Airborne measurements of turbulence and cloud microphysics during PaCE 2022 using the Advanced Max Planck CloudKite Instrument (MPCK + )

Abstract. This paper presents the data set collected with the Advanced Max Planck CloudKite instrument (MPCK+) during the Pallas Cloud Experiment (PaCE), conducted at Pallas, Finland, between September 19 and September 26, 2022. The data set includes measurements of turbulence, w...

MnBn(CO)5-Catalyzed Cascade C–H Activation/Annulation to Construct Bridged N -Heterocycles

Abstract Herein, a manganese-catalyzed synthesis of bridged heterocycles via a C–H activation/annulation cascade between azomethine imines and Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts is described. MnBn(CO)5 serves as a highly active catalyst, exhibiting unique and remarkable capability in...

Geothermal implications of the lithosphere's thermal structure in northern Pakistan

Abstract. Conventional geothermal resources are typically associated with volcanically active plate boundaries, yet collisional orogens can also sustain elevated heat flow through radiogenic enrichment, crustal thickening, and rapid exhumation. Northern Pakistan, encompassing the...

Double periodicity of the AnkyrinG-associated complex in the axon initial segment

The axon initial segment (AIS), situated within the first 20 to 60 µm of the axon, is essential for action potential generation and maintenance of axonal identity [M. N. Rasband, Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 11 , 552–562 (2010)]. Its structure relies on the beta (β)-IV-spectrin/AnkyrinG (...

Transient-Directing Group-Enabled Manganese-Catalyzed C–H Alkylation

Abstract The construction of C–C bonds by manganese-catalyzed C–H activation thus far relies on permanent directing groups that need to be installed and removed, while the use of transient directing groups remains an elusive challenge. In sharp contrast, we herein describe a mang...

‘Mein Name ist Ausländer’. The Semra Effect in academia. Resisting symbolic and epistemic violence by applying Translingual Practice

This study connects feminist epistemologies – examined through an intersectional lens – with migration, identity, and translanguaging studies. By moving from personal experience to analytical insight and employing institutional ethnography, I collect and interpret data. I utilise...

Cytokinins Promote Rust Susceptibility in Poplar by Suppressing Defence Signalling, Reducing Defence Accumulation and Reprogramming Primary Metabolism

ABSTRACT Cytokinins (CKs), classically recognised as plant growth regulators, are increasingly implicated in plant‐microbe interactions. Studies in herbaceous plants suggest that CKs can function as signalling molecules with dual roles in plant defence, either restricting or faci...

Land use intensification results in abrupt transitions between extensively and intensively managed grasslands

Abstract Understanding whether land use intensification causes regime shifts (i.e. persistent, large changes in ecosystem states) is of key importance for management, particularly if these shifts occur abruptly as thresholds in land use intensity are crossed. Further, these thres...

Using multi-trait polygenic scores to predict lithium responsiveness in patients with bipolar disorder

Background The predictive power of polygenic scores (PGSs) for lithium treatment response in bipolar disorder remains limited. Aims To enhance the prediction of lithium responsiveness by developing a multi-trait PGS (mt-PGS) combining genetic information from multiple phenotypes...

Mastodon: the command center for large-scale lineage-tracing microscopy datasets

Understanding development in living organisms requires following the divisions, movements, and fates of cells. While advances in microscopy have enabled whole-embryo imaging at the cellular level, extracting and analyzing cell lineages from these massive datasets remains a signif...

Alpine forest genomics—advances in the research field and perspectives ahead

Abstract Key message Alpine or mountainous forest genomics research is rapidly moving from classic population genetic studies toward exploring population environmental adaptation to address climate vulnerabilities. For alpine conifers in particular, future progress in sustainable...

Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index and Risk Stratification in Advanced Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome

Importance Risk stratification in advanced mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) remains suboptimal given that current TNMB (tumor, node, metastasis, blood) staging has limited prognostic value for clinically relevant outcomes. Objective To determine whether the Cutaneous...

YtrG is a functional part of the ytrGABCDEF operon and contributes to phenotypic heterogeneity in Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT The Bacillus subtilis ytrGABCDEF operon consists of the transcriptional repressor YtrA, the ATP-binding cassette transporter subunits YtrB, YtrC, YtrD, YtrE, and YtrF, likely forming two distinct transmembrane complexes (YtrB 2 CD and YtrE 2 F 2 ), and the small monotopi...

Hop ( Humulus lupulus L.) Residual Biomass: Attributes, Past Experiences and Opportunities for Future Utilization

Hop (Humulus lupulus L.), a perennial climber plant, has a significant agricultural and industrial presence, primarily valued for its cones in the beer brewing industry. However, the residual biomass, comprising leaves and bines, is often underutilized. Research has highlighted t...

Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary estimates of a multimodal AKTIVER Heart Delirium Prevention Program in patients indicated for cardiac surgery: study protocol of a randomized controlled PREVENT POstoperative Delirium (PREVENT-POD) Pilot Study

Abstract Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in geriatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. POD is associated with prolonged length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital, increased mortality, institutionalization, distress, risk of cognit...

Shaped by humans but increasingly threatened: pathways for the conservation of Palaearctic grasslands

Palaearctic grasslands are among the most species-rich ecosystems of the Northern Hemisphere, but their conservation depends on continued management that must be reconciled with agricultural production, rural livelihoods and other socio-economic demands. Introducing a special iss...

Claws, consequences and coexistence: Local community attitudes toward large carnivores in mountain landscapes

Abstract Human attitudes toward large carnivores are shaped by multiple interrelated socio-psychological factors, yet conservation interventions often focus on reducing material impacts while paying less attention to underlying attitude drivers. We investigated attitudes towards...

When incentives change: Career considerations, pollution control, and employment outcomes

This study examines how career concerns influence industrial firms’ pollution emissions and employment. We provide compelling evidence that the new promotion evaluation system (NPES) effectively reduces SO2 emissions but also significantly decreases corporate employment. More spe...

Visible Light-Harvesting Dinuclear Chromium(III) Complex with Anthracene-Based Phosphorescence for Photon Upconversion and Photocatalysis

Abstract Luminescent 3d3 chromium(III) complexes are emerging as highly attractive, earth-abundant alternatives to precious 4d or 5d metal complexes in photophysical and photochemical applications. However, the Laporte-forbidden nature of their d–d transitions in the visible regi...

Interdisciplinary modelling approaches for One Health in agri-food systems: a scoping review and conceptual analysis

Abstract Background Increasingly, the One Health approach must be applied to a changing food system to simultaneously support nutritional, infectious disease, and environmental outcomes. Successful interventions by public health authorities will require quantitative modelling for...
