Research needs for Chagas disease prevention.

, 2010
We present an overview of the two main strategies for the primary (vector control) and secondary (patient care) prevention of Chagas disease (CD). We identify major advances, knowledge gaps, and key research needs in both areas.

Advancing Soil Organic Carbon Prediction: A Comprehensive Review of Technologies, AI, Process‐Based and Hybrid Modelling Approaches

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights advances in soil organic carbon (SOC) quantification using remote sensing, proximal soil sensing, AI (ML and DL), and biogeochemical modelling. Integrating diverse data sources and models improves SOC prediction accuracy. Key priorities include enhancing data availability, refining models, incorporating microbial processes, and ...

Tolerance to air exposure of the New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca) as a prerequisite to survival in overland translocations [PDF]

, 2013
Spreading throughout a new ecosystem is the last step of an exotic species to become invasive. In the case of invasive aquatic molluscs, tolerance to air exposure is one of the main mechanisms allowing overland translocation and spreading.

A Systematic Computational Framework for Practical Identifiability Analysis in Mathematical Models Arising from Biology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A systematic computational framework is developed for practical identifiability analysis in biological models. The framework establishes a rigorous definition, introduces efficient coordinate‐based identifiability metrics, and proposes novel regularization strategies.

Establishment of a self-propagating population of the African malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis under semi-field conditions

Malaria Journal, 2010
Background The successful control of insect disease vectors relies on a thorough understanding of their ecology and behaviour. However, knowledge of the ecology of many human disease vectors lags behind that of agricultural pests.

Ecological genomics and speciation in malaria vector mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2016
Malaria vector control campaigns generate rapid changes to ecology with concomitant selective pressures on their targets. Malaria mosquitoes, therefore, present an excellent system for studying ecological adaptation alongside the medical importance of understanding the evolution of insecticide resistance.

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.

Anthocyanins Prevent Mastitis Exacerbation by Inhibiting PANoptosis Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PANoptosis activation is an effective therapeutic target during mastitis progression, and Gasdermin D activation is key factor contributing to blood milk barrier damage during mastitis, while cyanidin 3‐O‐galactoside can inhibit these targets to exert a protective effect. Therefore, the extraction of key active ingredients from plants for the treatment

Regeneration of the native sand dune plant Pimelea arenaria in the lower North Island, New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2003
New Zealand has 300,000 ha of coastal sand dunes in which many native species and introduced plant and animal species are established. One native plant inhabiting dune ecosystems is Pimelea arenaria (Thymeleaceae), the native sand daphne, which is ...

Artificial Intelligence Is Stereotypically Linked More with Socially Dominant Groups in Natural Language

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AI is not seen through an unbiased lens. People tend to stereotype AI as competent and link it with socially advantaged groups—such as men, the wealthy, the young, and prestigious occupations—raising concerns that such perceptions may deepen existing social divides rather than bridge them.
