Maize Kernel Composition and Morphology Influences Pericarp Retention During Nixtamalization
Abstract Background and Objectives Pericarp retention during nixtamalization directly influences masa quality, affecting texture, machinability, and nutritional content of staple foods such as tortillas and chips. Despite its industrial relevance, the underlying kernel traits that govern pericarp retention remain poorly characterized.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

Turnaround Time Trends in Cervical Cytology Screening in South Africa, 2005–2023
ABSTRACT Background Timely cervical cytology results are crucial for effective screening and early management of precancerous lesions. However, many low‐ and middle‐income countries face delays in turnaround time (TAT). This study assessed TAT for cytology screening results in South Africa from 2005 to 2023 and identified factors associated with TAT ...
