A multimodal group-based immersive virtual reality intervention for improving cognition and mental health in patients with post-covid-19 condition. A quasi-experimental design study.

Introduction: Adults with Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC) may show cognitive impairments in attention, processing speed, memory, and executive function. Multimodal programs that combine cognitive training, physical activity and emotional tasks, such as mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), may offer a suitable alternative for improving PCC treatments. Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) is a promising technology that can enhance traditional cognitive training, physical activity, and MBIs.

Lightweight Crypto-Ransomware Detection in Android Based on Reactive Honeyfile Monitoring.

Given the high relevance and impact of ransomware in companies, organizations, and individuals around the world, coupled with the widespread adoption of mobile and IoT-related devices for both personal and professional use, the development of effective and efficient ransomware mitigation schemes is a necessity nowadays. Although a number of proposals are available in the literature in this line, most of them rely on machine-learning schemes that usually involve high computational cost and resource consumption. Since current personal devices are small and limited in capacities and resources, the mentioned schemes are generally not feasible and usable in practical environments.

Reconstructing the release history of a contaminant source with different precision via the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation.

Identifying a contaminant time-varying release history is an ill-posed problem but crucial for groundwater contamination issues. A precise inversed release history offers a promising estimation of contaminant movement and is of great importance for environmental monitoring and further management. In this paper, a recent emerging data assimilation method, the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (ES-MDA) is employed to handle this conundrum.

Regulation of connexin hemichannel activity by membrane potential and the extracellular calcium in health and disease.

Connexins are thought to solely mediate cell-to-cell communication by forming gap junction channels composed of two membrane-spanning hemichannels positioned end-to-end. However, many if not all connexin isoforms also form functional hemichannels (i.e.
