives targeting wild-type FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) and its D...
Federated Clustering (FL clustering) aims to discover latent knowledge in multi-source distributed data through clustering algorithms while preserving data privacy. Federated learning is categorized into horizontal and vertical federated learning bas...
Background/Objectives: Cognitive impairment, frailty, and systemic comorbidity burden are common in elderly patients with glaucoma and may influence both visual field (VF) performance and glaucoma severity. This study investigated the associations of...
This work analyzes high-power wind turbines (WTs) from the Oravita region, Romania. These WTs are based on slip ring induction generator with wound rotor and we propose a modified architecture with two power converters on both the stator and on the r...
Background: With the growing demand for sustainable dental practices, chitosan has evolved as an eco-friendly disinfectant for polyether impressions. Objectives: The present study investigated the disinfectant efficacy of chitosan on the dimensional...

With the emergence of the novel SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes; COVID-19, compliance with/adherence to protective measures is needed. Information is needed on which measures are, or are not, being undertaken. Data collected from the COVID Impac...
Hippocampal-sparing radiotherapy (HSR) is a promising approach to alleviate cognitive side effects following cranial radiotherapy. Microstructural brain changes after irradiation have been demonstrated using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). However, e...
Modern electronic information system software is becoming increasingly complex, making manual debugging prohibitively expensive and necessitating automated fault localization (FL) methods to prioritize suspicious code segments. While Single-Fault Loc...
The purpose of the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) training is to develop laparoscopic surgery skills by using simulation experiences. Several advanced training methods based on simulation have been created to enable training in a non-pati...
Background: Our primary aim is to quantify test reliability and compliance of glaucoma patients to a weekly visual field telemedicine (VFTM) schedule. A secondary aim is to determine concordance of the VFTM results to in-clinic outcomes. Methods: Par...
