Real-time invasion dynamics reveal the drivers of predator spread and prey extirpation on an island

Abstract Non-native predators profoundly restructure island biological communities worldwide, yet their management is hindered by limited empirical understanding of the dynamics of predator spread and prey extirpation. Here, we integrate two decades of field surveys, citizen-scie...

Identification of a pathogenic fungus from naturally diseased Bidens pilosa

A pathogenic fungal strain was isolated from naturally diseased B. pilosa leaves collected in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, China. The strain was identified as Pilidium acerinum based on morphological characteristics and ITS rDNA sequence analysis. The ITS sequence was extracted f...

Discovery of antibacterial and antifungal peptides in the pig microbiome

Novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) needed to combat bacterial and fungal diseases as well as emerging antibacterial and antifungal drug resistance. Characterization of the structural and functional features of the pig gut microbiota improves our understanding of small open readi...

A comparative evaluation of deep learning architectures, loss functions, and ensemble strategies for underwater fish species classification

Abstract The accurate classification of underwater fish species is important for biodiver-sity monitoring, sustainable fisheries management, and aquaculture. However, underwater fish classification remains challenging due to class imbalance, varying imaging conditions, and high v...

Qudit W and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states on a two-photon chip

Abstract High-dimensional quantum entangled states exhibit unique properties. While generalizations like qudit Bell, Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ), and Cluster states have been studied, the qudit W states remain underexplored. We discover that a superposition of qudit Dicke s...

DOCC Documentation and Object Context Compilation

DOCC — Documentation and Object Context Compilation represents the current and canonical documentation and input-data module of the integrated IAS-DX framework for deep excavations. The framework consolidates and reorganises the technical content developed through the earlier KIB...

SETTLE Settlement Effects, Trough Topology and Local Evolution Assessment

This paper presents SETTLE — Settlement Effects, Trough Topology and Local Evolution Assessment, the current terrain-side assessment module of the integrated IAS-DX framework for deep excavations. SETTLE represents the current and canonical methodological development of the earli...

Phylogenomics of Manticorini tiger beetles supports ancient Gondwanan vicariance and recent American amphitropical disjunction

Abstract Disjunct distributions have long fascinated biologists, particularly those found in the Southern Hemisphere. Gondwanan vicariance has been invoked to explain these patterns, with relatively limited studies having phylogenetically tested this hypothesis. Another intriguin...

“AI’s Good, but People Have Hearts”: Artificial Intelligence in Data-Driven Journalism in Ghanaian Newsrooms

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers tremendous potential to advance data journalism by empowering journalists to analyse massive datasets and produce insights for investigative reporting. Through the lens of the technology acceptance model and the social construction of technolog...

HOUSEHOLD WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH THE MARKISA WASTE BANK IN TANAH KALIKEDINDING VILLAGE, SURABAYA CITY

Abstract Household waste remains a pressing urban problem in Indonesia, and Surabaya, as one of the largest waste generating cities in East Java, faces mounting pressure to manage domestic waste at its source. This study examines the implementation of household waste management p...

The Möbius and Klein Transforms: Spectral Analysis on Non-Orientable Manifolds

The classical Fourier transform is the harmonic analysis of the circle (and torus) – an orientable manifold. This article develops a concept: in analogy with the Fourier transform, we define two named, closed-form, unitary transform pairs on the two simplest non-orientable manifo...

Stomata Geometry as Photomask Pattern for Microscale Lithography: A Biomimetic Template Proposal for MEMS, Microfluidics, and Light-Gated Device Fabrication

This technical note presents plant stomata geometry as an original, pre-optimized biomimetic pattern source for microscale lithographic photomasks. Bridging plant cell biology and microfabrication, it outlines how parameterized 2D stomatal footprints can be deployed in MEMS, micr...

Grounding Quantum-Geometry Dynamics: A Program for the Empirical Derivation of the Framework's Fundamental Constants

Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) is an axiomatic framework for physics built from two axioms: that space is constituted by discrete fundamental volumetric units called preons(−), and that matter is constituted by kinetic preons(+) each carrying constant intrinsic momentum c̃. From...

Structural Coarsening and Compatible Representations: A Formal Framework for Transformation Classes, Invariants, and Quotient Partitions

Many systems studied in science are accessible only indirectly, through partial measurements, reconstruction procedures, and model-dependent representations. This preprint develops a formal framework for determining which structural distinctions are supported by a specified opera...

Single-Chain Persistence Theory I: The Persistence Chain — From Genes to Memes (A Unified Inductive Framework from the Origin of Earth Life to Human Civilization)

We present Volume I of the Single-Chain Persistence Theory (SCPT-I): the evolutionary history of Earth life can be uniformly summarized as the persistence of a host-transiting information structure — the persistence chain — carried successively by genes (since ~4.0 Ga) and by mem...
