Phenotypic Associations in Resistance to Medically Important Antibiotics Among Highly Resistant Bacteria Isolated from Cambodian Dairy Farms

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized by global health authorities as one of the foremost public health and development challenges confronting humanity today, leading the WHO to establish categories of medically important antibiotics for humans and animals. On farms with a...

Variable clinical course of retinitis pigmentosa patients with RPE65 gene mutations

This retrospective observational study characterized the clinical features and visual function of early- and later-onset retinitis pigmentosa (RP) caused by biallelic variants in the RPE65 gene ( RPE65 -RP). Nine genetically confirmed patients (seven unrelated individuals and one...

Differences in Occupational and Health Accommodations for Older Workers by Workplace Size: A Text Mining Analysis of Open-Ended Responses

Abstract Objectives As labor force participation among older workers continues to increase, the nature of workplace accommodations may vary according to workplace size. In this study, we aimed to clarify the current status and characteristics of workplace accommodations that addr...

Self-organized spectral adjustment in echolocation sounds within group-flying bats

Self-organized behaviour has been extensively studied in group dynamics in animals, with a strong focus on movement coordination in species like fish and birds. By contrast, far less attention has been paid to vocal interactions within animal groups. Here, we unveil a self-organi...

Neglected carbonation effect on moisture profiles in hardened cement paste during short-term drying

This study investigates the influence of atmospheric CO₂ on moisture transport during drying in cementitious pastes with different microstructures, namely ordinary Portland cement (OPC), volcanic glass powder (VGP), and limestone-calcined clay cement (LC 3 ) pastes. To isolate th...

Statistical properties of internal modulation in pulsating aurora

Abstract. We statistically investigated the occurrence characteristics of internal modulation (IM), a rapid intensity modulation of a few hertz embedded in pulsating aurora (PsA), using high-speed ground-based optical data obtained with qCMOS cameras. For datasets acquired at Kir...

Temporal dissection of hepatitis C virus and orthoflavivirus infections by continuous luminescence monitoring

Virus infection is a dynamic process consisting of rapidly evolving viral and host events, yet conventional endpoint assays provide only fragmented snapshots of these processes. Here, we established a unified temporal framework for dissecting virus-host interactions by integratin...

From pollution control to system governance: five decades of environmental policy evolution in China

China's environmental governance has undergone a profound transformation since the late 1970s, with implications that extend far beyond its borders. Existing accounts of this evolution rely largely on qualitative periodisation and expert interpretation, offering limited capacity...

The 11th International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM11) and the 10th International Workshop on Plasmas for Cancer Treatment (IWPCT10)

The 11th International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM11), held jointly with the 10th International Workshop on Plasmas for Cancer Treatment (IWPCT10), took place from 31 May to 5 June 2026 in Gifu, Japan. The meeting brought together 225 scientists from 23 countries across f...

Less Care, More Respect: Low Concern About Social Evaluation Signals Competence

This project examines how concern about social evaluation shapes interpersonal impressions. Across two preregistered studies, we tested whether appearing less concerned about social evaluation increases perceived competence and respect, and whether this effect generalizes to indi...

CT-referenced end-to-end hyperspectral imaging for spatially resolved moisture content mapping in wood

Abstract Spatially resolved moisture content (MC) measurement is important for understanding moisture migration and improving drying control in wood. This study developed a CT-referenced end-to-end near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) framework for moisture content mappi...

Why don't all birds lay early? Causes and consequences of breeding timing for a long‐lived migratory seabird

The relationship between earlier laying and higher breeding success is well-established in avian species. However, a wide distribution of breeding timings is often maintained within a population, and the causes and consequences of this variation require further exploration, parti...

Degree two unirational parametrizations over the real field

We study degree two unirational parameterizations of geometrically rational surfaces over the real field.

A survey of the reconnection layer around Mercury’s magnetopause

An anomalous reconnection layer (ARL) forms in the Earth’s magnetosheath near the magnetopause when the solar wind has a low Alfvén Mach number. This ARL structure is similar to a magnetic reconnection outflow region and is characterized by a weaker total magnetic field and a hig...

Plateau–Rayleigh Instability–Driven Shell-First Growth of (Ge, Si1– x Ge x )–AlN Core–Shell Crystals Exhibiting Telecom E-Band Photoluminescence

Abstract Si and Ge are technologically important semiconductors for electronic, photovoltaic, and optoelectronic applications. Herein, we report mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxial growth of (Ge, Si1–xGex)–AlN core–shell crystals on Al-based nanoabsorbers. Nano-CT and micr...

Olive Oil Before Oral Glucose Delays Gastric Emptying and Lowers Glycemia Through Partially Redundant Glucagon and GLP-1 Signaling in Mice

Consumption of fat before carbohydrate (preload) attenuates postprandial glucose excursions, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated whether an olive oil preload (OG) reduces glycemia by engaging endocrine and neural regulation of gastric emptying. Wild...

Association between meal timing regularity and oral health behaviors

Good oral health habits may be related to the regularity of food intake; however, these relationships have not been well-explored. This study examined the association between meal timing regularity and oral health behaviors, focusing on consistent weekday and weekend meal schedul...

An international multicenter analysis of the outcome of pediatric first variceal hemorrhage

Background & Aims: Management of portal hypertension in children including primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding is controversial due to limited understanding of mortality risk after first variceal hemorrhage (1VH). This international multicenter study was designed to advance...

Molecular Connectivity Controls Electronic Coupling and Charge-Transfer Dynamics at Anthracene–MoS2 Interfaces

Abstract Controlling interfacial charge-transfer (CT) interactions is a central challenge in two-dimensional (2D) organic–inorganic hybrid materials. Here, we show that molecular connectivity strongly governs excited-state evolution at a 2D heterointerface using anthracene (An) d...

Octahedral tilt relaxation decoupled from lattice parameters in epitaxial perovskite oxide films

Epitaxial strain in perovskite oxide thin films is conventionally understood through lattice parameter modulation, characterized by the c / a ratio of the pseudocubic cell. However, internal atomic arrangements such as octahedral tilting can relax independently, a phenomenon that...
