Abstract. Current and sea-level observations in the 2.4-km-long, 300-m-wide channel between Varna Lake and the Black Sea, conducted by three novel Hydromast stations with a 1-minute resolution, revealed that moderate sub-hourly dynamics were occasionally interrupted by high-ampli...

Aggregation behavior and intraspecific interactions among ring-necked snakes
Sociality, broadly defined as the property or tendency of a species to live in groups with conspecifics for at least part of their life cycle, has convergently evolved multiple times. While there has historically been a dearth of research on sociality in squamate reptiles, recent...

VIA1 is a conserved regulator of thylakoid membrane integrity that acts through VIPP1
Abstract Thylakoid membranes are indispensable for oxygenic photosynthesis, yet the mechanisms that protect these membranes from photooxidative damage remain poorly understood. By screening previously uncharacterized proteins induced during the chloroplast unfolded protein respon...

Abstract. In photoacoustic tomography (PAT), a hybrid imaging modality that is based on the acoustic detection of optical absorption from biological tissue exposed to a pulsed laser, a short pulse laser generates an initial pressure proportional to the absorbed optical energy, wh...

Mapping teachers’ digital competence (TDC): a bibliometric analysis and systematic review
With the rapid digital transformation of education, teachers’ digital competence (TDC) has emerged as a key driver of educational modernisation. However, existing reviews remain fragmented and lack large-scale systematic syntheses. This study combined bibliometric analysis with a...

Heterogeneous Individual Valuations of a Mild Climate
Abstract This paper explores heterogeneous individual valuations of an important amenity, climate mildness, using a traditional Rosen-Roback empirical framework. It does so by including interaction terms between the amenity and worker characteristics in an hedonic wage regression...

<title>Abstract</title> Background PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are standard front-line maintenance therapy for advanced ovarian cancer, but the efficacy of PARPi retreatment in later lines remains unclear. This phase Ib/II study evaluated the combination of pamiparib (a PARPi) and su...

Rhomboid protease RHBDL2 is a calcium-activated suppressor of EGFR signalling in keratinocytes
Abstract Signalling via the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is indispensable for morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis. It is activated by extracellular ligands, typically released from transmembrane precursors by proteolysis. Ligand shedding activity is provided by the co...

Session State Continuity in Multi-Agent Voice Flows: A Systematic Review of Challenges, Patterns, and Research Gaps Multi-agent voice systems decompose telephony interactions into specialized sub-agents for authentication, billing, scheduling, and escalation. A pervasive failure...

Coupling electric and magnetic dipoles in Janus nanoplatelets via surface-selective hybridization
Coupling electric and magnetic dipoles within nanoscale building blocks offers a promising strategy for creating hybrid materials with coupled magnetic and electric functionality. Here, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept approach for realizing this concept in Janus nanoparticles t...
- Climate & EnvironmentOpen access
<title>Abstract</title> Micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) particles are widely present in nature, mainly due to the extensive overuse of single-use plastics combined with poor waste management. Despite the diversity in the environment, many experimental studies still rely almost exclu...

<title>Abstract</title> Background This study aimed to evaluate the association between skeletal sagittal malocclusion (based on ANB angle) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology by assessing bilateral articular eminence inclination (aeı) and glenoid fossa roof thickness, a...

A MultitaskLarge Reasoning Model for Molecular Science
Abstract Artificial intelligence in molecular science must move beyond pattern recognition toward chemically valid and interpretable reasoning. We present a task-adaptive large reasoning model that integrates chemical knowledge through a synergistic multispecialist architecture,...

Airborne eddy covariance measurements of ocean-air VOC fluxes: Distinguishing signal from noise
Abstract. Ocean-atmosphere exchange plays an important but uncertain role for many volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Airborne eddy covariance (EC) enables direct flux quantification over large areas, but VOC applications have largely been performed over land. Here we combine the...

ABSTRACT Translation reinitiation (REI) is one of the most important gene-specific regulatory mechanisms by which eukaryotic cells influence expression of main translons, for example during highly conserved integrated stress response (ISR). In S. cerevisiae , expression of the ke...

Effects of surface processes on nature of arc magmas in subduction zones revealed by Mo-Zn isotopes
The features of arc magmas are inherited from the modified lithospheric mantle sources. Within oceanic subduction zones, the subducted sediment-derived fluids play a critical role in governing the geochemical variations of arc magmas. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether the...

Black cotton soil (BCS) exhibits severe swell–shrink behaviour and poor resistance to cyclic loading, which limits their suitability for pavement subgrade and foundation applications. This study investigates the static and dynamic characteristics of expansive soil stabilized usin...

Long-term patterns of peat accumulation and organic matter decomposition in Costa Rican peatlands
Abstract. Tropical peatlands, compared to their boreal counterparts, are vastly understudied despite acting as a significant terrestrial carbon sink, sequestering 100—300 Gt of carbon. In particular, the low number of field-based studies from Latin America and the Caribbean limit...

BAGLS-VF: a comprehensive dataset for glottal area and vocal fold segmentations
Abstract Objective Datasets for automatic analysis of laryngeal endoscopic images are scarce, particularly those providing detailed anatomical annotations beyond the glottal area. The BAGLS dataset previously introduced a large collection of laryngoscopic images with expert annot...
- Climate & EnvironmentOpen access
Abstract. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) simulations are often short relative to climatic timescales and conducted against a background that evolves due to changes in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and other forcings. This can cause challenges in assessing certain...
