Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. The accurate prediction of HABs is crucial for their proactive preparation and management. While mechanism-based numerical modeling, such as the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC), has been widely used in the past, the recent development of machine learning techn...

An adsorbent material derived from alfalfa leaves was prepared and further characterized, and its efficacy for removing aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was investigated. Characterization consisted of the use of attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), X-ray fluorescence ...

Pectoralis Minor Syndrome (PMS) causes significant discomfort due to the compression of the neurovascular bundle within the retropectoralis minor space. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections have emerged as a potential treatment method; however, their effectiveness depends on accurately locating the injection site. In this study, we aimed to ident...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia. The pore-forming cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) pneumolysin (PLY) and the physiological metabolite hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can greatly increase the virulence of pneumococci. Although most studies have focused on the contribution of both virulence factors to the c...

DNA ligases are essential enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair processes in all organisms. These enzymes seal DNA breaks by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between juxtaposed 5' phosphate and 3' hydroxyl termini in double-stranded DNA. In addition to their critical roles in maintaining genomic integrity, DNA ligases have ...

Open or short-circuit faults, as well as discrete parameter faults, are the most commonly used models in the simulation prior to testing methodology. However, since analog circuits exhibit continuous responses to input signals, faults in specific circuit elements may not fully capture all potential component faults. Consequently, diagnosing faults ...

Hypersialylation is a common post-translational modification of protein and lipids found on cancer cell surfaces, which participate in cell-cell interactions and in the regulation of immune responses. Sialic acids are a family of nine-carbon α-keto acids found at the outermost ends of glycans attached to cell surfaces. Given their locations on cell...

Almost half of all chondrichthyan species in the Mediterranean Sea are threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN Red List. Due to a substantial lack of access to data on chondrichthyan catches in the Mediterranean Sea, especially of threatened species, the implementation of conservation measures is extremely insufficient. This also concerns...

Bees (Apoidea), the largest and most crucial radiation of pollinators, play a vital role in the ecosystem balance. Transposons are widely distributed in nature and are important drivers of species diversity. However, transposons are rarely reported in important pollinators such as bees. Here, we surveyed 37 bee genomesin Apoidea, annotated the pogo...

Regeneration is usually regarded as a unique plant or some animal species process. In reality, regeneration is a ubiquitous process in all multicellular organisms. It ranges from response to wounding by healing the wounded tissue to whole body neoforming (remaking of the new body). In a larger context, regeneration is one facet of two reproduction ...
