Mechanical behaviour of reconstructed defected skull with custom PEEK implant and Titanium fixture plates under dynamic loading conditions using FEM.

Skull reconstruction using cranial implants is often required for repairing skull defects caused due to trauma, diseases, or malignancy to protect intracranial structures. For relieving Intracranial Pressure (ICP) surgeons restore cranial defects either using natural bones or fabricated custom cranial implants. With the increase in Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and challenges faced by TBI patients to regain normalcy, it is imperative to analyse the mechanical behaviour of skull-implant assemblies under some Head Injury Criteria (HIC).

CMS pythia 8 colour reconnection tunes based on underlying-event data.

New sets of parameter tunes for two of the colour reconnection models, quantum chromodynamics-inspired and gluon-move, implemented in the pythia  8 event generator, are obtained based on the default CMS pythia  8 underlying-event tune, CP5. Measurements sensitive to the underlying event performed by the CMS experiment at centre-of-mass energies and 13, and by the CDF experiment at 1.96 are used to constrain the parameters of colour reconnection models and multiple-parton interactions simultaneously.

Photonic nanoparticles: emerging theranostics in cancer treatment.

This review explores the potential of photonic nanoparticles for cancer theranostics. Photonic nanoparticles offer unique properties and photonics capabilities that make them promising materials for cancer treatment, particularly in the presence of near-infrared light.

Convex Optimization for Nonequilibrium Steady States on a Hybrid Quantum Processor.

Finding the transient and steady state properties of open quantum systems is a central problem in various fields of quantum technologies. Here, we present a quantum-assisted algorithm to determine the steady states of open system dynamics. By reformulating the problem of finding the fixed point of Lindblad dynamics as a feasibility semidefinite program, we bypass several well-known issues with variational quantum approaches to solving for steady states.

India may need an additional metric to assess the endemicity of malaria in low surveillance districts.

India's National Framework for malaria elimination is essentially dependent on Annual Parasite Incidence (API). API is the primary criterion for classifying states and districts into different categories: intensified control, pre-elimination, elimination, prevention and re-establishment of malaria. However, API's validity is critically dependent on multiple factors, one such important factor is Annual Blood Examination Rate (ABER) and is often considered as indicator of operational efficiency.

Zfp503/Nlz2 Is Required for RPE Differentiation and Optic Fissure Closure.

Purpose: Uveal coloboma is a congenital eye malformation caused by failure of the optic fissure to close in early human development. Despite significant progress in identifying genes whose regulation is important for executing this closure, mutations are detected in a minority of cases using known gene panels, implying additional genetic complexity. We have previously shown knockdown of znf503 (the ortholog of mouse Zfp503) in zebrafish causes coloboma.

Text-Based Emotion Recognition Using Deep Learning Approach.

Sentiment analysis is a method to identify people's attitudes, sentiments, and emotions towards a given goal, such as people, activities, organizations, services, subjects, and products. Emotion detection is a subset of sentiment analysis as it predicts the unique emotion rather than just stating positive, negative, or neutral. In recent times, many researchers have already worked on speech and facial expressions for emotion recognition.

Combined ligand-based and structure-based design of PDE 9A inhibitors against Alzheimer's disease.

PDE9 enzyme hydrolyzes cGMP, which is involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity through the NMDA pathway (a well-known excitotoxic target for AD) via activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent neuronal NO synthases in the postsynaptic neurons. The inhibition of PDE9 leads to elevated cGMP levels, causing enhanced NMDA signaling and thus contributing to an increase in synaptic plasticity and stabilization. Therefore, it could be considered a pertinent target for AD drug discovery.
