Intensive Swallowing Rehabilitation for Head and Neck Cancer Survivors With Chronic Dysphagia: Outcomes From a Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study With 6‐Month Follow‐Up

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic dysphagia persists in some head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors despite preventive exercises, negatively impacting quality of life. Evidence for effective rehabilitation strategies remains limited. Methods This prospective cohort study included 34 HNC survivors (≥ 1 year post‐treatment) who completed a 3‐week intensive ...

Towards the elimination of infectious endogenous Banana streak virus sequences from Musa balbisiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Infectious endogenous sequences of several Banana streak virus species are present in the genome of Musa balbisiana spp, which are important progenitors for breeding improved banana varieties. Once activated by biotic or abiotic stresses, these sequences

A Novel Type of Fluorescent Chlorophyll Catabolites Hypermodified by Lipophilic Chloroplast Membrane Components

open access: yesHelvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
Breakdown of chlorophyll (Chl) is a fundamental biological phenomenon. In de‐greening banana leaves, Chl is transformed into colorless “fluorescent” Chl‐catabolites (FCCs) that cause the leaves to luminesce blue. Hypothesis‐driven search for apolar banana‐FCCs, and structure elucidation, have revealed a striking first link between lipid metabolism and ...

Screenhouse-based shade-tolerance assessments of coffee and bean varieties, and cover crops, to optimize multi-strata intercropping in African smallholder systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy
IntroductionIntercropping annuals with perennials such as banana, coffee and trees is widespread in East and Central Africa, where farms are typically small and fragmented.

An Intrinsically Multimodal Self‐Powered Sensor Enhanced by Microstructured Powder Layer for AI‐Enabled Tactile Perception

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a self‐powered, intrinsically multimodal tactile sensor capable of both static and dynamic pressure sensing. Enhanced with a microstructured polytetrafluoroethylene powder layer, it enables high‐accuracy material recognition and surface texture classification, offering AI‐compatible tactile perception for robotic systems.

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

ESTIMATION OF IMPERFECT COMPETITION IN FOOD MARKETING: A DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF THE GERMAN BANANA MARKET [PDF]

open access: yes
Several studies have estimated the welfare effects of recent changes in the European Union's common policy on banana imports, based upon the assumption that the market is perfectly competitive.

Integrated virus and infection risk: does the banana streak virus (bsv) threat the banana culture? [Poster-P242] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cultivated bananas mainly stem from intra- and interspecific crosses between two species: Musa acuminata (A genome) and Musa balbisiana (B genome). The B genome harbors viral sequences of Banana streak virus (BSV), inducing the banana streak disease and ...

Two- or three-step assembly of banana-shaped proteins coupled with shape transformation of lipid membranes

open access: yes, 2014
BAR superfamily proteins have a banana-shaped domain that causes the local bending of lipid membranes. We study as to how such a local anisotropic curvature induces effective interaction between proteins and changes the global shape of vesicles and ...

Similarity and substitution: Using pile sorting methods to explore economic behavior

open access: yesJournal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the common intuition that similar products are stronger demand substitutes, this study shows a more nuanced relationship between perceived similarity and utility substitution. Using pile sorting, a method where items are sorted into groups according to their similarity, we conduct large‐scale consumer surveys on purchasing 21 foods for
