Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent mental condition characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions), significantly disrupting daily functioning and social interactions.Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) presents a promising non-invasive treatment modality aimed at allevia
A Comparative Study of Methods for Estimating the Thickness of Glacial Debris: A Case Study of the Koxkar Glacier in the Tian Shan Mountains
The local or overall mass balance of a glacier is significantly influenced by the spatial heterogeneity of its overlying debris thickness.Accurately estimating the debris thickness of glaciers is essential for understanding their hydrological processes and the impact of climate change.This study focuses on the Koxkar Glacier in the Tian Shan Mounta
A systematic review of comparisons between protocols or registrations and full reports in primary biomedical research
Abstract Background Prospective study protocols and registrations can play a significant role in reducing incomplete or selective reporting of primary biomedical research, because they are pre-specified blueprints which are available for the evaluation of, and comparison with, full reports.However, inconsistencies between protocols or registrations
Polydopamine-assisted surface modification for orthopaedic implants
Along with the massive use of implants in orthopaedic surgeries in recent few decades, there has been a tremendous demand for the surface modification of the implants to avoid surgery failure and improve their function.Polydopamine (PDA), being able to adhere to almost all kinds of substrates and possessing copious functional groups for covalently
