Embodied, Enacted, and Multimodal: Exploring Science Teachers’ Metaphors in Authentic Classroom Contexts

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, science education research has extensively examined the role of metaphors in teaching and learning science. However, much of the existing research has focused on verbal manifestations of metaphors, thereby overlooking aspects of metaphors that may occur in non‐verbal form. This study reconceptualises metaphors as dynamic

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Biosynthesis and Characterization of LiFePO4/C Composite Using Baker’s Yeast

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2018
Based on the biosynthesis method, an ellipsoidal LiFePO4/C composite is successfully prepared by a simple and effective biomimetic hydrothermal method. Baker’s yeast cells not only as structural templates but also as bio-carbon sources in the process of ...

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Uncovering the role of the PPR protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR6 in splicing chloroplast group II introns

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The P‐class pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR (PBF6) forms splicing complexes with other known splicing factors to facilitate chloroplast intron splicing. PBF6 cooperates with other PPR splicing factors to promote the splicing of the same intron through forming respective splicing complexes.
