The Swiss ADME website was used to predict the physicochemical properties of the new compounds using computational techniques like ADME studies. All produced compounds, according to this study, complies with the Lipinski rule of five. The microculture tetrazolium (MTT) assay was utilized to assess the investigated …

Upper Extremity Return To Sport Functional Testing: A Systematic Review, Marisa Pontillo, Eric Bellm, Patrick Barber, Matthew L. Gauthier, Casey A. Unverzagt, George J. Davies

Physical Therapy Faculty Publications

Background: Upper extremity return to sport (RTS) assessments are not standardized with respect to which metrics to use, if the metrics are appropriate for all populations and levels of competition, and what constitutes good or poor test performance. Subsequently, clinicians may utilize suboptimal metrics to evaluate RTS readiness, or forgo objective criteria altogether. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (reliability, agreement/measurement error, hypothesis testing/construct validity, criterion/predictive validity, responsiveness) of upper extremity functional tests used to assess RTS readiness.

Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines, with all studies included assessed via the PEDro scale. Literature …

Role Of Piezo1 Channels Expressed In Pvn In Regulating Sympathetic Nerve Activity And Arterial Blood Pressure In Rats, Yue Chen, Wei Guo, Jichun Wang, Min Wang, Yuying Yang, Gregory Miodonski, Enshe Jiang, Qing Hui Chen, Yi Yang, Renjun Wang

Michigan Tech Publications

Mechanosensitive Piezo1 channels participate in regulating pain sensitivity, insulin secretion, and vascular tension; however, their expression in the autonomic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and role in modulating sympathetic outflow and cardiovascular function remain unstudied. In this study, unilateral PVN microinjection of the Piezo1 channel blocker Dooku1 (0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 200 pmol) administered to anesthetized male rats increased renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and mean artery pressure (MAP) in a dose-dependent manner, with maximum increases of 93 ± 30% (p < 0.0001) and 21 ± 5 mmHg (p < 0.0001), respectively, elicited by Dooku1 at 100 pmol. Similarly, PVN microinjection of the peptide Piezo1 channel blocker GsMTx4 (1 nmol) significantly increased RSNA (p < 0.001) and MAP (p < 0.0001). Conversely, PVN-microinjected Piezo1 channel activators Yoda1 (5 nmol) and Jedi2 (5 nmol) did not significantly alter RSNA or MAP. Western blot and qRT-PCR analyses of the hypothalamic PVN showed abundant Piezo1 mRNA and protein expression. Immunofluorescence detection showed that Piezo1 was expressed in pre-sympathetic PVN neurons with axons projecting to the rostral ventrolateral medulla. We conclude that Piezo1 channels expressed in the autonomic PVN neurons play an important role in regulating sympathetic outflow and cardiovascular function.

Intraspecific Meristic Variation In Gambusia Holbrooki From The Middle East And Its Implications For Stock Structure And Taxonomic Status, Fatema A. Al Fatle, Ana L. Ibaňez, Laith A. Jawad

Baghdad Science Journal

An analysis was conducted on the variation in the counts of seven meristic traits of the eastern mosquito fish, Gambusia holbrooki, using samples collected from ten different sites in the Middle East. These sites are located along the Tigris, Euphrates, and Shatt al-Arab Rivers, spanning across Iraq, Iran,Türkiye, and Syria. The study revealed a northward increase in the average values of these meristic traits, with the highest recorded in Türkiye and the lowest in the southern region of Iraq. The statistical analysis using Boxplots demonstrated that the seven meristic features were distinct across different rivers, with no overlap observed. …

A Capability Maturity Model For Artificial Intelligence Integration In Supply Chain Management, Lordt Becklines

Dissertations

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming Supply Chain Management (SCM), yet many organizations struggle to assess their readiness for AI adoption and to understand how AI capabilities develop across maturity stages. This dissertation addresses this gap by developing a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for AI integration in SCM, grounded in Organizational Information Processing Theory (OIPT), the Resource-Based View, and related capability frameworks. The model provides a structured approach for evaluating an organization's information-processing requirements, resource configurations, and alignment needed for effective AI-enabled supply chain operations.

Using a design science research approach, the AI-SCM CMM and its associated assessment instrument were derived …

Immigrant Firms’ Commitment And Survival: Does Owner Identity Matter?, Nathaniel C. Lupton, Sarika Pruthi, Alfredo Jiménez

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

How does immigrant ownership influence small firm survival in comparison with that of family ownership? While it is generally accepted that socioemotional wealth (SEW) preservation motivates family firms to avoid taking risks, this effect has not been considered in immigrant-owned firms. Many of the same affinity factors are likely to influence the survival of both ownership types, but we argue that immigrant-owned firms may experience them more strongly as they reside at the intersection of the liabilities of smallness and foreignness. Drawing on a large sample of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ecuador, we find that immigrant-owned firms have …

Agent-To-Agent (A2a) Agent Card Creation Through Model Context Protocol (Mcp) And Agent Skill Compilation, Robert Barton, Arjun Sambamoorthy, Yathi Udupi

Defensive Publications Series

Proposed herein are techniques for a system that automatically generates Agent-to-Agent (A2A) capability cards by scanning Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and semantically analyzing the tool inventories of the servers. The system transforms low-level tool specifications into high-level capability descriptions through a multi-stage pipeline that extracts schemas, infers dependencies, detects relationships, clusters related tools into skills, and abstracts skills into comprehensive capabilities. The output is a standardized A2A agent card that enables efficient agent discovery and collaboration in multi-agent systems.

The Impact Of Integrating Social Benefit Requirements For Urban Green Infrastructure And Place Identity Attributes To Enhance The Sense Of Place - Case Study Of Central Park, Madinaty, New Cairo City, Egypt, Ibrahim Magdi Mohammed, Rehab Abdelfatah Abdel Aziz Mahmoud

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This research develops an integrated model that links the social benefit requirements of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) with the non-physical attributes of Place Identity (PI) to enhance the Sense of Place (SOP) in contemporary urban environments. The need for this integration arises from limitations in current planning frameworks, which often prioritize ecological performance while overlooking cultural, perceptual, and behavioral dimensions that shape user attachment and belonging. The study adopts an inductive and synthesis-based approach to identify key UGI indicators across environmental, social, economic, and spatial dimensions, alongside PI attributes related to places’ legibility, uniqueness, publicness and territoriality, place’s identification. To …
