- Hypoxic mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal circDennd2a regulates granulosa cell glycolysis by interacting with LDHAby Wenxin Li on December 19, 2024
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that HM-Exs-circDennd2a promoted LDHA activity and enhanced GCs glycolytic capacity, both of which support its use as a potential clinical diagnostic and therapeutic target for POI.
- Capillary Force-Assisted CsPbBr3-xIx (x = 0, 1) Columnar Crystal Film for X-ray Detectors with Ultrahigh Electric Field and Sensitivityby Sixin Chen on December 18, 2024
Inorganic halide perovskite thin-film X-ray detectors have attracted great research interest in recent years due to their high sensitivity, low detection limit, and facile fabrication process. The poor crystal quality of the thin film with uncontrollable thickness and low background voltage during detection limits its practical application. Here, a high-quality CsPbBr(3-x)I(x) (x = 0, 1) columnar crystal film is prepared by an improved melt-confined method with a porous anodic aluminum oxide...
- First psychometric evaluation of the Mexican Spanish version of the 11-item BPFSC-11 and convergence with maladaptive self and interpersonal functioningby Carla Sharp on December 18, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: The Mexican Spanish BPFSC-11 appears to show similarly strong psychometric properties of other versions of the BPFSC-11; and the borderline construct as assessed with the BPFSC-11 shows good conversion with general personality functioning in adolescents.
- SLA-MLP: Enhancing Sleep Stage Analysis from EEG Signals Using Multilayer Perceptron Networksby Farah Mohammad on December 17, 2024
Background/Objectives: Sleep stage analysis is considered to be the key factor for understanding and diagnosing various sleep disorders, as it provides insights into sleep quality and overall health. Methods: Traditional methods of sleep stage classification, such as manual scoring and basic machine learning approaches, often suffer from limitations including subjective biases, limited scalability, and inadequate accuracy. Existing deep learning models have improved the accuracy of sleep stage...
