Prior work [e.g., McInerny (1992). Noise Control Eng. J. 38(1), 5-16; McInerny (1996). J. Aircraft 33(3), 511-517; Franken (1958). Noise Control 4(3), 8-16] has resulted in models for estimating overall sound power levels (OAPWLs) and maximum overall sound pressure levels (OASPLmax) from jet and rocket engines. Based on fundamental flow properties, this paper builds on previous results and presents simple methods for predicting OAPWL and OASPLmax from heated supersonic jets and rockets. A method for estimating ground effects on OASPLmax is also presented. The model's performance is evaluated for launched Atlas V and Vulcan Centaur rockets and an installed F404 jet engine at engine conditions ranging from 38% thrust through afterburner. The results show good agreement for OASPLmax, where the root mean square error is confined to less than 2 dB for the rockets and jet engine conditions considered.

Objectives: The risk of major venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with COVID-19 is high but varies with disease severity. Estimate the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19, validate the Wells score for DVT diagnosis, and determine patients' prognosis.
Methods: This was an observational follow-up study in the context of the diagnosis and prognosis of DVT.

Background: Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) affects 30% to 50% of stroke survivors, severely impacting functional outcomes and quality of life. This study uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess task-evoked brain activation and its potential for stratifying the severity in patients with PSCI.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nanchong Central Hospital between June 2023 and April 2024.

Introduction: A no-biopsy approach has been suggested for diagnosing coeliac disease (CD) in adult patients. This approach is already well established in diagnosing children with CD. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (IgA anti-tTG) in predicting duodenal mucosal lesions diagnostic of CD in adult patients.

Chlorinated hydrocarbons are widely used as solvents and synthetic intermediates, but their chemical persistence can cause hazardous environmental accumulation. Haloalkane dehalogenase from (DhlA) is a bacterial enzyme that naturally converts toxic chloroalkanes into less harmful alcohols. Using a multiscale approach based on the empirical valence bond method, we investigate the catalytic mechanism of 1,2-dichloroethane dehalogenation within DhlA and its mutants.

Fissure sealant therapy (FST) is an effective preventive measure, yet parental acceptance remains low. This study aimed to identify predictors of parental FST behavior for children aged 6-12 years in Bandar Abbas, Iran, using the health belief model (HBM).
