A Home Between Environmental Changes and Climatic Anxiety
It is becoming harder to feel at home. As wildfires, floods, drought, and heat become recurrent rather than exceptional, and as everyday life fills with weather alerts, evacuation warnings, and preparedness drills, many people experience a particular kind of distress: the pain of...

Explicit task reasoning empowering robotic manipulation
Currently, robots still struggle to perform human-like explicit task reasoning. Most existing vision-language-action (VLA) approaches heavily rely on large-scale demonstration datasets and carefully designed models, which pose significant challenges for model interpretability, ge...

Core genome and whole genome multi-locus sequence typing of Cronobacter isolates
ABSTRACT Cronobacter species, especially C. sakazakii and C. malonaticus, are opportunistic pathogens that are linked to severe infections in infants with high case fatality rates. In this study, we investigated whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis approaches, specifically 7-ge...

The janus-faced function of mesenchymal stem cells in oral cancer
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which exist in bone marrow, tooth pulp, and tumor microenvironments, have a dual role in oral malignancies. These cells interact closely with cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the tumor microenvironment (TME). On the one hand, MSCs accelerate the growth...

Pollen tube growth: signal perception and temporary growth arrest
Abstract Pollen tubes are among the fastest growing polarized plant cells and must traverse the stigma, style and ovary to deliver male gametes. The style constitutes the longest and most complex phase of this journey yet the molecular and biomechanical logic of pollen tube behav...

Synergistic Biomass-Eggshell Engineering of Calcium Catalysts for Efficient Biodiesel Production
The valorization of agricultural and food-processing waste offers a promising pathway to develop cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production. Herein, calcium-based catalysts were prepared by pyrolyzing mixtures of rice husk (RH) and eggshell (ES) at different...

Stochastic generation of velocity fields to reproduce the energy spectrum in wall turbulence
Leveraging experimental measurements in rough-wall turbulent boundary layers that provided the spatial distribution and statistics of uniform momentum zones (UMZs), we previously introduced a stochastic model to generate two-dimensional modal velocity fields representative of the...
