Water droplet erosion (WDE) is a critical degradation phenomenon that significantly affects component lifespan and performance in power generation, aerospace, and wind energy industries. The incubation period-the initial phase before visible material loss occurs-is particularly crucial for maintenance planning and material selection yet remains challengin ...

Personalized closed-loop brain stimulation, in which algorithms used to detect neural events adapt to a user's unique neural characteristics, may be crucial to enable optimized and consistent stimulation quality for both fundamental research and clinical applications. Precise stimulation of sleep spindles-transient patterns of brain activity that occu ...

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are neuroimaging markers widely interpreted as caused by cerebral small vessel disease, yet emerging evidence suggests that a subset may have a neurodegenerative etiology. Current imaging methods have lacked the specificity to disentangle biological processes ...

Background: The relationship between task-related hemodynamic activity and brain excitability is poorly understood in humans as it is technically challenging to combine simultaneously non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging modalities. Cortical excitability corresponds to the readiness to ...

Introduction: Drawing on the Motivation-Ability-Opportunity (MAO) framework and social information processing (SIP) theory, we hypothesized that supervisors demonstrate the highest level of servant leadership when their prosocial motivation (motivation), perspective taking (ability), and perceived collaborative-based HR configuration (opportunity) are all ...

Objective: Beyond objective socioeconomic status (SES) indicators, subjective social status (SSS), an individual's subjective perception of their social standing relative to others, has been independently linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Some studies also report sex differences in the association between SSS and CVD. Thi ...

Although rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is often thought of as a singular state, it consists of two substates, phasic and tonic REM, defined by the presence (respectively absence) of bursts of rapid eye movements. These two substates have distinct EEG signatures and functional properties. However ...

The main objective of this study was to develop a natural curcumin-loaded varnish that responds to blue light in an antimicrobial photodynamic therapy-based approach with photoelimination of targeted cells. Fluoride-free curcumin-loaded varnish (CUR-V) consisting of gum rosin (80 wt%) and ethanol (20 wt%) was loaded with 0, 0.25, and 10.0 wt% curcumin and ...

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can pose significant challenges for athletes, leading to significant morbidity, loss of playing time, and impaired performance. Neuromuscular training programs, such as the FIFA 11+, have shown promise in reducing the risk of lower extremity injuries in this high-risk population. Purpose/hypothesis: T ...
