Frugal Innovation as an Environmentally Oriented Business Strategy: The Roles of Servant Leadership and Organizational Learning Capability

ABSTRACT This study examines how firms develop frugal innovation as an environmentally oriented business strategy that combines competitiveness with lower resource intensity. Drawing on sustainable business strategy research and using degrowth as an interpretive lens rather than...

RAP2.3 Is Required for MYB51 and SIGMA3 Expression During the Response of Arabidopsis thaliana to Multifactorial Stress Combination

ABSTRACT In nature, plants are subjected to multiple environmental stress factors simultaneously or sequentially. Recent studies revealed that when three or more stress factors impact a plant simultaneously (termed ‘multifactorial stress combination’; MFSC), plant survival declin...

The emergence of egocentric biases when comparing others is independent of whether groups or individuals are being compared

Abstract Flexible social comparisons require transforming information across reference frames, a process thought to depend on map-like computations in the hippocampal formation. Previous work has shown that egocentric social biases—an implicit reliance on self-knowledge—emerge wh...

Microbial metabolite p-cresol associates with constipation in adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and induces constipation-like symptoms in mice

Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are prevalent in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), yet their biological correlates remain poorly understood, notably in adults. The microbiota-derived metabolite p- cresol is reported to be elevated in the urine and stool of ASD patients, but...

Beyond the Ohmic Limit: Co-Ion Control and Conductance Scaling Regimes in Rectifying Nanochannels

Abstract The power-law scaling of ionic conductance G ∼ cα serves as a fundamental probe of transport physics in confined geometries, where transport is traditionally restricted to sublinear regimes (α < 1) governed by majority counterions. While current rectification is widely e...

A First-Principles Study of Surface-Dependent Synergy between H2O and O2 on Silver-Based Oxide Semiconductors

Abstract Silver-based ternary oxides, including Ag3PO4, β-Ag2MoO4, and the α- and γ-Ag2WO4 polymorphs, are promising photocatalysts for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work, density functional theory calculations were employed to disclose the atomic site-specifi...

Genome-wide analysis of social behaviour across social domains, reporters and developmental stages: a meta-regression approach

Abstract Social behaviour is a heritable trait linked to well-being and mental health, yet it varies across social context, including social domains, informants and development, which may shape its underlying genomic architecture. Here, we conducted a genome-wide meta-regression...

Tailoring Excitons, Biexcitons, and Trions Dynamics in CdSe/CdS Dot-in-Rod Nanomaterials for Light-Emitting Devices

Abstract CdSe-based core−shell nanomaterials offer the possibility of manipulating exciton dynamics and multi-exciton interactions by controlling the core and shell morphologies. In this context, CdSe/CdS dot-in-rod nanostructure (DiR) has emerged as an interesting class of nanom...

Understanding the Exposed Area Dependent Photoelectrochemical Performance of BiVO4 Photoanodes

Abstract To enable meaningful comparisons in solar fuel production, the energy conversion efficiency of photoelectrodes must be evaluated using standardized benchmarking protocols. For solar water splitting, the photocurrent density at a defined potential in a three-electrode con...

Improved nanoparticle productivity via flat-top 49-beam nanosecond pulsed laser ablation in liquids

Abstract Pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) is a versatile and environmentally friendly technique for producing surfactant-free, high-purity nanoparticles (NPs) suitable for applications in catalysis and biomedicine. However, its industrial scalability is limited by low thro...

Linking Life Cycle Thinking Science and Practice: A Comprehensive Sustainability Assessment Tool for Food Loss and Waste Prevention and Reduction Actions

Food loss and waste prevention and reduction (FLWPR) initiatives are key for advancing sustainable agri-food systems. Yet, organizations are under growing pressure to implement data-driven sustainability management practices, while existing assessment tools often prove analytical...

Quantifying the Photoelectrochemically Active Surface Area for Oxygen Evolution Metal Oxide Photoelectrocatalysts

Abstract Nanostructuring is established as a photoelectrode performance enhancing route for solar-driven catalytic processes. However, it is often unclear to what extent the increase in photoelectrode physical surface area directly results in a commensurate increase in photoelect...

Unconventional Biexciton Dynamics in Superradiant Perovskite Quantum Dots Driven by Many‐Body Correlations

ABSTRACT Excitons and biexcitons emission traits, for example, quantum yield, lifetime, and coherence, govern device performance metrics including brightness, optical gain thresholds, and the efficiency of single‐ and entangled‐photon generation. Biexcitons are conventionally und...

Reaction buttons as backchannels

Abstract In spoken conversation, backchannels — responses like mhm , oh , wow — serve interpersonal and organizational roles, investing in rapport and helping order turns. Backchannels have also been found to arise in digital messaging. Additionally, in recent years, private mess...

Identification of cellular double-stranded RNAs in mammalian embryonic stem cells

Abstract Antiviral defence mechanisms are typically activated upon sensing virus-derived nucleic acids. During replication, viruses generate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) intermediates that the innate immune system can sense, triggering several defence pathways. Conversely, mammali...

Getting ready for outdoors: Biohardening boosts banana plantlet performance and induced resistance to Fusarium wilt (Subtropical Race 4)

The use of beneficial microorganisms during the acclimatization of micropropagated plants represents a promising biotechnological tool to improve plant establishment and enhance protection against soil pathogens under field conditions. This study explores the potential of a mycor...

Excitonic Structure in CsPbBr3 Nanocubes,Nanorods, and Nanoplatelets: The Effect of Dimensionality

Abstract We present a theoretical study comparing the excitonic ground-state properties of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals with different dimensionality: nanorods (quasi-1D), nanoplatelets (quasi-2D), and nanocubes (quasi-3D). All three systems are described on an equal footing, by means of...

Species-dependent wiring of jasmonate signalling determines pine defence efficiency against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Abstract Pine wilt disease, caused by the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus , poses a serious threat to pine forests worldwide, yet the hormonal and metabolic mechanisms that determine whether a pine species succumbs to or tolerates infection remain poorly understood....
