We describe the design and performance of a highly sensitive 12-channel magnetoencephalography (MEG) system to be operated in a magnetically shielded room. The aim of the recording system is to measure spatially resolved high frequency (450–850 Hz) somatosensory evoked responses (hfSERs), as elicited by electrostimulation of the median nerve, at a single-trial level. The system...
Design of experiments has emerged as an influential and proactive approach that demonstrated favored applicability in optimizing chromatographic procedures. Quality-by-design guarantees the long-standing efficiency of the developed HPLC method reducing the need for costly and resource-intensive univariate approach. A low environmental footprint, sensitive, fast, and simple HPLC...
Dissolved organic carbon released from marine macrophytes is an important carbon sequestration pathway, but its recalcitrant fraction remains poorly quantified. Here, we quantified dissolved organic carbon release rates and recalcitrance using empirical data from macroalgal and seagrass species across cold-temperate to subtropical coastal Japan. Dissolved organic carbon release...
This study aims to analyze and compare the financial performance of PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur Tbk (ICBP) and PT Mayora Indah Tbk (MYOR), two leading companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive comparative method through financial ratio analysis, including Earnings Per...
Combination therapy has emerged as a standard strategy for enhancing the efficacy of anticancer treatments. The purpose of our study was to assess the melatonin-selenium nanoparticles’ anticancer potential (MSeNPs) in a murine model of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). Assessments included cell viability, hematological parameters, oxidative stress markers, apoptosis, cell cycle...
Current AI tools for designing macromolecules have been struggling with DNA and RNA structure prediction and design as significantly less experimental training data are available for nucleic acids than for proteins. Therefore, developing alternative approaches remains of interest. MUMBO, a program for designing protein–protein interactions and protein–ligand-binding pockets, uses...
This article provides information about the Zubturum plant, its importance, and medicinal properties. Zubturum is a perennial plant and is a representative of the Zubturum family. Currently, it includes about 260 species. Of these, 6 species are found in Uzbekistan. Zubturum is also of particular importance in folk medicine. This is because this plant has been used in medicine...
High-performance Raman Amplifiers (RAs) have emerged as a powerful solution for enhancing signal strength and transmission quality in advanced optical systems. By utilizing stimulated Raman scattering in optical fibers, these amplifiers provide wide bandwidth, low noise figures, and flexible gain profiles, making them highly suitable for next-generation high-capacity...
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) represents a significant threat to offshore infrastructure (such as monopile) operating in the mud zone. The sediment–water interface creates an aggressive environment, where steel structures are in direct contact with sediment, and oxygen availability is limited, creating conditions favorable for anaerobic microbial activity and MIC...
Magnetization of irrigation water has gained increasing attention in agriculture. Salinity stress markedly decreases caraway growth and productivity. This study aimed to determine the optimal irrigation approach using magnetic water technology for improving caraway genotype efficiency, yield, and irrigation water productivity (IWP). This investigation was conducted at the Wadi El...
To avoid highly invasive cement extraction during revision of cemented hip stems, we investigated in vitro a concept for refixation of loosened cemented stems using induction heating. The thermoplastic polymeric bone cement is softened by heating the metallic stem above the cement’s glass transition temperature, possibly allowing refixation. In an exploratory study three...
We introduce MNISQ, the first large-scale dataset for both quantum and classical machine learning during the NISQ era, containing 4.95 million circuits of 10 qubits constructed with up to 100 two-qubit gates. MNISQ serves as a foundational resource for developing natural language processing (NLP) models for quantum computing and deep learning models. The dataset is derived from...
Here we assessed the effect of different rates and amplitudes of active torque reduction on the subsequent steady-state EMG amplitude, torque steadiness, and fascicle length during submaximal voluntary fixed-end (isometric) dorsiflexion contractions. Based on previous findings following active muscle-tendon unit lengthening, we expected a reduced steady-state EMG amplitude and...
In this paper, we analyze the stability of the fractional distributed delay models. We use the linear chain trick to convert these models into an incommensurate fractional order systems. We get the stability regions by studying the characteristic equation around equilibrium points. We investigate how the fractional order \(\alpha _{1}\), \(\rho\) and a affect the stability of the...
Seasonal vaccination is the most important strategy for mitigating the large disease burden caused by influenza virus. Licensed inactivated influenza virus vaccines rely on slow, egg-based production, underscoring the need for faster, more effective platforms that elicit robust immune responses. Here, we compare the immunogenicity of an unmodified mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine...
The increasing reliance on the renewable energy, particularly wind power, introduces significant challenges for modern power systems and can compromise system stability. This study proposes an improved pitch-angle control strategy for a 1.5 MW large-scale Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). To address the limitations of...
This article explores the optimal methods for the parallel (concurrent) development of speed-power qualities and endurance in the physical training process of young boxers. The high dynamics of combat in modern boxing require athletes to possess both high speed and explosive power, as well as specific endurance to maintain this tempo throughout all rounds. The paper analyzes...
Tobacco and the Temanggung community seem to have a bond between the two. Especially with the srinthil tobacco type, this variety really has a special place in the hearts of the Temanggung people, especially farmers. It is not just a plant that is treated as a mere commodity. More than that, there is a spiritual dimension to the farmers who grow srinthil tobacco. Using a type of...
Post-stroke depression (PSD) and anxiety (PSA) are common stroke-related complications that negatively impact recovery and quality of life. Physical activity (PA) is a modifiable factor that may influence these conditions. This study aimed to examine the association between pre-stroke PA and symptoms of depression and anxiety in post-stroke patients at 3 and 12 months after...
Seagrass meadows store sedimentary carbon and nitrogen and thus play an important role in climate change mitigation and nutrient retention globally. Here we reconstruct the impact of land-use and coastal land uplift on millennial–scale seagrass (Zostera marina) blue carbon and nitrogen accumulation in the Baltic Sea based on a multiproxy paleoreconstruction approach. We show that...
