Variation in herbivore defense strategies among plant species differing in elevational distribution and the role of temperature in defense

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Temperature influences the distribution and performance of both plants and insect herbivores. Consequently, plant–herbivore interactions are likely to vary across thermal gradients, which could affect the evolution of plant defense. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations may elicit immediate changes in defense.

The effect of citrus essential oil encapsulation on antioxidant capacity and bacterial growth in a milk matrix during storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2352-2360, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The functionality of food can be improved by supplementing it with bioactive substances. However, the interactions between these substances and food components can compromise their functional efficacy. This study investigated the potential to reduce functional losses by encapsulating citrus essential oil (CEO) in zein particles (ZPs)

Valuation and hedging of the ruin-contingent life annuity (RCLA) [PDF]

, 2012
This paper analyzes a novel type of mortality contingent-claim called a ruin-contingent life annuity (RCLA). This product fuses together a path-dependent equity put option with a "personal longevity" call option. The annuitant's (i.e.

Mechanistic two‐pathway modeling of substrate inhibition in lactic acid bacteria for enhanced fermentation control

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Substrate inhibition in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation occurs when substrate concentration exceeds a critical value, leading to reduced cell growth and thus inefficient lactic acid production. Many efforts, including experimental and kinetic models, have been devoted to elucidate the possible mechanisms of substrate inhibition ...

Alfalfa‐Based Dehydrated Silage Pellet as a Source of Nutrients in Laying Hens: I. Effects on Animal Performance and Egg Quality

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Alfalfa‐based silage pellets (ABSP) showed significant results regarding production performance, yolk colour and ω‐3 (PUFAs), as well as the ratio ω‐6/ω‐3 (p < 0.05). The ABSP group also exhibited a higher abundance of beneficial bacteria and a lower abundance of pathogenic bacteria compared to the control group (p < 0.05).

Automatic parameter update algorithm for regression models to estimate remaining useful life: Application in an offshore natural gas dehydration unit

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 935-952, February 2026.
Abstract Remaining useful life (RUL) analysis of equipment prevents failures and assists in maintenance to address impending failures. To achieve this, the advancement of degradation can be measured through a determinant variable. This work presents a new methodology for estimating the number of remaining cycles (NRC), or RUL, of equipment in cyclic ...

Gompertz Function Approach: Numerical Integration for Microbial Growth Problem

Applied and Computational Mathematics
In this work, we developed a numerical integrator using the Gompertz function model approach with the basic parameters as highlighted by Gompertz in finding and measure the growth in human cells as a basis function involving exponential, logarithmic, and polynomial, hence implemented the numerical integrator to solve problems arising in microbial ...
