Histone deacetylation links jasmonic acid signaling to flower size control in rose

Abstract Flower size is a key ornamental trait in roses ( Rosa spp.), determined by coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and expansion. Although jasmonic acid (JA) influences plant growth, its role in flower size control remains unclear. Here, we showed that methyl jasmon...

URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE RENEWAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC REVITALIZATION IN ABA METROPOLIS, ABIA STATE, NIGERIA

This study examined the relationship between urban infrastructure renewal and socioeconomic revitalization in Aba Metropolis, Abia State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional mixed-method research design was adopted, combining a questionnaire survey with field observations and documentary...

Transformer-based emotion profiling and clustering of cybersickness narratives in Steam reviews of first-person virtual reality games

Cybersickness remains a persistent barrier in virtual reality (VR) gaming, yet how players emotionally frame discomfort in user-generated content is poorly understood. Prior large-scale analyses of Steam reviews have characterized emotional experience with a single polarity score...

Every Two-Vertex Premaniplex Is the Symmetry Type Graph of a Finite Abstract Polytope

For every rank r>=3, there are 2^r-1 connected two-vertex premaniplexes. We prove that every one of them is the full symmetry type graph of a finite abstract polytope. The main argument localizes the support of the recursive regular-polytopal voltage construction, treats arbitrar...

From Sealed to Anchored: What a Consortium Ledger Adds to HMAC-Sealed IoT Audit Logs in Ambient Assisted Living

A symmetric integrity seal is worth exactly what its key is worth. Any party holding the keyed-hash (HMAC) key of an Internet of Things (IoT) audit trail can forge a record, re-seal a modified one, and leave no cryptographic trace, so an HMAC-sealed log establishes nothing to an...

Alliance orientation and radical innovation of new ventures in emerging economies: The role of organizational agility and digital technology adoption

New ventures in emerging economies often face substantial challenges in pursuing radical innovation, particularly under conditions of resource scarcity and environmental volatility. Integrating dynamic capability theory with the capability hierarchy perspective, this study examin...

In-silico identification of SNPs associated with breast cancer for disclosing pathogenetic processes and therapeutic candidates

Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of premature death in women. However, researcher’s understanding of BC development, progression and its treatment strategies has not yet reached a satisfactory level. To address these issues, first, it is necessary to accurately identify the...

Sustainability of Scholarly Labour in a Billion‐Dollar Publishing Industry

Key Points Commercial scholarly publishing profits from unpaid peer‐review labour. Researchers and editors provide essential labour without compensation. Peer review is one of the largest forms of unrecognised scholarly labour. Publishers can afford to compensate reviewers. Revie...

Intranodal Embolization of Lymphocele Following Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Case Report

Postsurgical lymphocele is a rare complication following anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), for which ideal management remains controversial. Our study presents a case of a 70-year-old woman who underwent a multilevel anterior and posterior fusion from L3 to the pelvis with...

IFRS S1 and S2 Sustainability Standards and ESG Investment Outcomes: Empirical Evidence From Listed Companies in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT With the International Sustainability Standards Board's (ISSB's) release of IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability‐Related Financial Information) and S2 (Climate‐Related Disclosures), the global need to align corporate reporting with environmental...

Efficient One Pot Synthesis of 3-Methyl-4-(Hetero) Arylmethylene Isoxazole-5(4H)-Ones Derivatives Catalyzed by [EMIm][BH3CN] Ionic Liquid Under Reflux and Microwave Conditions

AbstractHere, we have developed an expeditious and efficient protocol for the synthesis of isoxazol-5(4H)-onederivatives catalysed by the ionic liquid [EMIm][BH3CN] using ethanol as a solvent under microwaveirradiation (MW, 240 W, 4–6 min) and conventional reflux conditions. The...

Digital Twins in Oncology: From Multimodal Data Integration to Precision Clinical Practice

Oncology digital twins are patient-specific computational models that are built by combining electronic health records, multiomics genomic data, and diagnostic imaging to simulate individual tumor biology and predict multiple treatment-related outcomes. Conceptually originated fr...

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) in Cardiovascular Risk of Obesity-Associated Diabetes

The dysregulation of immune homeostasis and the persistence of chronic, low-grade inflammation represent core pathophysiological drivers governing the onset and progression of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) comprise a highly heter...

Accuracy, Stability, and Convergence of Finite-Difference Schemes for the 1D Heat Equation

This independent Computational Mathematics and Scientific Computing project investigates the accuracy, stability, and convergence of finite-difference methods for the one-dimensional heat equation. The project implements the Forward Time Centered Space (FTCS) and Crank-Nicolson n...

The effect of surrounding topography on calculated solar gains in BEM using DEM-based terrain reproduction

This paper presents a methodology for integrating the orographic context of micro-locations into building energy modelling (BEM) for topographically diverse regions. Dynamic energy simulations rely on high-resolution weather data from weather stations that represent specific area...

Adverse health outcomes across the life course in individuals with six rare bone diseases: a 10-year population-based cohort study

Abstract Background Rare bone diseases comprise a heterogeneous group of complex and disabling conditions. Evidence on age-specific hospitalization patterns and in-hospital outcomes across multiple rare bone diseases is limited. Methods Population-based cohort study using nationa...

Assessing Land Cover Change and Forest Sustainability in a World Heritage Context: Evidence from the Okapi Wildlife Reserve

Long-term monitoring of land cover dynamics is essential for evaluating conservation outcomes in World Heritage sites, yet remains challenging in conflict-affected regions with limited field observations. This study aims to reconstruct annual land cover dynamics and assess forest...

Sustainable Solar Cabinet Dryers: A Review of Design Innovations, Thermal Storage Integration, Hybrid Systems, and Techno‐Environmental Assessment

ABSTRACT Although solar cabinet dryers (SCDs) represent an alternative to open sun drying (OSD) in the preservation of agricultural products, there are still challenges for SCDs such as the solar intermittency, unequal drying, and poor thermal efficiency. This systematic review b...

Explainable image aesthetic assessment via semantic segmentation-guided cross-attention fusion

Most existing image aesthetic assessment methods rely on global representations or simple aggregation of local features. This makes it difficult to model semantic region information and provide region-level explanations. To address this issue, we propose a Semantic Segmentation-G...
