Do temporary changes in earnings caused by mean reversion affect firms’ refinancing decisions?
Abstract We develop a dynamic two‐stage trade‐off model with refinancing when earnings are mean reverting. Our model predicts a negative relation between profitability and leverage at refinancing due to conservative debt increases. With multiple rounds of refinancing, the leverage–profitability relation may turn positive when firms have substantial ...

A new Generalization of Extended Beta and Hypergeometric Functions
A new generalization of extended beta function and its various properties, integral representations and distribution are given in this paper. In addition, we establish the generalization of extended hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions ...

Abstract Visual cues are of critical importance for the attraction of animal pollinators, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underpinning intraspecific floral colour variation. Here, we combined comparative spectral analysis, targeted metabolite profiling, multi‐tissue transcriptomics, differential gene expression, sequence ...

ABSTRACT Early‐life experiences can predict the environments experienced later in life, giving individuals an opportunity to develop adaptive behaviour appropriate to a likely future environment. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation (DNAm) have been implicated in developmental behavioural plasticity; however, studies investigating this ...

Summary With changes in complex environments, plants, especially their leaves, are constantly adapting. Aquatic plants face more diverse and harsh survival situations. However, their adaptive mechanisms are largely unknown. Euryale ferox is a floating leaf aquatic plant characterized by large and rapidly expanding leaves that serve as a model for ...

ABSTRACT Salt‐stress priming enhances the tolerance of plants against subsequent exposure to a similar stress. Priming‐induced transcriptomic reprogramming is mediated by multiple epigenetic mechanisms, the best known of which is histone modifications. However, not much is known about other epigenetic responses.

The Potential Role of Egg‐Derived Xeno‐miRs in Chemotherapy Response: An In Silico Approach
Dietary microRNAs (Xeno‐miRs), especially those homologous to human miRNAs found in animal‐based foods, may influence chemotherapy responses across cancer types. This study highlights the underexplored potential of human homolog egg‐derived Xeno‐miRs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Rapid and chemically diverse C transfer from trees to mycorrhizal fruit bodies in the forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are common belowground tree symbionts, supplying trees with water and nutrients. In return, large amounts of C assimilated by trees can be allocated into EMF. However, the chemical forms in which the C is transferred from trees to fungi under

ABSTRACT The current study investigated the functional role of long non‐coding RNA SNHG14 (lncRNA SNHG14) in gastric cancer (GC) progression and its underlying mechanisms. Compared with para‐carcinoma tissues, SNHG14 was upregulated in GC tissues, correlating with a poor prognosis in GC patients.
