Abstract Post-treatment HIV controllers (PTC) offer a unique opportunity to uncover the determinants of durable remission after antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption. Here, using six PTC and six post-treatment non-controllers from the pVISCONTI study in cynomolgus macaques, w...

Termites play a crucial role in forming major tropical soils: insights from a deep Ferralsol
Abstract Soil bioturbation is increasingly recognized as a key driver of pedogenesis in tropical ecosystems, influencing above- and below-ground biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and aggregate stability across different spatial and temporal scales. This ecological process may play...

On the effects of using nonlinear springs in mono-coupled periodic structures
Abstract Many strategies are employed to control structural vibration. One of them is to design structural elements in a periodic arrangement to obtain the so-called bandgap effect. For infinite periodic structures, bandgaps are defined as frequency ranges where waves do not prop...

Sciomyzidae (Diptera) larvae live as predators and/or parasitoids of snails. They have potential economic importance as biological control agents against gastropods that are vectors of parasitic diseases. In the present study, the use of Sepedon larvae in schistosomiasis control...

The rise of carnivoran mammals in Europe through the lens of body mass
Carnivoran mammals (cats, dogs, bears, seals, etc.) and their kin radiated during the Palaeogene, among other carnivorous clades (hyaenodonts, mesonychians, and oxyaenodonts). This radiation has often been framed as a competition ultimately won by carnivorans, but the data suppor...

The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of three-dimensional fractional-order viscoelastic sandwich plates. Based on the fractional Kelvin–Voigt constitutive relation, the governing equations involving the spatial variables $(x,y,z)$ and the temp...

Abstract The growing demand for critical raw materials to support carbon-neutral energy and transportation systems motivates the exploration of deep-seated (500–4000 m) mineral deposits. While electrical resistivity is a key parameter for identifying mineralization, imaging these...
