Background: The global COVID-19 pandemic has prompted an urgent search for effective interventions.SARS-CoV-2 mortality/morbidity risk increases with age and for those chronic disease co-morbidities, both of which are associated with lower zinc status, as is the risk of infection.Methods: Rapid review methods will be applied to a systematic review

The small amount of data regarding the antifungal activity of Dittrichia viscosa (L.) Greuter against dermatophytes, Malassezia spp.and Aspergillus spp., associated with the few comparative studies on the antimicrobial activity of methanolic, ethanolic, and butanolic extracts underpins the study herein presented.The total condensed tannin (TCT), ph

This study proposes a framework for dynamic segment criticality analysis and its implications on scheduling of some reactive maintenance routines in water distribution networks (WDNs).The framework harmonises multilayer networks which are capable of ascertaining the dynamics of WDNs in discrete time and a novel hybrid segment criticality measure (S

We consider MEDIUM a general class of eigenvalue problems where the leading elliptic term corresponds to a convex homogeneous energy function that is not necessarily differentiable.We derive a strong maximum principle and show uniqueness of the first eigenfunction.Moreover we prove the existence of a sequence Sheaths, Sleeves of eigensolutions by u

To date, the neural underpinnings of affective components in language processing in children remain largely unknown.To fill this gap, the present study examined behavioural and neural correlates of children and adults performing the same auditory valence decision task with an event-related fMRI paradigm.Based on previous findings in adults, activat
