Agricultural intensification has reduced biodiversity and leads to fundamental trade-offs between food production and conservation. Conventional approaches to food production are thus no longer suitable. In the present w...

Grasslands have to be considered not only as a mean for providing foods for domestic herbivore but also as an important biome of terrestrial biosphere. This function of grasslands as an active component of our environmen...

Carabids are important natural biocontrol agents for pest regulation in agricultural landscapes. Their role in the ecosystem is related to functional traits, which are themselves filtered by both the degree of habitat di...

Protein recognition of DNA sites is a primary event for gene function. Its ultimate mechanistic understanding requires an integrated structural, dynamic, kinetic, and thermodynamic dissection that is currently limited co...

PurposeImmune dysregulation and neuroinflammation have been increasingly implicated in depression, and nanotechnology-based approaches are being actively explored for targeted delivery and immunomodulation. However, a sy...

What is new? In the current evolving research landscape, the implementation of academic research has expanded into a complex and active paradigm. Research and its output are expected not only to be robust and innovat...

BackgroundDepressive disorders are clinically heterogeneous and mechanistically complex psychiatric conditions. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a key non-invasive neuromodulation technique, has expanded r...

Na região sudoeste da Amazônia brasileira, foi realizado um estudo detalhado da cobertura pedológica em uma toposseqüência representativa da paisagem regional, caracterizada por baixos platôs com depressões topogr...

Abstract Topological protection ensures stability of information and particle transport against perturbations. We explore experimentally and computationally the topologically protected transport of magnetic colloids abov...

Context and background  Rapid urbanization in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria, has led to significant changes in its urban climate, manifesting as Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Goal and Objectives: This study assesses the...

Effective management of natural populations depends heavily on the capacity for understanding and predicting their habitat requirements. For endemic and threatened species like the mara (Dolichotis patagonum), this infor...

Agricultural intensification simplified environments, reduced their diversity, and hindered their ecosystem processes. Permanently vegetated areas (uncultivated margins) embedded in the cultivated matrix play a critical ...

Purpose – This study critically examines the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital learning, with a specific focus on how these technologies intersect with metacognitive skills and digital literacy...

To address the challenges of fragmented understanding of Large Language Model (LLM) security risks and the inadequacy of LLM risk classification and grading frameworks, this study aims to construct a comprehensive framew...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

Grassland butterflies are declining widely in temperate regions, and are thus a key target for conservation. Recent studies have shown that forest clearcuts can be temporary habitats for these species. Shelterbelts - row...

The Paraná River floodplain comprises one of the largest wetland systems of South America. In a sector of the Lower Paraná River floodplain (100km length, 3650km2), floristic composition and species diversity was chara...

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are increasingly used for landscape management on rewetted peatlands, where monitoring their behavior and welfare remains challenging due to large, water−rich and difficult−to-access g...

In extra-Andean Patagonia, wet meadows contrast with the prevailing arid steppes, and present a gradient of water availability from the periphery to the center. The objectives of this paper are to describe the spatial an...

Abstract Background Apoptosis is a fundamental biological process and a central determinant of therapeutic response in breast cancer (BC). Resistance to immunotherapy is increasingly recognized to be driven, in part, by ...

Abstract Backgrounds Clinical trials are central in pandemic preparedness and response (PPR). This scoping review aimed to illustrate the landscape of COVID-19-related randomized controlled trials (RCTs), focusing on the...

Abstract Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading global cause of disability, yet conventional tools lack sensitivity for early detection and precise prognostication. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine lear...

This is the first part of a special issue on the impact of Upper Pleistocene climatic and environmental change on hominin occupations and landscape use. In this part there are six contributions: Davies, W., and Nigst,...

Background: Nucleosomes are the building blocks of chromatin where gene regulation takes place. Chromatin landscapes have been profiled for several species, providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms of chromatin...
