Reactivity of Oxidized Porous Silicon with Calcium Ion in Aqueous Media: Stability, pH Behavior, and Host‐Guest Strategies

Small, EarlyView.
Oxidized porous silicon, composed of an elemental silicon porous skeleton coated with a silica shell, reacts with aqueous Ca2+ to generate a mixed silica–calcium silicate matrix that is remarkably efficient at trapping small molecules. With an emphasis on the engineering of controlled‐release drug delivery systems, this study identifies the factors ...

Electrocatalytically Amplified Immunosensing Enabled by Titanium Oxynitride‐Supported Ru Nanodots on Graphene Oxide Hybrid Architecture

Small, EarlyView.
A synergistic effect among the electrocatalytic Ru/TiON‐GO nanocomposite, biorecognition elements, and the [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox probe for highly sensitive and selective impedimetric detection of PSA protein in human serum was demonstrated. The immunosensor exhibited a limit of detection of only 0.06 ng mL−1 PSA protein, underscoring the importance and ...

Nature‐Inspired Histidine and Guanidine Modification of Magnetic Nanoparticles for Urinary DNA Liquid Biopsy

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Nature‐inspired bi‐functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are engineered for the rapid, non‐invasive extraction of cell‐free DNA from unprocessed urine for liquid biopsy. These cationic particles leverage electrostatic interactions to outperform conventional kits, enhancing the recovery of short DNA fragments while maintaining DNA integrity.

The Longitudinal Relationship Between Language Learning Enjoyment and Out‐of‐Class Exposure: A Random‐Intercept Cross‐Lagged Panel Analysis of Junior Secondary School English Learners

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Foreign language (FL) enjoyment and out‐of‐class FL learning have garnered much attention from both researchers and frontline educators in recent years. The current study set out to contribute to these two burgeoning areas by examining specifically the longitudinal relationships between two types of FL enjoyment (classroom private and out‐of ...

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Assessing the performance of large language models when used to determine ASA status of cats and dogs and generate anaesthetic protocols

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as decision‐support tools in human medicine; however, their evaluation in veterinary anaesthesiology remains limited. Methods We retrospectively analysed 225 anonymised feline and canine cases (American Society of Anaesthesiologists [ASA] classifications 1‒5) from Atatürk University ...

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

Paler within the city: Carotenoid‐based colouration covaries negatively with the proportion of impervious surface in great tit (Parus major) territories across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across six European cities, great tits in more impervious territories had paler carotenoid‐based plumage, but not lower brightness or UV chroma. This suggests that urban habitat imperviousness is associated specifically with lower carotenoid pigment deposition, rather than broad changes in feather reflectance or structural quality.
