The gut microbiome is known to be affected by factors in the host diet. In particular, dietary fiber intake is associated with changes to gut microbial diversity, as one of the key functions of the microbiota is to degrade non-digestible fibers into nutrients and beneficial compo...

Abstract Bi2Te3-based materials have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent thermoelectric performance at room temperature. However, the pulverization process during fabrication tends to introduce the donor-like effect, which significantly increases the carrier c...

Vegetation greening and abrupt permafrost thaw are reshaping sediment dynamics across the Tibetan Plateau, yet their relative effects on sediment delivery remain poorly quantified. Here we show that retrogressive thaw slumps are disproportionately important sediment sources, with...

AI can persuade people to take political actions
There is substantial concern about the ability of advanced AI to influence people’s behavior. A rapidly growing body of research has found that AI can produce large persuasive effects on people’s attitudes, but whether AI can persuade people to take consequential real-world actio...

The Protection of Refusal: On Disavowal in the Indian Ocean
Lauren Benton reminds us that to write about piracy as historians (and anthropologists) is to engage in projects of “myth-making and myth-busting.” As she notes, pirates are either imagined as “colorful rogues…inherently anti-authoritarian actors who possessed a penchant for expe...

Background: Medulloblastoma is a highly aggressive tumor, usually arising in the posterior fossa in children. Adult cases have different features compared to younger patients. Case Description: We present the case of a 26-year-old male patient, presenting with several posterior f...

The uncertainty associated with satellite precipitation data poses a challenge for hydrological modelling in West Africa, where access to observed data remains difficult. This study aims to analyse these uncertainties in the performance of GR4J, in terms of its simulation of disc...

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Aquaporin Gene Family in 84K Poplar
Aquaporins (AQPs) mediate the transmembrane transport of water and diverse small molecules, playing essential roles in plant growth and development and stress responses. However, their genome-wide organization and evolution at the subgenome level in hybrid 84K poplar (Populus alb...

(1) Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli are important causes of bacteremia, but integrated genotype–virulence–outcome data from low- and middle-income settings are limited; (2) Methods: Observational study of ESBL-producing E. coli (ESBL...

Digital Technologies in Undergraduate Dental Education: A Scoping Review
Digital technologies are becoming increasingly embedded in undergraduate dental curricula, with the potential to support learning and skills development. This scoping review mapped recent evidence on the implementation and educational applications of contemporary digital technolo...

Normally, the “flip-flop” motion is reserved for small lipid molecules which move from one leaflet of the membrane to the other, and even that process is very slow without the aid of specific enzymes. Unexpectedly, we recently found that despite a prohibitively high energy barrie...

Water systems can become nonfunctional after earthquakes due to pipe failure along fault lines or soil liquefaction. A new algorithm is introduced here that adds scientific originality and advances the current state-of-the-art in earthquake disaster management. Network modeling w...
