Integrated Profiling of the Nutritional Composition, Phytochemical Attributes, and Antioxidant Capacity of Tropical Nymphaea Accessions

This study evaluates the nutritional composition, phytochemical attributes, and antioxidant capacity of 13 tropical Nymphaea accessions, identifying NY5 as the superior accession and establishing crude protein, amino acids, phenolics, and flavonoids as key determinants of antioxidant potential to guide future germplasm characterization.

Muscle Symptoms Define a Stable Physiological Dysregulation Cluster in ME/CFS: Sex- and Menopause-Related Differences in Symptom Expression

This study of 745 ME/CFS patients reveals that muscle symptoms serve as a central bridge within a stable, latent physiological dysregulation cluster involving respiratory, cardiovascular, and other multisystem manifestations, while demonstrating that the specific expression of this cluster varies significantly by sex and menopausal status.

Diurnal Tidal Currents in the Gulf of Tonkin and the Qiongzhou Strait: Regime Characterization with Implications for Navigation and Tidal-Stream Energy

This study characterizes the Gulf of Tonkin's strongly diurnal tidal regime and surface kinetic energy by integrating multi-source data to map spatial variability, explain the significant gap between theoretical and realized power density through standing-wave dynamics, and identify the Qiongzhou Strait as the sole location meeting tidal-stream energy thresholds while highlighting the regime's impact on navigation.

A novel VRS5 isoform untangles pleiotropic effects on barley tillering and row-type

This study demonstrates that targeted mutagenesis of the VRS5α transcript isoform in barley genetically uncouples the pleiotropic functions of the TB1 ortholog, enabling increased tillering while preserving the two-rowed spike architecture through isoform-specific DNA binding mechanisms.

Individual characteristics associated with low back pain in chiropractic students: A cross-sectional study

This cross-sectional study of 510 Canadian chiropractic students identifies that low back pain is highly prevalent and significantly associated with factors such as female gender, academic year, work hours, sedentary behavior, commute time, psychological distress, neck pain, poor sleep, and low student satisfaction.

Investigation of an X1.5 Class Solar Flare Associated with a 3D Null - QSL System in NOAA Active Region 13006

This study investigates the X1.5-class solar flare in NOAA Active Region 13006, revealing that the event was triggered by slipping magnetic reconnection within a circular quasi-separatrix layer and subsequent reconnection at a 3D null point, which transformed a sheared arcade into an erupting flux rope beneath a fan-spine magnetic topology.

Industrial Park Land-Use Composition and Occupancy Performance: Explaining Nonlinear Determinants of Industrial Land Absorption in South Korea

This study utilizes interpretable machine learning on 1,161 South Korean industrial parks to demonstrate that non-linear thresholds in internal land-use composition, particularly the balance between industrial and public facility land, are more decisive for occupancy performance than broad locational factors, thereby advocating for a policy shift from land expansion to targeted functional rebalancing.

Does the level of financial development matter for the fiscal response? A PSTR Approach for EU Countries

This paper employs a Panel Smooth Transition Regression model on EU countries from 2000 to 2019 to demonstrate that the level of financial development significantly shapes fiscal policy, where low development regimes tend to support debt sustainability and pro-cyclical output, while high development regimes often lead to debt unsustainability and counter-cyclical behavior.
