21+ hour, 27+ min ago   (443+ words) Spearmint is a medicinal and aromatic crop vulnerable to several diseases, and its cultivation relies heavily on chemical inputs, which can alter phytonutrient quality and raise environmental and health concerns. To address this, the current study focused on developing a…...

23+ hour ago   (421+ words) Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell degradation is one of the factors that limit the deployment of this technology in the automotive market. Accelerated Stress Tests (ASTs) are the standard tool for assessing durability during design and development phases, thanks to their…...

1+ day, 16+ hour ago   (567+ words) Individual cattle identification underpins traceability, genetic management and disease surveillance in precision livestock farming. Ear tags and RFID remain the dominant practice but are subject to loss, tampering and welfare concerns, which motivates contactless biometric alternatives. Most deep learning systems…...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago   (478+ words) Digital risk communication increasingly relies on interactive technologies to transform complex, uncertain, and probabilistic information into forms that can support human understanding and decision-making. Yet the literature is fragmented across application domains, technologies, and interaction paradigms. This scoping review maps…...

3+ day, 17+ hour ago   (688+ words) Digital twins (DTs) based on agent-based artificial intelligence (Agentic AI) provide a transformative framework for streamlining nondestructive testing (NDT) of 3D-printed rehabilitation equipment. This study applies a conceptual research methodology based on the integration and analysis of recent advances in…...

3+ day, 20+ hour ago   (421+ words) The genus Mammaliicoccus was recently reassigned from the family Staphylococcaceae. Mammaliicoccus spp. were first detected on German dairy farms, and exhibited a wide range of antimicrobial resistance genes. They are non-aureus agents frequently found in milk. Postbiotic substances (PSs) have…...

4+ day, 1+ hour ago   (519+ words) Background: The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to evaluate three-dimensional facial soft tissue changes following treatment with the Sander Bite Jumping Appliance (BJA) in growing patients with skeletal class II malocclusion. Methods: Seventeen consecutive growing patients (14 males and…...

4+ day, 18+ hour ago   (422+ words) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based prediction of multiple sclerosis (MS) progression depends on how imaging data are prepared, represented, modelled, and evaluated. This systematic review synthesized artificial intelligence (AI) methods across the MRI-to-prediction pipeline. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and…...

4+ day, 19+ hour ago   (420+ words) Divergence exponents (DEs), also termed maximum Lyapunov exponents, are computed from stride-to-stride fluctuations and have traditionally been read as measures of gait stability. We assessed the evidence for reinterpreting the long-term DE as a new measure of gait complexity and…...

4+ day, 19+ hour ago   (436+ words) Folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism supports nucleotide biosynthesis, methylation reactions, and redox homeostasis, and the mitochondrial enzyme MTHFD2 has emerged as a cancer-associated metabolic target. However, the development of MTHFD2-preferential inhibitors remains challenging because MTHFD2 is structurally and functionally related to other folate-metabolism enzymes,…...
