Operational mechanisms and application advances in artificial olfactory systems.

Artificial olfactory systems represent biomimetic platforms that emulate biological olfaction for volatile compound detection and discrimination. Biological olfaction achieves efficient perception through the specific binding of volatile molecules to olfactory receptors (OR), odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), and associated chemosensory proteins, followed by neural encoding, providing a theoretical...

Global Trends and Research Hotspots in Soccer Injury Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis (1904-2025).

IMPORTANCE: Soccer is associated with a substantial global injury burden, particularly involving lower-extremity and head injuries. Despite extensive research growth, a comprehensive long-term evaluation of trends, impact, and thematic evolution in soccer injury literature has been lacking. OBJECTIVE: To systematically map the global landscape of soccer injury research from 1904 to 2025, focusing ...

Heterogeneous pathways to depressive and anxiety disorders: A cluster-based predictive study in a nationwide longitudinal cohort.

BACKGROUND: Early prediction of depressive and anxiety disorders is challenging due to substantial heterogeneity in risk pathways. Conventional machin...
