Abstract In a world where geopolitical tensions strongly impinge on international scientific collaboration and where some scientific information has significant commercial value, the notion of science and practice of it as a global public good are under pressure and so are the wa...

Spatial structure and growth dynamics of fairy rings formed by Marasmius oreades
Abstract Despite the long-term fascination of fairy ring-forming fungi, many aspects of their biology remain unresolved. It is not known why the mycelium grows as an annular structure, rather than a solid disc, or why it grows radially outwards. Different theories have been sugge...

Abstract Based on a study of the behavior of several permanently operated stations of the IGS network, the impact of ambient temperature on the heights of these stations is tested and assessed. The studies used relative GNSS determinations of very short baselines, which have very...

Abstract Variation in daylight hours may shape light-dependent behaviours both across seasons and among latitudinally distinct breeding colonies. We investigated the influence of photoperiod variation on chick provisioning behaviour in a high-latitude seabird, the Manx shearwater...

Futility and Termination of Resuscitation Variation for Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
OBJECTIVES To evaluate agency-level differences in determinations of futility (defined as withholding resuscitative efforts by emergency medical services [EMS]) and termination of resuscitation (TOR) during prehospital encounters for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA...

Abstract The macaw palm ( Acrocomia aculeata ) is a native Neotropical palm with potential for vegetable oil production, particularly for biofuel generation. However, its domestication remains incipient, and information on long-term progeny performance is still limited. This stud...

Photonic Balanced Ternary Computing: A Perspective on the Post-CMOS Paradigm
Binary logic on CMOS emerged from the two-state operating regime of 1940s vacuum tubes — a historical contingency, not a law of physics. This perspective argues that three developments — the quantum transport physics of photonically gated carbon-nanotube devices, balanced ternary...

Abstract Lithium/fluorinated carbon (Li/CFx) batteries are promising for mission-critical power sources, but their practical performance is hindered by solvent-dominated Li+ solvation and insulating LiF accumulation. Herein, 2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenylboronic acid (FMPB) is introduc...

Abstract Changes in animal behaviour are often the first response to environmental change, reflecting a shift in the balance of energetic opportunities and constraints. However, few studies have considered how the ecological consequences of global change shape behavioural pattern...

Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) represent the primary frontier for near-term quantum advantage. However, physical noise channels on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices severely degrade classification accuracy and deform optimiz...

Abstract Background Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into health professions education; however, limited research has examined nursing students’ acceptance of generative AI as a task-based creative tool for developing child-centered health educat...

Abstract Influenza A remains a major seasonal public health burden. With the approval of onradivir, PB2 has emerged as an attractive antiviral target due to its unique and conserved structural features. Herein, using onradivir as the lead, we employed bioisosteric replacement str...

Role of free volume in governing electrical transport in V2O5–Cu2O–P2O5 glass ceramic nanocomposites
Abstract Glass–ceramic nanocomposites of xV₂O₅–(40−x)Cu₂O–60P₂O₅ (x = 10–40 mol%) were prepared by melt quenching followed by heat treatment at 873 K. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of Cu₂O and V₂O₅ nanocrystalline phases with crystallite sizes in the range of 16–27 nm embe...

From policy to plow: Who is getting it right on resilience in Kenyan agriculture?
Purpose This study examined models of success and patterns of fragmentation in the implementation of the Agricultural Sector Transformation and Growth Strategy (ASTGS) 2019–2029 and the National Horticulture Policy (NHP) 2012. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualita...

Abstract Background Age-friendly environments are increasingly recognised as essential for supporting participation, autonomy, and healthy ageing. In residential care facilities (RCFs) for older adults, the built environment interacts with organisational practices to shape opport...

Abstract Seven yeast strains, isolated from an alpine peatland, plants and insect frass in Europe (Italy, Russia and Germany), were accommodated in three new species belonging to the subphylum Pucciniomycotina . Phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the...

Abstract Sexual cannibalism is among the most extreme outcomes of sexual conflict, and the Australian widow spider Latrodectus hasselti is well known for this behaviour. Curiously, males of L. hasselti actively facilitate cannibalism through self-sacrificial mating traits. During...

Abstract Deploying Large Language Model (LLM)-based AI agents at the network edge enables real-time task handling in 6G networks. However, resource heterogeneity and user mobility necessitate agent migration to maintain Quality of Service (QoS). Unlike stateless containers, AI ag...

Multi-organ expression of viral entry receptor-related genes in feline fetal tissues
Abstract Viral receptors play a key role in determining viral organ tropism and host susceptibility to infection. However, distribution of viral receptor expression across feline organs, particularly during the fetal stage, remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined th...

Abstract Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose produces an early oxidative insult followed by sterile inflammation and tissue repair, but whether probiotic interventions can influence these distinct phases remains unclear. Here, we evaluated the effects of Bacillus subtilis on APAP-induc...
