(BMC, 2023-02-18)Background Maternal mental health concerns and parenting stress in the first few years following childbirth are common and pose significant risks to maternal and child well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has ... -
Association between sociodemographic factors and mobility limitation among older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
(BMC, 2023-02-14)Background Mobility is an independent predictor of physical functionality, healthy ageing, and quality of life. Various literatures have associated mobility limitation in older adulthood with demographic ... -
Product Specification Analysis for Modular Product Design Using Big Sales Data
(BMC, 2023-02-13)Big data on product sales are an emerging resource for supporting modular product design to meet diversified customers’ requirements of product specification combinations. To better facilitate decision-making of modular ... -
Relative age effects on speed trials in Brazilian athletics
(BMC, 2023-02-11)Background Relative age effect (RAE) is a concept related to the possible advantage that older athletes would have over younger ones within the same category. Although many studies have approached this ... -
ABT-MPNN: an atom-bond transformer-based message-passing neural network for molecular property prediction
(BMC, 2023-02-26)Abstract Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs) have been repeatedly shown to have robust capacities for modeling graph data such as small molecules. Message-passing neural networks (MPNNs), a group of ... -
