The MADIA gridded dataset provides the dekadal series of the main agro-meteorological variables derived from ERA5 hourly surface data, across Italy for the period 1981-2021, and their respective 1981-2010 and 1991-2020 climate normals, also including absolute minimum and maximum and the main quantiles. Temporal and spatial resolutions are 10-day and 0.25 degrees respectively and the dataset is annotated with standard metadata. The dataset was obtained by: (1) estimating the daily time series of minimum, average and maximum air temperature, minimum and maximum air relative humidity, wind speed, surface solar radiation downwards, precipitation and reference evapotranspiration according to the FAO Penman-Monteith method; (2) summarising them to 10-day series as accumulated values for precipitation and evapotranspiration and mean values for the other variables. The MADIA dataset is provided in both NetCDF and csv format. A complementary vector file is provided which reports for every cell the fractions covered of the total area of each administrative unit considered to derive statistics for Italy on the European Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics levels (NUTS 2 and 3). Other potential dataset reuses are the estimation of bioclimatic indices and statistical downscaling of climate scenarios.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the practicality and optimal approach for inserting an anterior occipital condyle screw, as well as to measure the screw placement characteristics.MethodsA total of 80 normal head and cervical spine computed tomography scans (40 males/40 females) were used to construct three-dimensional models. The average age of the participants was 45.

In distribution grids, excessive energy losses not only increase operational costs but also contribute to a larger environmental footprint due to inefficient resource utilization. Ensuring optimal placement of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency and reliability in power distribution networks. This research introduces the Pelican Optimizer (PO) algorithm to optimally integrate solar PV systems to radial electrical distribution grids.

Imagery from Landsat 8/9 (L89) and Sentinel-2 A/B (S2) was employed to monitor the velocity migration of Sargassum aggregations. The displacement characteristics of these aggregations offer insights that can inform the formulation of preventive strategies and the planning of harvesting operations for the floating biomass. Images L89 and S2 are sometimes acquired the same day and a few minutes apart.

Defect chemistry is the classical approach to evaluate point-defect concentrations in solids depending on the chemical activity of the ( - 1) of constituents by evaluating the mass action laws of a number of defect reactions conserving species, lattice sites, and charge. In an alternative approach, formation energies of individual defects can be calculated to determine the dependence on the Fermi level and on the chemical potentials of the reservoirs. This contribution provides the quantitative relationship between the two approaches, offering the opportunity to compare calculated defect formation energies with experimentally determined quantities.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to differentiate reactive lymphadenitis from nodal lymphoma of the head and neck.
Material And Methods: This study included 138 patients with histopathologically confirmed cervical lymphadenopathy, including 35 patients with reactive lymphadenitis and 103 patients with nodal lymphoma, who had neck MRI ( = 63) and/or F-FDG-PET/CT ( = 123) before biopsy. The quantitative and qualitative MRI results and maximum standardised uptake value (SUV) were retrospectively analysed and compared between the 2 pathologies.
