Long-Term Oceanographic Survey for Social Implementation of OTEC Plant in Okinotorishima (Seawater Temperature, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Inorganic Nutrients and Density)

In order to implement ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), it is necessary to maintain a stable temperature difference between surface seawater and deep seawater. Accordingly, numerous oceanographic surveys have been conducted to select sea areas suitable for OTEC deployment,...

Rapid genome-wide purging following tsunami-induced hybridization in a stickleback population

Speciation is the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations. As speciation approaches completion, genome-wide divergence can be maintained in the face of hybridization. Because real-time observations of genomic changes following hybridization in natural po...

Mitogenomic characterization and phylogenetic placement of the mottled wood-owl strix ocellata with gene rearrangement patterns in strigiformes

Abstract Owls (order Strigiformes) represent a highly specialized lineage of nocturnal raptors, within which the genus Strix (family Strigidae) comprises several widely distributed species despite the limited availability of comprehensive mitogenomic data. In this study, the comp...

Targeting the Candida albicans agglutinin-like sequence 3 adhesin to disrupt oral polymicrobial bacterial–fungal biofilms: mechanisms and therapeutic strategies

glucosyltransferases is examined in detail. Emergent properties of Als3-dependent oral co-biofilms, including elevated antimicrobial tolerance, architectural complexity, metabolic interdependence, and interkingdom signaling amplification, are analyzed. Therapeutic strategies revi...
