Exercise Training and Circulating Small Extracellular Vesicles: Appraisal of Methodological Approaches and Current Knowledge

In response to acute exercise, an array of metabolites, nucleic acids, and proteins are enriched in circulation. Collectively termed “exercise factors,” these molecules represent a topical area of research given their speculated contributio...

Beyond Lymphocytic Inflammation: Immune Architecture as a Determinant of Renal Outcomes

Computational Adaptive Optics for HAR Hybrid Trench Array Topography Measurement by Utilizing Coherence Scanning Interferometry

High aspect ratio (HAR) sample-induced aberrations seriously affect the topography measurement for the bottom of the microstructure by coherence scanning interferometry (CSI). Previous research proposed an aberration compensating method usi...

High-Q microresonators on 4H-silicon-carbide-on-insulator platform for nonlinear photonics

Abstract The realization of high-quality (Q) resonators regardless of the underpinning material platforms has been a ceaseless pursuit, because the high-Q resonators provide an extreme environment for confining light to enable observations ...

Explaining the Competitive Advantage of Enterprise Resource Planning Adoption: Insights Egyptian Higher Education Institutions

Organizations nowadays focus on, not implementing ERP systems, but also leveraging ERP systems as part of their digital strategy. They holistically address people, processes, and technology for a digital transformation. Meanwhile, higher ed...

Assessment of hazard recognition performance of thermal power plant workers: A case study of a combined cycle power plant

Hazard recognition is a vital skill every thermal power plant worker needs to possess to enhance workplace accident prevention. Facilities and materials used in thermal power plants expose the workers to significant hazards. While some prio...

159 Community Engagement (CE) Brokers: Diversity and the Science of CE

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Since 2013, managers of community engagement (CE) programs across the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) consortium funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) have convened mont...

The Threefold Role of the University in Fostering the Energy Transition: The Case of Bologna and Its Cesena Campus

As acceleration toward the transition to a carbon-neutral energy production becomes an urgent imperative, universities are called to play a multifaceted role: to produce knowledge and cutting-edge research for the pursuit of energy transiti...

Turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat over land in the High-Arctic summer: the influence of observation techniques

Different observation techniques for atmospheric turbulent fluxes of momentum and sensible heat were tested in a High-Arctic valley in Svalbard during two consecutive summers (June–August in 2010 and 2011). The gradient method (GM) and the ...

Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de profesionales de la nutrición y dietética sobre el papel del yogur en la alimentación saludable y sostenible: un estudio transversal

Introduction: Perceptions and practices of healthcare professionals regarding the nutritional and dietary value of yogurt can play a crucial role in developing effective strategies to promote healthier and more sustainable dietary patterns....

Growth Failure in Children with Congenital Heart Disease

Background/Objectives: Growth failure is a common complication in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), yet its underlying mechanisms and consequences remain incompletely understood. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overv...

Engaging Nurses in Effective Cost of Care Conversations to Address Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity: Results from an Exploratory Survey

Few evidence-based trainings exist on how to equip healthcare providers, particularly nurses, with the skills to engage in cost of care conversations with patients/caregivers to mitigate the impact of cancer-related financial toxicity. This...

Experimental Evaluation of Simulation Abstractions for Wireless Sensor Network MAC Protocols

The evaluation of MAC protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is often performed through simulation. These simulations necessarily abstract away from reality in many ways. However, the impact of these abstractions on the results of th...

Sustainable re-use of waste glass, cement and lime treated dredged material as pavement material

The amount of waste materials such as dredged materials (DM) and waste glass (WG) have been growing exponentially since the middle of the 20th century. The most important problem created by them is the lack of space to be used for storage b...

A Novel Partitioning Approach in Active Distribution Networks for Voltage Sag Mitigation

The growing emphasis on power quality has posed significant challenges for distribution system operators (DSOs). Among these challenges, short-term voltage fluctuations, specifically voltage sag, have drawn considerable attention. In this s...

Elements Nuclear Engineering

Nuclear Engineering

Human beings have engaged in some form of “materials engineering” since the beginning of life on Earth. We have even named eras after the materials that were predominantly used in those historic times (e.g., Stone Age, Bronze Age). However,...

Lab-scale coin-cell supercapattery assembled with nickel cobaltite/rGO nanocomposite electrodes for hybrid energy storage

Hybrid energy storage devices that bridge the gap between batteries and supercapacitors are critical for next-generation portable and high-power applications. In this work, a lab-scale coin cell asymmetric supercapattery device is fabricate...
