The contact area (S) among the carbon black (CB) nanoparticles directly and significantly manipulates the conductivity of composites, but it is an unknown and inexact factor. In this article, two conductivity models for polymer CB nanocomposite (PCB) are suggested and verified by at least five co...

Despite the numerous experimented works on the conductivity of carbon black (CB) polymer nanocomposites (PCBs), the modeling methods remain imperfect and require further investigation. Herein, a simple and applicable model for estimating the PCB electrical conductivity is proposed by measurable a...

Pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is the most common cause of pediatric hydronephrosis; however, distinguishing obstructive and non-obstructive dilatation remains challenging. Existing diagnostic modalities are limited by the lack of validation against objective measures of renal injury. ...

Objective: The six-helix bundle (6-HB) is critical for HIV-1 membrane fusion. To disrupt this process, peptide inhibitors have been meticulously designed to target interactions within the 6-HB regions, thereby blocking membrane fusion and exerting inhibitory effects. Current peptide inhibitors li...

Homozygous mutations in the Caspase-associated recruitment domain 9 (CARD9) gene increase susceptibility to invasive fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida species. This study aims to assess the spectrum of CARD9 gene mutations that predispose individuals in the Turkish populatio...

Innovative health measures are essential for promoting "healthy aging." The "ME-BYO" index considers health to exist on a continuum scale rather than as a binary state. This investigation sought to validate the ME-BYO index as a formative construct, examining if its constituent domains appropriat...

Background: Exposure to hypoxia is widely used to enhance training adaptations, but its acute effects on cardiac function remain unclear. Exercise-induced cardiac fatigue (EICF), defined as transient impairments in left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, has been reported after end...

The phytoseiid mite Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans) is recognized as one of the most effective predatory mites and is widely used in the commercial control of various greenhouse pests. In the present study, the influence of four different pollens, musk willow (Salix aegyptica L.), sunflower (Heli...

Loss of skeletal muscle mass contributes to poor respiratory disease outcomes. We previously developed an easy method for assessing physical activity by measuring erector spinae muscle thickness (ESMT) via routine chest computed tomography (CT). Since chest CT is commonly performed in hospitalize...

This study evaluated the analgesic efficacy of Yamamoto new scalp acupuncture (YNSA) in dogs undergoing orchiectomy.Twenty healthy dogs were randomly assigned to the YNSA or control group (n = 10 each). YNSA was initiated 20 minutes before anaesthesia and maintained during surgery. Pain was asses...
