The Global Pesticide Complex: Infrastructure, Fragility and Frontiers of Agrarian Change
ABSTRACT Although most pesticides have long been on the market, the political economy surrounding their production, regulation and use has undergone considerable change, spurring renewed interest in the social sciences. The global pesticide complex (GPC) is an analytical device t...

Linear antibody epitope prediction using AlphaFold2
Defining the binding epitopes of antibodies is essential for understanding how they bind to their antigens and perform their molecular functions. However, while determining linear epitopes of monoclonal antibodies can be accomplished utilizing well-established empirical procedure...

Examining Mid-Level Stable Layers Over the Tropical Atlantic during ORCESTRA
Here we investigate elevated stable layers that frequently appeared at an altitude near 6 km in soundings obtained during the ORCESTRA field campaign. This observation deviates from the existing literature, which emphasizes that tropical mid-level stable layers are collocated wit...
