Pectin–Protein Complexes: A Design‐Oriented Platform for Tailoring Food Texture Modification

ABSTRACT Pectin–protein complexes have emerged as promising functional ingredients in texture‐modified foods (TMF) due to their multifunctional roles in gelation, emulsification, and water retention. These properties enable the design of customized textures for applications such...

Uncovering Newcastle disease virus dynamics in Northern Nigeria: insights from an epidemiological survey in unvaccinated village poultry

Abstract Background Newcastle disease virus (NDV) remains a major constraint to village and backyard poultry production in Nigeria, where limited vaccination and low biosecurity may facilitate sustained virus circulation. This study investigated the serological and molecular epid...

Infrastructuring short food supply chains: how intermediaries bind rules, norms and values

Food supply chains are crucial for food security and socio-economic development, yet their length concentrates value away from producers and consumers disproportionate resources. As the COVID-19 pandemic and the wars in Ukraine and Iran exposed, overreliance on long chains produc...

Prediagnostic circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and prostate cancer-specific survival: a collaborative pooled analysis of 13 prospective studies

Abstract Background Previous research suggests higher risk of prostate cancer diagnosis in men with high vitamin D serology, but there are limited data related to prostate cancer survival. In this study, we examine the associations between prediagnostic circulating levels of 25-h...

Impact of extreme rainfall on triggering conditions and susceptibility for shallow landslides: a case study in the Alpes-Maritimes region (France)

Abstract. Prediction of shallow landslides at the regional scale generally relies on statistical analyses of landslide inventories. Rainfall-duration thresholds and susceptibility maps are among the most common approaches to anticipate future landslide occurrences. However, the o...

Potential glacier contributions to the 2024 La Bérarde flood

Abstract. On 20–21 June 2024, an unprecedented flood of the Etançons river caused important damage to the village of La Bérarde (Écrins, France). An analysis of the event showed that the flood was caused by the combination of an intense rain-on-snow event at high altitude and the...

Identification of living (Rose Bengal)-stained benthic foraminifera using automated image recognition

Abstract. Living and fossil benthic foraminifera are widely used as bioindicators of ecosystem quality, but their analysis is time-consuming. With the help of artificial intelligence, models for the automatic identification of fossil planktonic foraminifera and, more recently, be...

Breast cancer metabolism and responsiveness to dichloroacetate: relationships with 15N and 13C natural abundance

Abstract Background Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of breast cancer (BrCa), with alterations in glycolysis, glutamine metabolism, and the urea cycle contributing to tumour progression. Dichloroacetate (DCA), a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor, shifts metabolis...

Toward Climate-Responsive Ocean–Terrestrial Biorefineries: Integrating Algae and Agricultural Residues for Circular Bioeconomies

Abstract This paper evaluates climate-responsive biorefineries that integrate pelagic Sargassum with agricultural residues to advance circular bioeconomies. Building on scientific priorities emphasized at the 2025 One Ocean Science Congress and emerging policy directions from the...

A Dynamic Mechanism for Prevalence of Triangles in Competitive Networks

Abstract Triangles are abundant in real-world networks but rare in standard null models for sparse graphs. Existing explanations typically rely on explicit triadic closure mechanisms or geometry-based connection rules. We propose an alternative hypothesis: the frequent appearance...

Iron Isotopes Reveal Fe Export Driven by Change of Tropical Weathering Regime

Abstract Unraveling paleoenvironmental signals recorded in laterites is crucial for quantifying weathering‐driven elemental fluxes at the Earth's surface. New stable iron isotope data (δ 56 Fe), combined with (U‐Th)/He ages in Fe‐oxides from a ferruginous duricrust from French Gu...

Bridging local decisions and regional forest strategies under climate risks: a flexibility-based optimization framework

<title>Abstract</title> Context: While the management of forests at a regional level takes into account different forest types and management objectives, the potential effects of projected climate impacts at a sub-regional scale remain largely unexplored. Aims: To better support...

Termites play a crucial role in forming major tropical soils: insights from a deep Ferralsol

Abstract Soil bioturbation is increasingly recognized as a key driver of pedogenesis in tropical ecosystems, influencing above- and below-ground biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and aggregate stability across different spatial and temporal scales. This ecological process may play...

Beyond IPCC’s narratives on livestock: the need for integrated and holistic metrics

The early IPCC assessment reports (2001, 2007) predominantly conceptualised livestock in technical and efficiency-oriented terms, focusing on productivity and technological innovations, while the 2014 and 2022 reports embed livestock within broader socio-environmental frameworks,...

Total Ozone Reactivity Measurements Reveal Knowledge Gap in Volatile Organic Compound Emissions and Their Reactions

Abstract Total ozone (O 3 ) reactivity monitors (TORMs) were used to investigate biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions from several ecosystems. Measurements were conducted in temperate deciduous North American forests, during the CABINEX and SOAS campaigns, on tundr...

Planktonic foraminifera iodine ∕ calcium ratio: is it a proxy for dissolved oxygen in the ocean?

Abstract. Direct observations indicate a declining trend in ocean oxygen concentrations, which is not quantitatively captured by models. The complexity of oxygenation variability, linked to both physical and biochemical parameters, must be investigated across different modern cli...

Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of...

Frailty before disease onset: risk of mortality and chronic conditions in disease-free middle-aged adults

Abstract Frailty, defined by multisystem physiological decline and heightened vulnerability to stressors, is typically associated with aging and chronic disease. However, its relevance in apparently healthy individuals remains poorly understood. Identifying frailty in this popula...

Seasonal dependence of temperate forest soil respiration to soil temperature and water content clarified through data-driven modeling

Soil respiration is commonly modelled as a function of soil temperature and soil moisture, without explicitly accounting for seasonal effects. We have therefore developed a data-driven model that integrates interactions among soil temperature, soil moisture, and seasonality. This...

Chance of live birth in women with recurrent pregnancy loss referred to a French assisted reproductive technology center

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial condition, with over 50% of cases remaining unexplained. The absence of therapeutic consensus raises questions regarding referral for assisted reproductive technology (ART). To evaluate live birth rates and predictors of success...
