Exploring the role of renewable energy communities in the Italian flexibility markets

The increasing penetration of distributed generation, mainly from variable and scarcely predictable renewable energy sources, requires new forms of system flexibility. Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) can contribute by aggregating demand-side flexibility and participating in a...

Italian Fluvial Sediment Transport Database: a comprehensive hub for archiving and analyzing hydrological data

Fluvial sediment transport plays a key role in geomorphological and hydrological processes, influencing river morphology, watershed and coastal sediment balances, and the environmental response to climatic and anthropogenic changes. In Italy, the availability of homogeneous and l...

Foot segments motion during uneven terrain walking and influence on lower limb biomechanics

Abstract Human locomotion has been extensively studied on flat ground; however, everyday walking often occurs on uneven terrain, which poses additional biomechanical challenges. The role of foot segmental mobility under these conditions remains underexplored. This study investiga...

Ultrasound-Guided Collagen Peptides Injections Combined with Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise in Chronic Partial Common Extensor Tendon Tears at Elbow Lateral Epicondyle: A Retrospective Case Series

Background: Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is a common upper-limb musculoskeletal disorder causing pain during gripping activities, reduced work capacity, and functional limitation. LET is currently considered a predominantly degenerative condition characterized by collagen dis...

Integrated central and autonomic signatures of concentrative and analytical meditation in expert practitioners

Meditation has long been associated with improvements in mental well-being, emotional regulation, and attentional control. However, the diversity of meditative techniques and variability in participant expertise across studies have hindered the systematic identification of their...

Comparative cytoarchitectural and proteomic analysis of the primary motor cortex in pigs and wild boars reveals domestication associated changes

Background Domestication appears to modify the morphology and physiology of the central nervous system. Owing to the limited availability of proteomic and cytoarchitectural data for comparisons between wild and domesticated species, we conducted a comparative analysis of the cyto...
