Firmness Variation in Tomato Fruit: Driving Factors, Signaling Regulation, and Genetic Basis
Fruit firmness is a pivotal agronomic and commercial trait that determines the storability, transport tolerance and edible quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Fruit softening severely restricts postharvest performance and economic benefits of tomato products worldwide. T...

Explicit Upper and Lower Bounds for D(x) and the Error Term of Order O(x^ε)
This paper studies the summatory divisor counting function D(x)=sum_{n≤x}τ(n). We derive its average‑value formula and establish explicit upper and lower bounds for D(x). The error term is governed by the maximum divisor count and satisfies the bound O(x^ε) for arbitrarily small...

From Reactive to Proactive: World‑Model Enhanced VLA for Mobile Manipulation
Mobile robot manipulation demands tight coordination of locomotion and dexterous arm control under changing viewpoints and contacts, making the action space far larger than in fixed-base settings. Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models map perceptual and linguistic inputs directly t...

Controversies in the management of fetal growth restriction: a state-of-the-art review
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 5%-10% of pregnancies and remains a major contributor to stillbirth, neonatal morbidity, and long-term adverse outcomes. Despite its clinical importance, substantial controversy persists regarding its definition, diagnostic criteria, surveil...
