More than 70% of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cases remain idiopathic, and the underlying genetic causes need to be investigated. In this study, we aimed to identify genes and variants associated with the etiology of NOA. Two NOA patients from consanguineous families, with n...

Paramagnetic defects and luminescence in praseodymium-activated alkaline earth pyrophosphates
Establishing defect-property systematics in complex materials remains an elusive challenge, requiring complementary spectroscopic techniques and correlated investigations across chemically related host lattices. This study presents a systematic overview of defect-mediated charge...

Abstract. We study a simplified nonlinear thermoelasticity model on two- and three-dimensional tori. A novel functional involving the Fisher information associated with temperature is introduced, extending the previous one-dimensional approach from the first two authors [ SIAM J....

Narrating mellowness? Political soundness of “Chinese schools” of international relations
Abstract The rise of China has sparked growing scholarly interest in its political and philosophical thought, including the “Chinese schools” of international relations (IR). With this article, we add to the scholarship by asking two questions: which of these schools are mobilise...

Abstract Shiga toxins (Stx) are key virulence factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), which are responsible for severe foodborne infections that can progress to hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). Currently, no specific antitoxin therapies are available. In this st...

Quantifying the true surface area of vegetated terrain in mountainous regions is critical for accurate environmental modelling but remains technically challenging. Steep slopes, complex canopy structures, and heterogeneous landforms distort conventional area estimates derived fro...

In the European Alps, plant species have persisted through major geological and climatic changes, leaving distinct genetic signatures of divergence. While these patterns are often attributed to Pleistocene glacial refugia, they may also reflect older, pre-Quaternary events. In mo...

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) multilayered lead halide perovskites have shown great potential for application in optoelectronics. Here, single crystals of 2D perovskite IPA2FAPb2Br7 (IPA = isopropylammonium, FA = formamidinium) were grown, and the phase transition mechanism, vibr...

ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driv...
