Gamma-ray shielding effectiveness, optical, mechanical, dielectric properties of nanofiller-reinforced PVA/PVP polymeric blend nanocomposites
The aqueous solution cast method was used to create the biodegradable polymer nanocomposite (PNC) films from a blend of poly (vinyl alcohol) PVA and poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) PVP (70/30 wt %) and FeO nanoparticles (NPs). These PNC films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.…

Predicting contrast sensitivity functions with digital twins
We developed and validated digital twins (DTs) for contrast sensitivity function (CSF) across 12 prediction tasks using a data-driven, generative model approach based on a hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM). For each prediction task, we utilized the HBM to compute the joint distribution of CSF hyperparameters and parameters at the population, subject, and test levels. This…

Modelling of enhanced gas extraction in low permeability coal seam by controllable shock wave fracturing
The controlled shock wave (CSW) fracturing is an effective method for enhancing permeability of coal seam to promote gas extraction. Based on Fick’s law, Darcy’s law, the ideal gas law and the Langmuir equation, a damage-seepage-deformation coupling mathematical model of CSW fracturing in coal seam combined with the maximum tensile stress and the Mohr-Coulomb criterion…

The importance of including both sexes in preclinical sleep studies and analyses
A significant effort in biomedical sciences has been made to examine relationships between sex and the mechanisms underlying various disease states and behaviors, including sleep. Here, we investigated biological sex differences in sleep using male and female C57BL/6J mice (n = 267). Physiological parameters were recorded for 48-h using non-invasive piezoelectric cages to determine total sleep, non-rapid…

Different expression patterns of inflammation-related genes and serum microRNAs in young-onset ischemic stroke
Brain ischemia results in the activation of a cascade of inflammatory responses, contributing to the pathogenesis of stroke. This study aimed to assess the patterns of possible changes in the expression of specific inflammation-associated protein-encoding genes and miRNAs in the peripheral blood between the acute and chronic phase of young-onset cryptogenic (Cryp) and large-artery atherosclerotic…

Differential gut microbiota composition in β-Thalassemia patients and its correlation with iron overload
Recent research highlights the significant impact of the gut microbiota on health and disease. Thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder, requires regular blood transfusions, leading to an accumulation of iron in the body. Such changes could potentially alter the intestinal microbiota, thereby increasing the susceptibility of thalassemic patients to infection. In this study, we analyzed the…

A viscoelastic-plastic model for the core of various close-packings of multifilament polyamide-6 yarns
Different forms of close-packed yarns can be produced by varying the number of monofilaments in the core region, ranging from one to five. Numerous efforts have been made to model or simulate the mechanical response of close-packed yarns; however, previous studies have predominantly focused on one or two monofilaments in the core. In this study,…

Human health risk assessment of potentially toxic and essential elements in medicinal plants consumed in Zabol, Iran, using the Monte Carlo simulation method
Medicinal plants (MPs) have long been used for their therapeutic properties in traditional forms of medicine. However, the presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in MPs raises concerns about their safety, efficacy, and potential adverse effects on human health. The current study aimed to determine the level of potentially toxic and essential elements (PTEEs) in…

The mediating effect of circulating inflammatory proteins on the relationship between gut microbiota and FD: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is known to be influenced by gut microbiota (GM) and circulating inflammatory proteins (CIPs), however, the causal relationship between GM, CIPs and FD haven’t been investigated. This study employed two-sample Mendelian Randomization (TSMR) to investigate their associations using data from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). In this study, Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was…

Near-critical Stranski-Krastanov growth of InAs/InP quantum dots
This work shows how to control the surface density and size of InAs/InP quantum dots over a wide range by tailoring the conditions of Stranski-Krastanov growth. We demonstrate that in the near-critical growth regime, the density of quantum dots can be tuned between and . Furthermore, employing both experimental and modeling approaches, we show…
