Bony labyrinth taxonomic identification and long-term evolution of livestock in the Southwest and Central Asia

Abstract Southwest and Central Asia were pivotal regions for the domestication and dispersal of domestic herbivores. Here we investigate long-term variation in bony labyrinth morphology of domestic bovids (sheep, goats and cattle) across the last 10 000 years. We focused on the o...

Amphiphilic Ionic Polyethylene Wax with Exceptional Interfacial Activity for Demulsification of Water-in-Crude-Oil Emulsions

Abstract As energy consumption globally keeps increasing, refining better and more efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, especially those with surfactants, will be crucial to sustain future energy demand. Such advances will not just increase the economic viability of oil...

Room-temperature mechanical and electronic transport properties in locally strained graphene devices during crack propagation

This study investigates the mechanical and electronic transport properties of zigzag graphene devices (ZGDs) and armchair graphene devices (AGDs) under local tensile strain at room-temperature using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with tight-binding (TB) and nonequil...

The Impact of Life Skills-Based Group Counseling on Sexual Intimacy Among Women of Reproductive Age with Low Sexual Intimacy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

= 0.001). The results suggest that life skills-based group counseling is associated with improved sexual intimacy among women of reproductive age who report low baseline sexual intimacy.

Homogenizer-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction followed by ion mobility spectrometry for the fluconazole determination in real samples

This study developed a new method based on homogenizer-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (HA-DLLME) followed by ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) for determining fluconazole in different samples. A homogenizer was used to disperse the extraction solvent, which has t...

Typology of transit-oriented development to promote sustainable urban structure

<title>Abstract</title> Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has emerged as a transformative strategy in sustainable urban planning, aiming to integrate land use and public transportation to foster compact, walkable, and mixed-use communities centered around high-capacity transit s...

Interactions of Multiple Curved Cracks in an FGP Strip: Mixed Mode Analysis

ABSTRACT This paper investigates multiple embedded curved cracks in a functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) strip. In order to compute Mode I/II stress intensity factors (SIFs) and electric displacement intensity factor (EDIF), distributed dislocation technique (DDT) is employe...

Transcriptomic changes in tomato plants infected with ToBRFV after cold air glow discharge plasma treatment

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging tobamovirus that poses a serious threat to global tomato production. In this study, we evaluated the potential of cold air glow discharge plasma (CAGDP) as a seed treatment to mitigate ToBRFV infection and induce systemic re...
