This notebook implements an advanced ecotoxicological data analytics pipeline to evaluate the phytotoxicity and multivariate physiological impacts of silver-coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (Ag@CoFe2O4 NPs) in wheat plants. Organized into four analytical stages, the workflow h...

Draft Genome and Phenotypic Characterization of an Adherent, Biofilm-Forming Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain (HU5) Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection in Mexico

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the main cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and its clinical success depends on adherence and colonization of the urothelium. Most publicly deposited UPEC genomes lack accompanying phenotypic validation of adherence or biofilm capac...

Effects of Progressive Replacement of Corn Stover with Condensed Tannin-Containing Woody Biomass on Growth Performance and Reproductive Development of Prospective Breeding Ram Lambs

This study determined the level at which corn stover (CS) could be progressively replaced with condensed tannin-containing woody biomass (CTWB) from Quercus rugosa without compromising dietary acceptance, growth, energy utilization, or reproductive development in prospective bree...

Evolving Perspectives on Glutamate Receptors: From Molecular Plasticity to Neuro-Physiological Diversity

Glutamate receptors constitute one of the most structurally diverse and functionally versatile families of signaling proteins in the animal kingdom, mediating the primary excitatory neurotransmission in the vertebrate central nervous system while also fulfilling ancestral roles i...

Economic and Financial Evaluation of an Agricultural Project in San Quintín: A Case Study

Abstract : This study evaluates the four-year economic and financial viability of a strawberry production and marketing company in San Quintín, Baja California, using profitability indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Benefit-Cost Ratio (...

Low-Pt Pt/NiMo-C catalysts for high-performance hydrogen evolution in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis

The development of electrocatalysts with reduced platinum-group-metal content is crucial for advancing anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). Here, platinum was incorporated into a carbon-supported NiMo-derived catalyst via impregnation and reductive thermal treatmen...

Post-disturbance temperate reef states influence fish contributions to nature and people

Abstract Background Climate-driven habitat reorganization is reshaping the capacity of marine ecosystems to sustain biodiversity and human well-being, with implications for SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). Yet, it remains unclear to what extent post-disturbance...

Perception-Aware Control for Aerial Robotics: LiDAR Integration and Its Effects on Quadcopter Navigation Performance

The integration of LiDAR sensors into quadcopter control systems is fundamental for autonomous navigation in cluttered environments, yet the precise performance trade-offs between different tracking architectures under perceptual uncertainty remain insufficiently quantified. This...

Menstrual-Cycle Phase-Based Periodization of Resistance Training and Chronic Gains in Strength and Body Composition: A Discordant Evidence Base in Need of an Uncertainty-Aware Synthesis

Periodizing resistance training around the menstrual cycle, typically by concentrating load in the follicular phase, has become popular through commercial cycle-tracking applications. This opinion argues that the recommendation rests on a small, heterogeneous, and conflicting evi...

Postprandial Satiety, Glycemia, and Antioxidant Capacity of Apparently Healthy Adults After Consuming Corn Chips with Avocado Paste Byproduct

Avocado paste (AP) is the main byproduct of industrial avocado processing. It has been recently studied as a source of potentially bioactive compounds with demonstrated in vivo satiety-related actions; however, these have not been explored in human consumers. The present study an...

Mexican illicit cigarette market in 2023: a follow-up study

Background Over the past decade, research on illicit tobacco trade in low- and middle-income countries has expanded considerably. In Latin America, independent studies have been conducted in at least seven countries, including Mexico, where the illicit cigarette market was estima...

Main covariability patterns between the Loop Current and the flow through the Yucatan Channel from altimetry and sustained moored observations

The Loop Current (\textbf{LC}) dominates circulation in the Gulf of Mexico, yet how its surface structure relates to Yucatan Channel flow remains incompletely understood. We apply maximum covariance analysis to altimetry-derived geostrophic speed over the LC domain and Canek velo...

Gamma Irradiation Effects on Fatty Acid Profiles, Adhesion, Plasmid Stability, and Secreted Proteins in Shigella: In Silico Insights into Post-Irradiation Virulence

This study investigated the adaptive mechanisms of Shigella sonnei ATCC25931 in response to gamma irradiation stress (0.5 and 1 kGy), with a specific focus on the involvement of fatty acids (FAs) in membrane lipid composition remodeling, adherence, and extracellular proteins. The...

Fipronil Susceptibility Evaluation for the Establishment of a Diagnostic Concentration for Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico

The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.), is of medical and veterinary relevance and is primarily controlled with acaricides. Because acaricide resistance in this tick is a growing concern, evaluating effective acaricides is particularly important in Baja Ca...

Adaptive Laboratory Evolution of the Hydrocarbonoclastic Marine Strain Rhodococcus ruber MSA14 to High Pyrene Concentrations

Rhodococcus ruber MSA14, isolated from oil-polluted coastal sediments in Baja California, Mexico, has previously been shown to degrade pyrene, highlighting its potential for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) bioremediation. In the present study, MSA14 was subjected to adapti...

Woven endobridge device compared to stent-assisted coiling and microsurgical clipping for intracranial aneurysms

Background: Endovascular techniques and devices, including Woven EndoBridge (WEB) and stent-assisted coiling (SAC), expand the choice of therapies for complex aneurysms, while the evidence directly comparing them to microsurgical clipping (MSC) remains very limited. This meta-ana...
