We introduce the notion of bornological approach nearness as a unified extension of various classical nearness structures. By redefining completeness within this framework, we establish a generalized version of the Niemytzki–Tychonoff theorem. Our re...
Background and Objectives: The anterior-based muscle-sparing (ABMS) approach, which utilizes the interval between the tensor fasciae latae posteriorly, offers several advantages, such as the reduced risk of nerve injury and the freedom to choose vari...
The operations of take-off and landing at hub airports are often subject to a wide variety of delays; the effects of these delays impact not only the related stakeholders, such as aircraft operators, air-traffic control unity and ground handlers but...

We report our experience with the subcranial approach, developed at the Plastic Surgery Unit of Hospital “Ricardo Gutiérrez”, for the treatment of injuries in the frontoethmoidal orbital region in pediatric patients. The subcranial approach was descr...
Although linearly combining multiple variables can provide adequate diagnostic performance, certain algorithms have the limitation of being computationally demanding when the number of variables is sufficiently high. Liu et al. proposed the min&ndash...
The inclusion of productivity costs can affect the outcome of cost-effectiveness analyses. We estimated the value of cancer premature mortality productivity costs for Europe in 2020 using the Human Capital Approach (HCA) and compared these to the Fri...
The standard surgical approach for the fusion of the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint involves a two-incision approach. Philpott et al. proposed a modified, single-incision dorsal approach that yields a similar exposure. This study compares the joint prep...

In spite of great successes of the inertial step approach (ISA) in various fields, we are investigating the converse inertial step approach (CISA) for the first time. First, the classical Picard iteration for solving nonexpansive mappings converges w...
According to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, between 2013 and 2023, 62% of aviation accidents occurred during the approach, landing, and post-impact phases of flight. Hence, this study targets factors contributing to increased accident rat...
Extreme water incidents point out a value conflict surrounding the resource. While drought and floods echo the inadequate land and resource uses, the increase in social inequalities exposes the practical, physiological, and social consequences. The m...
This review paper focuses on the development and application of the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA), especially regarding its limitations, both in terms of its formulation and link to theory as well as practice. The SLA has proved to be a popul...
In performance-based navigation (PBN) procedures with barometric vertical guidance, the effective vertical path angle (VPA) depends on the actual air temperature at the time of approach execution. A very low design temperature could result in an obst...
Storage technology selection is a very important design decision that greatly affects the future performance of a warehouse; for example, it greatly affects its costs. In making this decision, the designer is faced with a complex issue. It is necessa...

The fractures of the mandibular condyle are commonly encountered in maxillofacial surgical practice. The controversies to open or not to open are still ongoing. We have used both techniques, to successfully manage our patients. Open treatment of cond...
Background/Objectives: Spheno-orbital meningiomas (SOMs) are rare tumors described as benign despite their aggressive, osteodestructive behavior. Their invasive nature makes surgical management complex and often precludes complete excision. Reaching...
The authentication of food products is essential for food quality and safety. Authenticity assessments are important to ensure that the ingredients or contents of food products are legitimate and safe to consume. The metabolomics approach is an essen...
Canine disimpaction is always a challenging orthodontic treatment overall, even when the impacted permanent canine is in a high position, especially when in tight relation with the upper incisors’ roots. Conventional treatment methods are usually not...
A novel approach to the Hamiltonian formulation of quantum field theory at finite temperature is presented. The temperature is introduced by compactification of a spatial dimension. The whole finite-temperature theory is encoded in the ground state o...
This paper presents the results of an automated volatile organic compound (VOC) classification process implemented by embedding a machine learning algorithm into an Arduino Uno board. An electronic nose prototype is constructed to detect VOCs from th...
Background: The cranio-orbito-zygomatic (COZ) approach is a workhorse of skull base surgery, and each of its steps has a precise effect on target exposure and surgical freedom. The present study overviews the key techniques for execution and tailorin...

With a focus on traditional practices rather than evidence-based practices, breastfeeding support is sub-optimal in confinement centres (CCs). We used a participatory, needs-based approach to develop a training module for CC staff adopting Kern&rsquo...
Critical thinking (CT) is one of the most important 21st-century skills that employers believe will grow in prominence. However, many higher education (HE) graduates often lack it. This is also true for graduates in computer science (CS) and related...
The current rapid technological change identifies the evolution of people’s transportation as one of the primary effects. Hybrid-electric propulsion reveals potential advantages, including fuel savings, lower pollution, and reduced noise emissi...
Background: Femoral neck fractures are an epidemiologically significant issue with major effects on patients and health care systems, as they account for a large percentage of bone injuries in the elderly. Hip hemiarthroplasty is a common surgical pr...
Multi-actor governance, in which a broad mix of actors collaborates to deal with complex societal problems, requires a leadership approach that can take into account the dynamic interdependencies between the involved actors. A relational approach to...
Background: Evidence comparing the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) to other approaches is conflicting, particularly regarding patient-reported outcomes. This study aimed to compare the outcomes and preferences of the D...
A new transient-based hybrid heuristic approach is developed to optimize a transient generation process and to detect leaks in pipe networks. The approach couples the ordinal optimization approach (OOA) and the symbiotic organism search (SOS) to solv...

This paper outlines three broad models that have informed the relationship between the law and children’s involvement in decision making—the property/instrumentalist approach, the welfare approach, and a rights-based approach. It identifi...
The conventional flying and adhesion robot adsorbs on the wall by controlling the attitude angle to generate a horizontal-direction force combined with the negative-pressure device at the target position. However, when the robot is in contact with th...
In jointless bridges, a grade flat approach slab (GFAS) with the same elevation as the pavement can transfer the girder’s longitudinal deformation to the backfill. However, any cracks and settlement of the pavement usually occur at the end of t...
