Abstract Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) prognosis has seen little improvement over the past two decades. While immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, its impact on GBM remains limited. To characterize the evolving research landscape and identify future directions in GBM immunotherapy, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric review. Methods: All literature related to immunotherapy in GBM from 1999 to 2024 was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. CtieSpace and VOSviewer were used to conduct bibliometric analysis and visualize the data. Results: Bibliometric analysis identified 5038 publications authored by 23,335 researchers from 4699 institutions across 96 countries/regions, published in… More >

Abstract Curtain wall systems have evolved from aesthetic façade elements into multifunctional building envelopes that actively contribute to energy efficiency and climate responsiveness. This review presents a comprehensive examination of curtain walls from an energy-engineering perspective, highlighting their structural typologies (Stick and Unitized), material configurations, and integration with smart technologies such as electrochromic glazing, parametric design algorithms, and Building Management Systems (BMS). The study explores the thermal, acoustic, and solar performance of curtain walls across various climatic zones, supported by comparative analyses and iconic case studies including Apple Park, Burj Khalifa, and Milad Tower. Key challenges—including… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract To address critical challenges in nighttime ship detection—high small-target missed detection (over 20%), insufficient lightweighting, and limited generalization due to scarce, low-quality datasets—this study proposes a systematic solution. First, a high-quality Night-Ships dataset is constructed via CycleGAN-based day-night transfer, combined with a dual-threshold cleaning strategy (Laplacian variance sharpness filtering and brightness-color deviation screening). Second, a Cross-stage Lightweight Fusion-You Only Look Once version 8 (CLF-YOLOv8) is proposed with key improvements: the Neck network is reconstructed by replacing Cross Stage Partial (CSP) structure with the Cross Stage Partial Multi-Scale Convolutional Block (CSP-MSCB) and integrating Bidirectional Feature Pyramid More >

Abstract As large, room-scale environments become increasingly common, their spatial complexity increases due to variable, unstructured elements. Consequently, demand for room-scale service robots is surging, yet most technologies remain corridor-centric, and autonomous navigation in expansive rooms becomes unstable even around static obstacles. Existing approaches face several structural limitations. These include the labor-intensive requirement for large-scale object annotation and continual retraining, as well as the vulnerability of vanishing point or line-based methods when geometric cues are insufficient. In addition, the high cost of LiDAR and 3D perception errors caused by limited wall cues and dense interior clutter… More >

Abstract Objectives: Problematic use of the internet (PUI) has been increasingly associated with various mental health issues, highlighting the need for accurate assessment tools. The Assessment of Criteria for Specific Internet-use Disorder (ACSID-11) is a validated psychometric instrument designed to measure distinct forms of PUI across multiple online activities. However, its applicability and validity have not yet been established within the Indonesian context. Therefore, this study aimed to translate and validate the ACSID-11 for use among Indonesian populations. Methods: The translation procedure of the ACSID-11 involved forward translation, back translation, and expert panel discussions. This research involved… More >

Abstract Conventional concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) face a persistent trade-off between high efficiency and high cost, driven by expensive multi-junction solar cells and complex active cooling systems. This study presents a computational investigation of a novel Multi-Focal Pyramidal Array (MFPA)-based CPV system designed to overcome this limitation. The MFPA architecture employs a geometrically optimized pyramidal concentrator to distribute concentrated sunlight onto strategically placed, low-cost monocrystalline silicon cells, enabling high efficiency energy capture while passively managing thermal loads. Coupled optical thermal electrical simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics demonstrate a geometric concentration ratio of 120×, with system temperatures maintained below More >

Abstract In endoscopic surgery, the limited field of view and the nonlinear deformation of organs caused by patient movement and respiration significantly complicate the modeling and accurate tracking of soft tissue surfaces from endoscopic image sequences. To address these challenges, we propose a novel Hybrid Triangular Matching (HTM) modeling framework for soft tissue feature tracking. Specifically, HTM constructs a geometric model of the detected blobs on the soft tissue surface by applying the Watershed algorithm for blob detection and integrating the Delaunay triangulation with a newly designed triangle search segmentation algorithm. By leveraging barycentric coordinate theory, More >

Abstract The thin films and powders of PbS, PbSe, and PbSe and PbS_0.5Se_0.5 have been obtained by chemical precipitation method. The X-ray spectra of the obtained thin layers were obtained through the"Miniflex 600" diffractometer, and elemental analyses were performed. Thermogravimetric analyses of the powders of all three compounds were conducted in the temperature range of 20-800°C using the "NETZSCH STA 449 F3" apparatus. It has been determined from the X-ray spectra that the angular positions of all the peaks of PbS, PbSe, and PbSe and PbS_0.5Se_0.5 thin layers coincide with the positions of the corresponding diffraction peaks More >

Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the tens metric and dielectric properties of polycrystalline (BixSb_1-x)₂Te₃ films in the temperature range of 280−480 K and at microwave frequencies. The temperature dependences of the specific conductivity, impedance, and permittivity under the action of uniaxial static deformation are analyzed. The deformation phenomena detected in polycrystalline films under the action of a microwave field are qualitatively interpreted based on the effective medium theory. More >

Abstract Lead indium selenide (PbIn2Se₄) is a promising chalcogenide semiconductor for optoelectronic and energy applications. We report a hydrothermal synthesis route using ethylene glycol under moderate conditions (433– 453 K, 7–12 h), yielding up to 85–87%. The product crystallized into a cotton-like morphology composed of nanoand microparticles. Structural and compositional integrity were confirmed by chemical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. These results demonstrate that hydrothermal synthesis provides an efficient and controllable pathway to high-purity PbIn2Se₄, opening opportunities for its use in advanced functional devices. More >
