Published: March 2020

Testing plant responses to natural sources of mechanical vibration requires methods that can precisely reproduce complex vibrational stimuli. Here we describe a method for conducting high-fidelity vibrational playbacks using consumer audio equipment and custom-written signal processing software.

is a pedagogical technique that replicates real-world scenarios in a controlled environment, enabling nursing students to engage in the teaching-learning process actively. While simulated practice is a growing pedagogical strategy, several studies have examined its strengths and limitations. However, evidence of its effectiveness in developing clinical reasoning skills among nursing students still needs to be improved.

Background: Despite the significant role of consensus and dissensus in knowledge production, formal approaches to consensus are notably less common in the humanities compared to their frequent application in natural, social, and life sciences. This article therefore explores the potential of expert consensus methods in humanities-related research.

Methods: In order to do so, an interdisciplinary team of both sciences researchers experienced in consensus methods and researchers familiar with the domain of the humanities and epistemology, conducted a literary review and exchanged their expertise in multiple brainstorm sessions.

Background: Thymidine kinases (TKs) are key enzymes involved in DNA synthesis and repair, with alterations in their expression associated with various cancers. Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) and TK2 are cytosolic enzyme proteins that catalyze the addition of a gamma-phosphate group to thymidine. The existing literature on TK1 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) fails to address the clinical role of TK1 overexpression and its possible molecular mechanism in CESC.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health concern, with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection being a major contributor. Understanding the mechanisms of HBV-associated HCC is crucial to improving the prognosis and developing effective treatments.

Methods: HBV-associated HCC datasets (GSE19665, GSE121248, GSE55092, GSE94660, and TCGA-LIHC) acquired from public databases were mined to identify key driver genes by differentially expressed gene analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), followed by protein-protein interaction network analysis, Lasso-Cox regression analysis, and randomforestSRC algorithm.

The most common STD that triggers cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus. More than 20 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) can induce uterine cervical cancer. Almost all women acquire genital HPV infection soon after their first intercourse, with most of them clearing the virus within 3 years.
