Viral infection triggers monomerization and nuclear translocation of the salicylic acid receptor NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS‐RELATED GENES1 (NPR1) to activate pathogenesis‐related gene expression. Nevertheless, viruses have developed one or more proteins to target NPR1 and impair its functionality through mechanisms such as inducing its degradation ...

(n-2)-tightness and curvature of submanifolds with boundary
The purpose of this note is to establish a connection between the notion of (n−2)-tightness in the sense of N.H. Kuiper and T.F. Banchoff and the total absolute curvature of compact submanifolds-with-boundary of even dimension in Euclidean space.

Integrable lambda models and Chern-Simons theories
In this note we reveal a connection between the phase space of lambda models on S 1 × ℝ $$ {S}^1\times \mathbb{R} $$ and the phase space of double Chern-Simons theories on D × ℝ $$ D\times \mathbb{R} $$ and explain in the process the origin of the non ...

Supersymmetry and superstrata in three dimensions
We analyze the supersymmetry transformations of gauged SO(4) supergravity coupled to extra hypermultiplets in three dimensions, and find large families of smooth BPS solutions that preserve four supersymmetries.

Abstract Plants are exposed to infection and predation by organisms from most kingdoms of life, including their own. Layers of molecular defence mechanisms have evolved to limit damage and disease from microbial and insect pathogens, and plants can also defend themselves against attack by members of their own kingdom.

Mapping Corporate Investments Between China and Europe in an Era of Geoeconomic Competition
Abstract The consolidation of geoeconomic competition puts core aspects of global economic interdependence, such as the mutual China‐EU investment relationship, under increased pressure. Headlines about ‘derisking’, ‘decoupling’ or ‘deglobalization’ dominate current debates but tend to be overly simplistic.

Quantum Geometric Moment Encodes Stacking Order of Moiré Matter
The Berry curvature dipole (BCD) changes across valley Chern transitions. A new electrical technique is developed to use such BCD sign flips for distinguishing the stacking order of a moiré material, namely twisted double bilayer graphene. Such a method, analogous to spectroscopic techniques, establishes a link between quantum geometry and stacking ...

ABSTRACT Despite the highly controlled algorithmic work environment, on‐demand labor platform workers may devise strategies to enhance their algorithmic competency (AC), facilitating better adaptation to the system. Yet, the proactive engagement of platform workers with algorithms remains underexplored in empirical research.

ABSTRACT The genetic structure and demographic history of marine organisms are shaped by a variety of factors including biological and ecological characteristics, ocean currents, and the palaeogeological effects of sea‐level fluctuations. Here we present a comprehensive method combining population genomics, laboratory experiments, and ocean modelling ...

Abstract Ensuring the safety of water networks is a research hotspot in the current water conservancy industry, and dams are an important part. However, over time, the dam is prone to varying degrees of aging and disease, most of which are structural cracks.
