A bio-inspired root pile foundation is evolved from systematic pile foundation technology. The current investigation focuses on root piles load bearing capacity and behaviour under various loading circumstances, including vertical, lateral, and combined loading. This research aims to investigate behaviour of model piles such as Conventional Pile, 3...

Crash cost estimates are essential for evaluating road safety management policies and assessing the economic benefits of safety improvements. Existing studies often rely on aggregated crash data, assuming an even distribution of incidents, which overlooks significant spatial variations influenced by road characteristics and traffic conditions. This...

Inferring and understanding the underlying connectivity structure of a system solely from the observed activity of its constituent components is a challenge in many areas of science. In neuroscience, techniques for estimating connectivity are paramount when attempting to understand the network structure of neural systems from their recorded activit...

As wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with Internet of Things (IoT) devices become increasingly widespread and more complex, the threat of cyber-attacks is also increasing. One of the most common ways WSNs can be hijacked is when passwords/IDs are leaked. If the passwords do not frequently change, it is easier for the system to be compromised. However...

This study explores the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic-induced shift to remote instruction on parental mental health, using data from the American Enterprise Institute's Return-to-Learn tracker and the U.S. Census Pulse Survey. We exploit within-state variation in the timing of school closures from August 2020 to June 2021, controlling flexibly f...

Accurate detection and quantification of biomarkers at ultra-low levels is critical for disease diagnosis and effective treatment. Traditional detection technologies often lack the sensitivity, specificity, throughput, or multiplexing capacity required for comprehensive diagnostics, providing only a subset of these requirements. Here, we introduce ...

This research seeks to enhance energy management systems (EMS) within a microgrid by focusing on the importance of accurate renewable energy prediction and its strong correlation with load curtailment. Analyzing the precision of disturbance predictions, reveals that predicting one hour in advance is more effective than immediate predictions or thos...

Although some studies have compared the treatment outcomes between modified endoscopic mucosal resection (m-EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), the results are based on the experience of experts from a single high-volume center. This multicenter study aimed to compare the outcomes between m-EMR a...

Traditional mechanical methods for implant and bone cement removal during total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision surgeries typically lead to surrounding tissue damage and increased risk of femoral fractures. Transcutaneous induction heating is a promising new removal approach as it causes softening of the thermoplastic bone cement, and thus prevents...
