Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

The Effect of Vortex Generators on Spray Deposition and Drift from an Agricultural Aircraft

AgriEngineering
Vortex generators (VGs) attached to the leading edge of an agricultural aircraft are purported to control airflow over the upper surface of the wing by creating small vortices that delay boundary layer separation, thereby improving the performance of the

Synergistic Effect of Ambient Ozone, Relative Humidity, and Temperature on Epidemic Patterns of Influenza: A Hypothesis and Its Verification

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms underlying seasonal patterns in influenza epidemics have long been an enigma. Our laboratory study revealed that ambient ozone significantly inactivates airborne influenza viruses synergistically with higher relative humidity and temperature.

Comparing Trunk Applications and Off-Target Movement from a Backpack Sprayer and an Air-Assisted Sprayer with and without Laser-Guided Variable-Rate Technology

HortScience
Red maple (Acer rubrum) trees produced in single-row and triple-row blocks were sprayed with a CO2 backpack sprayer outfitted with a custom-made, dual-nozzle wand and an air-assisted, “air-blast” sprayer equipped with intelligent, laser-guided variable ...

Kinetics of Antibody Responses and Effector Cell Sensitivity After High Dose Birch Extract Nasal Challenge

Allergy, EarlyView.
High‐dose birch‐extract nasal challenge induced synchronous peaks at 4 weeks in serum specific IgE (sIgE) and basophil sensitivity. Mast cell sensitivity via tSPT and sIgG1 and sIgG4 responses peaked later, at 6–8 weeks. Preseasonal allergen exposure attenuated seasonal sIgE increase and prevented further rise in tSPT sensitivity.

Multiplexed Nanosensors for Real‐Time Monitoring of VOC‐Mediated Signalling Response in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance crop performance, intercropping strategies leverage volatile organic compound (VOC)‐driven interactions with companion plants that constitutively emit VOCs. Despite the agricultural importance, the mechanisms and kinetics of VOC‐mediated sensory transduction in receiver plants eavesdropping on neighbouring non‐kin emitters remain ...

Phenotypic scoring of canola blackleg severity using machine learning image analysis

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Canola blackleg is a fungal disease that causes significant yield loss and plant death of infected canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L., Brassica juncea L.) fields worldwide. One of the most effective methods for controlling blackleg is through the cultivation of resistant varieties.

A Lagrangian Time‐Series Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Concentrations and Exploring Drivers of Atmospheric Aerosols: Model Development and Application to Cloud Condensation Nuclei in Marine Boundary Layer

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric aerosols play critical roles in climate and air quality. Accurately assessing their environmental impacts requires understanding aerosol abundance, distribution, and the key factors and processes that control them. Although machine learning is increasingly used in predicting aerosol concentrations, its application in exploring ...

Characterization of the movement of spray drift past a shelterbelt [PDF]

, 2008
Pesticide use is an important component of the agricultural industry. Pesticides are typically applied to crops as a droplet spray, and these droplets are susceptible to off-target movement due to wind, which is called spray drift.

The GFDL's Aerosol Microphysics Model (GLAMM) Part 1: Model Description and Aerosol Evaluation With Observational Constraints

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract This paper describes the development and application of GLAMM (GFDL's Aerosol Microphysics Model) within the GFDL atmospheric model AM4.0 framework. Unlike the bulk aerosol schemes previously used in AM4.0, GLAMM employs a modal representation that explicitly tracks the evolution of aerosol mass and number concentrations and accounts for ...
