The Effects of Behavioral Sleep Extension on Cognitive-Affective Functions in Habitual Short-Sleeping Young Adults: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial in Hong Kong designed to evaluate whether a personalized, theory-driven sleep extension intervention, delivered via motivational interviewing to habitual short-sleeping young adults, effectively improves sleep duration and cognitive-affective functioning compared to standard sleep hygiene education alone.

Early-Onset Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction After Abdominoperineal Resection for Rectal Cancer: Impact of Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy

This retrospective study suggests that preoperative chemoradiotherapy is associated with a higher incidence of early-onset, treatment-resistant adhesive small bowel obstruction following abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer, likely due to severe pelvic adhesions.

Laser power density driven residual stress and surface quality of AA7075 alloy under laser shock peening

This study investigates the impact of laser power density and overlap strategies on the residual stress and surface quality of AA7075 alloy under Laser Shock Peening, revealing that cumulative strain from optimal pulse overlaps, rather than peak shock pressure alone, is the primary determinant for maximizing compressive residual stress while avoiding surface damage.

Wind tunnel Model and EPS Design for a BLI Aircraft Configuration Based On NumericInvestigations

This paper presents the design and optimization of a down-scaled wind tunnel model featuring a novel electrically powered simulator (EPS) for an aft-mounted Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) aircraft configuration, which achieves an 80% isentropic efficiency and provides a reliable platform for validating numerical predictions of complex airframe-propulsion interactions.
