Atmospheric Dynamics and Diversity of Alternaria and Fusarium in a Common Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Crop in NW Spain

Abstract This study investigated the diversity of Alternaria and Fusarium species in atmospheric aerosols and plant tissue in a common wheat crop in NW Spain. The relationship between atmospheric fungal spore concentrations and weather conditions was analysed. To this end, non-vi...

Spatial co-occurrence of exotic species in an urban reserve in Mexico City

Exotic species can interact positively or negatively with other exotic species. The patches of original vegetation immersed within some urban centers may be vulnerable to invasion by exotic species, which may compromise the value of these urban ecological reserves for the conserv...

Impact of anthropogenic activities on the microplastic pollution status of an urbanized wetland

Due to their environmental ubiquity, persistence, and potential effects on living organisms, microplastic pollution has become a global concern. Urban wetlands, catchment basins within cities, are one of the final sinks of these pollutants. We studied the occurrence, abundance, d...

Seasonal forcing and substrate legacy shape the biogeochemical organization of rooftop vs. ground-level urban gardens

Urban agriculture is expanding rapidly in densely populated cities, yet the ecological functioning of rooftop soils relative to ground-level gardens remains poorly understood. We evaluated soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, microbial activity, and broad microbial community structu...

Cancer in systemic sclerosis: clinical associations and prognostic impact from the EUSTAR registry

BACKGROUND: Cancer represents a major cause of mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Established risk factors are limited to specific subsets, particularly early diffuse anti-RNA polymerase III (POLR3)-positive disease, needing further exploration. METHODS: We performed a nested...

Degradation of malachite green by Sm2O3 microspheres synthesized by the coprecipitation method

This work reports the synthesis of samarium oxide (Sm2O3) microspheres and their effectiveness in degrading malachite green (MG) dye, both in the dark and under UV light. Single-phase cubic Sm2O3 (C-type) was prepared by a direct coprecipitation method, followed by calcination at...

Systematic review and exploratory spatial analysis of bat trypanosomatid infections in Mexico

Abstract Introduction Trypanosoma spp. and Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites of public health importance. Bats can act as hosts, but evidence from Mexico remains fragmented and has rarely been examined within a One Health spatial framework. The Maya Train and the Interocean...

GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow

Abstract We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (z = 0.153), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt γ-ray emission and a Comptonized spectrum. The burst occurred at the edge of a blue host ga...

Close relationship and role of fractal dimension, heterogeneous nucleation, dynamic transformations and cooperativity mechanisms in unperturbed tumor growth

<title>Abstract</title> The cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and remains an enigma for researchers and medical doctors. The aim of this study is to propose a novel methodology that demonstrates the close relationship and role of fractal dimension, heterogeneo...

An Agent-Based Model of the Stellar Mass Distribution

The Initial Mass Function (IMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses formed in a stellar cluster and constitutes a fundamental constraint for theories of star formation. In this work, we investigate the emergence of the IMF slope using a minimal agent-based model inspired...

Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance

Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for el...

Decomposing the impact of structural change on GDP and transport volume: Evidence from Mexico and USA

Economic activity and its structure (i.e. tertiary, secondary and primary sectors) are strongly linked to the transport of goods and people. Transport is a central driver of energy consumption and generates negative externalities. The decoupling of transport demand from energy us...

Obinutuzumab Induces Histological Remission and Deep Kidney Parenchymal B-Cell Depletion in Patients with Lupus Nephritis: Exploratory Analyses of the Phase III REGENCY Trial

Objectives The REGENCY trial ( NCT04221477 ) demonstrated superiority of obinutuzumab (OBI) plus standard therapy (+ST) vs placebo (PBO) +ST in achieving complete renal response (CRR) at Week 76 (W76) in adults with active lupus nephritis (LN). These exploratory analyses aimed to...
