A comparative study was carried out of the structure and reflection performance of four types of multilayer mirror for extreme ultraviolet lithography at 11.2 nm; these were a pure Mo/Be structure and three Mo/Be-based structures with thin BC, C and Si interlayers. It was demonstrated that Mo/Be mirrors show maximum reflectance at normal incidence, while maximum structural perfection is shown by Mo/Be/Si mirrors. The introduction of BC and C layers into the structure increases the interlayer roughness and reduces the sharpness of the interfaces, adversely affecting the target coating characteristics. Results are presented for studies using four techniques: X-ray reflectometry, small-angle X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Background And Aims: In recent years, In Vitro fertilization (IVF) science has grown by leaps and bounds in the field of assisted reproduction, helping millions of couples worldwide. The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which infertile women are willing to pay for IVF services in Greece.
Methods: Through the distribution of questionnaires, willingness to pay (WTP) is recorded according to IVF success rates, and the relationship between WTP and the respondents' demographic characteristics is analyzed.

Background: Patients who incur an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR) have the intention of returning to sports at their pre-injury level; however, many do not return to the pre-injury level. This study aims to investigate the common factors that hinder patients from resuming sports activities following ACLR and to assess how these barriers impact their ability to return to sports. We hypothesized that patients' psychological factors, including fear of reinjury, would significantly influence their decision to return to sport after ACL reconstruction.

Legume proteins have recently gained significant interest in the food industry for their eco-friendliness and nutritional qualities. Research shows that the replacement of specific animal protein sources with legume proteins presents sustainability and economic benefit. Nonetheless, legume proteins frequently exhibit inferior functional properties and palatability compared to animal proteins.

Tetanus is a rare but life-threatening neurological disorder caused by neurotoxins produced by . Although mortality rates have significantly decreased with modern intensive care, severe cases remain challenging due to prolonged Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stays, complications, and rehabilitation barriers. We report the case of an 81-year-old male with a history of hypertension and femoral neck fracture who developed severe tetanus following a contaminated forehead laceration.
