Mating-Type System Analysis and Domestication of Paramarasmius mesosporus Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing

Paramarasmius mesosporus is a wild edible mushroom with a strong aroma and high culinary value, capable of growing at temperatures up to 36 °C. However, its domestication system and the genetic basis of its sexual reproduction remain largely unexplored. In this study, fresh fruit...

Rural women and coping with extreme heat in South Western Zimbabwe: livelihoods, water and energy

This article focuses on rural women’s agency and innovation in the context of the global acceleration of climate change-induced extreme heat. Specifically, it considers the intersecting challenges encountered in relation to livelihoods, water, and energy, as well as the coping st...

Ecological quality assessment of the Keta Lagoon, Ghana: integrating water quality, sediment quality, and benthic macroinvertebrates

Coastal lagoons are ecologically and socioeconomically valuable ecosystems, yet they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. This study assessed the ecological quality of the Keta Lagoon Complex Ramsar Site (KLCRS), Ghana, by integrating water physicochemical parameters...

A multiplicative additive bias variational framework for accurate and interpretable brain MRI segmentation in cloud-based medical imaging systems

Abstract Accurate brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation remains challenging due to intensity inhomogeneity, acquisition-related bias fields, and ambiguous tissue boundaries. To address these challenges, a Multiplicative–Additive Bias Single-Function Dual-Level-Set (...

Comparison of treatment pathways for isolated mesh associated pain syndrome (I‐ MAPS ) secondary to pelvic mesh devices for stress urinary incontinence ( SUI )

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective observational cohort study was to compare the outcome of surgical, combined and non-surgical pathways of isolated mesh associated pain syndrome (I-MAPS) following insertion of a single continence tape. METHODS: Women with a single continen...

Ten years of student-reported outcomes from simulation-based interprofessional education in an underrepresented academic setting

Simulation-based interprofessional education is widely used to foster collaborative competencies among health professions students; however, evidence from underrepresented and minority-serving academic health settings remains limited. We conducted a retrospective program evaluati...

Hydrophobic MFI‐Type Zeolites via Alkali‐Cation‐Induced Defect Healing: Implications for Adsorbent and Catalyst Design

ABSTRACT Here, we demonstrate that sub‐stoichiometric amounts of alkali cations (Na + and K + ) critically govern defect formation during the synthesis of Silicalite‐1 (MFI), enabling precise control over framework integrity and surface properties after calcination. Combining sys...

A Universal Precipitation‐Transformation Strategy Toward Low‐Defect Prussian Blue Analogs for High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are considered promising cathode materials for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost and open framework structure. However, their practical application is hindered by intrinsic [Fe(CN) 6 ] 4− vacancies and coordinated water, which...

Study on a High-Pressure Pipeline Micro-Leakage Detection Method Based on Background-Oriented Schlieren Measurement and Feature Matching

Online detection of micro-leakage in complex high-pressure gas pipeline networks is difficult to achieve using conventional methods. A high-pressure pipeline micro-leakage detection method based on background-oriented schlieren measurement and feature matching was proposed in thi...
