Cancer
A study published in the Cancer journal has found that patients experiencing severe side-effect bother during cancer treatment are more likely to discontinue their therapy. The research, conducted by investigators at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, analyzed data from four clinical trials involving patients with breast cancer, melanoma, and
Animal feeding and feeds
Research published in Aquaculture and Fisheries has identified Spirulina (Arthrospira) as a promising feed additive in sustainable aquaculture practices. As the global demand for fish and shellfish products continues to rise, and fishmeal prices remain high, researchers at UiT The Arctic University of Norway have been investigating suitable alternatives. Their
Traffic accidents
In a critical study, researchers at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology have developed a highly scalable model predictive control strategy for traffic accident scenarios. The proposed method, which utilizes vehicle trajectory data generated during an accident, offers technical support for maintaining traffic flow stability and smoothness when
Fishery research
Research conducted in Sapporo, Japan, has explored the use of fatty acid markers to differentiate between hatchery and wild chum salmon fry in natural environments. The study found significant differences in the fatty acid compositions of hatchery and wild fish, with levels of 18:2n-6 (linoleic acid) being higher in
Automotive industry
Research published in Batteries & Supercaps by a team of scientists from Anhui University reveals a comprehensive exposition of data-driven methodologies for estimating the state of health of lithium-ion batteries. The study aims to ensure the safe and efficient operation of electric vehicles by identifying key factors influencing battery state
Biosecurity
Research conducted by the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine has revealed the presence of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in pasteurized milk samples. The study analyzed 750 milk samples and found a significant noncompliance rate of 5% in the Enterobacteriaceae counts, indicating postpasteurization contamination. The DEC-specific virulence genes, eae, bfpA, aggR,
Life expectancy
Research from Southeast University has shed new light on the relationship between medical resource allocation and life expectancy, with a focus on the threshold effects of spatial access to medical resources over a 19-year period in Hong Kong. The study, which has been peer-reviewed, utilized official records from 41 public
Adults
Researchers at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, have developed a Transformer-based method for estimating energy expenditure (EE) accurately and conveniently in sports science. The method, called Energy Expenditure Estimation Skeleton Transformer (E3SFormer), uses a novel approach that features dual Transformer branches for simultaneous action recognition
Databases
Research conducted by scientists at Beijing Normal University has led to the development of a new angular index called the Snow Anisotropic Reflectance Index (SARI), which significantly improves the accuracy of snow and ice identification. By utilizing the RossThick-LisparseReciprocal-Snow (RTLSRS) bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model, the SARI index allows
European Union
Researchers have identified novel food insects as a sustainable protein source, but the accuracy of protein identification in these products is hindered by limited species-specific proteomic databases. To address this challenge, scientists have developed a homology-based proteomic workflow to explore the allergenic potential of edible insect species. This study aimed
3D printing
Researchers from 3DFortify Inc. have been granted a patent for an inventive additive manufacturing apparatus that enables the precise mixing of materials for 3D printing. According to the patent, the apparatus addresses the limitations of traditional additive manufacturing methods by allowing for in-line formulation of materials, which can improve manufacturing
Cancer
Recent research conducted by Li-Yun Duan and colleagues at Guang'anmen Hospital in Beijing, China, suggests that certain antidiabetic drugs may have a protective effect against cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study, published in the World Journal of Diabetes, involved a systematic review and
