Nano urea’s environmental edge and economic efficacy in boosting wheat grain yield across diverse Indian agro-climates by S. C. Tripathi, Nitesh Kumar, Karnam Venkatesh

“…The experiments followed a randomized block design with three replications, covering diverse agro-climatic regions of India. Analysis of combined data from multiple years and locations revealed that applying the recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN), i.e., 150 kg/ha in NWPZ (North western plains zone) and NEPZ (North eastern plains zone), and 120 kg/ha in CZ (Central zone) and PZ (Peninsular zone), along with two sprays of nano urea, resulted in a significant increase in grain yield 7.6%, 8.0%, 5.5%, and 9.1% in NWPZ, NEPZ, CZ, and PZ, respectively, compared to RDN alone. …”

Investigating Brain Structure and Functional Alterations in the Transition from Acute to Chronic Neck Pain: A Resting-State fMRI Study by Gao Z, Cui MJ, Wang HJ, Zhang J, Xu C, Ji LX

“…Additionally, Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (BOLD-fMRI) images were acquired to assess intergroup differences in low-frequency amplitude using DPARSF software.Results: Chronic neck pain patients exhibited increased cortical thickness in the left rostral middle frontal, left isthmus cingulate, left superior frontal, and right precuneus regions compared to those with acute neck pain. Low-frequency amplitude measures revealed decreased activity in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and left postcentral gyrus, among other areas, and increased activity in the right middle frontal gyrus and the opercular part of the right inferior frontal gyrus.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that dysfunction and structural changes in the limbic system and prefrontal cortex may play a pivotal role in the progression from acute to chronic neck pain. …”
