Bryozoan‐Rich Carbonate Units of the Erfoud Area ( SE Morocco) Record Latest Katian to Early Hirnantian Interglacial Intervals

ABSTRACT Carbonate intervals form distinctive units distributed throughout the Upper Ordovician stratal record of the clastic‐dominated Mediterranean Province of the Gondwana platform. In southern Morocco (eastern Anti‐Atlas), bryozoan‐rich deposits comprise the mixed carbonate‐s...

Training emotion regulation in Preschoolers: Preliminary evaluation of a Researcher–Teacher co-constructed program aligned with usual classroom practices

This study evaluated the effects of a research-based, innovative training program targeting emotion regulation in preschool children. The program was co-constructed with teachers to ensure its integration into everyday classroom practices. Its effectiveness was evaluated using ta...

Marine‐Derived Type I Collagen From Scyliorhinus canicula : Extraction, Characterization, and Biomedical Applications

ABSTRACT Marine‐derived biomaterials have attracted increasing interest as sustainable and biocompatible alternatives to terrestrial sources. In this study, type I collagen (Coll‐I) was extracted from the skin of Scyliorhinus canicula using an acid‐solubilization method, 7.08% ±...

Aseismic Slip Along the Evaporite‐Rich Strike‐Slip Katouna‐Stamna Fault in Greece

Abstract Aseismic slip has been observed on many active faults globally, but its controlling mechanisms remain unclear. This study focuses on the NW‐striking, left‐lateral Katouna‐Stamna Fault in Western Greece. We use InSAR surface deformation measurements to confirm the presenc...

Resolving Peptide-Based Supramolecular Architecture Emerging at Reactive Copper/Water Interface

Abstract Understanding how molecular interactions evolve into ordered architectures at reactive solid/liquid interfaces remains a major challenge because surface reactivity can profoundly influence adsorption mechanisms. In such systems, multiple interfacial processes, including...

Systematic interactome analysis identifies OCRL as a DENV 2 NS4A interactor that inhibits viral replication through a mechanism independent of global actin cytoskeleton rearrangement

Dengue virus (DENV) is a medically important human pathogen belonging to the genus Orthoflavivirus . DENV encodes seven non-structural (NS) proteins which exert multiple cellular effects. NS4A is a 16 kDa membrane-associated protein; however, its functions in orthoflavivirus infe...

The Impact of Common Medications on Male Fertility: An Updated Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Background Compared with those of cytotoxic treatments, the potential effects of common medications on the fertility of men trying to conceive currently or planning to conceive in the future are less well described. The use of common medications may modify the gonadotrop...

Glycans located upstream of the furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein influence its processing and functions

The SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein, which plays a central role in viral entry, consists of two subunits: S1, which mediates binding to the ACE2 receptor; and S2, which induces fusion of the viral envelope with the cell membrane. The S glycoprotein also contains a polybasic mot...

Space‐Based Observation of Decadal Variations of Ammonium Sulfate Aerosols Over Northern China

Abstract The concentrations of ammonium sulfate, an important component of secondary inorganic aerosols, have dropped substantially in the North China Plain (NCP) over the past decade. However, current understanding of its variations is limited by the small number of ground‐based...

On the role of error metrics in the assessment of chemical kinetic mechanisms

Methods intended to decrease the computational cost of chemistry, such as mechanism reduction, neural-network surrogates, or genetic optimization, rely on metrics to assess agreement with reference datasets. However, the role of error definitions in the design of these metrics re...

Electropolymerization of carvacrol on mild steel surfaces: a coating for corrosion protection in 0.1 M NaCl

Steels find extensive use and applications across various industries thanks to their manifold properties. However, they remain sensitive to corrosion in aggressive environments like salt water. While traditionally used corrosion inhibitors exhibit toxicity and environmental impac...

On spaces of Euclidean triangles and triangulated Euclidean surfaces

Abstract In this paper, we introduce an asymmetric distance function on the space of marked Euclidean triangles of normalised area, and we prove several properties of this metric, which turns out to be (a restriction of) a non-symmetric version of the classical Thompson distance....

A Remarkably Similar Oxygen Electronic Structure in CO-Treated CeO2 and Gd-Doped CeO2 Is Revealed by X-ray Raman Spectroscopy

Abstract CeO2 is a key material for catalytic and electrochemical applications due to its ability to store and release oxygen, linked to the formation of oxygen vacancies and the reversible reduction of Ce4+ cations to Ce3+. In this study, the oxygen K-edge was investigated in bu...

Isolation, in vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, molecular docking, and in silico ADME analysis of compounds from Cadaba farinosa roots

Three undescribed compounds were isolated ( 2 , 3 , 5 ) from the roots of Cadaba farinosa Forssk. with twelve known metabolites. In addition, three compounds ( 1 , 4 , 6 ) previously known only from synthetic sources were isolated from the extract and, to our knowledge, have not...

Contact and recruit – the importance of acoustic communication in the foraging strategy of a flightless seabird

While foraging, seabirds use various cues to navigate, including other predators to signal the presence of inconspicuous prey. Transfers of information have been conceptualised in flying seabirds as local enhancement and foraging networks, with visual signals used over a few kilo...

Cefepime exposure in prolonged or intermittent infusion in critically ill children

Aims Cefepime is commonly used in critically ill children for whom there is a high between‐subject variability. To reach the therapeutic pharmacokinetic (PK) target in critically ill patients, prolonged infusion of beta‐lactams seems to be the most efficient. The aim of this stud...

Integrated Solenoid Inductors with Solid Ferrite Core

Passive components such as inductors are essential components in many fields of electronics. This article focuses on the manufacturing of integrated inductors with a solid ferrite magnetic core. The use of the soft ferrite materials MnZn and NiZn enables the manufacturing of inte...

Strongly coupled stimulated Brillouin amplification with flying focus

Damage to compression gratings poses a fundamental limit to chirped pulse amplification in high-power laser systems. Plasma-based compressors using strongly coupled stimulated Brillouin scattering (scSBS) offer a damage-free alternative, but their effectiveness has been hindered...

International consensus guidance for general population screening for islet autoantibodies to diagnose early-stage type 1 diabetes: a nominal group technique process

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that targets and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising globally. At the clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, between 20% and 67% of children and adolescents present wit...
