The decline in fertility in aging women, especially those with poor ovarian response (POR) or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), is a major concern for modern IVF centers. Fertility treatments have traditionally relied on gonadotropin- and steroid-...
Spatially explicit crop yield information is needed for regional environmental modeling, sustainability assessment, and agricultural decision support, yet official yield statistics are commonly reported only at aggregated administrative scales. This...
This study was conducted to identify the crop management options—the combinations of various cultivars, irrigation amounts, planting dates, and soils—that would maximize the energy sustainability and eco-friendliness of maize (Zea mays L.) stover-bas...
In this work, we investigated the effects of heat treatment on the microstructure, hydrogen storage characteristics and corrosion rate of a Ti34V40Cr24Fe2 alloy. The arc melted alloy was divided into three samples, two of which were separately quartz...
Diversified crop rotations and cover crops are increasingly promoted as climate-smart management strategies for improving soil organic carbon (SOC) while minimizing nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in semiarid agroecosystems. However, regional-scale ass...
A properly functioning peritoneal catheter is an essential element of effective peritoneal dialysis (PD). Currently, there are three techniques available for PD catheter placement, which include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and percutaneous ca...
