Ammonia electrosynthesis through the lithium-mediated approach has recently reached promising results towards high activity and selectivity in aprotic media, reaching high Faradaic efficiency (FE) values and NH3 production rates. To fasten the comprehension and optimization of the complex lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction system, for the first time a multivariate approach is proposed as a powerful tool to reduce the number of experiments in comparison with the classical one-factor-at-a-time approach. Doehlert design and surface response methodology are employed to optimize the electrolyte composition for a batch autoclaved cell.

- The study evaluates cancer incidence trends from 2008-2017 in Italy among individuals aged 20-49, utilizing data from 20 cancer registries that cover about one-third of the population.
- Results show that cancer rates were nearly double for women compared to men, particularly due to breast and thyroid cancers, with significant variations in incidence trends across different cancer types.
- The findings indicate no consistent increase for early-onset cancers in Italy, with rising rates for some cancers offset by declines in others, underscoring the need for preventive measures and careful screening strategies.
Article Synopsis
- Five-year survival rates for vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) patients in Italy haven't improved over the past 30 years, which raises concerns about treatment effectiveness.
- A study of cancer registries found that in 2018, about 6,620 women in Italy were living with VSCC, but only 32% of newly diagnosed patients are considered curable, with many facing high mortality rates even after five years.
- The results highlight a critical need to revamp the vulvar care approach in Italy to better address the ongoing challenges in managing VSCC.
Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic had impacted the reporting of notifiable communicable diseases. Since the beginning of the pandemic and the introduction of relate public health measures, notifications for most notifiable diseases have declined compared to previous years. In this study, we aim to quantify the changes in the incidences of notifiable infectious diseases during and after the pandemic in Siracusa Local Health Authority, Italy.

The goal is to model overtaking duration, identify the factors influencing it, and determine the likelihood of a rider overtaking a vehicle while maintaining critical lateral clearance. Riding data were collected using a passenger car equipped with cameras and a GPS device, which recorded videos of motorcyclists performing maneuvers to overtake it.
