The heteroresistance phenotype refers to the presence of bacterial subpopulations with reduced antibiotic susceptibility compared with the main population. Mathematical modelling and computer simulations suggest that heteroresistance can lead to negative treatment outcomes and finally, treatment failure. Due to the low frequency and resistance level of re ...

Wet-strength resins are fundamentally important for papers as they provide water resistance and wet strength, allowing papers to complete tasks before incurring wet damage. Resins currently in use are primarily petroleum-based substances that pose inherently environmental and health risks due to ...

This paper proposes a distributed fault-tolerant cooperative control framework for multiple fixed-wing UAVs (FUAVs), grounded on a complete six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) nonlinear dynamic model. The architecture integrates position and attitude control, explicitly accounting for actuator faults and multiple input constraints. In the outer loop, an adapti ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has promoted emerging applications that require massive device collaboration, heavy computation, and stringent latency. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) systems can provide flexible services for user devices (UDs) with wide coverage. The optimization of both latency and energy consumption rema ...

The bioavailability and fate of pesticides in soil are largely influenced by soil's sorption characteristics. Therefore, the adsorption of pesticides, like glyphosate (GBH), onto soil natural organic matter (NOM) was investigated in this study. With the aid of sequential treatment methods of agricultural soil, NOM was modified to yield demineralized m ...

BackgroundOlfactory identification decline is a known early marker of Alzheimer's disease and is already present at the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage. While being linked with episodic memory, its predictive value for cognitive performance and distinguishing between clinical stages remains unclear.ObjectiveThis study examined (1) the predictive ...

Background: There is community knowledge shared among autistic and other neurodivergent (ND) communities that ND individuals are more likely to share other non-normative identities, along with research demonstrating that ND individuals have worse mental health outcomes than neurotypicals (NTs). The purpose of this study is to assess how co-occurrence of n ...

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels ...

Background: This study examined motivational pathways between internalizing symptoms (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress) and simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use among young adults. Methods: Participants (N = 151; 64% female, Mean age = 22.07) completed baseline questionnaires assessing interna ...

Young adults use a combination of coping strategies to deal with challenges. Yet, limited research has focused on these combinations, as they differ across different profiles of youth and their implications during the major life transitions of emerging adulthood. Addressing this gap, the present longitudinal person-centered study assesses the nature, stab ...

Timely and accurate assessment of wounds during the healing process is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. Conventional wound dressings lack both real-time monitoring capabilities and active therapeutic functionalities, limiting their effectiveness in dynamic wound environments. Herein, w ...
