Kidney function tests are simple blood and urine tests that can identify problems with your kidneys. These tests can estimate your glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which indicates how quickly your ...

Our brains are much more active when we daydream than previously thought. Activity in numerous brain regions increases when our minds wander, according to new research. Psychologists found that brain ...

Publish your MATLAB® functions to MATLAB Production Server™ as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. This allows AI agents to call your functions, enhancing their capabilities with domain-specific ...

Liver damage typically progresses through four stages — inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end stage liver disease (ESLD) — with worsening scarring that reduces liver function. Liver failure can ...

The prefrontal cortex is a cortical area located in the anterior frontal lobe, including several subdivisions (e.g. ventromedial, dorsolateral, orbitofrontal cortices). The prefrontal cortex functions ...

You can’t find your keys, you keep forgetting names, or perhaps you missed an appointment. For many people in middle age or older, simple acts of forgetfulness like these are scary because they raise ...

Research Background The nonsmooth modeling method based on the cone complementarity problem (CCP) is one of the most effective approaches for solving spatial frictional contact problems. The ...

While many people may enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a celebratory cocktail, drinking too much has the potential to cause physical and psychological distress. When someone can’t control their ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel proximal gradient neurodynamic network (PGNN) for solving composite optimization problems (COPs). The proposed PGNN with time-varying coefficients can be ...

Abstract: Characterization of entropy functions is of fundamental importance in information theory. By imposing constraints on their Shannon outer bound, i.e., the polymatroidal region, one obtains ...

Introduction: This study investigates the cognitive effects of long term (years of practice) Tai Chi practice, revealing mixed outcomes for executive functions. This study equally addresses the gap in ...
