Bacterial adaptation to essential oils and their main compounds in food systems: mechanisms related to antibacterial resistance

Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of volatile metabolites with strong biological properties. Their multi-target mechanisms confer rapid bactericidal activity, lowering the likelihood of resistance development compared to antibiotics. This review examines bacterial respons...

Inactivation kinetics of a strain of Bacillus subtilis , isolated from the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant, using peracetic acid: assessment in vegetative cells and endospores

ABSTRACT Summarizing the manuscript This study carried out the biochemical characterization and disinfection kinetics of a strain of Bacillus subtilis isolated from the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant and of a certified strain of the same species, using peracetic acid (P...

Core open science practices in major medical journals: development of an automatized tool based on a Large Language Model

Background Open science practices are increasingly promoted to improve the transparency and reproducibility of biomedical research, and their large-scale monitoring has been identified as a priority by initiatives such as the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. Existing automa...

The Poincaré Homology Sphere and the Fine-Structure Constant: What Follows from a Point Being Here, with the Status of Every Step

This text follows a single definition — a point is here: from itself, surrounded by others — along one thread, and marks at every step what carries the step: a theorem (cited, or a uniqueness by exclusion in which every alternative is named and shown to be a mark), a name (a deri...

Conditional Effectiveness of Night Ventilation During Heatwaves: Nonlinear Interactions Among Event Morphology, Thermal Mass and Operating Strategies

Consecutive warm nights during heatwaves erode the cooling potential of night ventilation (NV), making its effectiveness strongly dependent on both the event and the building conditions. This study quantified the nonlinear effects of heatwave morphology, building thermal mass (TM...

Humanizing cities through bus stops: global lessons, local assessment, and proposed design characteristics for Riyadh

Bus stops are interfaces between walking, public transport, streets, and neighborhood life. This study defines a humanized bus stop as one whose provisions enable diverse users to approach, wait, obtain information, and board with independence, dignity, safety, climatic protectio...

A Ranking Framework of Scientific Publications Using Temporal and Lexical Relevance and Citation Behavior

The exponential growth of scientific literature has amplified the need for ranking mechanisms that prioritize recent publications while ensuring the relevance and authenticity of cited information. The current recency-based metrics, like Price’s Index and the mean/median age of r...

Coupling ESPResSo and waLBerla for scalable soft matter simulations with hydrodynamic interactions

Many problems in soft matter research involve particles suspended in a solvent, where hydrodynamic interactions play a crucial role. A well-established simulation approach for such systems combines molecular dynamics for the particles with the lattice-Boltzmann method for the sol...

Exploitation discouragement: gender differences in entrepreneurial opportunity identification and exploitation intention

Purpose This study aims to examine whether gender dynamics vary across two distinct stages of entrepreneurial decision-making: opportunity identification and exploitation intention. Given the masculine stereotype of entrepreneurship and the socially evaluative nature of the explo...

Views on Ageing and Loneliness in Older Patients Undergoing Geriatric Treatment

Background/Objectives: Loneliness is a clinically relevant psychosocial factor in later life and has been associated with adverse mental, cognitive, and physical health outcomes. Views on ageing may shape social engagement, coping, and perceived belonging, but evidence from geria...

Sharp scalar positivity in two-coupling postquantum classical gravity: de Sitter classification, FLRW stability, and a calibration-free covariance test

A covariant postquantum classical-gravity path integral uses a two-coupling generalized DeWitt kernel to suppress departures from Einstein's equation. Retaining the cosmological term already present in the covariant action, this preprint classifies the complete Newtonian-gauge sc...

Effects of Clear Aligner Therapy on Quality of Life and Anxiety Levels: An Exploratory Study in Patients With Disabilities

INTRODUCTION: Considering the orthodontic needs of individuals with disabilities and the potential impact of such treatments on both quality of life (QoL) and anxiety, this study aims to assess the effects of using clear aligner therapy (Invisalign) on QoL and anxiety levels in t...

Sleep duration links to biological aging clocks: when sleep gets tough, aging gets going

In a recent large-scale study of biological ageing clocks published in Nature , the MULTI Consortium now shows sleep, often treated as a lifestyle habit, is a measurable sign of temporal biology. Their work suggests that deviations from optimal sleep duration are associated with...

Dextran-Mediated Macromolecular Crowding Drives the Formation of Multiphase Complex Coacervates from Soy Glycinin and Gum Arabic

Abstract Macromolecular crowders pose great impact on coacervation but that on the protein–polysaccharide complex coacervation has yet been investigated. In this study, dextran (Dex) was used as a crowder to investigate its influence on the complex coacervation of soy glycinin (S...

Robotic Palpation for Spatiotemporal Arterial Pulse Quantification and Mapping Using Multilevel Microdome‐Based Soft Pressure Sensors

ABSTRACT Humanoid robots have advanced capabilities through physical and physiological examinations, but their reliance on visual information limits biological‐object assessment, underscoring the need for tactile perception. Current tactile systems primarily detect basic contact...
