Selective Activism: Co‐Partisan Engagement in US Foreign Policy

Legislative Studies Quarterly, Volume 51, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In the US Congress, rising partisanship in foreign policymaking has heightened pressure on co‐partisans to defer to the president. Simultaneously, post–Cold War expectations for congressional engagement have pushed legislators to be more active in foreign affairs. How do co‐partisan members balance these conflicting demands?

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3032-3047, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

Four non-starch polysaccharides isolated from Chinese yams exhibit varied immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects in zebrafish and mice

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
The growth conditions and varieties of Chinese yam significantly affect the monosaccharide composition in non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs). Studying the extraction efficiency and biological functions of NSPs in different yam varieties is important. This

Effects of elevated CO2 concentration on growth and photosynthesis of Chinese yam under different temperature regimes

Plant Production Science, 2017
Chinese yam (‘yam’) was grown at different carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]), namely, ambient and elevated (ambient + 200 μmol mol−1), under low- and high-temperature regimes in summer and autumn, separately. For comparison, rice was also grown under

Modeling the Multi-band Afterglows of GRB 060614 and GRB 060908: Further Evidence for a Double Power-Law Hard Electron Energy Spectrum

, 2018
Electrons accelerated in relativistic collisionless shocks are usually assumed to follow a power-law energy distribution with an index of $p$. Observationally, although most gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have afterglows that are consistent with $p>2$, there ...

SN 2010jl in UGC 5189: Yet another luminous type IIn supernova in a metal-poor galaxy

, 2011
We present ASAS data starting 25 days before the discovery of the recent type IIn SN 2010jl, and we compare its light curve to other luminous IIn SNe, showing that it is a luminous (M_I ~ -20.5) event.
