ABSTRACT Understanding the chemical and behavioural ecology of the Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is essential for developing effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in South American soybean production. This study investigated the courtship behaviour and diel periodicity of sex pheromone emission.

Combined IL‐15 and thymosin α1 therapy reverses CD8+ T cell senescence in hepatocellular carcinoma via a “supply and boost” strategy. Tα1 restores thymic naïve T cell output, while IL‐15 enhances peripheral effector function. Mechanistically, this combination suppresses overactivated PI3K/AKT signaling, restoring antitumor immunity and prolonging ...

The Core‐Periphery Model Under Additively Separable Preferences
ABSTRACT This paper reexamines Krugman's core‐periphery model by substituting his constant elasticity of substitution (CES) utility with a general additively separable utility that comprehensively captures the pro‐competitive effect while preserving the income effect.

Testing Distributional Granger Causality With Entropic Optimal Transport
ABSTRACT We develop a novel nonparametric test for Granger causality in distribution based on entropic optimal transport. Unlike classical mean‐based approaches, the proposed method directly compares the full conditional distributions of a response variable with and without the history of a candidate predictor.

ABSTRACT Base excision repair (BER) is a critical pathway for repairing damaged DNA bases in cells; however, the mechanisms of protein recruitment and interaction in this pathway remain largely unexplored in higher plants. In this study, we used ‘84K’ poplar (Populus alba × P.

A disulfide linked model of the complement protein C8 gamma complexed with C8 alpha indel peptide
In a recent study C8 gamma (complement protein) with Cys40Ala substitution and a C8 alpha derived peptide with Cys164Ala substitution were co-crystallized and their binding mode was revealed. Computer modeling and molecular dynamics simulations were performed in order to check the hypothesis that the residues Ala164 of C8 alpha and Ala40 of C8 gamma ...

“I had to open my eyes”—A narrative approach to studying the process of adult belief change
Abstract Why do people, socialized and sedimented in their political beliefs, change their convictions in adulthood? Belief change has a long history of research in the social sciences. Yet, in quantitative research, belief change is studied largely through cognitive and behavioral lenses, that, however valuable, struggle to capture how people ...

Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?
ABSTRACT We consider the welfare impacts of US tariff policy at levels proposed by President Donald J. Trump. General‐equilibrium simulations under a widely used transparent one‐sector trade model reveal sizable US welfare losses. When we extend the model to include bilateral firm selection and high resolution input–output linkages, the US losses ...
