Properties of polylactic acid and biochar-based composites for environment-friendly plant containers
Cleaner Engineering and TechnologyTraditional, petroleum-based plastics are known to linger in the environment for years due to their non-biodegradability and non-sustainability, eventually fragmenting into microplastics and contaminating waterways and agricultural systems.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In microglia, STAT3 upregulates TAB2, which promotes NF‐κB activation through its NZF domain‐mediated recognition of K63‐linked ubiquitin chains, leading to inflammatory cytokine release and subsequent neuronal injury. Lumacaftor suppresses TAB2 expression and directly binds the TAB2‐NZF domain to interrupt K63 ubiquitin recognition, thereby blocking ...

Comparison of several closure approximations for evaluating the thermoelastic properties of an injection molded short-fiber composite [PDF]
, 2007 The accurate prediction of both the elastic properties and the thermal expansion coefficients is very important for the precise simulation of such processes as injection molding of short-fiber polymer-matrix composites.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the final decade of the 20th century, Latin American countries have increasingly regarded the signing of regional trade agreements (RTAs) as a promising strategy for expanding their exports. Within this context, the main objective of this study is to assess the impact of RTAs on agri‐food exports in Latin America over the period 1990 ...

From Swarm to Individual: Emergent Individuality in Light‐Mediated Robot Collectives
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Can individuality emerge from a swarm? Using nominally homogeneous phototactic robots, we show that collective light conditions reorganize robot‐level behavioral profiles. Global illumination amplifies persistent differences in state occupancy, while robot‐mounted local light cues reduce fixed differentiation and favor transient high‐switching profiles.
