Vineyard management and winemaking leave behind large residue streams that are still rarely used as fermentation feedstocks. This review considers how pomace, skins, seeds, stems, canes, pruning wood, leaves and wine lees can be directed toward microbial bioconversion, fermentati...

Seasonal climatic variability represents a major constraint on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production in semi-arid environments, yet interannual and cultivar-related variation under long-term no-till management remains insufficiently characterized. This study evaluated inter...

Tetanus is an infrequent, potentially fatal neurological disease in dogs, caused by tetanospasmin, the neurotoxin of Clostridium tetani, which reaches the central nervous system by retrograde axonal transport and blocks the release of the inhibitory neurotransmitters glycine and...

Adrenocortical Carcinoma: An Exceptional Survival Span Across a Tailored Management
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) represents a very rare (an incidence of 1–2 cases per million) and aggressive malignancy (an overall 5-year survival of 15%). Less than 15–20% of cases involve a single metastatic disease. In this presentation, we documented a most exceptional survi...

The Pontic shad (Alosa immaculata), an ecologically and commercially important anadromous species of the Danube–Black Sea basin, undergoes spawning migration under variable hydroclimatic conditions. This study assessed the evolution of body condition during spawning migration in...

Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis can cause persistent alterations in gut microbial composition and fermentative metabolism, yet the long-term role of mushroom β-glucan-based prebiotics in supporting post-antibiotic microbiota modulation remains poorly defined. To address this gap, th...

Toward an Intelligibility–Efficacy Framework: Psychological Timelessness and Existential Anxiety
Human beings appear uniquely capable of experiencing time psychologically rather than merely biologically. But the same cognitive capacities that permit long-term planning, autobiographical continuity, symbolic culture, and anticipation also expose the individual to chronic regre...

Urban rainwater is an increasingly important alternative water resource, but its suitability for harvesting and reuse depends on a water quality that varies strongly with local emissions and season—a variability not previously characterised for Bucharest, the Romanian capital. Th...

This study investigates the efficiency of green corrosion inhibitors derived from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) for OL 37 carbon steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M HCl environments. The aqueous extracts, labeled K1 and K2, were obtained through specialized extraction techniques and chara...

Among the native flora of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve in Romania, there are two beautiful aquatic flowering plants, the Yellow Flag Iris ( Iris pseudacorus ) and the White Waterlily (Nymphaea alba ), which are part of the Iris and Nymphaea species, respectively. These two...

The Architecture of the Human Moral Subject: Rethinking Personhood, Organismhood, and Human Rights
Contemporary debates concerning abortion, euthanasia, disorders of consciousness, and emerging biotechnologies frequently depend upon the concept of personhood. Yet personhood performs multiple philosophical functions simultaneously: it identifies the subject of psychological exp...
