Construction and characterisation of the DarkSide-20k veto silicon photo-multiplier tiles
Abstract Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art sensors capable of detecting a single photoelectron under cryogenic conditions, with potentially lower radioactivity than widely used photomultiplier tubes. The DarkSide-20k experiment, designed to perform direct dar...

Abstract Background Genetic load, defined as the burden of deleterious variants carried by a population, has two components: a realized one that is expressed as reduced fitness, and a hidden one that is masked in heterozygotes. The hidden component, arising from recessive (or par...

A stabilized finite element method for a Morpho-Visco-Poroelastic Model
Studying the structure of soft tissues is important and relevant in biology, particularly in some diseases, such as tumor growth and dermal contraction after burn injury. Based on the complicated characteristics of the tissue and for the sake of a better understanding of the unde...

Nonlinear viscoelastic effects of fascia: experimental findings and constitutive modelling
This study provides a comprehensive biomechanical characterization of the fascia lata, integrating systematic stress-relaxation protocols and, for the first time, dynamic mechanical analysis to resolve its complex dissipative mechanisms. Experimental tests were conducted along bo...

Diastereoselective Axial-to-Chelate-Puckering Chirality Transfer in cis -[PtCl2(DABN)] Complexes
Abstract Axially chiral 1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diamine (DABN) was used to control chelate-ring puckering in cis-[PtCl2(DABN)] complexes. Coordination of Ra- or Sa-DABN affords the enantiomeric complexes cis-λ-[PtCl2(Ra-DABN)] (λ,Ra-1) and cis-δ-[PtCl2(Sa-DABN)] (δ,Sa-1), respect...

From Trials to Treatment: Current Evidence Supporting Faricimab Use in nAMD and DME
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are leading causes of visual impairment and require long-term intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. However, treatment burden and suboptimal real-world outcomes rem...

The role of density distribution in dynamics around irregular asteroids
Abstract In recent years, asteroids have become increasingly important targets in space exploration. In this work, we study the effects of variable internal density on orbital dynamics around asteroids using a synthetic model consisting of a straight segment with a variable densi...

When one protocol fits none: Self-organized network routing through evolutionary game dynamics
Packet routing on scale-free networks faces a fundamental trade-off: shortest-path routing is efficient at low demand but funnels traffic through hubs and jams early, whereas congestion-aware routing postpones jamming at the price of a sharper collapse. Since neither paradigm dom...

METIS: A Heuristic Sociological Environment for Interpretive Qualitative Analysis
METIS is a heuristic sociological environment for the interpretive analysis of qualitative corpora. It is designed as an epistemic accompaniment device for qualitative social research, especially in the study of gender, inequalities, affects, identities and relational configurati...
