The Value of Bt Corn in Southwest Kansas: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach [PDF]
While most Corn Belt farmers consider planting Bt corn to control European corn borer, southwestern Kansas farmers must also take into account an array of other insect pests, including corn rootworm, spider mites, and southwestern corn borer.

Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.CircZNF148 stabilizes HK1 through deubiquitinase recruitment, thereby enhancing glycolysis and lactate production. Elevated lactate promotes PD‑L1 lactylation and membrane accumulation while suppressing CD8+ T‐cell cytotoxicity, collectively facilitating immune evasion and malignant progression in TNBC.

Dipolar Coupling Errors in Nuclear Spin Qubits
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Multi‐nuclear spin registers of phosphorus‐atom qubits in silicon have demonstrated 99.99% single and >$>$99.9% two qubit gate fidelities. Despite nanometer separation, read‐out fidelities between individual nuclear spins within the register are not identical.
