Abstract The paper investigates the properties of the Lambert equivalent azimuthal projection, which is often used in normal aspect in atlases for maps of the northern and southern hemispheres. The field of research is theoretical in nature and assumes a mastery of mathematics because it deals with map projections. The transverse aspect is commonly used for eastern and western hemisphere atlas maps. In addition, the Hammer projection was created from the transverse aspect of that projection. Therefore, if we want to get to know the Hammer projection better, we must first investigate the Lambert equivalent azimuthal… More >

Abstract The increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters necessitate advanced prediction techniques to mitigate potential damage. This study presents a comprehensive multi-hazard early warning framework by integrating the multi-source data fusion technique. A multi-source data extraction method was introduced by extracting pressure level and average precipitation data based on the hazard event from the Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) dataset across multiple temporal intervals (12 h to 1 h prior to events). Feature engineering was performed using Choquet fuzzy integral-based importance scoring, which enables the model to account for interactions and uncertainty across multiple… More >

Abstract Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious gastrointestinal disorder. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), a bioactive alkaloid extracted from Ligusticum chuanxiong, exhibits various pharmacological effects, but its protective mechanisms against AP remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of TMP in AP. Methods: The study utilized Cerulein (CER) to model pancreatitis across experimental systems. Cellular responses were characterized through functional assays (CCK-8 viability, EdU proliferation, Transwell migration, flow cytometric apoptosis, Fluo-3/AM calcium imaging) and inflammatory profiling (ELISA for trypsin, CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6). Autophagy was monitored via mRFP-GFP-LC3 flux and LysoTracker staining, with… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Existing Internet of Things (IoT) systems that rely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) often encounter inefficiencies in data retrieval and high operational costs, especially when using DynamoDB for large-scale sensor data. These limitations hinder the scalability and responsiveness of applications such as remote energy monitoring systems. This research focuses on designing and developing an Arduino-based IoT system aimed at optimizing data transmission costs by concentrating on these services. The proposed method employs AWS Lambda functions with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) to facilitate the transmission of data collected from temperature and humidity sensors to the… More >

Abstract License plate recognition in haze-affected images is challenging due to feature distortions such as blurring and elongation, which lead to pixel displacements. This article introduces a Displacement Region Recognition Method (DR2M) to address such a problem. This method operates on displaced features compared to the training input observed throughout definite time frames. The technique focuses on detecting features that remain relatively stable under haze, using a frame-based analysis to isolate edges minimally affected by visual noise. The edge detection failures are identified using a bilateral neural network through displaced feature training. The training converges bilaterally… More >

Abstract Due to its tolerance to water deficit and salinity, sorghum is considered a suitable crop for cultivation in regions affected by these stress conditions, enabling the efficient use of limited water resources. This study evaluated the resilience of the sweet sorghum cultivar BRS 506 under water deficit and salinity stress, focusing on water relations and yield performance in semiarid conditions. A randomized complete block design was employed in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement with four replicates. Treatments consisted of three levels of irrigation water salinity (1.50, 3.75, and 6.00 dS m⁻¹) and three irrigation levels… More >

Abstract Objectives: Novel drug delivery systems have been designed to enhance local drug concentrations while reducing side effects conducive to improved breast cancer treatment outcomes. This study aimed to identify the anti-cancer function of zeolite imidazole ester-based material loaded with camptothecin nanoparticles. Methods: We utilized a zeolitic imidazolate backbone material to fabricate 9-hydroxycamptothecin nanoparticles and investigated their impact on breast cancer cell proliferation. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed changes in the carrier skeleton of the loaded 9-hydroxyl camptothecin, characterized by a reduction in surface smoothness, accompanied by slight collapses and folds on the… More >

Abstract The ill-posed character of haze or fog makes it difficult to remove from a single image. While most existing methods rely on a transmission map refined through depth estimation and assume a constant scattering coefficient, this assumption limits their effectiveness. In this paper, we propose an enhanced transmission map that incorporates spatially varying scattering information inherent in hazy images. To improve linearity, the model utilizes the ratio of the difference between intensity and saturation to their sum. Our approach also addresses critical issues such as edge preservation and color fidelity. In terms of qualitative as More >

Abstract Priapism is a rare but potentially serious adverse effect of several medications including chlorpromazine, which is commonly used in the treatment of refractory migraine. We describe three cases of ischaemic priapism occurring in men following intravenous chlorpromazine administration for migraine relief. These cases highlight an important but under-recognised complication that can result in long-term erectile dysfunction if not promptly managed. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for this adverse effect and ensure patients are appropriately counselled regarding the need for urgent medical review should symptoms arise.

Abstract Background: Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) is a minimally invasive testicular sperm retrieval technique that has been utilized in the treatment of male factor infertility. We sought to evaluate sperm retrieval outcomes of primary and redo TESA in men with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) and obstructive azoospermia (OA). Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of consecutive TESAs (primary and redo) for men with severe OAT and OA performed between January 2011 and August 2022 at a high-volume infertility center. We compared TESA outcomes in men with severe OAT to those with OA and compared outcomes of men… More >
