In recent years, the frequent collapse of bridges has underscored the severe threats posed by ship collisions and seismic forces to bridge pile foundations, particularly under scour conditions. Scour significantly increases bending moments, weakens foundation stability, and exacerbates damage under...

Royal jelly (RJ), a glandular secretion of nurse honey bees, serves as a human dietary supplement. While oral pesticide exposure has been found to compromise RJ quality, the impact of hive-applied acaricides for parasitic mite control remains unexplored. We employed integrated metabolomic and proteo...

Human life history (LH) variation stems from developmental phenotypic responses to childhood environments. As with other psychological constructs, LH variation can be assessed by asking questions that are statistically linked to the underlying LH traits. This study introduces the fast-slow scale (FS...

In the field of ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor localization, traditional backpropagation neural networks (BPNNs) are limited by their susceptibility to local minima, which restricts their ability to achieve global optimization. To overcome this challenge, this paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm, t...

Several factors during pregnancy, such as changes in serotonin (5-HT) levels, can affect intestinal function in offspring mice. The role of 5-HT in regulating intestinal motility after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure during pregnancy is unclear. In this study, Tlr4fl/fl and Tlr4▵IEC mice were inje...
