Structural and functional transformations of an intermediate city and the emergence of commercial strips, the case of Tiaret in Algeria by Asmaa Bekkouche, Tayeb Otmane

“…The linear spread of retail on the periphery, led mainly by young traders, is transforming the urban landscape, making the city more attractive and bringing it to life, but it is generating land pressure, particularly in the individual housing estates, and placing the city center, which is not very favourable to traffic, in partial but long-term competition.…”

Advanced polynomial Y-function method for precise mobility characterization in 2D FETs by Jeongyun Jang, Yeon Jae Lee, Hayoung Roh, Sungho Kim

“…The results revealed that the TG-FET exhibited stronger surface-roughness scattering owing to the intensified transverse electric field from the thinner dielectric layer, leading to pronounced mobility degradation. The polynomial Y-function method successfully isolates key degradation factors, thereby enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the carrier transport mechanisms in 2D FETs. …”

THYROID FUNCTION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OF TEENAGE BOYS OF MAJOR ETHNIC GROUPS IN EASTERN SIBERIA by A. V. Labygina, E. Yu. Zagarskikh, L. F. Sholokhov, A. A. Semendyaev

“…However, the teenagers Caucasians living in urban areas, the puberty and physical development delay met in 2,5-1,4 times more often (33,8-58,3 %; px2 < 0,05). Our data support a role of thyroid dysfunction in the development of reproductive disorders, and therefore timely diagnosis, treatment and recovery of thyroid function is necessary for the prevention of infertility. …”
