Abstract Rate limitation in translational elongation causes ribosomes to pause as they decode an open reading frame (ORF). The triggers and outcomes of these events are poorly understood in plants. Here, we size, map, and quantify footprints of individual (monosome) and closely s...

Well-posedness and singularity formation beyond the Yudovich class
We introduce a local-in-time existence and uniqueness class for solutions to the 2d Euler equation with unbounded vorticity. Furthermore, we show that solutions belonging to this class can develop stronger singularities in finite time, meaning that they experience finite time blo...

Abstract The evolution of magnetic properties in molybdenum chloride systems caused by structural motif changes was investigated by magnetic property measurements and DFT calculations. In ξ-MoCl5, characterized by the presence of molybdenum dimers, the formation of ferromagnetic...

Global growth in soilless plant production systems, coupled with an increase in the soilless production of many traditional field-grown horticultural crops, has substantially increased demand for soilless substrates. This demand, as well as increasing interest in reducing industr...

Gendered racism, rooted in the interlocking injustices of racism and sexism, is a contributor to poor mental health; its association with physical health outcomes, however, is not well understood. This study investigates whether gendered racism is associated with disease activity...

The End-of-Life Phase as Part of the Lifespan: The Self, Health, Future-Time Model
Abstract In lifespan developmental psychology (Baltes, 1987), development is conceptualized as a lifelong process that occurs from conception to death. Every life phase has its own challenges and opportunities. End of life has been largely neglected as a separate life period. Our...

Abstract Background Bartonella spp., Borrelia spp., and piroplasmid are increasingly recognized as vector-borne pathogens worldwide, with documented circulation in arthropod vectors and animal reservoirs in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to assess whether Bartonella exposu...

Meta-CD: a metagenomic sequencing coverage and depth calculator for target species
ABSTRACT Meta genomic C overage and D epth Calculator (Meta-CD) is a convenient, biologist-friendly tool for determining coverage and depth to enhance taxonomic detection, functional profiling, and metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) recovery in metagenomics. It supports experiment...

An unsupervised machine learning scheme for index-based CSI feedback in Wi-Fi
High-speed wireless data transmission relies heavily on beamforming to improve data rates and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). However, traditional feedback mechanisms introduce significant overhead and system complexity, challenging the efficiency of modern networks. This paper inv...

Centuries of Potato Late Blight: Tracking Global Epidemics and Managing Future Outbreaks
Phytophthora infestans killed the potato crop in Ireland in 1845, leading to widespread famine and the death of more than one million people. Historic herbarium specimens from the famine era were used to understand the pathogen's biology and track its global spread, providing a v...

Purpose The biomechanics of surgically treated metacarpal base fractures are poorly described. We hypothesized that intramedullary threaded nail (IMTN) fixation and dorsal plate and screw (DPS) fixation would perform similarly in multiple fracture locations approaching the metaca...

Invisible Threats, Relentless Hunters: Biosurveillance of Airborne Plant Pathogens
Airborne dispersal enables plant pathogens to travel across fields, regions, and continents, fueling rapid epidemics and emerging disease threats. Biosurveillance, the systematic monitoring of airborne inoculum, offers the opportunity to detect pathogens before symptoms appear an...

ABSTRACT The growing availability of ecological imagery creates new opportunities to monitor biodiversity and ecosystem change at broad scales. Yet image classification models remain constrained by uneven sampling, limited labeled data, and differences between training and deploy...

Attomolar Detection of HIV‐1 With Label‐Free RCA‐rCRISPR on Smartphone
ABSTRACT HIV remains a major global public health challenge, causing 42.3 million deaths since its discovery in the early 1980s. Despite progress in prevention and treatment, around 60% of people with HIV (PWH) remain undiagnosed in resource‐limited regions due to the lack of ine...

Abstract Many forage grasses increase seed dispersal by having their seeds ingested by grazing animals and later deposited elsewhere, reducing parent‐plant offspring competition and improving germination conditions. This study discusses the dissemination of seeds by livestock to...

The value realization of eco-assets through eco-product consumption requires both a sufficient ecological supply base and enabling demand-side conditions. Yet assessments in economically developed regions often focus on supply alone. A supply-only assessment can hide the spatial...
