This food science study assessed how UV irradiation, pulsed electric field, hot water dip, and ethanol vapour treatments affected mung bean sprout quality and storage life at room and low temperatures. The abstract reports minimal effects on sprout growth metrics, with ethanol suppressing…

This chart review describes four cases where stereotactic marking and excision were used to remove nonpalpable colorectal liver metastases during hepatic metastasectomy, guided by intraoperative ultrasound. Intraoperative ultrasound identified an additional lesion in one patient, and all…

This open case study assessed transcranially applied pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) as a potential therapy for multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) in three patients. Two of three patients reported considerable improvements in MCS-related symptoms/functional impairments and reduced…

This engineering paper describes a fiber-based method for stable radio-frequency dissemination using a hybrid frequency modulation approach. Two RF components are transmitted simultaneously using a single laser diode, with one component used for phase fluctuation detection and the other providing…

This engineering/physical chemistry study develops an analytical model and uses computer simulations to describe the electric field in oxide films during thermal metal oxidation. It reports that the electrostatic potential drop across the bulk oxide is often limited to about kBT/e, suggesting most…

This laboratory study investigates various ionic liquids using an electrophoresis of a charged droplet method in a dielectric liquid under an applied electric field. While charged droplets typically bounce between electrodes, the authors report that some ionic liquids exhibit a retreating…

This engineering/physical chemistry study quantified interfacial electric fields in dye-sensitized solar cells using a newly described electroabsorption signature. Reported field strengths depended on the electrolyte cation (higher for divalent cations) and were linked to TiO2(e−) + I3− charge…

This engineering study assesses optimal RF frequencies for wireless communication with intraoral electronic devices using an intraoral tongue drive system as an example. It compares 27 MHz, 433.9 MHz, and 2.48 GHz based on path loss, radiation patterns, and bit error rate tests, with adaptive…

This preliminary prospective clinical trial compared pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (PEMF) and low intensity laser irradiation (LILI) as adjuncts to mandibular fracture repair assessed by clinical union and radiodensitometric bone density. Clinical outcomes (segment stability and…

This engineering study evaluates a nanoantenna design that combines concentric gold rings with a directivity-enhanced Raman scattering structure. Using finite-difference time-domain simulations and SERS measurements on fabricated devices with thiophenol, the authors report stronger electric field…

This cross-sectional questionnaire study assessed how orthopaedic residents and consultants in Karachi used smartphones for clinical work and academics. Most respondents owned smartphones and reported using apps and internet/email, but fewer used them to share clinical data. The paper does not…

This engineering/materials study examined how RF magnetron sputtering power affects the structural and optical properties of In2S3 thin films intended as a CdS buffer substitute in CIGS solar cells. Films deposited at 60–120 W were characterized using XRD, AFM, EDS, and UV-visible…

This engineering study reports optical and electrical characteristics of photonic gel cells made from a PS-b-P2VP lamellar film and a hydrogel electrolyte on ITO glass. Applying 2 V between two facing electrodes over 30 minutes shifted the device reflectance peak from 538 nm up to 604 nm with…

This study describes the design, pilot testing, and validation of a mobile phone application version of the Guatemala NEMS-S supermarket survey. In a single supermarket, the app demonstrated high interrater reliability relative to the paper version and good test-retest reliability. The app also…

This engineering/medical physics study used Monte Carlo simulations to examine how a uniform transverse magnetic field affects the dose distribution of a 30 MeV electron beam in a water phantom. The abstract reports substantial changes in depth-dose, including reduced range and a pronounced…
