Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials play an increasingly important role in modern manufacturing, and they are among the more prominent materials used in aircraft manufacturing today. However, CFRP is highly prone to delamination and other damage when drilled due to it being extremely strong with a good strength-to-weight…[Read more]

The generation of functional genomics datasets is surging, because they provide insight into gene regulation and organismal phenotypes (e.g., genes upregulated in cancer). The intent behind functional genomics experiments is not necessarily to study genetic variants, yet they pose privacy concerns due to their use of next-generation sequencing.…[Read more]

In summary, we found that the prognosis of BC is closely related to immune regulation in the TME.

Although adolescents often co-use alcohol, cigarettes, and cannabis, little is known about sex and racial/ethnic differences in the co-use of these substances. Therefore, this investigation examined sex and racial/ethnic differences in alcohol,…[Read more]

Addressing school violence is an important public health goal. To assess the role of school mental health curricula in violence prevention, we evaluated effects of an anti-stigma curriculum on violence victimization/perpetration.

An ethnically/socioeconomically diverse sample of 751 sixth-graders (mean age 11.5 years) across 14 schools i…[Read more]

Dental composite is the most used aesthetic restorative biomaterial worldwide. However, it undergoes polymerisation shrinkage that could lead to loss of the interfacial seal between tooth and resin in some circumstances. This demands high-resolution imaging technologies to detect these defects. This study carried out a comparison between…[Read more]

Currently, the global carbon footprint of cement industry is nearly 7 to 8% and this number is expected to grow in the near future given the continued global demand of cement usage in the construction and other sectors. Additionally, extraction of sand from the coastal and riverine environment is detrimental to ecosystem health and also gives rise…[Read more]

Mislabeling of T12 vertebra as L1 has been shown to reduce L1-L4 bone mineral density (BMD). However, the effect of such mislabeling on the L1-L4 BMD and prevalence of osteoporosis and/or osteopenia in a clinical setting is not known. The study aimed to the effect of mislabelling of T12 as L1 on the L1-L4 BMD and diagnosis of…[Read more]
