Comparative analysis of bioactive compounds and antimicrobial activity in marine cyanobacteria
Abstract A comparative study of bioactive compounds in two marine cyanobacteria species, Oscillatoria acutissima and Oscillatoria simplicissima, grown in F/2 med...
Retraction Note: Retinal degeneration driven by brain-derived neurotrophic factor deficiency in microglia and T-lymphocytes
Exact solutions and instability analysis of a fifth-order nonlinear evolution equation exhibiting multi-scale wave structures
Abstract A fifth-order nonlinear partial differential equation is analyzed to construct exact traveling wave solutions through the modified extended mapping method. By converting the...

Behavioural responses of Neotropical raptors to drone approaches to nests
Modeling grain selection for single-crystal thin-wall inconel 718 tubes by laser powder bed fusion
Hybrid multilayer perceptron models optimized by evolutionary algorithms for urban air quality forecasting: a case study of Shiraz, Iran
Soft matrix promotes ciliogenesis in human retinal pigment epithelial cells
Abstract The primary cilium (PC) is a microtubule-based mechanosensory organelle involved in signal transduction. Although the signaling functions of PC have been well studied, its i...
Effect of dietary counseling and dietary fiber on tolerability during weight management with EMP16 and conventional orlistat: a single-blind randomized pilot trial
Abstract The aim of this trial was to assess whether dietary counseling together with supplemental fiber improves gastrointestinal (GI) tolerability during dose escalation with contr...
Synergistic reproductive toxicity of lambda-cyhalothrin and thiamethoxam via oxidative stress and blood–testis barrier dysfunction in rats
Abstract Excessive pesticide use regularly pollutes the environment and endangers both human and animal health. The current study aimed to examine the main mechanism by which the com...
Analysis and optimization of conventional furrow irrigation systems using the WinSRFR simulation model
Abstract Surface irrigation systems continue to be the most popular irrigation systems worldwide, owing to their ability to save energy and ease of operation. Th...
SLA-printed nanographite-reinforced UV-curable resin composites for dental applications
Abstract This study investigates stereolithography (SLA)-printed nanographite (NG)-reinforced UV-curable resin composites for dental applications. Anycubic plant...
High-performance liquid chromatography – diode array detection method validation for amentoflavone-type biflavonoids in five Encephalartos species with potential neuroprotective activity
Abstract Ginkgo biloba is a well-known food supplement for enhancing memory and is rich in biflavonoids. Biflavonoids are predominant in the...
Grey–green spatial morphology relates to summer daytime and nighttime land surface temperature across local climate zones in Wuhan
Sharpness matters: Higher image resolution improves generalization and explainability in chest X-ray classification
Environmental tobacco smoke and sleep fragmentation in children with suspected sleep apnea
Tunable optical and UV-blocking properties of eco-friendly CMC/ZnO nanocomposite films
Abstract As environmental sustainability standards become more stringent, there is a growing need for biodegradable and renewable UV-protective films. Thus, this study looked at how...
Synthesis of Ce-MOF/Ag composites with improved electrocatalytic activity and stability for sustainable water splitting
Abstract The increasing global demand for clean and sustainable energy has intensified the need for efficient hydrogen production via water splitting, yet the de...
Past subarctic marine food web shifts recovered by sedaDNA and network analysis
Abstract Subarctic marine ecosystems are highly sensitive to current climate and sea-ice change but long-term evidence for food web shifts is lacking. Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDN...

Protocell formation on micrometeorites
Abstract We report on the formation of membranous protocells by self-assembly of lipids on micrometeorites, the extraterrestrial particles that have been continuously reaching the su...
Functional characterization of fungal endophytes with antagonistic and plant growth-promoting activities in maize
Abstract Fungal endophytes play a crucial role in plant-microbe interactions by asymptomatically colonizing host tissues, enhancing plant growth, and providing d...
X-ray histology on rapidly fixed fresh tumor tissue samples for fast resection margin assessment
Abstract Accurate assessment of the resection margin is of key importance for patient outcome after tumor surgery. Intraoperative assessment is preferable but present methods like fr...
A low-cost "plant-scanner" platform for automated detection of Ustilago maydis infection in maize using deep learning
Abstract Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic fungus that causes smut disease in maize, leading to tumor formation on aerial parts of the plant. W...
