Background There is a high prevalence of poor sleep quality and low energy availability (EA) in athletes during phases of intensive training, which poses significant risks for overreaching, improper recovery, and comprom...

Abstract Background Shift workers are disproportionately exposed to institutional food environments shaped by long working hours and irregular schedules. In rapidly industrializing cities, institutional fast-food availab...

Abstract Background More than 80% of the global premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Nigeria, like most LMICs, has limited capacity to respond to di...

OBJECTIVES: Concerns about the health and well-being effects of high after-hours availability expectations and work-related connectivity have prompted calls for organizational and national disconnection measures, such as...

Seaweeds hold immense economic potential due to multifarious applications in pharmaceuticals and everyday products. India’s 11,099 km coastline harbours a rich diversity of seaweeds in the Indian Ocean. Identifying sea...

Abstract In agricultural environments, nitrification inhibitors (NIs), both synthetic and biological, are widely used to reduce nitrogen (N) losses through various mechanisms. Two plant residues were selected to evaluate...

To evaluate the frequency and types of data availability statements (DASs) of publications in journals indexed in the Dentistry, Oral surgery and Medical (DOM) category of Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database, and to ...

Abstract Plant nitrogen availability critically limits plant growth and thus constrains terrestrial carbon sequestration. Growing evidence points to a recent decline in plant nitrogen availability, yet the global consist...
