Controlling As, Cd, and Pb bioaccumulation in rice under different levels of alternate wetting and drying irrigation with biochar amendment: A 3-year field study.

One challenging task to produce rice that comply with the increasing demanding regulations, is to reduce, simultaneously, grain bioaccumulation of As, Cd, and Pb. A 3-year field experiment was conducted in a Mediterranean environment, to evaluate the effects on As, Cd, and Pb bioaccumulation in rice grain, of the adoption of two levels of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation conditions: moderate and intensive (reflooding at -20 kPa and -70 kPa soil matric water potential, respectively), relative to the traditional permanent flood irrigation. Plots were prepared with or without a one-time holm oak biochar application (35 Mg ha), in the first year of the study.

Screening for dysphagia in older people with dementia: Evidence of validity based on internal structure and reliability of the Caregiver Questionnaire - RaDID-QC.

Objective: To identify internal structure validity evidence of a dysphagia screening questionnaire for caregivers of older adults with Alzheimer's disease dementia and/or vascular dementia.

Methods: The 24-question Dysphagia Screening in Older Adults with Dementia - Caregiver Questionnaire (RaDID-QC) was administered by interviewing 170 caregivers of older people with dementia, selected by convenience at the Outpatient Reference Center for Older People. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to assess the internal structure validity of the questionnaire, and Cronbach's alpha was used to analyze reliability.

Match score dataset for team ball sports.

In this data article, we present a dataset containing match scores from major international competitions for 12 popular team ball sports: basketball, cricket, field hockey, futsal, handball, ice hockey, lacrosse, roller hockey, rugby, soccer, volleyball, and water polo. The dataset was obtained by web scraping data available on Wikipedia pages and includes the following information related to individual matches: the year of the competition edition when a match occurred, the names of the two opposing teams, their respective scores, and the name of the winning team. Our match score dataset provides researchers in the field of sports analytics with valuable data that can be used to compute team statistics, develop team ranking and rating systems, infer patterns and trends in a team's performance across the edition years, build predictive models to forecast the outcome of future matches, and evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms.

Follicular Fluid and Blood Monitorization of Infertility Biomarkers in Women with Endometriosis.

Infertility is recognized globally as a social disease and a growing medical condition, posing a significant challenge to modern reproductive health. Endometriosis, the third-most frequent gynecologic disorder, is one of the most common and intricate conditions that can lead to female infertility. Despite extensive research, the etiology, malignant transformation, and biological therapy of endometriosis remain unknown.
