Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Biochemical and structural characterization of a tail‐spike protein with depolymerase activity identified in a marine podovirus

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
The marine tail‐spike protein Dpo31 degrades the exopolysaccharide of its host and has structural features similar to those of other members of this protein class, despite similarity not being detected at the sequence level.Marine phages are, through the infection of their bacterial hosts, key regulators of microbiome and carbon fluxes in the ocean ...

Analysts' Cultural Long‐Term Orientation and Their Information Production Orientation culturelle à long terme des analystes et production d'information

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study how analysts' inherited cultural attitudes to time orientation affect their production of long‐term information and the profitability of their stock recommendations. We find that analysts from long‐term‐oriented cultures exhibit a longer forecast horizon and issue more long‐term forecasts.

Do Sustainability Restatements Impair Financial Analysts’ Earnings Forecast Accuracy?

open access: yesAbacus, EarlyView.
This paper examines empirically the association between sustainability restatements (SRS), that is, restatements in sustainability reports, and analyst forecast accuracy, measured by analysts’ forecast errors for current‐year earnings. We find that SRS are related to greater earnings forecast errors, especially when they are related to environmental or

Too good to be true: Synthetic AI faces are more average than real faces and super‐recognizers know it

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The AI revolution has produced synthetic faces that often appear more human than photos of real people. We tested whether individual differences in human face recognition ability explain variation in discriminating AI from real faces. Super‐recognizers – people with exceptional ability to recognize human faces (N = 36) – outperformed a typical
