Bots (i.e., automated software programs that perform various tasks) and fraudulent responders pose a growing and costly threat to psychological research as well as affect data integrity.

In the emission spectra, we identify two fluorescence peaks, corresponding to electronic transitions into the 2p core hole from mixed states of Al 3s and Al 3d character, both mixed with O 2p orbitals. Even if the XAS spectrum shows more than one resonance, surprisingly only one clear RIXS signal with energy loss equal to 10.

Typically, statistical hydrologic methods are used to determine e-flows at the river basin district scale; however, these often overlook water quality and critical flow-ecology relationships, i.e.

We analyzed patients with PCF AIDHmut from our institutions, treated between December 2021 and September 2024. Additionally, we conducted a systematic literature review (from January 2021 to September 2024) using PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid EMBASE to identify cases of PCF AIDHmut.

To optimize treatment and prognosis, adequate staging with the detection of distant metastases is crucial. The incidence of brain metastases in potentially resectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is as low as 3%; hence, the need for preoperative brain imaging has been a constant matter of debate, especially in stage II.
