The evolution of regulations concerning biocidal products aimed towards an increased protection of the environment (e.g., EU Regulation No 528/2012) requires the development of new non-toxic anti-fouling (AF) systems.As the marine environment is an important source of inspiration, such AF systems inhibiting the adhesion of organisms without any tox

Major depressive disorder is a common and serious mood illness.The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and symptomatology of depression are poorly understood at present.Multiple neurotransmitter systems are believed to be implicated in depression.Increasing evidence supports glutamatergic transmission as a critical element in depressio
A Novel Approach for Differential Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning
In this paper, we start with a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of adding differential privacy (DP) to federated learning (FL) approaches, focusing on methodologies employing global (stochastic) u11-200ps gradient descent (SGD/GD), and local SGD/GD techniques.These global and local techniques are commonly referred to as FedSGD/FedGD and FedAv
Cytokines in Male Fertility and Reproductive Pathologies: Immunoregulation and Beyond
Germline development in vivo is dependent on the environment formed by somatic cells and the differentiation cues they provide; hence, the impact of local factors is highly relevant to the production of sperm.Knowledge of how somatic and germline cells interact is central to achieving biomedical goals relating to restoring, preserving or restrictin
