The genetic diversity of 77 Trichoderma harzianum isolates collected from sunflower rhizosphere soils in Urmia, Khoy, and Salmas in West Azerbaijan province, Iran, was evaluated by using the Universal Rice Primer (URP) molecular marker. The DNA band...

This paper introduces a new conceptual framework for interpreting urethral retro-resistance pressure (URP) as a dynamic, intra-procedural tool—ΔURP—for evaluating external urethral sphincter (EUS) engagement during injection therapy...

Unilateral retinitis pigmentosa (URP) is a rare retinal dystrophy. We describe the clinical course of two patients with (URP) unilateral retinitis pigmentosa confirmed by genetic testing, indicating ciliary dysfunction. Methods: The methods used in t...

Isokinetic knee dynamometry evolves towards more precise techniques, such as the calculation of the functional ratio. This study evaluated the influence of an intermediate hip position called the unified reclined position (URP) compared to the classi...

Gut eubiosis is essential for the host’s health. In athletes, the gut microbiota can be altered by several factors, including diets. While eubiotic gut microbiota in elite rugby players has been reported, our survey found that university rugby player...

The outdated and discredited notion of a binary urban–rural divide remains stubbornly widely used. However, it both sets up and reflects oppositional politics and processes between the two supposedly mutually exclusive categories of space and place,...

The surface roughness, surface hardness, tensile properties and friction-wear properties were characterized, in comparison with those of the traditional turned cutting, electropulsing treatment (EP) and ultrasonic surface-rolling process (USRP) sampl...

This study examines the effects of ultrafine recycled powder (URP) obtained from construction and demolition waste on the hydration kinetics, setting behaviour, and chemical shrinkage of Portland cement pastes. The presence of ultrafine particles in...

Antimicrobial peptides are a fundamental component of mollusks’ defense systems, though they remain a thinly investigated subject. Here, infection by Vibrio parahemolyticus triggered a significant increase in antimicrobial activity in oyster plasma....

This research aims to implement green walls as thermal insulators on the east and west facades of the adjacent areas of the School of Biological Sciences at Ricardo Palma University. The growth of urban cities causes an increase in CO₂ emissions and...

South Korea has implemented several housing urban regeneration projects (URPs) and offers various tax incentives to support these efforts. However, the reality is that there is insufficient empirical evidence to determine whether these incentives hav...

Since South Korea relies on dams and agricultural reservoirs for approximately 45% of its annual agricultural water usage, the supply control of agricultural water based on its usage amount is essential for effective water resources management. The o...

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates with high sensitivity and reproducibility are highly desirable for high precision and even molecular-level detection applications. Here, large-scale uniformly hybrid nanoparticle-enhanced Raman sp...

Several previous studies have revealed a positive relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) technology development and employees’ employment, income, and job performance. If individuals can seize the opportunity to master the knowledge...

This paper presents a dataset developed to characterize the citizens’ perceptions of urban resilience applied to the Veracruz—Boca del Río Metropolitan Area (VBMA) in Mexico. The data were obtained by conducting online surveys, whi...

With urbanization slowing, the world has entered a new phase focused on stock-based development, where urban renewal plays a key role in advancing sustainable urbanization. These projects involve multiple stakeholders—governments, enterprises,...

Asian watergrass (Hygroryza aristata) is an herbaceous glabrous aquatic-rooted floating grass naturally growing in the tidally inundated coastal marshes, beels and canals. The ecology and growth performance of Asian watergrass were evaluated in the c...

Species of the ascomycetous genus Cladobotryum (Hypocreales, Hypocreaceae) are ecologically and economically important mycoparasites that cause cobweb disease in cultivated and wild mushrooms. Despite their significance as fungal pathogens and produc...

Heat stress in deep hot mines is a factor that often determines the possibility of technical mining of natural resources. One of the solutions enabling miners to work in such mines is air cooling. Cooling systems vary, and their selection depends on...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of inoculants of endophytic bacteria producing indoleacetic acid (IAA) on the physiological quality of seeds and the production of seedlings of Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) KD Hill & LAS Johnson. In the phys...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) using the All-of-Us Research Program (AoURP) dataset from a larg...

Understanding extreme precipitation (EP) evolution is crucial for global climate adaptation and hazardous disasters prevention. However, spatial non-stationarity of urbanization relationships with EP variations has been rarely discussed in a complex...

This paper offers a detailed, quantitative and exhaustive experimental comparison in terms of mechanical properties of three different layouts of carbon composite materials (CFRP) used to strengthen existing old timber beams highly affected by divers...

Scientifically measuring the quantitative coupling relationship between urban–rural construction land (URCL) and population and formulating URCL utilization countermeasures are needed for protecting cultivated land resources, intensive utilizat...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to large increases in telemedicine activity worldwide. This rapid growth, however, may have impacted the quality of care where compliance with guidelines and best practices are concerned. The aim of this study was to describ...

We analyzed the results of mobile screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR) using retinal photographs, comparing these results between rural and periurban areas, and before and after the first national COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The Burgundy Union R&e...
