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...

Abstract Reverse time migration (RTM) requires numerically solving the partial differential wave equation because analytical solutions are infeasible. A significant challenge in numerical methods arises from inaccuracies in derivatives approximation, making the numerical wave vel...

Social communication during a sow-piglet foraging paradigm
Offspring may use various sensory modalities to learn from the mother, but this has in pigs received relatively little research attention. The objective of this study was to investigate social cues between sow and piglet during a learning scenario related to foraging. We hypothes...

Paramagnetic defects and luminescence in praseodymium-activated alkaline earth pyrophosphates
Establishing defect-property systematics in complex materials remains an elusive challenge, requiring complementary spectroscopic techniques and correlated investigations across chemically related host lattices. This study presents a systematic overview of defect-mediated charge...

More than 70% of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cases remain idiopathic, and the underlying genetic causes need to be investigated. In this study, we aimed to identify genes and variants associated with the etiology of NOA. Two NOA patients from consanguineous families, with n...

Narrating mellowness? Political soundness of “Chinese schools” of international relations
Abstract The rise of China has sparked growing scholarly interest in its political and philosophical thought, including the “Chinese schools” of international relations (IR). With this article, we add to the scholarship by asking two questions: which of these schools are mobilise...

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...

In the European Alps, plant species have persisted through major geological and climatic changes, leaving distinct genetic signatures of divergence. While these patterns are often attributed to Pleistocene glacial refugia, they may also reflect older, pre-Quaternary events. In mo...

Quantifying the true surface area of vegetated terrain in mountainous regions is critical for accurate environmental modelling but remains technically challenging. Steep slopes, complex canopy structures, and heterogeneous landforms distort conventional area estimates derived fro...
