Species-specific prophage induction by ciprofloxacin in human gut metagenomes
ABSTRACT Antibiotics are known to trigger prophage induction in controlled laboratory settings, but it remains unclear whether this also occurs within microbiomes in nature. Current methods investigating the link between antibiotics and prophage induction within the human gut rel...

“List as many words as you can that start with M.” The verbal fluency (VF) task is simple, yet even a typical university student only manages to produce about 15 words within one minute, and there is substantial variability around this mean. We examined which individual differenc...

Abstract Background Nursing workload in intensive care units (ICUs) plays a crucial role in determining patient outcomes, quality of care, and healthcare system efficiency. The Nursing Activities Score (NAS) is a validated tool used internationally to measure nursing workload and...

Low-frequency Gravitational Waves Coupled to Electromagnetic Waves in Material Media
The influence of the low-frequency gravitational waves coupled with electromagnetic waves in material media on the test masses is investigated. The propagation of coupled gravitational waves in rarefied gases and cold magnetized plasma is considered. It has been shown that under...

Chirality Unlocks Sub‐Terahertz Molecular Dynamics In Peptide Nanotubes
Low-frequency modes in the picosecond range play a key role in molecular recognition and biomolecular function. Here, we investigate how these dynamics at the interfaces of self-assembled peptide biomaterials relate to fine structural details of the supramolecular assembly. We re...

Abstract Micropropagation of woody plants is often limited by explant type, physiological maturity, and season of collection. This study evaluated the influence of explant type and collection date on the in vitro propagation of Prunus subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’, an ornamental cherr...

Long-term monitoring is essential for understanding how demographic processes operating across generations, and under environmental stochasticity, shape population change. This is especially true in human-modified landscapes where nesting opportunities and food resources can shif...

Abstract Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi , faces a critical innovation gap in drug development, with current treatments hindered by toxicity and limited efficacy. To address this, we implemented an integrative chemogenomic workflow using the TDR Targets d...

Abstract Background Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has emerged as a promising biomarker for cancer detection and monitoring. However, different quantification and integrity assessment methods may yield variable results. This study aimed to compare cfDNA concentration and integrity between...

Abstract North–south‐trending rifts in southern Tibet record E–W extension within the Tibetan Plateau, closely linked to high gravitational potential energy from collisional thickening and northward underthrusting of the Indian lower crust. To reveal how basal shear is transmitte...

Abstract Phlebotomine sand flies are major vectors of Leishmania parasites, yet the mechanisms underlying their blood-feeding behavior remain poorly understood. In Lutzomyia longipalpis , the primary vector of Leishmania infantum in the Americas, feeding occurs via telmophagy, a...

Lignin is the second major component of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) and the largest renewable source of aromatics, being recalcitrant due to its complex structure. In nature, gram-positive Bacillus species, contribute to the utilisation of low molecular weight lignin-derived ar...

On the Limitations of Karmarkar’s Condition in Static, Conformally Flat Space-Times
For a static and spherically symmetric spacetime, we investigate the class of exact solutions that arise when two fundamental geometric constraints are imposed simultaneously: the Karmarkar's condition and the vanishing of the Weyl tensor. These conditions restrict the curvature...

Convergence and combinatorics of the Reverse algorithm
Abstract We study the Reverse algorithm, a multidimensional continued fraction algorithm, which is not unimodular. We show that the Reverse algorithm is ergodic and, by proving that its second Lyapunov exponent is negative, that it is a.e. exponentially convergent. In addition to...

Braneworlds in constant and accelerated motion and their causal characteristics
A bstract We generalize previous work on the signatures of bulk signals detected by brane-based observers in a spacetime with a compactified dimension. When such braneworlds move with constant velocities or constant proper accelerations in the extra dimension, the observers may w...

Resolving the Abstract–Concrete Paradox in the Angular Gyrus:A Multimethod Investigation
Abstract Despite its well-established role in memory-guided cognition, whether and how the angular gyrus (AG) contributes to semantic processing remains unresolved. Connectomic work links the AG to abstract mentation, yet neuroimaging studies paradoxically show greater AG engagem...

Abstract. In recent years, large-scale hydrological models have been increasingly used at regional and global scales to support decision making. Their realism in simulating water balance components is crucial for building trust across different use cases. Hydrological models may...

Measuring surprisal in sound sequences
Abstract Sensory input that violates prior expectations attracts attention, making unpredictability an important perceptual property to measure. In the auditory modality, knowing what sounds will be perceived as surprising, and therefore salient, is relevant both for studying voc...

Abstract. Radiocarbon (14C) is a valuable tracer to determine the relative fossil fractions of emitted carbonaceous greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4. While atmospheric ∆14CO2 measurements have been conducted at multiple sites for several decades, ∆14CH4 measurements remain m...

Adaptive matching of electrical parameters in gas metal arc welding based on audio sensing
In Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of non-standard products, the welding electrical parameters (welding current and arc voltage) require frequent adjustment and matching according to varying workpiece conditions. This parameter matching process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and sig...
