Abstract Background Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are a key tool for control and elimination of malaria, by providing protection from the bite of infected mosquitoes. To support its malaria elimination goal by 2030, Gujarat distributed LLINs across 33 districts in 2019....

Hunting birds for food, but not sport, associated with poorer conservation status
Human uses of birds may contribute to extinction risk, but it remains unclear whether different uses have variable impacts on bird conservation status. We analysed use and trade data from 3523 bird species accounts in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List to...

BioEMMA: Automated Generation of Model-Specific Escher-Compatible Maps from KEGG Pathways
Genome-scale metabolic models are widely used to investigate cellular metabolism, but their interpretation and comparison are limited by the lack of reproducible pathway-level visualizations with a common spatial organization. This study presents BioEMMA, a Python-based tool for...

The Concealed Information Test (CIT) detects whether an individual recognizes crime-relevant information, and eye tracking has been proposed as a non-invasive method for detecting this recognition. It remains unclear, however, whether individuals who are motivated to conceal thei...

Monitoring EML4-ALK Biomarkers via a Microfluidic Assay for Treatment Efficacy Assessment
Monitoring prognostic biomarkers is essential for evaluating cancer treatment efficacy in real time. Here, we present a rapid, proof-of-concept microfluidic assay for cancer biomarker quantification and functional therapy evaluation. The assay requires only 5 µL of sample, elimin...

Exploring corporate and product-level associations in the motorcycle industry
Purpose This study aims to clarify the relationship between brand-attribute associations and brand loyalty in the context of Japanese motorcycle manufacturers and their products. By distinguishing manufacturer- and product-related associations, it investigates how different level...

Shallow landslides triggered by extreme rainfall often occur abruptly and show pronounced spatial clustering. Accurate representation of rainfall conditions is therefore important for event-based landslide hazard assessment. This study investigated shallow landslides triggered by...

In this work, we develop, from first principles, a discrete oscillation theory for second-order nonlinear advanced difference equations with several deviating arguments, Δr(n)(Δy(n))α+∑i=1mqi(n)Fy(σi(n))=0,σi(n)≥n, studied under the canonical condition ∑s=n0∞r−1/α(s)=∞. This equa...

In this paper, we propose an efficient numerical method to solve initial-boundary value problems of Caputo fractional subdiffusion equations with a class of source terms weakly singular in time. To do this, we firstly derive fractional Volterra integro-differential equations equi...

Abstract The fashion industry, a leading contributor to carbon emissions, faces sustainability challenges despite extensive adoption of circular economy (CE) principles in the literature. While cradle-to-cradle (C2C) and closed-loop systems (CLS) are also corresponding pillars fo...

Deer Imagery in Deer Stones and Animal-Style Bronze Artifacts
Abstract As a central symbolic motif in the ancient art of the Eurasian Steppe, the deer developed into a distinctive visual and symbolic system from the Late Bronze Age to the Xiongnu period. Deer imagery provides an important perspective for understanding the spiritual world, r...

Background/Objectives: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype with limited targeted therapeutic options. Although the anticancer and pro-apoptotic properties of boswellic acids have previously been reported, the interaction profile of chemical...

The Hendra virus (HeV; Henipavirus hendraense) and Nipah virus (NiV; Henipavirus nipahense), members of the genus Henipavirus, are high-consequence pathogens that have caused multiple zoonotic outbreaks with high mortality. Frequently, pigs or horses have acted as bridging hosts...
