Hidden diversity and complex transmission networks of Taeniidae and Dipylidiidae tapeworms in the Western Balkans revealed by mitochondrial markers

Abstract Background Cestodes of the families Taeniidae and Dipylidiidae constitute a neglected but epidemiologically important group of parasites, including species of veterinary and zoonotic relevance. In the Western Balkans, their molecular epidemiology, host range, and transmi...

Multisoliton Solutions and Blow Up for the $$L^2$$-Critical Hartree Equation

Abstract We construct multisoliton solutions for the $$L^2$$ L 2 -critical Hartree equation with trajectories asymptotically obeying a many-body law for an inverse square potential. More precisely, we consider the m -body hyperbolic and parabolic non-trapped dynamics. The pseudo-...

How transgender, gender diverse (TGD) and cisgender youth cope with daily stress: Insights from an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

This study investigated gender minority stress (GMS), coping, and mental health in trans, gender diverse (TGD) and cis youth in Germany and Austria and explored immediate effects of coping on stress in daily life. A 14-day Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) study containing th...

Enhanced Line Search Improves Robustness and Efficiency of Pose Sampling in Protein–Ligand Docking

Abstract Physics-based protein–ligand docking critically depends on efficient pose sampling, yet established sampling and local refinement algorithms can be inefficient and unstable in the highly nonconvex energy landscapes characteristic of protein–ligand interactions. To addres...

Spatial heterogeneity in post-fire permafrost evolution as revealed by satellite radar observations

Abstract. Wildfires, which have profound impacts on permafrost environments, are expected to increase in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change. This study aims to enhance our understanding of how wildfires affect permafrost by investigating multiple Arctic tundra...

Rothe Time Discretization and Weak Solutions for a Cutoff Westervelt System

ABSTRACT We study a fully implicit Rothe time discretization for a cutoff first‐order formulation of the Westervelt equation. The key ingredients are the enthalpy variable and the primitive mobility variable, which turn each nonlinear time step into a uniformly monotone elliptic...

Decoupling of emigration timing and skill acquisition in a saturated population of golden eagles

Abstract Many animals must gain independence from parental care by acquiring skills necessary for survival. Thus, the rate of skill acquisition can predict when parental care ends and animals emigrate. However, young animals sometimes acquire adult-like skills long before they em...

Extending SHARC to Periodic Systems: A SHARC–VASPInterface for First-Principles Nonadiabatic Dynamics

Abstract Nonadiabatic effects arising from the breakdown of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation govern a wide range of photoinduced processes in molecules and materials. While trajectory surface hopping has become a standard tool for simulating excited-state dynamics in molecular...

Reconstructing pharyngealized vowels for Qieyun Division II in Middle Chinese

Abstract It is widely accepted that Middle Chinese Division II, a syllable category in Middle Chinese, originates from the Old Chinese medial *-r-, yet its reconstruction remains debated. Existing proposals assign Division II a palatal, velar, or r-colored feature or segment. Bui...

Symbolic Capital or Social Glue? Recognition in Collaborative High-Energy Physics Research

A trend towards more and larger research collaborations in the sciences raises questions about how individual scientists who work primarily in collaborations receive recognition. Experimental high-energy physics is known for exceptionally large research collaborations, with publi...

Equivalent Numeric Approved Identity of Passport and Immigration Papers -- The Next Generation Identification Program (NGI) [A Short Introduction]

We express an interest to Equivalent Numeric Approved Identity of Passport and Immigration Papers. [We are making a submission to the Journal of Banking and Financial Technology].

Dynamical properties of ab initio water from machine-learning potentials

We assess the dynamical properties of liquid water predicted by several density functionals using machine-learning interatomic potentials. MACE models were trained for SCAN, RPBE-D3/zd, revPBE-D3/zd, revPBE0-D3/BJ, PBE0-D3/zd, and PBE0-D3/BJ using previously reported ab initio da...

Labeling of PET and PP nanoplastic test materials with non-leachable π-conjugated fluorescent polymers

<title>Abstract</title> Micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) particles are widely present in nature, mainly due to the extensive overuse of single-use plastics combined with poor waste management. Despite the diversity in the environment, many experimental studies still rely almost exclu...

The chromosomal genome sequence of Loripinus fragilis (R.A.Philippi, 1836) (Lucinida: Lucinidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences

<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns5:italic>Loripinus fragilis</ns5:italic> (Mollusca; Bivalvia; Lucinida; Lucinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 987.46 megabases. Most of the assembly (92.76%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolec...

Game Developments [Simulation and Convergence Scenarios]

There are tools to fastly simulate the Universe in Diverse Scenarios : among those tools, are mainly the Game Development tools. We will introduce few notes about them.

Speciation,Protein Binding, Biotransformation, andCytotoxicity of a VV–Lactate Complex

Abstract We studied the speciation, protein binding, biotransformation, and cytotoxicity of the dioxidovanadium(V) lactate complex Cs2[VV2O4(lact)2]·2H2O and compared the results with those obtained for the analogous malate compound. 51V NMR and ESI-MS results show that Cs2[VV2O4...

Widespread thermophilization but weak link to climate warming in Europe’s summit plant communities

Abstract Recent changes in alpine vegetation are often attributed to climate warming, particularly community composition shifts towards more warmth-associated species, or thermophilization. Here we assess the link between thermophilization and warming across 53 European mountain...

Anchors for Homology-Based Scaffolding

Homology-based scaffolding orders contigs based on conserved collinearity of homologous sequences across related species. Existing methods often rely on costly whole-genome alignments or show limited robustness when integrating multiple references. Here, we introduce an anchor-ba...

Histological aging signatures for monitoring tissue-specific aging and disease

Aging is the primary risk factor for chronic disease and is characterized by profound structural and architectural remodeling of human tissues. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of these changes using 25,712 whole-slide histopathological images from 40 tissue types acro...

Glimpse into the past: Analyses of the middle and inner ear of extinct rodents (Eusciurida; Rodentia; Mammalia) with implications for their locomotory behaviour

Abstract Rodentia is the most diverse and species-rich group of mammals, inhabiting almost all regions and ecosystems on earth. One of the most specialised subgroups is the Eusciurida, composed of Sciuridae, Gliridae, and Aplodontia rufa , and characterised by arboreal, fossorial...
