Ion homeostasis and redox stability are associated with cultivar-dependent preservation of essential oil quality in salt-stressed Pelargonium graveolens

Soil salinization increasingly constrains the productivity and quality of aromatic and medicinal crops, yet the mechanisms underlying cultivar-dependent salt tolerance in Pelargonium graveolens remain insufficiently understood. This study evaluated three contrasting cultivars (CI...

A narrative review of Zika virus cardiotropism and atrial fibrillation from pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges to inflammation aware management

Systemic inflammation is a key driver of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the mechanisms linking specific viral triggers to arrhythmogenesis are not fully understood. Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, which can induce a significant inflammatory response, provides a compelling clinical mo...

Effects of institutional quality and gender imbalance on carbon intensity in China

Climate change and rising carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions remain central challenges to global sustainable development, particularly in rapidly industrializing economies such as China. This study examines the long-run association between institutional quality, gender imbalance, ren...

Otolith-based growth reconstruction and comparative evaluation of back-calculation methods in Reba carp, Cirrhinus reba (Hamilton, 1822)

Context Understanding growth patterns is essential for effective fisheries management and conservation of freshwater fishes, for economically important species with limited otolith-based growth studies. Cirrhinus reba, a valuable minor carp in the Ganga River, lacks comprehensive...

Nonlinear Mixed Bi-Skew Jordan and Bi-Skew Lie Triple Higher Derivations on *-Algebras

Let A be a complex unital *-algebra containing a nontrivial projection and satisfying a Peirce-faithfulness condition. Let D={Dn}n∈N be a family of mappings from A into itself, not assumed to be additive, with D0=idA. Suppose that Dn([A•B,C]*)=∑p+q+r=n[Dp(A)•Dq(B),Dr(C)]* for all...

Efficient retrieval-augmented generation via multi-signal token compression

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves question answering by grounding large language models in retrieved passages, but long contexts increase prompt-token cost and latency. We introduce HLLC, a deterministic, generator-agnostic framework that compresses corpus chunks duri...

Invisible threats on our plate: Health implications of food-borne nanoparticles

In the modern world, nanotechnology has gained incredible attention due to its virtue for the development of smart materials, innovative devices, and enriched technological applications. Nanoparticles (NPs) are now widely employed across diverse sectors, including industry, agric...

Recognized but Not Machine-Readable: An Evidence-Tiered Audit of Sahitya Akademi Awardees in Wikidata

Wikidata is a major open source of structured, machine-readable knowledge, used across Wikimedia's own projects and increasingly drawn on by search engines, question-answering systems, and knowledge-grounded AI tools. A writer's absence from it can shape whether they are found or...
