SOX17 is a developmental transcription factor that regulates endoderm formation, vascular development, germ cell specification, and tissue differentiation. Recent studies have identified SOX17 as a highly informative immunohistochemical marker and li...

Rapid and unplanned urbanization in South Asian cities such as Lahore, Pakistan has produced fragmented urban-agricultural landscapes in which spectral signatures of various land cover and land use (LCLU) classes overlap, degrading the performance of...

Research linking nature connectedness to prosociality has rarely distinguished motivationally specific forms of helping. The present study examined the associations of nature connectedness with general prosocial behavior and the more specific instrum...

The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice across Asia, and its management relies mainly on intensive use of chemical insecticides. Field-evolved resistance to multiple insecticid...

Background: Chronic pain is common among cancer survivors and may reflect interacting physical, psychological, social, and existential factors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a behavioral intervention that emphasizes psychological flexibi...

Conventional neural retrieval models commonly use a single spectral representation to predict all pressure levels, limiting their ability to capture altitude-dependent information. We propose a Pressure-Conditioned Cross-Attention Network (PC-CAN) fo...

We believe that the origin of the universal dark energy may crucially depend on the behavior of the gravitational constant G. If G is constant throughout the universe, then the dark energy density ${\mathit{u}}_0$ is supported by the vacuum via its constant and ev...

We present the case of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with schwannoma at an infrequent localization. The patient complained of multiple painful lesions in the vulvar region and perianal fold, accompanied by intense, constant pain that slightly increas...

Multiaxial fatigue damage remains a critical barrier to the reliable design of metallic engineering components, particularly under complex non-proportional loading paths. Conventional critical-plane and energy-based models rely heavily on empirical a...

Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is the predominant fungal disease responsible for postharvest losses in strawberries. Here, we show that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by Bacillus velezensis CT32 significantly inhibited B. cinerea...

Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is a promising host for terpene biosynthesis, but its rational engineering remains constrained by limited genome-editing tools. Here, we developed a Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 (SaCas9) workflow in R. mucilaginosa JY1105 for C...

The precise and prompt identification of ocular conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), or glaucoma, often depends on the collaborative analysis of medical imaging techniques such as fundus photography or optical...

Background/Objectives: Bedside manners are central to patient-centered rehabilitation, yet patient perspectives on physical therapy in Saudi Arabia remain underexplored. This study examined patients’ perceptions of physical therapists’ be...

Image-based structural damage assessment requires automated methods that respect physical constraints. We formulate graph-neural-network message passing as a pseudo-time iteration of a monotone operator on a spatial-region graph. Under non-negative p...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the second-largest vegetable crop globally after potato (S. tuberosum), while the narrow genetic base of cultivated tomatoes seriously restricts their improvement. However, the rich genetic diversity harbored in tomat...

Intensive Care Units (ICUs) care for the sickest patients in any given hospital system and are associated with the worst outcomes and healthcare-associated costs. There is great interest in tailoring or streamlining ICU care to improve outcomes and r...
