Background: Variable responses to the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) vaccine have recently been reported as strongly dependent on genetic causes. Yet, the details on such mechanisms of action are still unknown. In parallel, altered DNA methylation states have been uncovered as important contributors to a… |

Despite a long record of intense effort, the basic mechanisms by which dissipation emerges from the microscopic dynamics of a relativistic fluid still elude complete understanding. In particular, several details must still be finalized in the pathway from kinetic theory to hydrodynamics mainly in… |

Stationary axisymmetric spacetimes containing a pair of oppositely
rotating periodically intersecting circular geodesics allow us to study
the various so-called 'clock effects' by comparing either observer or
geodesic proper time periods of orbital circuits defined by the observer
or the… |

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric illness that is often associated with potentially life -threatening physiological changes and increased risk for suicidal behavior. Electroencephalography (EEG) research suggests an association between depression and specific frequency… |

As discussed in the recent literature, several innovative car insurance concepts are proposed in order to gain advantages both for insurance companies and for drivers. In this context, the "pay-how-you-drive" paradigm is emerging, but it is not thoroughly discussed and much less implemented. In… |

Preservation of the angle of reflection when an internal gravity wave hits a sloping boundary generates a focusing mechanism if the angle between the direction of propagation of the incident wave and the horizontal is close to the slope inclination (near-critical reflection). This paper provides an… |

In this work, we study the capability of the ground surface to generate Persistent Scatterers (PS) based on the lithology, slope and aspect angles. These properties affect the scattering behavior of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal, the interferometric phase stability and, as a consequence… |
