Behaviour of a speargun with a novel muzzle by V. Nigrelli, M. Mucera, T. Ingrassia

“…For this reason, during the results analysis phase, the strain values measured on the roller speargun have been ‘normalized’ by increasing them of a value equal to the ratio of the maximum forces due to the rubber bands. The data post processing has allowed to evaluate the forces and the bending moments on the barrels with the standard muzzle and the roller one. …”

Explainable AI for time series prediction in economic mental health analysis by Ying Yang, Ying Yang, Lifen Wen, Li Li

“…Traditional deep learning approaches, while highly accurate, often operate as black boxes, making them less suitable for high-stakes domains such as mental health forecasting, where explainability is critical for trust and decision-making. Existing post-hoc explainability methods provide only partial insights, limiting their practical application in sensitive domains like mental health analytics.MethodsTo address these challenges, we propose a novel framework that integrates explainability directly within the time series prediction process, combining both intrinsic and post-hoc interpretability techniques. …”

Optimising transitions of care for acute kidney injury survivors: protocol for a mixed-methods study of nephrologist and primary care provider recommendations by Rozalina Grubina McCoy, Kianoush B Kashani, Joan M Griffin, Heather Personett May, Abby K Krauter, Dawn M Finnie, Erin F Barreto

“…Building capacity across the healthcare spectrum by engaging a broad network of multidisciplinary providers to facilitate optimal follow-up care represents an important mechanism to address this existing care gap. Key participants include nephrologists and primary care providers and in-depth study of each specialty’s approach to post-AKI care is essential to optimise care processes and healthcare delivery for AKI survivors.Methods and analysis This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study uses survey and interview methodology to assess nephrologist and primary care provider recommendations for post-AKI care, including KAMPS (kidney function assessment, awareness and education, medication review, blood pressure monitoring and sick day education) elements of follow-up, the role of multispecialty collaboration, and views on care process-specific and patient-specific factors influencing healthcare delivery. …”

Investigating the use of cuprizone and lysolecithin to model demyelination ex vivo in sagittal rat brain organotypic slice cultures by Brooke Hawker, Bronwen Connor, Amy McCaughey-Chapman

“…We have previously reported the ability to generate sagittal organotypic brain slice cultures, allowing us to investigate the anterior-to-posterior integrity of the corpus callosum during demyelination and remyelination processes. To extend our sagittal organotypic brain slice culture model, this study compares the ability for two common demyelinating agents, cuprizone (CPZ) or lysolecithin (LPC), to induce demyelination of the corpus callosum.MethodsRat brain sagittal organotypic slice cultures were generated with clear visualization of the corpus callosum and treated either with CPZ (1 mM) or LPC (0.5 mg/mL).ResultsWe demonstrate that CPZ treatment induces acute demyelination followed by endogenous remyelination 1-week post-treatment. …”

Evaluation of synergistic effect of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Lecanicillium lecacii on the mosquito Culex quinquefaciatus. by Aditya Shankar Kataki, Francesco Baldini, Anjana Singha Naorem

“…However, their combined efficacy has not yet been evaluated against mosquito control in prior research and a gap of knowledge is still existing. So, this research was an attempt to bridge up the knowledge gap by (1) Assessing the combined efficacy of Beauveria bassiana and Lecanicillium lecanii on Culex quinquefasciatus (2) To investigate the sub-lethal concentration (LC50) of the combined fungal concentration and (3) To examine the post-mortem effects caused by the combined fungal concentration under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). …”
