Lower Semen Quality Among Men in the Modern Era—Is There a Role for Diet and the Microbiome? by Kristina Magoutas, Sebastian Leathersich, Roger Hart, Demelza Ireland, Melanie Walls, Matthew Payne

“…Historically, infertility has been primarily attributed to female factors, neglecting the importance of male fertility; this has resulted in an incomplete understanding of reproductive health. Male factors account for 40–50% of infertility cases. In half of these cases, the proximal cause for male infertility is unknown. …”

The analysis of thermal performance of radiation life support system based on experimental data by V. I. Karagusov, A. V. Zinovieva

“…., a significant part of them, such as fog, haze, dew, shadow from each cloud affects the amount of insolation and all this cannot be taken into account in advance. The use of weather archives does not allow us to fully determine the specific thermal performance of solar collectors, since neither the average nor the current insolation is reflected in the archives. …”

Novel brain SPECT imaging unravels abnormal cerebral perfusion in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and cognitive dysfunction by Marie-Claire Seeley, Howard O’Brien, Gemma Wilson, Clair Coat, Tess Smith, Kevin Hickson, Reynold Casse, Amanda J. Page, Celine Gallagher, Dennis H. Lau

“…Hierarchal regression analyses found number of brain regions with abnormal CBF, autonomic and gastric symptoms to account for 51% of variances in health utility. Cerebral hypoperfusion is prevalent in those with POTS and cognitive dysfunction even whilst supine, contributing to reduced quality of life.…”

The experimental and numerical studies on the effects of the operating conditions on the performance of breastshot waterwheel by Agato Agato, Deendarlianto Deendarlianto, Indarto Indarto, Alfeus Sunarso

“…In the numerical simulation, the hydraulic channel was considered to be laterally symmetric, therefore only half of the section was taken into account. The simulation of free surface movement was calculated using the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the static and rotating region interface was treated using the sliding mesh interface (SMI). …”

A Novel Train-to-Train Communication Model Design Based on Multihop in High-Speed Railway by Pengyu Liu, Bo Ai, Zhangdui Zhong, Xiaojuan Zhou

“…This paper proposes a novel train-to-train communication model in a physical layer based on multihop and cooperation, taking a high-speed railway propagation channel into account. The mechanism of this model lies in the idea that a source train uses trains on other tracks as relays to transmit signals to destination train on the same track. …”

Modern approaches to production of safe and effective genetically modified rabies vaccines for animals by M. I. Doronin, A. Mazloum, D. V. Mikhalishin, M. N. Mitrofanova, A. Yu. Sukharkov, V. V. Kiseleva, A. V. Sprygin

“…The World Organization for Animal Health recommends vaccination to control rabies. Taking into account that there is a lack of affordable high-quality vaccines to globally prevent and control the disease, stable, attenuated production strains of rabies virus with broad cross-activity against various variants of the pathogen shall be considered as ideal candidates to produce high-quality, safe and effective vaccines. …”
