You are already at the latest version Listeria monocytogenes is one of the main foodborne pathogens in terms of mortality. To reduce its presence in food production environments and increase the microbiological safety of food by identifying and developing new biocides, this work joins the methodology of HTS (High Throughput Screening) with the search for innovative applications of microbial natural products.

You are already at the latest version Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop globally, and identifying genes governing grain yield is critical for food security. Although heat shock proteins (HSPs) are known for their roles in stress tolerance, the molecular mechanisms by which they regulate yield formation remain unclear.

You are already at the latest version We study integrable variable-mass sine-Gordon model (vmSG) with point defects. Using the Lax and B\"acklund-gauge formulations, we construct type-I and type-II defect matrices, derive the corresponding sewing conditions, and generate the bulk and defect contributions to an infinite hierarchy of conserved charges.

You are already at the latest version This study investigated supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extraction of omega-3 (ω-3) enriched oil from Tenebrio molitor larvae reared on a flaxseed-supplemented diet, using Soxhlet extraction as a benchmark. Pressure was the principal factor governing oil recovery, with higher pressures increasing yield. Low-pressure extraction resulted in higher residual moisture and acid values and a lower refractive index, indicating greater hydrolytic deterioration.

This version is not peer-reviewed. You are already at the latest version Healthy lifestyle behaviors established during childhood shape health trajectories across the lifespan. Although considerable evidence supports the benefits of physical activity, healthy eating, adequate sleep, and limited sedentary behavior, interventions targeting these behaviors often yield modest and short-term effects.

You are already at the latest version Tropical Amazonian forests serve as critical carbon reservoirs, although their storage capacity varies significantly depending on the topographic, hydrologic, and successional heterogeneity of the landscape.

You are already at the latest version Amenity migration and associated land-use changes are transforming working rangelands as new landowners with diverse stewardship objectives increasingly manage smaller, fragmented properties. Explanations of stewardship outcomes often emphasize individual knowledge and capacity while giving less attention to the broader social–ecological conditions affecting private-land sustainability.

This version is not peer-reviewed. You are already at the latest version Security operations centres (SOCs) face two simultaneous mandates: keep the network traffic they analyse private, and make their AI-based detectors explainable. These goals are usually assumed to be in tension, because in image and language models differential privacy (DP) is reported to degrade post-hoc explanations.

You are already at the latest version Under conditions of gradual depletion of gas-condensate field reserves and declining well production rates, one of the key challenges in operating offshore production facilities is improving the energy efficiency and reliability of process equipment, particularly compressor stations used for gas gathering, treatment, and transportation.

You are already at the latest version Efficient simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal typically requires either separate tanks with oxic and anoxic conditions or aerobic granular sludge (AGS) with granules larger than 0.2 mm. In this study, we cultivated small granular flocs (50-100 µm) capable of simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) in a sequencing batch reactor.
