Macroscopic fluctuation theory from a Lagrangian viewpoint and the Schrödinger problem

We formulate the Schrödinger problem for interacting particle systems in the hydrodynamical regime thus extending the standard setting of independent particles. This involves the large deviations rate function for the empirical measure which is in fact a richer observable than th...

Regime-Dependent Effectiveness of Spectral Nudging in WRF–Chem: Meteorological and Saharan Dust Skill over the Central Mediterranean

Regional WRF–Chem dust simulations may require continuous integrations when state continuity is scientifically important, yet extended limited-area runs can depart dynamically from the driving analysis. We use a two-tier controlled design that separates dynamical attribution from...

Multiscale Method for Estimating the Thermal Properties of Sandwich Materials Using Infrared Thermography

Characterizing the thermal properties of sandwich materials remains complex because it demands a method that can independently analyze both the thin and thick layers within the same sample. We propose combining flash and step thermography methods with analytical modeling based on...

Preliminary evidence of long‐term safety and effectiveness of anti‐ CGRP drugs for migraine prevention in people with comorbid epilepsy: A 52‐week follow‐up retrospective study

Abstract Migraine and epilepsy frequently coexist, but evidence on the safety of calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP)‐targeting therapies in people with epilepsy is lacking. We evaluated long‐term migraine and epilepsy outcomes in a real‐world multicenter retrospective cohort o...

Transarterial embolization in inflammatory arthritis: will rheumatology shape the debate or inherit it?

Abstract The expanding use of transarterial embolization for musculoskeletal pain, most commonly operationalized as genicular artery embolization in osteoarthritis, raises a broader question that rheumatology has not yet systematically addressed: might a vessel-targeted, image-gu...

Platinum Group Metal Recovery from End-of-Life Ammonia Oxidation Catalysts in Oxidative Chloride Media

Platinum group metals (PGMs) are critical raw materials, and their sustainable recovery from secondary sources supports supply security and a circular economy. End-of-life ammonia oxidation catalysts are considered attractive feedstocks due to their high PGM content. A systematic...

The Società di linguistica italiana (SLI)

The Società di Linguistica Italiana – SLI is the oldest linguistic society in Italy; it was founded in 1967, thanks to the cooperation between Robert A Hall Jr. and a few other American linguists and some Italian linguists and language teachers, above all Tullio De Mauro. SLI’s m...

Persistent Post-Burn Pruritus Following Antihistamine Initiation: A Retrospective Longitudinal Study at a Single Italian Pediatric Burn Center

Background/Objectives: An operationally defined unchanged itch-score sequence may indicate persistent symptoms rather than symptom resolution. We described pruritus following antihistamine initiation in children with burns and examined how its apparent stabilization depended on t...

Does sleep matter for recovery after stroke? Functional severity shapes the association between sleep and functional outcome during inpatient stroke rehabilitation

Abstract Background Sleep disturbances are common after stroke and have been associated with rehabilitation outcomes. The clinical meaning of post-stroke sleep duration remains unclear, as longer sleep may be associated with different clinical and functional states, including gre...

Automated SSIM regression for detection and quantification of motion artefacts in brain MR images

Abstract Motion artefacts in magnetic resonance brain images can have a strong impact on diagnostic confidence. The assessment of MR image quality is fundamental before proceeding with the clinical diagnosis. Motion artefacts can alter the delineation of structures such as the br...

Abnormal neurovascular coupling in the precuneus–posterior cingulate cortex may bridge simple and complex aura phenomena in the migraine brain

Migraine aura is a heterogeneous phenomenon in which visual symptoms predominate, while a substantial proportion of patients also experience somatosensory and, more rarely, dysphasic or motor manifestations. While neurovascular coupling (NVC) abnormalities within the visual corti...

Migraine in Real-World Clinical Practice: Patient Burden, Healthcare Utilization and Unmet Needs—A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the I-GRAINE Study

What are the main findings?Migraine care in Italy is characterized by a mismatch between healthcare resource utilization and clinical needs, with limited primary-care involvement, repeated specialist consultations, and healthcare nomadism.Healthcare resource utilization is substa...

Probing dark matter interactions with a RES–NOVA prototype cryogenic detector

Abstract We report on the operation of a 13 g PbWO $$_4$$ 4 crystal, grown from archaeological Pb and operated as a cryogenic calorimeter in an underground environment. Read out with a Ge thermistor, the detector achieves a low energy threshold and, for the first time, enables th...

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...

Fault‐Tolerant Mutual‐Visibility: Complexity and Solutions for Grid‐Like Networks

ABSTRACT Networks are often modeled using graphs, and within this setting we introduce the notion of ‐fault‐tolerant mutual visibility. Informally, a set of vertices in a graph is a ‐fault‐tolerant mutual‐visibility set (‐ftmv set) if any two non‐adjacent vertices in are connecte...

Quantum thermalization beyond non-integrability and quantum scars in a multispecies Bose-Josephson junction

The modern framework for quantum thermalization is grounded in the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), in which non-integrability and chaos are historically assumed as prerequisites. This work investigates this relationship in a three-species Bose-Josephson Junction (BJJ)...

Regularity in Linear Degenerations of Flag Variety

Abstract In this article we investigate the regularity properties of linear degenerations of flag varieties. We classify the linear degenerations of (partial) flag varieties that are smooth. Furthermore, we study the singular locus of irreducible degenerations and provide estimat...

Residue-Level Energetic Analysis of Transient Misfolding in the Whirlin PDZ Tandem Reveals a Possible Connection to an AlphaFold-Predicted Alternative Topology

Multidomain proteins may populate transient misfolded states that compete with productive folding, but the molecular determinants of these intermediates remain poorly understood. Using the tandem PDZ domains of the scaffolding protein whirlin, in which a misfolded intermediate ac...

Developing a Federated, Lightweight, Interpretable, and Specialized AI-Based Intrusion Detection System for Medical Internet of Things (IoMT) Environments

The rapid expansion of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has enhanced healthcare services, but it has also exposed these systems to a growing range of cyberattacks. Addressing this challenge requires effective intrusion detection solutions. Machine learning-based intrusion de...

Surface Termination Unlocks Photocatalytic Potential: Reshaping Structure and Electronics in Ultrathin MoS 2 /TiO 2 Heterojunctions

Anatase TiO 2 stands out for its exceptional chemical stability, nontoxicity, and robust photocatalytic capabilities; however, its intrinsically wide bandgap severely restricts its activity to the ultraviolet spectrum, limiting practical efficiency under solar illumination. To ci...
