Tunable Magnetotransport across Competing Magnetic Phases in the Distorted Kagome Antiferromagnet HoPtSn

Abstract Competing magnetic phases in frustrated systems provide a fertile ground for unusual magnetic and electronic responses owing to their sensitivity to external perturbations. The distorted kagome antiferromagnet HoPtSn is an example of such a system, exhibiting successive...

Simple birth-death-mutation models predict some—but not all—aspects of the experimental evolution of antibiotic resistance

Mathematical modelling of antibiotic resistance plays an important role in understanding the mechanisms of resistance emergence and spreading, testing the feasibility of new treatment protocols, and antimicrobial stewardship. However, many assumptions underlying some of the most...

Academic mobility and identity in transition: comparative insights from multilingual scholars across higher educational systems

Purpose This paper aims to examine how bi- and multilingual academics reconstruct professional identities during international mobility and how they exercise agency in relation to language hierarchies, institutional expectations, and belonging across higher education systems. Des...

Kombucha Bacterial Cellulose Obtained from Tea Fermentation for Biomedical Applications

Abstract The symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) driving kombucha tea fermentation produces a cellulose pellicle with remarkable promise for biomedical applications. Unlike well-studied bacterial cellulose (BC), which is produced by single-strain cultures, the underex...

Surface Functionalization of Small Extracellular VesiclesDerived from Caco-2 and HEK293T Cells in the Neutralizationof Shiga Toxin 1 Subunit B

Abstract Shiga toxins (Stx) are key virulence factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), which are responsible for severe foodborne infections that can progress to hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). Currently, no specific antitoxin therapies are available. In this st...
