Indo-Uralic and Altaic [PDF]

, 2010
Elsewhere I have argued that the Indo-European verbal system can be understood in terms of its Indo-Uralic origins because the reconstructed Indo-European endings can be derived from combinations of Indo-Uralic morphemes by a series of well-motivated ...

Supply Chain Configuration Adaptations of Highly‐Polluting Firms in Response to Shocks From Environmental Pressures: Case for Centralization or Diversification?

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 1403-1425, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how environmental regulatory shocks affect the supply chain configuration of highly polluting firms, a relatively understudied area in the sustainable operations literature. Using a panel dataset of Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2009 to 2022, we employ a Difference‐in‐Differences (DID) design to examine the causal ...

Evaluation of performance and stability in response to multiple environments in maize

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Frequently occurring extreme weather events and environmental changes may significantly reduce corn (Zea mays L.) yields. Thus, the selection of favorable traits and stable genotypes has emerged as a fundamental objective of breeding programs aimed at countering adverse weather effects. Field experiments in eight environments were conducted in

Near-infrared and optical observations of galactic warps: A common, unexplained feature of most discs [PDF]

, 2010
Context: Warps occurring in galactic discs have been studied extensively in HI and in the optical, but rarely in the near-infrared (NIR) bands that trace the older stellar populations. Aims: We provide NIR data of nearby edge-on galaxies, combined with

Structural insights into how vacuolar sorting receptor recognizes the C‐terminal sorting determinant of a vicilin‐like seed storage protein

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 1, Page 257-270, January 2026.
Soluble cargo proteins are sorted to the vacuoles via a receptor‐mediated mechanism. Combining crystallographic and mutagenesis studies, we showed how the C‐terminal sorting determinant (ctVSD) of vicilin‐like seed storage protein VL22 is recognized by the protease‐associated domain of Arabidopsis vacuolar‐sorting receptor 1.
