Sigma receptors are a fascinating receptor protein class whose ligands are actually under clinical evaluation for the modulation of opioid analgesia and their use as positron emission tomography radiotracers. In particular, peculiar biological and th...
The highly temporal variability of the hydrological response in Mediterranean areas affects the operation of hydropower systems, especially in run-of-river (RoR) plants located in mountainous areas. Here, the water flow regime strongly determines fai...
Models constitute the primary approaches for predicting terrestrial ecosystem gross primary production (GPP) at regional and global scales. Many satellite-based GPP models have been developed due to the simple algorithms and the low requirements of m...
Gliomas are heterogeneous, solid, and intracranial tumors that originate from glial cells. Malignant cells from the tumor undergo metabolic alterations to obtain the energy required for proliferation and the invasion of the cerebral parenchyma. The a...
In the context of global population growth and energy scarcity, building energy consumption has become a critical issue with implications for the sustainable development of human society. Winter heating consumption constitutes a large portion of tota...
Mental health issues among college students is a leading public health concern, which seems to have been exacerbating during the COVID-19 pandemic. While previous estimates related to psychological burden among college students are available, quantit...
Green innovation is an important means of mitigating environmental pollution, improving production efficiency, and promoting high-quality economic development. Using prefecture-level city data and China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data from 2010 to 2...
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 remains highly uneven across countries, while the structural factors associated with this heterogeneity are still insufficiently understood. This study aims to classify 154 countries accordin...
Yamdrok Lake, a typical closed inland lake located in the southern Tibetan Plateau, is highly sensitive to climate change and human activities. Although previous studies have reported a declining lake-level trend, the mechanisms underlying the sharp...
Daily precipitation projections for tropical high-altitude stations are critical for water resource management and flood risk assessment yet remain limited in data-scarce mountain environments. This study applies a chronology-preserving quantile delt...
This paper explores the ways in which technologies reshape everyday activities, adopting a mobility perspective of the digital environment, which is reframed in terms of the constitutive/substitutive element of corporeal mobility. We propose the cons...
Exchange rate volatility has intensified in recent decades, yet its systematic implications for banking-sector stability remain contested. This study investigates whether exchange rate volatility constitutes a meaningful source of financial fragility...
We introduce a local phase-field framework for spin-entanglement correlations. In this framework, the relevant hidden variable is an internal scalar phase associated with each fermion and derived from two underlying real fields. The fields are assume...
