Integrated design and thermo-mechanical assessment of a hydrogen-fueled microscale combustion system for micro gas turbines

Achieving Net Zero energy targets requires the development of efficient hydrogen-fueled power generation technologies for applications where electrification remains technically or economically challenging. Hydrogen offers a carbon-free energy carrier with a wide flammability rang...

Provenance and competence for CHIKV and DENV of Aedes albopictus populations

Aedes albopictus is one of the world’s most hazardous invasive species, increasingly implicated in the autochthonous transmission of Chikungunya (CHIKV) and Dengue (DENV) viruses in newly colonized areas. Since invading the Mediterranean Basin several in the early 1980s, recurren...

Comparative analysis between optical see-through and video see-through technologies: usability and accuracy assessment of two head-mounted displays for cranio-maxillofacial surgery

Abstract In recent years, Mixed Reality (MR) technologies in surgery have attracted growing interest. To assess the usability and accuracy of MR in surgery, it is essential to compare the devices available on the market. However, in the literature, no studies compare optical see-...

The rising burden of scabies in Italy: insights from a nationwide survey of dermatologists

BACKGROUND: Scabies is an increasingly relevant dermatological and public health issue, with rising case burdens reported in several European countries. OBJECTIVES: To assess Italian dermatologists' perceptions of recent scabies trends and current approaches to diagnosis, treatme...

Adaptive Structural Productivity Modeling and Analytics for Software Projects

Productivity evaluation in industrial software projects is still predominantly based on aggregate Function Point-to-effort ratios. Such an approach overlooks the internal structural and functional heterogeneity of software projects, potentially leading to misleading comparisons b...

Scrolling away from our insecurity. The mediating role of affective job satisfaction in the relationship between job insecurity and cyberloafing

Cyberloafing, namely the use of the Internet during working hours for personal purposes, has gained increasing popularity in literature; however, the underlying job stressors and processes driving its occurrence remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on the Conservation of Res...

Trophic downgrading in the city: urban structural simplification erodes the snake component of reptile assemblages

Abstract Urbanization is widely recognized as a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet its effects on the trophic structure of reptile communities remain poorly understood. This study re-analysed reptile presence–absence data from urban green-space fragments in Rome, Italy, to ex...

Co-Colonization by Multiple Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in a Long-Term Neurorehabilitation Setting: A Case Report

Neurorehabilitation units (NRUs) are long-term care settings associated with multiple risk factors for carriage and infection by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), including prolonged hospitalization, the use of invasive medical devices, high antibiotic exposure, and multiple...
