Dynamic Succession of the Early-Life Gut Microbiota and the Regulatory Role of Human Milk Oligosaccharides

Early-life nutrition and the gut microbiota interact to shape host health programming. During early-life development, spanning the neonatal period of initial gut colonization through infancy to toddlerhood, the gut microbiota undergoes dynamic succession driven by feeding pattern...

Rhizoxin and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol contribute to biocontrol of Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 against pea Ascochyta blight pathogen Didymella pinodes

ABSTRACT Biological control using beneficial bacteria is a promising strategy for managing pea Ascochyta blight (AB), yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified 10 bacterial strains from 4 genera, including Bacillus , Paenibacillus , Peri...

Manipulative packaging in YouTube journalism: A quantitative content analysis in the Turkish context

This study examines the manipulative packaging patterns established between headlines, thumbnails, and video content in YouTube journalism, using Türkiye as an example. The research applies quantitative content analysis to 270 videos published on nine news channels between Decemb...

1.4 S.I.T. – HOW AND WHY TO TURN IDEAS FOR INNOVATION INTO NUMBERS

Abstract: In the first part, we present Frederick Taylor's studies on measuring the times and movements consumed by the industry workers. It combines with the Gilbreth couple's studies on the construction workers' movements, which increased the industry's effectiveness and effici...

Survey on the distribution and epidemiology of faba bean gall (Physoderma viciae) in South Wollo, North-Eastern Ethiopia: an emerging threat to faba bean production

Faba bean gall, a disease caused by Physoderma viciae, has emerged as a major constraint to faba bean production in the highland areas of northeastern Ethiopia. This study assessed the prevalence, incidence, and severity of faba bean gall across major faba bean-growing districts...

Artificial Intelligence and the Effective Security of AES: A Narrative Review of Side-Channel Analysis, Encrypted-Traffic Analysis, and the Post-Quantum Positioning of AES-256

This paper provides a narrative review on the role of artificial intelligence in cryptography, with a substantial focus on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and, where the distinction matters, on AES with 256-bit keys (AES-256), at the intersection of cryptanalysis, encrypte...

The Influence of Immersion Duration on Erosion Differentiation Along Riverbanks in the Middle Yangtze River

ABSTRACT The middle reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Jiujiang region with unconsolidated soil, suffer frequent erosion‐induced collapses, yet the mechanism by which immersion duration regulates soil properties and drives differential erosion remains unclear. To addres...

Marker chromosomes in 15 individuals: cytogenetic delineation and molecular findings from SNP array analysis in a subset of cases

Abstract Objective Marker chromosomes (MCs) are structurally abnormal chromosomes that can be detected by standard cytogenetic banding techniques but their precise structure and origin cannot be fully determined by these methods alone. These abnormal chromosomes can be present as...

The Golden Ratio Family Structure in 2D and 3D Vector Systems

This paper presents an extension of the Golden Ratio (Phi) from a conventional one-dimensional (1D) scalar sequence to two-dimensional (2D) planar and three-dimensional (3D) volumetric tensor fields using vector outer product operations. Conventionally, the Golden Ratio is define...

Low tube voltage with deep learning and freezing for coronary CTA in obese patients with suspected CAD

Objective to investigate the application of low tube voltage combined with deep learning reconstruction algorithms and freeze technology in obese patients undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). A total of 100 patients with a BMI of 28 kg/m2 or higher who unde...

Uric Acid as a Redox Switch in Gout: Linking Xanthine Oxidoreductase-Derived ROS, NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Emerging Ferroptotic Mechanisms

Gout is a crystal-induced inflammatory arthritis driven by hyperuricemia and monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition, yet urate burden alone does not explain why only a subset of hyperuricemic individuals develops clinical disease, why acute flares are usually self-limited, or...

Foundations of Trans-Planckian Horizon Lock Mechanics – The Third Cosmic Secret: Primordial Topological Defects, Vacuum Polarization Matrix, and Absolute Multi-Loop Field Convergence Regularization Equations

This paper establishes the complete integrated mathematical physics framework for the Third Cosmic Secret of the Trans-Planckian Horizon Lock Mechanics (TPHLM), mapping full analytical text for structural priority recording via the CERN Zenodo portal. We resolve the core multi-lo...

Parent-Child Agreements And Disagreements in Perceptions of Adolescent General Functioning in Psychiatric Residential Care

Abstract While much research exists on alignment between parent–child reporting on adolescent mental health symptoms, little exists on parent–child agreement in perceptions of general functioning, or the day-to-day ability to engage in adaptive activities, which may be a better m...
