ANALYSIS OF PLANT PHENOLOGY DYNAMICS IN SPAIN FROM 1983 TO 2020 USING SATELLITE IMAGERY

This study spatially analyzes plant phenology and its variations over time in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands. To conduct the analysis, a nearly 40-year span time series (1983-2020) was generated by merging NDVI vegetation index values from satellite images sourced from NOAA-AVHRR and MODIS sensors. The phenological variables were calculated using TIMESAT 3.3, which extracted 13 phenometri

Finite-Time Dynamics of an Entanglement Engine : Current, Fluctuations and Kinetic Uncertainty Relations

Entanglement engines are autonomous quantum thermal machines designed to generate entanglement from the presence of a particle current flowing through the device. In this work, we investigate the functioning of a two-qubit entanglement engine beyond the steady-state regime. Within a master equation approach, we derive the time-dependent state, the particle current, as well as the associated curren

From giant clumps to clouds : IV. Extreme star-forming clumps on top of universal cloud scaling relations in gas-rich galaxies

The clumpy nature of gas-rich galaxies at cosmic noon raises the question of universality of the scaling relations and average properties of the star-forming structures. Using controlled simulations of disk galaxies and varying only the gas fraction, we show that the influence of the galactic environments (large-scale turbulence, tides, and shear) contributes, together with the different regime of

Venetoclax Drug Increases the Apoptosis of T and B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells by Reducing the Expression of BCL-2

Venetoclax, a specific inhibitor of the BCL2 protein, is administered for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, despite being utilized in conjunction with chemotherapy, the drug exhibits instances of resistance. The exact mechanisms responsible for this resistance remain relatively obscure. Within the context of this investigation, the study aimed to explore the involvement of an

Abundances in eight bulge stars from the optical and near-infrared

Context. The abundances of the α-elements are key for understanding the early chemical enrichment of the Galactic bulge. The elements of interest present lines in different wavelength regions, and some of them show lines only in part of the spectra. In the present work, the CNO trio, the a-elements Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti, and odd-Z Na and Al are examined as measured from optical and H-band lines. Aims

Integration of Specialized Palliative Care with Oncological Treatment in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of pancreatic cancer is around 5 in 100,000, and the 5-year survival is poor. Pancreatic cancer patients have a high disease-specific burden of symptoms, and palliative chemotherapy has varying side effects. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) suggests integrating specialized palliative care (SPC) with standard oncological treatment for pancreatic cancer pa

Constructive Dissonance in the Cloud: Adaptive Out-of-Phase Scheduling for Periodic Tasks

In the realm of cloud computing, the prevalence of intra-phase congestion due to concurrent periodic requests from a multitude of clients frequently results in heightened resource consumption, elongated queuing times, and prolonged response durations. To tackle these challenges, this paper presents a groundbreaking 'Adaptive Out-of-Phase Scheduling' technique, utilizing a server-side PID controlle

Numerical Investigation of Engine Performance and Emission Characteristics of an Ammonia/Hydrogen/n-Heptane Engine Under RCCI Operating Conditions

This paper examines the potential of using ammonia (NH 3) as a primary fuel in heavy-duty engines for decarbonization, with some challenges yet to be addressed. It presents a numerical study of a Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition engine, where pilot diesel is used to ignite the premixed ammonia/air mixture. The numerical model and combustion mechanism are validated against engine experime

Light-Induced Metastable Hidden Skyrmion Phase in the Mott Insulator Cu2OSeO3

The discovery of a novel long-lived metastable skyrmion phase in the multiferroic insulator Cu2OSeO3 visualized with Lorentz transmission electron microscopy for magnetic fields below the equilibrium skyrmion pocket is reported. This phase can be accessed by exciting the sample non-adiabatically with near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses and cannot be reached by any conventional field-cooling pro

Secondary ice production : An empirical formulation and organization of mechanisms among simulated cloud-types

Clouds are essential elements within Earth's atmosphere, posing a challenge for cloud-resolving models in understanding the creation of new cloud ice particles from existing ice and liquid phases. Such ice initiation determines cloud microphysical and radiative properties, influencing cloud phase, precipitation and cloud extent/properties. To address this challenge effectively, it proves beneficia

Fetal Aortic Isthmus and Descending Aorta

Doppler evaluation of the aortic isthmus, located between the left subclavian artery and the ductus arteriosus, can provide important information on fetal hemodynamic adaptation/deterioration related to intrauterine hypoxia. The aortic isthmus acts as a shunt deviating part of the blood flow from ductus arteriosus to the cranial circulation to maintain a normal oxygen delivery to the fetal brain.

Knowing me, knowing you : a scoping review assessing the current field of social cognition in schizophrenia

Background: Impaired social cognition (SC) occurs frequently in schizophrenia (SCZ), yet compared to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the research on SC in SCZ is sparse and methodologically heterogeneous. To accurately assess between-group SC differences it is further necessary to establish the relationship between nonsocial cognition (NSC) and SC, particularly as this may not be identical across

Amyloid formation as a protein phase transition

The formation of amyloid fibrils is a general class of protein self-assembly behaviour, which is associated with both functional biology and the development of a number of disorders, such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. In this Review, we discuss how general physical concepts from the study of phase transitions can be used to illuminate the fundamental mechanisms of amyloid self-assembly. We

On the Calculation and Simulation of Loop Gain in Feedback Circuits

We derive the expression of the loop gain in a circuit containing one or more feedback loops, where the transfer functions building the expression are found by means of a few AC analyses on the circuit. No approximations or assumptions on the nature of the loop or of the impedances therein contained are necessary. While hand calculations are certainly possible in the case of simpler circuits, the

Drug repositioning in chemoprevention of colorectal cancer

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most frequently occurring cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In response to the high demand for an effective prevention strategy, chemoprevention, using medications to block the pathogenetic pathways of disease, might be an attractive strategy to offer a more effective option at a low cost. Therefore, we aime
