The paper presents the application of MTM, RAV and ZAK methods in the determination of working methods and time norms for the technological process of sewing. The technological operation of sewing the back sleeve seam on a men’s jacket is used...
A remote sensing (RS) platform consisting of a remote-controlled aerial vehicle (RAV) can be used to monitor crop, environmental conditions, and productivity in agricultural areas. However, the current methods for the calibration of RAV-acquired imag...
Airborne health management systems prevent functional failure caused by errors or faults in airborne software. The on-the-fly repairing of atomicity violations in ARINC 653 concurrent software is critical for guaranteeing the correctness of software...
Background and objectives: It is often challenging even for skilled rescuers to provide adequate positive pressure ventilation consistently. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a newly developed real-time ventilation feedback device...
Background: Bedaquiline (BDQ) is critical for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment, but emerging resistance threatens its efficacy. Detection of BDQ resistance relies on slow phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing (pDST), delaying trea...
Objectives: Anterior crowding in the lower jaw is a common orthodontic issue often managed through premolar extraction, which can affect facial profile development. This study aimed to evaluate skeletal and dental changes in moderate to severe crowdi...
Morphometric analyses of male genitalia are routinely used to distinguish genera and species in beetles, butterflies, and flies, but are rarely used in ants, where most morphometric analyses focus on the external morphology of the worker caste. In th...
The advent of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) was a breakthrough in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C, yet high viral replication errors can lead to the development of resistance associated variants (RAVs). Thus, assessment of R...
Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) exhibits the advantage of not requiring embedded sensors or external excitation, making it suitable for inspecting ferromagnetic components in engineering structures. This study introduced MMM into stress detection of stee...
Aim: To observe the correlations between electroencephalography (EEG) signals and clinical outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: A total of 174 patients diagnosed with TBI at Xiangya Hospital during January 2017 and June 20...

(1) Background: To assess the clinical safety and efficacy of a new piezoelectric instrument for orthodontic clean-up; (2) Methods: An in-vitro comparative study on 75 teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons compared the tested method (Treatment 1) w...
The work in the technological sewing process is carried out on machine systems characterised by machine–hand work, where the worker and the machine work simultaneously. Such a work system requires a high level of responsibility in terms of qual...
The selection of a suitable reference gene assures a reliable gene expression analysis when using the qPCR method. Normalization of the reaction is based on the basic metabolism genes. These genes show a constant, unregulated expression in all cells...
The study aims to assess the potential of recycled carbon fibers recovered from end-of-life wind turbine blades as a sustainable reinforcement material for concrete and to establish correlations between fiber parameters and the mechanical behavior of...
Atrial size is a predictor of cardiovascular mortality. Non-ECG-gated computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a common test for cardiopulmonary evaluation but normative values for biatrial volumes are lacking. We derived normal CT biatria...
The AP2/ERF superfamily is a key class of transcription factors involved in plant responses to various stresses. As an ancient species, the olive tree (Olea europaea L.) exhibits considerable stress tolerance and wide adaptability. In this study, we...
