VIA1 is a conserved regulator of thylakoid membrane integrity that acts through VIPP1

Abstract Thylakoid membranes are indispensable for oxygenic photosynthesis, yet the mechanisms that protect these membranes from photooxidative damage remain poorly understood. By screening previously uncharacterized proteins induced during the chloroplast unfolded protein respon...

Dual Burden of Community Violence and Policing in A Large Urban City

Abstract Marginalized urban communities are affected by both high levels of violence and pervasive police presence. This qualitative study examined the dual burden of violence and over-policing, which contributes to hypervigilance and stress among community members. To explore th...

Spanish–Guaraní Code-Switching in Social Media: A Dependency Parsing Study

Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions: This study examines how Spanish–Guaraní bilinguals structure code-switching (CS) on Twitter/X and investigates what these patterns reveal about competing models of bilingual grammar. Specifically, it explores language dominance, swi...

Older Adults’ End-of-Life Care: Are Retrospective Assessments Patterned by Proxy Relationship to Decedent?

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Understanding the quality of older adults' end-of-life care is essential for informed decision-making and practitioner accountability. However, retrospective appraisals provided by proxies may be shaped by their relationship to the decedent. Failure to...

GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow

Abstract We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (z = 0.153), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt γ-ray emission and a Comptonized spectrum. The burst occurred at the edge of a blue host ga...

Computer-Vision-Enabled Worker Video Analysis for Motion Amount Quantification

The performance of physical workers is significantly influenced by the extent and quality of their motions. However, accurately measuring and assessing these motions remains a challenge due to the limitations in conventional instrumentation; wearable sensors require calibration a...

Skuas as sentinels of high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 on the Antarctic Peninsula in the 2024/2025 austral summer

Despite Antarctica's geographic isolation, the first incursion of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 was detected in the 2023/2024 austral summer. Surveillance for HPAI H5N1 in Antarctica remains patchy due to logistical, financial and infrastructure challenges, with...

Electron Shot Noise on a Current Biased Antenna

Abstract The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) Fields Experiment (FIELDS) uses Radio Frequency Spectrometer (RFS) data and Quasi‐Thermal Noise Spectroscopy (QTN) to determine the temperature and density of electrons in the heliosphere. The FIELDS antennas typically operate with a negative...

Homicide at home: setting the agenda for an international collaboration to improve support for children bereaved due to family violence

Background: Bereavement due to fatal family violence (e.g. intimate partner homicide, filicide, parricide, siblicide) is a profoundly disruptive experience for children, with lifelong psychosocial consequences. Although the need for fatal family violence prevention is increasingl...

High symmetry embeddings of rectilinear tangles

Abstract Finite tangles are embeddings of graphs that include knots or links as subcomponents. We describe vertex-transitive tangles with 12 or fewer crossings, as well as tangles with just two crossings that feature the Hopf link. Additionally, we consider tangles formed by addi...

Varietal development and rice yield growth in India: assessing IRRI’s germplasm contribution

This study analyzed the contribution of International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) improved germplasm to rice varietal development and yield growth in India. Out of the total of 1436 released high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of rice, 769 (53%) were developed using IRRI improved g...

The Role of Meso-level Organizations in Climate Adaptation for Small-Scale Producers in Sub-Saharan Africa-insights from four African Countries

<title>Abstract</title> This analysis examines the meso-level organizations (MLOs) that are core climate change adaptation (CCA) actors responsible for interweaving micro-level rural community needs with macro-level policy and finance intentions, using qualitative data from four...

ReDON: Recurrent Diffractive Optical Neural Processor with Reconfigurable Self-Modulated Nonlinearity

Diffractive optical neural networks (DONNs) have demonstrated unparalleled energy efficiency and parallelism by processing information directly in the optical domain. However, their computational expressivity is constrained by static, passive diffractive phase masks that lack eff...

Why Does a Shallow Land Model Underestimate the Dryland Drying Trends?

Abstract Most land surface models (LSMs) and macroscale hydrological models with shallow soil profiles underestimate observed terrestrial water storage (TWS) declines across global drylands. Here, we incorporated a recently developed global data set of depth to bedrock with spati...

Temperature and relative humidity differentially affect deltamethrin and malathion toxicity in the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus

Background Temperature and relative humidity are key drivers of ectotherm physiology, yet their combined effects on insecticide performance remain poorly understood. Here, we experimentally quantified how both temperature and relative humidity influence the toxicity of two widely...

Prekindergarten and Kindergarten Predictors of Reading Comprehension in Monolingual English and Spanish-English Bilingual Sixth Graders.

PURPOSE: Poor reading comprehension performance by children in the United States is a continuing concern. Early identification and intervention can reduce the number of children with significant reading problems. We documented prekindergarten and kindergarten predictors of Grade...

Risk Stratification of Patients Being Considered for Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Background/Objectives: Endovascular repair (EVAR) is the default for most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), yet open repair (OR) remains necessary, and the decision hinges on fitness for open surgery. No standardized preoperative tool defines who is “unfit” for OR. We derived an...

The Impact of Writing Instruction for English Language Learners in the United States: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract Writing is a cornerstone of academic success, yet English language learners (ELL) in the United States must learn to write while also developing English proficiency. Although descriptive reviews suggest that writing instruction can benefit these learners, no prior meta-a...

Corporate Harm and Consumer Risk in Reproductive Health: Faulty Contraceptives as a Form of Victimization

Access to safe and effective contraception is central to reproductive autonomy and public health, yet numerous contraceptive products have been associated with recalls, safety warnings, litigation, and allegations of insufficient risk disclosure. This article examines the harms a...

Valorization of Refinery Sulfur in Asphalt and Its Environmental and Health Implications

Abstract With the spread of hydrodesulfurisation in petroleum refining and increasingly strict regulations on the sulphur content of transport fuel, especially marine fuel, a global surplus of elemental sulphur has gradually appeared. There is now a surplus that will be used to i...
