Theories of embodied cognition suggest that hand motions and cognition are closely interconnected. An emerging technique of tracking how participants move a computer mouse (i.e., the mouse-tracking technique) has shown advantages over the traditional...
Assistant based speech recognition (ABSR) prototypes for air traffic controllers have demonstrated to reduce controller workload and aircraft flight times as a result. However, two aspects of ABSR could enhance benefits, i.e., (1) the predicted contr...
Recent technological advances have provided new settings to enhance individual-based data collection and computerized-tracking data have became common in many behavioral and social research. By adopting instantaneous tracking devices such as computer...
Many people are aware of the negative consequences of plastic use on the environment. Nevertheless, they use plastic due to its functionality. In the present paper, we hypothesized that this leads to the experience of ambivalence—the simultaneous exi...
Dyslexia is not easily observed from outward appearance alone; differences typically emerge through learning performance and certain behavioral indicators. This study introduces the Direction Game, a computer-based task that uses mouse-tracking to ca...
This article aims to present the authors’ perspective regarding the challenges and opportunities of mouse-tracking methodology while performing experimental research, particularly related to the map-reading process. We briefly describe existing...
The COVID-19 pandemic has made the world focus on providing effective and fair online learning systems. As a consequence, this paper proposed a new intelligent, fair assessment of online examinations for virtual and remotely controlled laboratory exp...
Supporting cells of oocytes, i.e., cumulus cells, control oocyte quality, which determines fertilization success. Therefore, the transformation of mature and immature cumulus cells (MCCs and ICCs, respectively) into dysmature cumulus cells (DCCs) wit...
Some of the barriers preventing virtual reality (VR) from being widely adopted are the cost and unfamiliarity of VR systems. Here, we propose that in many cases, the specialized controllers shipped with most VR head-mounted displays can be replaced b...
This study investigated factors predicting cognitive flexibility in Chinese–English bilinguals, with a comprehensive focus on demographic and language-related variables. Cognitive flexibility was assessed using reaction times (RTs) and maximum...
Background: Liver cancer treatment encounters considerable therapeutic challenges, especially because hypoxic microenvironments markedly reduce sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. TFAM (mitochondrial transcription factor A) plays a crucial role i...
Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, yet its scalability and cross-species feasibility remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the dose-...
Ovarian aging significantly impacts female fertility, with mitochondrial dysfunction emerging as a key factor. This study investigated the effects of recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) on mitochondrial functio...
Background: Tay–Sachs disease (TSD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of GM2 ganglioside due to mutations in the HEXA gene, which encodes the α-subunit of β-Hexosaminidase A. This...
Raster maps provide intuitive visualizations of remote sensing data representing various phenomena on the Earth’s surface. Reading raster maps with intricate information requires a high cognitive workload, especially when it is necessary to ide...

Teleoperation has been widely used to perform tasks in dangerous and unreachable environments by replacing humans with controlled agents. The idea of human-robot interaction (HRI) is very important in teleoperation. Conventional HRI input devices inc...
Browning of adipocytes using herbal extracts is an attractive and realistic strategy for obesity treatment. Ephedra sinica Stapf (E. sinica) is an Asian traditional medicine known to activate brown adipocytes. To evaluate the effect of E. sinica (EEs...
Nanoparticles have become popular in life sciences in the last few years. They have been produced in many variants and have recently been used in both biological experiments and in clinical applications. Due to concerns over nanomaterial risks, there...
There is considerable interest in multirobot systems capable of performing spatially distributed, hazardous, and complex tasks as a team leveraging the unique abilities of humans and automated machines working alongside each other. The limitations of...
The modes of interaction (e.g., mouse and touch) between maps and users affect the effectiveness and efficiency of transmitting cartographic information. Recent advances in eye tracking technology have made eye trackers lighter, cheaper and more accu...
High levels of alcohol intake alter brain gene expression and can produce long-lasting effects. FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51) encoded by Fkbp5 is a physical and cellular stress response gene and has been associated with alcohol consumption and wi...
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Decreased aqueous humor drainage causes an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), which in turn damages the ganglion cells of the retina and optic nerve. A mouse model of glaucoma was use...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), released from all cells, are essential to cellular communication and contain biomolecular cargo that can affect recipient cell function. Studies on the effects of contractile activity (exercise) on EVs usually rely on pl...
