Besides global attention on extreme precipitation, a limited research has been done in the Arctic due to constraints of data availability. In this backdrop, we attempt to analyze extreme precipitation events at three Arctic stations (Bjørnøya, Ny-Ålesund, and Svalbard Lufthavn) in Svalbard using extreme value theory. The analysis revealed that these high-latitudinal Arctic stations were characterized by heavy-tailed distributions for the exceedances, suggesting a higher probability of the occurrence of extreme precipitation events.

Metal halide perovskites are ideal candidates for indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) due to their tunable bandgaps, which allow the active layers to be optimized for artificial light sources. However, significant non-radiative carrier recombination under low-light conditions has limited the full potential of perovskite-based IPVs. To address this challenge, an integration of perylene diimide (PDI)-based sulfobetaines as cathode interlayers (CILs) is proposed and the impact of varying alkyl chain length (from 1,2-ethylene to 1,5-pentylene) between the cationic and the anionic moieties is examined.

Atorvastatin calcium, an antifungal agent, has the potential to be repositioned/repurposed to combat the increasing antimicrobial resistance. However, one of the most crucial issues in developing atorvastatin calcium-loaded products with a topical antifungal effect is achieving the optimal release and dissolution rates of this statin to produce the desired therapeutic effect. In this paper, we report on the development and pharmaceutical assessment of hydrogels composed of low-molecular-weight chitosan, tragacanth, and xanthan gum/pectin/κ-carrageenan as potential drug carriers for atorvastatin calcium for buccal delivery.

Background: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are characterized by chronic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and muscle tissue mitochondrial defect, leading to the local oxidative stress response. However, data on its systemic intensity and correlation with IIM clinical and laboratory characteristics remains scarce.
Methods: In clinically stable dermatomyositis (n = 18) and myositis (n = 38) patients and matched controls (n = 50), we measured global oxidative stress response in peripheral blood using a novel coumarin boronic acid (CBA) assay enabling real-time detection of protein hydroperoxides (HP) formed in serum.

Synthesis of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) is one of the adaptations of psychrophilic yeast to live in cold environments. AFPs demonstrate thermal hysteresis (TH) activity and inhibit the recrystallization of ice (IRI) during periodic temperature fluctuations. In this study, the Antarctic yeast strain 186, identified as Glaciozyma martinii, was found to synthesize an extracellular, glycosylated ~27 kDa ice-binding protein (GmAFP) exhibiting IRI activity.

Flow Mediated Skin Fluorescence (FMSF) is a new non-invasive diagnostic method for assessing vascular circulation and/or metabolic regulation. The method measures stimulation of the circulation in response to post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH). It analyzes the dynamical changes in NADH fluorescence emitted from skin tissue, providing information on mitochondrial metabolic status and intracellular oxygen delivery through the circulatory system.

Summary: The FASTQ format remains at the heart of high-throughput sequencing. Despite advances in specialized FASTQ compressors, they are still imperfect in terms of practical performance tradeoffs. We present a multi-threaded version of Pseudogenome-based Read Compressor (PgRC), an in-memory algorithm for compressing the DNA stream, based on the idea of approximating the shortest common superstring over high-quality reads.

Carbonate apatite (CA) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) are components of infection urinary stones, the occurrence of which is becoming more frequent, especially in highly developed countries. The reasons for this increase can be traced to the consumption of highly processed food, the production of which uses flavor enhancers and preservatives. One of the substances used in the food industry is phosphoric acid (H3PO4).

In this study, four various titanium dioxide/cuprum oxide (TiO/CuO) photovoltaic structures deposited on glass/indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates using the direct-current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering technique were annealed in air. In our previous work, the deposition parameters for different buffer layer configurations were first optimized to enhance cell fabrication efficiency. In this paper, the effects of post-deposition annealing at 150 °C in air on the optical properties and I-V characteristics of the prepared structures were examined.

This article presents studies on the effect of Sr and TiB on the crystallization process, mechanical properties, hardness, and density index of the Al-Si alloy from the EN AC-46000 group, with a narrowed chemical composition, produced by die-casting and HPDC (high-pressure die casting) technology. The research used the Box-Wilson method to design the experiment and stepwise multiple regression. To identify the optimal amount of Sr and Ti in the analyzed alloy that would simultaneously guarantee the maximization of UTS, YS, A, and HBW and the minimization of the DI (density index), multi-criteria optimization was performed.

The present work is focused on designing novel heteroaromatic systems, formally a hybrid of dibenzo[,]oxazepines and 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-]pyrroles (DHPPs). Straightforward synthesis affords a family of rigid, centrosymmetric, π-expanded aromatic heterocycles amenable to facile post-functionalization. The rigidified molecular architecture is responsible for several key photophysical features including (1) the excellent blue colour purity (full width at half maximum parameter = 0.

Background: With the increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the healthcare sector and the emergence of new solutions, such as large language models, there is a growing need to combine medical knowledge, often expressed as clinical rules, with advances in machine learning (ML) offering higher prediction accuracy at the expense of decision-making transparency.
Purpose: This study investigates the efficacy of various aggregation methods combining the decisions of an AI model and a clinical rule-based (RB) engine in predicting vaccine hesitancy to maximize the effectiveness of patient incentive programs. This is the first study of parallel ensemble of rules and machine learning in clinical context proposing RB confidence-led fusion of ML and RB inference.

Nowadays, there is an increased demand for energy, the access to which, however, is limited due to the decreasing of fossil sources and the need to reduce emissions, especially carbon dioxide. One possible remedy for this situation is using hydrogen as a source of green energy. Hydrogen is usually bound to other chemical elements and can be separated via energy-intensive few-step conversion processes.
