Abstract The regeneration of large-segment bone defects remains a significant challenge in orthopedics. Synthetic bone implants offer a promising solution; however, existing implants struggle to accurately replicate the heterogeneity and graded porosity of natural bone tissue while also failing to meet patients' individualized needs. Leveraging stereolithography-based 3D printing, we developed a halftoning grayscale 3D printing strategy for the precise fabrication of bone scaffolds with complex structures and graded porosity, closely mimicking natural bone tissue. This research focuses on optimizing both the 3D printing process and the performance of graded porous biomimetic bone scaffolds. More >

Abstract Accurate assessment of climate anxiety is crucial, yet the cross-cultural transportability of existing instruments remains an open question. This study translated and validated the Hogg Climate Anxiety Scale for the Chinese context. A total of 959 students (females = 69.7%; M age = 19.60 years, SD = 1.40 years) completed the Hogg Climate Anxiety Scale, with the Climate Change Anxiety Scale and the Anxiety Presence Subscale served as criterion measures for concurrent validity. Test–retest reliability was evaluated with a subset after one month. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original four-factor structure and measurement invariance across genders.… More >

Abstract Digital content such as games, extended reality (XR), and movies has been widely and easily distributed over wireless networks. As a result, unauthorized access, copyright infringement by third parties or eavesdroppers, and cyberattacks over these networks have become pressing concerns. Therefore, protecting copyrighted content and preventing illegal distribution in wireless communications has garnered significant attention. The Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) is regarded as a promising technology for future wireless and mobile networks due to its ability to reconfigure the radio propagation environment. This study investigates the security performance of an uplink Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA)… More >

Abstract Face detection is a critical component in modern security, surveillance, and human-computer interaction systems, with widespread applications in smartphones, biometric access control, and public monitoring. However, detecting faces with high levels of occlusion, such as those covered by masks, veils, or scarves, remains a significant challenge, as traditional models often fail to generalize under such conditions. This paper presents a hybrid approach that combines traditional handcrafted feature extraction technique called Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Canny edge detection with modern deep learning models. The goal is to improve face detection accuracy under occlusions. The… More >

Abstract To address the challenges of poor surface quality and high energy consumption in marble cutting, this study introduces an auxiliary abrasive jet cutting technology enhanced by the use of polyacrylamide (PAM) as a drag-reducing additive. The effects of feed rate (50–300 mm/min), polymer concentration (0–0.5 g/L), and nozzle spacing (4–12 mm) on kerf width and surface roughness are systematically investigated through an orthogonal experimental design. Results reveal that feed rate emerges as the most significant factor (p < 0.01), followed by PAM concentration and nozzle spacing. The optimal set of parameters, comprising a 200 mm/min feed More >

Abstract The presence of impurities in phosphogypsum has long impeded its effective utilization, highlighting the need for energy-efficient and sustainable purification methods. This study proposes a novel purification strategy that synergistically combines pH regulation and micelle-assisted treatment to create an optimized microenvironment for impurity removal. Under mechanical grinding conditions, this approach enhances the rheological properties of the phosphogypsum slurries and facilitates the dissolution and removal of impurity ions. Experimental results demonstrate that the synergistic method achieves a remarkable 64.01% increase in whiteness while significantly reducing soluble phosphorus and fluoride content in a single-step process. This technique More >

Abstract Plant-pathogen interactions involve complex biological processes that operate across molecular, cellular, microbiome, and ecological levels, significantly influencing plant health and agricultural productivity. In response to pathogenic threats, plants have developed sophisticated defense mechanisms, such as pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI), which rely on specialized recognition systems such as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune responses activate intricate signaling pathways involving mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades, calcium fluxes, reactive oxygen species production, and hormonal cross-talk among salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene. Furthermore, structural barriers such as callose deposition… More >

Abstract Tomato is an economically important crop that is susceptible to biotic and abiotic stresses, situations that negatively affect the crop cycle. Biotic stress is caused by phytopathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL), responsible for vascular wilt, a disease that causes economic losses of up to 100% in crops of interest. Nanomaterials represent an area of opportunity for pathogen control through stimulations that modify the plant development program, achieving greater adaptation and tolerance to stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial capacity of the nanoparticles and the concentrations used in tomato… More >

Abstract Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that contribute to the initiation and modulation of inflammation. Accumulating evidence suggests that eosinophils are adaptable leukocytes that orchestrate the resolution of inflammatory responses. The most prevalent chronic inflammatory illness, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is typified by persistent synovitis that makes it hard for the disease to go away on its own. Interestingly, a unique subset of eosinophils known as regulatory eosinophils has been found in RA patients’ synovium, especially while the disease is in remission. Pro-resolving signatures of regulatory eosinophils in the synovium are distinct from those of their lung counterparts. More >

Abstract Sonic Hedgehog Medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) is one of the four primary molecular subgroups of Medulloblastoma. It is estimated to be responsible for nearly one-third of all MB cases. Using transcriptomic and DNA methylation profiling techniques, new developments in this field determined four molecular subtypes for SHH-MB. SHH-MB subtypes show distinct DNA methylation patterns that allow their discrimination from overlapping subtypes and predict clinical outcomes. Class overlapping occurs when two or more classes share common features, making it difficult to distinguish them as separate. Using the DNA methylation dataset, a novel classification technique is presented to address… More >
