Simulating Methane (CH4) Transport Pathways from a Rice Crop Grown on a Degraded Fen Peat Soil using the Peatland-VU Model

Important notes for future model users that seek to simulate the Peatland-VU model The modelling data uploaded in the zipped folder called as "Swiss PeatVU Aug2026 outputs" contains the simulations conducted using the Peatland-VU model. These Peatland-VU simulations are for the s...

Fatty acid-dependent cidality in Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium abscessus: intracellular acidification by itaconic acid

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is now recognized as a chronic condition with considerable morbidity and mortality with incidence rising globally. This is concerning as these infections are often mis- or undiagnosed and currently available treatment regimens have...

Culture-Agnostic and Culture-Specific Analyses of Semantic Fluency in Korean and English Speakers With Alzheimer's Disease

PURPOSE: This study investigated cross-linguistic and cultural influences on semantic fluency in monolingual Korean- and English-speaking individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by contrasting culture-agnostic and culture-specific analytic frameworks. We focused on how cultural...

PET/CT-first staging in anal cancer: reconsidering the role of routine MRI

Multimodal imaging with pelvic MRI and FDG PET/CT is currently recommended for staging anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC). However, accumulating data suggest that PET/CT frequently alters staging and radiotherapy planning, raising questions about whether routine MRI is necessary...

The WoKaS-Iso database: workflow for a global compilation of oxygen-18 and deuterium records in karst springs and cave drip water for enhanced understanding of karst systems

For analysing karst hydrogeological systems, observations of karst springs and cave drips are considered indispensable. In addition to hydrometric observations, knowing the oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios has improved the understanding of vadose zone and aquifer dynamic...

JWST Nebular Spectroscopy of SN 2023qov: Circumstellar Dust Emission in a Normal Type Ia Supernova

Abstract We present panchromatic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023qov, ranging from ∼2 weeks before to ∼1 yr after maximum light. JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra at +276 and +363 days show ∼400 K dust emission that cools by ∼75 K between epochs, the first una...

Natural Products as Health Drivers in the Bioeconomy: BioVal an Integrative Framework for Sustainable High-Value Product Development

Nature has long provided solutions for human needs, from medicine and food to materials and energy. The scope of this study focuses on plants, fungi and algae as sources of diverse classes of compounds with biological activity, named Bioactive Natural Products (BioNPs). As global...

A trick to ensure positive Mordell–Weil rank

In this short note, we present a trick to ensure that the Jacobian of a given smooth curve over a number field has strictly positive Mordell-Weil rank.More explicitly, we prove that a smooth curve with no rational non-trivial 2-torsion and no rational theta characteristic has non...

Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment dispensing in the Irish General Medical Services population from 2012 to 2022: a repeated cross-sectional analysis

Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection contributes substantially to peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Increasing clarithromycin resistance has shifted guidelines towards 14-day treatment, bismuth quadruple therapy, and second-generation proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)....

When the system fails, the community leads: field insights from the self-efficacy and knowledge (SEEK) trial during Lebanon’s 2024 active conflict

Adolescent girls and young women affected by conflict experience persistent sexual and reproductive health challenges along with poorer mental health and wellbeing. Among Syrian adolescent girls and young women living in Lebanon, these challenges are exacerbated by displacement,...

Informing afforestation decisions with expert knowledge on forest biodiversity

Biodiversity underpins the ecosystem services provided by forests, yet for several planting scenarios expected to play an increasing role in future afforestation, the absence of comparable biodiversity data constrains ecosystem service modelling, natural capital accounting and as...

Computational Design of Three-Dimensional Nitrogenated Holey Graphene Structures with Phase-Dependent Optoelectronic Properties

Abstract In this work, we propose and comprehensively characterize two novel three-dimensional nitrogenated holey graphene (3D-NHG) structures, designated as the α and β phases. These architectures are predicted through a computational protocol based on the controlled compression...

Small regulatory RNAs in Acinetobacter baumannii: current status and future directions

Bacteria adapt to changing environments to ensure survival. Responding to new environmental conditions and internal states through regulation of gene expression is a fundamental biological process. One group of regulators of gene expression is regulatory RNAs. Among their many fu...

Cognitive vergence and pupil response during oddball task are associated with Alzheimer´s disease cerebrospinal fluid neurodegenerative biomarkers

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be diagnosed using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers reflecting amyloid and tau pathology. However, they provide no information about functional network status. We aimed to determine whether CSF biomarkers (Aβ42, p-Tau, t-Tau, and Aβ42/p-Tau ratio)...

Spectral Decomposition of Euler–Mellin Integrals

Abstract We consider the spectral decomposition of singularities of integrals and their integrands. Our results apply to any integral of Euler–Mellin type, and thus especially to every scalar Feynman integral. Specifically we provide for both the integrand and integral respective...

Rotational-Stiffness Sensitivity of a Low-Frequency Aeroelastic Branch in a Wingtip-Connected Modular UAV

This study examines how the rotational stiffness of two wingtip interfaces changes the low-frequency aeroelastic response of a free–free, three-module unmanned aerial vehicle. A finite-element model coupled with doublet-lattice aerodynamics is analyzed using the p–k method. The r...

The multifaceted role of the potassium channel KCNK1 in the early detection and prognostication of high-grade serous cancer

Abstract Background The sixth most common cancer in females in the UK, ovarian cancer remains a significant health burden due to its aggressive nature and stagnant mortality trends. The current gold standard biomarker, CA-125, has notable limitations, including low sensitivity in...

The anthropogenic fingerprint on emerging infectious diseases

Abstract Emerging infectious diseases are a hallmark of the Anthropocene 1,2 . Human-driven ecosystem changes and human–wildlife–livestock contact can drive the emergence of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases 3–5 , but how much these processes shape landscapes of outbreak risk is...

Equity and Inclusion in and through Evaluation

Evaluation can both use equitable and inclusive methodologies and support equitable and inclusive practice in STEM communication. As equity and inclusion has been forefronted in science communication, so too have content producers, researchers and evaluators increasingly prioriti...

Public Preferences for Autonomy-Enhancing Dementia Care in Ireland: A Protocol for a Discrete Choice Experiment.

Background Dementia is a leading cause of death and disability among older people worldwide with countries supporting people to remain at home for as long as possible. Autonomy is widely recognised as a key principle of person-centred dementia care and is increasingly emphasised...
