The digital transformation of agrifood systems demands an integrated infrastructure to ensure traceability, trust, and intelligent decision-making across complex and heterogeneous value chains. METROFOOD-IT, a large-scale national research infrastruc...

The ability to generate and sustain high punch intensity is a key determinant of boxing performance. However, the relationship between mechanical output and physiological responses during intermittent high-intensity efforts remains insufficiently und...

Fine-paste earthenware held symbolic significance in Hindu and Buddhist rituals and domestic use in Southeast Asia. Despite the influx of Chinese glazed ceramics from the ninth century onward, these locally produced vessels continued to circulate wid...

Youth soccer performance is influenced by multiple factors, including age, body size, and physical capacities, but the relative contribution of these variables to aerobic and explosive performance remains unclear. Understanding these relationships ca...

Paralympic Powerlifting is a maximal strength sport that requires high training intensity and efficient recovery to maintain performance and prevent injury. Intense training can induce oxidative stress, potentially compromising performance and physio...

TiO₂/activated carbon (TiO₂/AC) was coated on mesh using the dip-coating method employing polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a copolymer via a simple mixing method. The obtained catalyst was used to treat real wastewater from a building discharge with a...

Lithium carbonate is a cornerstone therapy for bipolar disorder, typically administered long-term, which necessitates strict control of elemental impurities beyond the quantification of the active ingredient. While previous studies focused on lithium...

A stable gut microbial community (SGMC) created by the culture of fecal samples in a chemostat-based gut model is a physiologically relevant, reproducible tool for ecological research on the gut microbiome. It is also a subject of continuous improvem...

A controlled composting biodegradation system was implemented to evaluate a wood–plastic composite (WPC) composed of wood fibers and recycled HDPE (rHDPE), in accordance with ASTM D5338, by measuring CO₂ capture over 45 days. This evaluation wa...

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites incorporating synthetic reinforcements such as glass and carbon fibres are widely used due to their superior mechanical performance. However, their energy-intensive production and end-of-life disposal contribute to...

The article presents the results of experimental studies on the possibility of predicting the efficiency of CO₂ mineralization using metallurgical wastes (MWs) from the perspective of chemical thermodynamics and on identifying, accordingly, promising...

Resistance training (RT) can help with injury recovery and the healing process. Still, high-intensity exercise can cause ischemia and reperfusion, resulting in exacerbated production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. This study aimed t...

The tumor microenvironment of breast cancer presents high complexity and resistance to conventional therapies. Ferroptosis, a programed cell death that is dependent on iron and characterized by lipid peroxidation, arises as a promising therapeutic go...

Background: Predicting rehabilitation outcomes at admission supports tailored therapy plans and efficient use of resources for patients undergoing intensive inpatient rehabilitation, including those with stroke, orthopedic, and other neurological con...

Mechanical components subjected to dynamic loading require materials that combine adequate strength with effective vibration-damping capability. Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is a promising candidate for such applications because of its ausferritic...

Background: This study evaluated the effects of combined exercise (CE) alone and CE combined with Nigella sativa (NS) supplementation on musculoskeletal performance and blood fructosamine levels in male patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)....

This study evaluates the technical feasibility of an autonomous photovoltaic pumping system for agricultural use in isolated communities, using a representative region of the Mixteca Poblana, Mexico, as a case study. A reference sizing methodology re...

Critical-sized bone defects remain a major reconstructive challenge, and the Masquelet technique has become an important option in traumatic, infectious, and post-resection settings. This review examines the role of acrylic bone cement in this techni...

Computational research is becoming increasingly dependent on code, data, workflows, software environments and model configurations that must be preserved and understood before findings can be reproduced. The FAIR Guiding Principles have significantly...

This study investigated the macro- and microelement profiles and bioactive substances (BAS) in the herbaceous species of the genus Rheum collected from two villages near Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in wild plants of...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a central driver of transformation in innovation management, reshaping how organizations design strategies, develop offerings, and generate knowledge. This study examines how innovation management has evolved f...

A porcine model with a stabilized segmental femoral defect was used, in which commercial or experimental bone cements were implanted following the principles of the Masquelet technique. After 45 days, considered long enough for induced membrane matur...

The Garisenda Tower, along with the neighboring Asinelli Tower, is arguably the symbol of the city of Bologna. They are the sole remnants of about one hundred towers that formed the city’s skyline in medieval times. As such, the monitoring of t...
