Adoptive cell transfer (ACT)-based immunotherapy has emerged as a transformative approach for treating cancer, offering durable responses through the ex vivo expansion and reinfusion of antigen-specific immune cells. Despite remarkable clinical successes, most notably with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, ACT remains limited by severe toxic ...

This work implements deep learning models to capture non-linear and complex data behavior in aluminum price data. Deep learning models include the long short-term memory (LSTM) and deep feedforward neural networks (FFNN). The support vector regression (SVR) is employed as a base model for comparison. Each predictive model is tuned by using two different o ...

Scholars are increasingly focused on women's positive, embodied "breasted experienced", which includes breast appreciation. This positive body image facet is assessed using the 9-item Breast Appreciation Scale (BrAS; Swami et al., 2022), but assessments of its psychometric properties in diverse cultural communities are limited. Here, we repo ...

Urban environments accumulate large volumes of fecal waste from superabundant wildlife, yet few circular strategies exist to convert this biomass into useful products. We assessed the potential of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae to bioconvert feces from the Canada goose, a common bird that creates significant fecal pollution in parks and green spaces. Fiel ...

Background: Hearing loss is one of the largest potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia and is linked with poor cognitive-motor dual-task performance (e.g., walking while performing a cognitive task). Hearing loss is more prevalent and severe in males, whereas dementia is more prevalent i ...

The Tracer Correlation Method (TCM), when applied to quantify landfill methane emissions, relies on previously developed stringent quality control thresholds (R2 = 0.80 and Emission Rate Deviation (ERD) = 20 %, hereafter referred to as the Gold Standard. However, these thresholds often exclude a substantial portion of the collected data, limiting wider us ...

Control theory underpins the stabilization of dynamic systems, including cardiac tissue, where disruptions in electrical conduction cause arrhythmias. Current treatments either act rapidly but without precision or deliver targeted interventions that cannot adapt in real time. We present an integr ...

This study investigated whether higher cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) is associated with better cerebral vascular and metabolic health-specifically cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) acr ...

Background: Skeletal muscle thickness, echo intensity, and quality are important morphological properties; however, little is known how these variables compare between the affected and unaffected forearms in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Methods: Using B-mode ultrasound, we recorded the raw radiofrequency data of the affected and unaffected fo ...

Computational pathology (CPath) leverages histopathology images to enhance diagnostic precision and reproducibility in clinical pathology. However, publicly available datasets for CPath that are annotated with extensive histological tissue type (HTT) taxonomies at a granular level remain scarce d ...

Rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC) improves spatiotemporal gait parameters in older adults, often using isochronous rhythmic cues (i.e., with constant inter-beat-intervals). However, healthy gait contains fractal-like variability, (i.e., with persistent long-range correlations; LRC) which is disturbed when walking to isochronous cues. Embedding auditory cues ...
