It’s been two years since the Garvey sisters got away with murder … or did they?
Americas Swedish defense contractor Saab has made an offer for the sale of its JAS 39 Gripen light supersonic aircraft to the Republic of Colombia. The potential contract of an undisclosed number of Gripens with Bogotá was first revealed unofficially by Swedish public news agency Sveriges Radio, according to a report by Reuters. In a recent interview, Saab CEO Micael Johansson confirmed this, saying that the Stockholm-based company committed to a “full-fledged” proposal to the Latin American country. Читать дальше...

The police service is big on plans but short on detail, including costs, when talking about how artificial intelligence and other new technologies can reduce crime
Casa Figa is a statement of how the simplicity and wisdom of traditional constructions can merge with the contemporary context, respecting both local culture and the environment. Located near the village of Caraíva, in Bahia, just a few kilometers upstream, the house is a delicate expression of caiçara architecture, where coexistence with nature and the preservation of artisanal knowledge form the foundation of the project.

The petroleum hydrocarbons in seawater have been worldwide concern contaminants. Biological method, with the advantages of low cost, minimal environmental impact, and no secondary pollution, is a promising method for petroleum hydrocarbon treatment. In this study, two strains, identified as Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila and Ochrobactrum, were demonstrated to possess the ability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons. The mixed... Читать дальше...

Recent research indicates that paranormal belief, in the absence of allied cognitive-perceptual and psychopathology-related factors, is not associated with negative wellbeing outcomes. However, investigators have historically reported relationships between specific facets of belief (e.g., superstition) and stress vulnerability. These typically derive from the Revised Paranormal Belief Scale (RPBS), which has questionable psychometric integrity. Читать дальше...

In this paper, we reintroduce Dr. John Cross’ neglected and unusually complete historical data set describing a smallpox epidemic occurring in Norwich, England in 1819. We analyze this epidemic data in the context of early models of epidemic spread including the Farr–Evans–Brownlee Normal law, the Kermack–McKendrick square Hyperbolic Secant and SIR laws, along with the modern Volz–Miller random-network law. We show that Cross’ hypothesis of susceptible... Читать дальше...

This paper presents a design of fully differential chopper amplifier employing the flipped voltage follower (FVF) adaptive biasing technique, focusing on its potential use in biopotential recording applications. The suggested architectural OTA incorporates self-cascoded current mirrors (SCCMs) as the active load to achieve a substantial output swing. The FVFs based adaptive biasing approach for the differential input stage boosts extra current... Читать дальше...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss, involving mechanisms such as tau hyperphosphorylation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Increasing evidence suggests that age-related alterations in metabolite levels are crucial for the pathogenesis of AD. Here, we analyzed serum metabolites from mice of various ages (2, 4, 14, and 21 months old) using mass spectrometry. We identified palmitoyl-L-carnitine... Читать дальше...

Since the launch of the Chinese High-resolution Earth Observation System (CHEOS) program, China has strengthened its research and development in the field of satellite remote sensing. A large number of sensors has been or will be launched, providing very large data streams which all require processing of the engineering data, as provided by the instruments, to physical data which will be used for further processing and interpretation.

BackgroundThe triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been well recognized as a reliable marker of insulin resistance and substantially correlated with the pathogenesis and progression of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. However, no study has investigated the association between the TyG index and endometriosis. Therefore, this study aimed to uncover an association between the TyG index and endometriosis.
MethodsThis cross-sectional investigation... Читать дальше...

BackgroundRisk factors for influenza complications in women are poorly understood. We examined the association between pregnancy outcomes and risk of influenza hospitalization up to three decades later.
MethodsWe analyzed a cohort of 1,421,531 pregnant women who delivered in Quebec, Canada between 1989 and 2021. Patients were followed over time beginning at the first delivery. The main exposure measures included obstetric complications such as preeclampsia... Читать дальше...

IntroductionPreeclampsia remains a formidable public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where it significantly contributes to the high rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The advent of mobile health (mHealth) applications presents a promising avenue for enhancing the management of preeclampsia. This review protocol is designed to systematically assess the effectiveness and equity... Читать дальше...

This paper proposes the use of machine learning models to predict one’s risk of having hypertension in the future using their routine health checkup data of their current and past visits to a health checkup center. The large-scale and high-dimensional dataset used in this study comes from MJ Health Research Foundation in Taiwan. The training data for models is separated into 5 folds and used to train 5 models in a 5-fold cross validation manner. Читать дальше...
