Psychosocial, relational and structural determinants of integrated pest management adoption in OECD countries: a scoping review

Abstract To reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, it is necessary to understand the factors underlying their use and the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) among farmers. To achieve this, this study relied on a scoping review carried out following the PRISMA-ScR guide...

Optimizing diphenyl(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide concentration and post‐curing time to balance mechanical properties and color stability in a three‐dimensional‐printed restorative resin

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) printing is widely used in dental restorations; however, optimization of photoinitiator concentration and post‐curing protocols remains critical to achieve a balance between mechanical and esthetic performance. This study evaluated the combined eff...

Dairy and plant-based beverages purchased by Canadian households between 2018 and 2020

Canada's food guide (CFG), updated in 2019, recommends choosing lower fat milk, fortified plant-based milk alternatives, and unsweetened beverages. This study examined trends in household purchases of dairy and plant-based beverages (PBBs), following CFG release, as well as price...

Building a Stack for Systems Deployment

Microbiological and genomic approaches to study and characterize co- and cross-resistance to antimicrobial peptides in Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19,111 variants

Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides are considered a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for controlling Listeria monocytogenes , a major foodborne pathogen. However, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, including co- and cross-resistance between struct...

The Universe Is A Program, Representations Issues (Version I)

The goal of this paper is to Compose new methods and processes. The Universe as a Program is a reprensentation to start composing all of existing and living entities (in the Universe). We argue important representations issues. Many new findings will be presented.

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) in Smart Farming: A Bibliometric Analysis and Future Research Agenda

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), which refers to the combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), has become an important research area in smart farming. Although the literature on AIoT has expanded rapidly, little is known about its over...

UnlockingSimple Hydroboranes for Selective C–HBorylation of (Hetero)arenes

Abstract Control of borane speciation through Me2PhN·BH3 formation enables HBcat-mediated, metal-free C–H borylation of (hetero)arenes via an electrophilic aromatic substitution pathway. The process operates without external catalysts or additives and provides a sustainable platf...

A Comparative Assessment of Alternative Approaches to Tree Diameter Increment Modelling

Tree diameter increment data are often characterized by skewness and heteroscedasticity. Increments can also be so small that null values are recorded in the field. Several modelling approaches exist to tackle these issues. We compared four approaches to diameter at breast height...

Occupational exposure to pesticides increases the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective To systematically review the evidence on the association between occupational exposure to pesticides and the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods A systematic search, conducted in eight bibliographic databases for publications between 1990 and 2025, iden...

Tuning out emotional distractors by tuning in theta rhythm: improving visual working memory using TMS

The relation between attentional control and visual working memory (vWM) has previously been studied with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). For example, it has been shown that rhythmic TMS (rhTMS) can enhance attentional control and, consequently, vWM performance, by boost...
