Abstract In recent years, there has been effort to extend the classical notion of phylogenetic balance, originally defined in the context of trees, to networks. One of the most natural ways to do this is with the so-called upper B 2 <mml:math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/x...

MetabolicRNA Labeling: Adding a Temporal Dimensionto Transcriptomics and Epitranscriptomics Analysis

Abstract Transcriptomics and epitranscriptomics analyses have provided unprecedented insights into the transcriptome-wide RNA abundance and the post-transcriptional modifications of RNA across diverse biological processes. However, conventional transcriptomics and epitranscriptom...

Belonging Matters Most: Predictors of Students’ Sense of Safety at School

Students’ sense of safety at school is an important dimension of school climate and student well-being; however, the factors shaping perceived safety remain insufficiently understood. This study examined the extent to which social, emotional, and contextual factors predict studen...

Synthesis of Highly Active InGaO X Solid Solution Catalysts and Their Superior Performance for CO 2 Hydrogenation to Methanol

ABSTRACT This work reports the synthesis of InGaO X solid solution catalysts with varying Ga contents via a one‐step hydrothermal method, aiming to enhance the catalytic activity of indium‐based catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. Comprehensive characterization using XR...

Beclin-1 and HIF-1α immunohistochemical expression in breast carcinoma: insights into tumor biology

Breast carcinoma is a biologically heterogeneous disease in which tumor behavior and clinical outcome are influenced by multiple cellular pathways, including autophagy and hypoxia. Beclin-1, a key autophagy-related protein, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a central regu...

Optimal charge-discharge scheduling of PV-battery storage system microgrid using a hybrid optimization algorithm

Abstract In last few years, integrating renewable energy sources (RES) with traditional energy sources became prominent applications to diversify the energy mix in the modern power grids. Nevertheless, the incorporation of RES poses additional challenges to power distribution net...

Delayed intravesical migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) and subsequent successful pregnancy: a case report of diagnostic and surgical challenges

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are among the most effective and widely utilized methods of reversible contraception. Although uterine perforation and extrauterine migration are uncommon, delayed diagnosis may lead to serious complications involving adjacent pelvic organs, including...

Feasibility analysis of negative pressure wound therapy for odontogenic ascending necrotizing fasciitis: a single-center single-arm retrospective case series

Abstract Background Odontogenic ascending necrotizing fasciitis (ANF) is an extremely rare, rapidly progressive, and destructive craniomaxillofacial necrotizing soft tissue infection. Advanced surgical drainage is essential to improve cure rates, shorten the disease course, and a...
