Six coumarins were isolated from two bioactive fractions of the 70% ethanol extract from the twigs and leaves of Wikstroemia indica (L.) C.A. Mey. (Thymelaeaceae), namely the ethyl acetate fraction (WIE) and the water fraction (WIW). These compounds were identified as umbelliferone (1), daphnoretin (2), daphnorin (3), adicardin (4), wikstronutin (5), and triumbelletin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (6). Compou

Despite growing emphasis on home-based rehabilitation following stroke, there remains limited understanding of how to effectively tailor services to individual needs. This study employed concept mapping to explore diverse stakeholder perspectives on adapting home-based rehabilitation to better support the recovery process after stroke. Through this mixed-methods participatory approach, we engaged

Many real-world systems generate multivariate time series data, often exhibiting self-similarity and scale-invariance across different modalities. The estimation of Hurst exponents in such settings is crucial for analyzing long-range dependencies. Yet, traditional eigenanalysis-based methods suffer from scale-dependent distortions, particularly in the presence of scaling amplitude discrepancies. I

BACKGROUND: Fever is associated with brain injury after cardiac arrest. It is unknown whether fever management with a feedback-controlled device impacts patient-centered outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. This trial aims to investigate fever management with or without a temperature control device after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: The TEMP-CARE trial is part of the 2 × 2 × 2 factoria

The first measurements of proton emission accompanied by neutron emission in the electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) of Pb208 nuclei in the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The EMD protons and neutrons emitted at very forward rapidities are detected by the proton and neutron zero degree calorimeters of the ALICE experiment. The emission cross sections of zero, one, two,

This paper introduces a novel dataset that serves as a prototype of what we call the ‘Job Ads Database’ (JADB). The underlying job advertisements are gathered from the Swedish digitalized newspaper corpus hosted by and made accessible through the Swedish National Library (Kungliga Biblioteket). JADB enables studying how the frequency and content of job advertisements change over time and sheds new

Summary Data on species' demography are essential to detect changes in population size, identify drivers of population change, motivate conservation plans, or evaluate the effectiveness of management. The Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus is a seabird with a circumpolar distribution, which is listed as Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) European Red List, al

This paper proposes an alternative semi-analytical Fourier modal method adapted for general periodic anisotropic gratings made of dielectrics with moderate to low index profiles corresponding to materials ranging from conventional dielectric 3D printing materials to ceramic materials. The proposed method is closely related to the classical rigorous coupled wave analysis built on scattering matrice

Voice problems are common among workers in occupations with high demands on oral communication. For sustaining vocal health, it is important to find efficient ways for how to reduce strain on the voice at work, and one way to do so is optimizing the room acoustics for communication. However, to date we do not know enough about what kind of room acoustic conditions that support voice and speech mos

We consider the problem of reconstructing the sound field in a room using prior information of the boundary geometry, represented as a point cloud. In general, when no boundary information is available, an accurate sound field reconstruction over a large spatial region and at high frequencies requires numerous microphone measurements. On the other hand, if all geometrical and acoustical aspects of

A measurement of off-shell Higgs boson production in the H∗ → ZZ → 4ℓ decay channel is presented. The measurement uses 140 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and supersedes the previous result in this decay channel using the same dataset. The data analysis is performed using a neural simulation-based inference method, which

The instability of perovskite interfaces caused by interfacial defects and heterojunction evolution hinders the realization of long-term stable inverse perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). This work reports a strategy for the study of heterojunction evolution, the effects of buried interface and carrier dynamics on the stability of perovskite films and devices in 2D/3D heterojunctions. The emphasis is

In this paper, we consider near-field localization and sensing with an extremely large aperture array under partial blockage of array antennas, where spherical wavefront and spatial non-stationarity are accounted for. We propose an Ising model to characterize the clustered sparsity feature of the blockage pattern, develop an algorithm based on alternating optimization for joint channel parameter e

In this Letter, the first evidence of the (Formula presented) antihypernucleus is presented, along with the first measurement at the LHC of the production of (anti)hypernuclei with mass number (Formula presented), specifically (Formula presented) and (Formula presented). In addition, the antiparticle-to-particle ratios for both hypernuclei ((Formula presented) and (Formula presented)) are shown, w

This paper proposes a high-precision self-sensing method for piezoelectric actuators using a hybrid neural network that integrates complex permittivity information. The proposed method addresses the limitations of conventional permittivity-based self-sensing, which typically exhibits approximately 1% remaining hysteresis. A knowledge-based polynomial model is first employed to capture the primary

Wetting and dewetting dynamics in aqueous solutions containing amphiphilic compounds involve intricate interactions that influence contact angles and surface tension, with broad implications in materials science and biology. This study explores the dynamics of wetting and dewetting on glass surfaces in aqueous media containing the amphiphilic compound C18OE84, focusing on capillary rise behavior.
