Epibenthic habitats of the lower mesophotic zone off western Kangaroo Island, South Australia

Context Mesophotic temperate habitats are among the world’s most poorly studied ecosystems, yet they support a wide range of ecosystem services, including fisheries production. Aims In this study, we aimed to compare the epibenthic communities occurring on mesophotic plain v. ree...

Natural and CRISPR /Cas9 Editing Variations of Dual‐ uORFs Synergistically Increase the Nutritional Value of Silage Maize Feed

The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) wit...

Donor-SetSwitching in Morpholine-Functionalized 8-Hydroxyquinolines:Consequences for Metal Binding and the Bioactivity of RhCp* Complexes

Abstract Morpholine-functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) derivatives with reduced Schiff base linkers, Morph-Et-HQ and Morph-Pr-HQ, were synthesized and comprehensively characterized to investigate the influence of linker length on donor-set preference, metal binding, and the b...

Substrate and Species Identity Shape Bacterial Communities Within Myxomycete Fruiting Bodies

Myxomycete fruiting bodies are closely associated with bacteria, but the mechanisms shaping the bacterial communities remain unclear. We compared bacterial communities in fruiting bodies of four myxomycete species and their paired wood substrates using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequ...

Machine Learning-GuidedRational Design of Dual-SiteCatalysts for Synergistic CO2-to-CO Photoreductionand Antibiotic Degradation

Abstract Rising atmospheric CO2 levels and pervasive pharmaceutical wastewater contamination are two pressing global environmental challenges. Integrating CO2 reduction with the organic pollutant degradation in a single photocatalytic system is an attractive strategy for collabor...

Challenges and needs of people living with diabetes in self-management in Ethiopia: A qualitative exploration

Abstract Background Diabetes is unique due to its cross-cutting nature, impacting multiple organ systems and increasing the risk for other communicable and non-communicable diseases if not managed properly. Managing diabetes involves frequent blood glucose measurement, medication...

Lateral violence and its relationship with intention to quit among emergency department nurses at Ardabil Medical Training Centers

Abstract Purpose Lateral violence among nurses is a critical workplace issue that threatens nurse well-being, patient safety, and staff retention. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of lateral violence and its relationship with intention to quit among emergency department...

Scalar position characteristics and translocation rates of different lateral wall electrodes within the cochlear basal turn: a cone beam computed tomography study

PURPOSE: This retrospective study systematically compared scalar position characteristics and translocation (STL) rates within the cochlear basal turn (CBT) across three different lateral wall (LW) electrodes. METHODS: The study included 148 morphologically normal cochleae implan...

Enantiodivergent Carbon–PhosphorusBond Formationvia Enzymatic Carbene Insertion

Abstract Phosphorus is one of the six elements of life, yet enzymatic carbon–phosphorus (C–P) bond formation is exceedingly rare in nature. This gap in the biosynthetic toolkit is particularly consequential, given the prominence of stereogenic-at-phosphorus P(V) scaffolds in phar...

Evaluating the Role of MIA3 Variant rs17465637 in Coronary Artery Disease: A Comprehensive Case–Control Analysis

Objectives: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet population-specific evidence regarding the contribution of MIA3 genetic variation in Middle Eastern populations remains limited. This study investigated the association of...

Defining Language Profiles in Young Autistic Children Across Verbal, Speaking, and Generative Dimensions

Language trajectories in autism are highly heterogeneous and cannot be captured by unidimensional classifications. Research and clinical practice often rely on verbal/non-verbal or speaking/non-speaking labels, but these categories, when used in isolation, obscure distinct lingui...

Enhancing Transportation Supply Chain Resilience Through HR Practices: A Task-Typed Reasoning Module-Enhanced RAG Expert System Framework

The transportation sector faces growing supply chain disruptions driven by workforce shortages, digital skills gaps, and weak cultural readiness for risk. Human Resource Management (HRM) offers a credible path toward stronger supply chain resilience (SCR), yet existing decision s...

Predictive Value of Imaging Indicators for Disease Progression in Acute Stanford Type B Aortic Intramural Hematoma Without Ulcer-like Lesions

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical outcomes of acute Stanford type B intramural hematoma (TBIMH) without ulcer-like lesions following medical management and to identify predictors of disease progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients...

Molecular-level insight into water adsorption and projected atmospheric water harvesting performance in a hydrolytically stable MOF

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) promises a solution to the global challenge of water scarcity and, despite the increasing number of promising AWH materials, there remains a need for insight into pore-filling mechanisms and the hydrolytic stability of such desicc...

Spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation microphysical characteristics over the Tianshan Mountains based on GPM/DPR observations

Using monthly mean Level-3 GPM/DPR products from March 2014 to February 2023, this study systematically investigates the spatial distribution, vertical structure, and microphysical characteristics of stratiform and convective precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains. The results...

Exogenous Melatonin Compensates for Moderate Nitrogen Reduction in Upland Rice by Optimizing Leaf Nitrogen Allocation and Photosynthetic Metabolism

ABSTRACT Moderate nitrogen (N) reduction can lower production costs in upland rice but may constrain photosynthesis, N assimilation, and yield formation. Melatonin has the potential to regulate photosynthesis and nutrient metabolism; however, whether it improves the effectiveness...

Type II achalasia unmasked by EndoFLIP and high‐resolution manometry in a child with eosinophilic esophagitis

ABSTRACT Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune‐mediated disease characterized by esophageal dysfunction and eosinophilic inflammation. Persistent dysphagia despite histologic remission should prompt evaluation for alternative etiologies. A 10‐year‐old male with asthm...

Streptomyces Extracellular Vesicles Promote Plant Defence Responses Through Direct Pathogen Inhibition and Immune Activation

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in mediating the transfer of bioactive nucleic acids and proteins between plants and pathogens. However, the involvement of EVs in interactions between plants and beneficial bacteria remains poorly understood. In this study, we is...
