Stem strength plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants, as well as in their flowering and fruiting. It not only impacts the lodging resistance of crops, but also influences the ornamental value of ornamental plants. Stem developme...
The baroque church of Saint Thomas and Saint Philip Neri (Valencia, Spain), which was built between 1727 and 1736, contains valuable paintings by renowned Spanish artists. Due to the considerable height of the central nave, the church can experience...
Generative Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), powered by advanced language models like GPT-4, represent a transformative approach to personalized education through real-time adaptability, dynamic content generation, and interactive learning. This s...
In recent years, structured phospholipids (SPLs), which are modified phospholipids (PLs), have attracted more attention due to their great potential for application in the field of pharmacy, food, cosmetics, and health. SPLs not only possess enhanced...
The Bijigou layered intrusion is located in the northern margin of the Yangtze block. Based on cumulus mineral assemblages, the intrusion is divided into three major units from the base upwards: the lower zone (LZ), dominated by olivine gabbro; the m...
Perturbed lipid metabolism leads to ectopic lipid accumulation in tissues, such as the liver, thereby causing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and negatively influencing circulating lipid profile-inducing dyslipidemia. Phospholipids (PLs) wit...
We revisited risk factors and outcomes related to the preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). A total of 7866 pregnant women were recruited during 5 years at their first prenatal visit to the perinatal clinic of the institution. We compared t...
Conventional Nafion membranes demonstrate a strong affinity for methanol, resulting in a high fuel crossover, poor mechanical stability, and thus poor performance in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). This study involves the synthesis and physiochem...
Sphingolipids (SPLs) are biologically important molecules, but the structural diversity and complexity of SPLs brings significant analytical challenges for their study. In this paper, we have developed an UPLC-Q-TOF-MS-based sphingolipidomic approach...
Background: The growth of e-commerce has intensified last-mile delivery challenges, including failed deliveries, delivery-time uncertainty, and pressure on urban logistics. Smart parcel lockers (SPLs) offer a technology-enabled out-of-home delivery s...
Background: Alzheimer Disease (AD) is the most prevalent dementia. However, the physiopathological mechanisms involved in its development are unclear. In this sense, a multi-omics approach could provide some progress. Methods: Epigenomic and lipidomi...
Global food security is critical to eliminating hunger and malnutrition. In the changing climate, farmers in developing countries must adopt technologies and farming practices such as precision agriculture (PA). PA-based approaches enable farmers to...
This study investigates the reuse of mechanically recycled polyester–glass thermoset scraps (PS) as fillers in LDPE and HDPE matrices at 10–50 wt.% loading. Composites were produced through mechanical size reduction, single-screw extrusio...
Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world, and yield-related agronomic traits, including plant height (PH), panicle length (PL), and protein content (PC), are prerequisites for attaining the desired yield and quality...
Hyperspectral technology offers significant potential for non-invasive monitoring and prediction of morphological parameters in plants. In this study, UV−VIS−NIR−SWIR reflectance hyperspectral data were collected from Nicotiana taba...
The people of India sought digital modes of payment during the demonetization period in India (2016); with the increasing growth of the internet, electronic commerce (e-commerce) websites have become imperative for securely accessing payment gateways...
Pregnancy is a critical window for metabolic programming, during which adverse intrauterine exposures may influence long-term health. GDM alters the intrauterine environment, but its role in early metabolic programming remains poorly understood. Thus...
Investigating alternatives to synthetic chemicals in pest management is essential. The bioactivity of Artemisia absinthium and A. dracunculus essential oils (EOs) was evaluated against two stored-product insect pests (Sitophilus granaries and Triboli...
Wildfires have continued to increase in frequency and severity in Southern California due in part to climate change. To gain a further understanding of microbial soil communities’ response to fire and functions that may enhance post-wildfire re...
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) leaves are increasingly processed into caffeine-free herbal teas, valued for their rich phenolic composition and cultivar-dependent sensory profile. However, no systematic study has yet resolved how cultivar identity shapes...
Geological, mineralogical, and petrological observations are reported for hornfels-like fine-grained granular mafic rocks in the Early Paleozoic Olkhon collisional orogen (West Baikal area, Russia). The rocks are composed of orthopyroxene, clinopyrox...
Background and Objectives: Breast cancer accounts for 12.5% of all new cancer cases in women worldwide. Early detection significantly improves survival rates, but traditional biomarkers like CA 15-3 and HER2 lack sensitivity and specificity, particul...
Background: The influences of creatine and caffeine supplementation associated with power exercise on lean body mass (LBM) composition are not clear. The purpose of this research was to determine whether supplementation with high doses of creatine an...
Background and objectives: An unhealthy dietary pattern (DP) previously identified in the UK Biobank population was positively associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and mortality. Differences in individuals&rsqu...
