Since the controversy around ethicality of ESCs continue to be debated, iPSCs have been used to circumvent the process around destruction of the human embryo. The use of iPSCs have transformed biological research, wherein increasing number of studies are documenting nuclear reprogramming strategies to make them beneficial models for drug screening as well a…

This represents about 4% of the total trips made in the city, and this modal share increases in zones and periods with low Metro and bus coverage. This study is a first attempt at studying shared taxis as a relevant transport alternative, analysing its main attributes and modelling its demand.

A modelling framework is described that uses spatially-explicit individual-based models to explore the effects of individual behavioural rules within a landscape. The technique described gives a simple method for exploring the effects of the removal of wild corridors, and the creation of wild set-aside fields: interventions that are common to many national…

Mice are commonly used to study intervertebral disc (IVD) biology and related diseases such as IVD degeneration. Discs from both the lumbar and tail regions are used.

Abstract This study focuses on optimizing double stir casting process parameters to enhance the tensile strength of hybrid composites comprising aluminum alloy, brown pumice, and coal ash, intended for brake disc applications.

Abstract Background There is a dearth of studies focused on the impact of self-rated health on life satisfaction among large-bodied adolescents, as well as the moderating role of physical activity in this relationship.

This paper presents a cognitive task analysis to derive models of decision making for rail maintenance processes. Maintenance processes are vital for safe and continuous availability of rail assets and services.

Healthcare is one of the most important sectors of the public economy in the EU countries. An important task in the analysis and prediction of the values for healthcare funding is the development and application of quantitative models based on different mathematical methods.

In this study, we investigate the impact of prior ferrite on the bainite transformation kinetics and microstructure of medium-carbon steel interrupted by an intercritical annealing (IAA) process.

Most of the models for thermal grids developed during past years usually assumed a centralized production of the consumed heat. The increasing presence of prosumers will require accurate dynamic modelling to monitor the changes induced in the thermohydraulic parameters of the network.

Through physical unpredictability, conceptual deficiencies, including untheorizability reasons, and modelling predicaments, non-algorithmicity is gestured toward. Lifeforms are machines at least in simulations, and are oracles by their manifestations.

Methods Men aged 40–79 years were recruited from primary care for participation in the UK arm of the European Male Aging Study between 2003 and 2005. Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to determine the association between CAG repeat number/mortality.

In this paper, numerical modelling has been undertaken to simulate a continuous time series pore water pressure within a representative cutting in London Clay. The approach uses synthetic control and future climate scenarios from a weather generator to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on cutting stability.

The data were collected from 487 users of different sharing economy platforms in the United States. Structural equation modelling was employed to analyse the correlation of the examined variables.

Metode pengembangan yang digunakan yaitu model prototype dengan perancangan diagram Unified Modelling Language (UML). Sistem dibuat menggunakan Framework Codeigniter dengan Bahasa pemograman Hypertext Preprocessing (PHP) sebagai Server side Programing dan MySQL sebagai Database Server.

We use explanatory factor analysis and partial least squares path modelling for comparing the determinants of tourist satisfaction prior and during the pandemic based on surveys conducted in 2019 (N = 1556) and 2020 (N = 2220).

Machine learning classification (Random Forest) achieved high accuracy (Test Accuracy = 0.94; Kappa = 0.89), enabling robust LULC mapping, while predictive modelling of urban expansion, calibrated through a Gradient Boosting Machine, attained a Figure of Merit of 0.157, confirming strong predictive reliability.
