In planta fluxapyroxad gradients from seed treatment differentially select fungicide‐sensitive and reduced‐sensitive genotypes of Pyrenophora teres f. maculata

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spatial concentration gradients of seed‐applied fluxapyroxad within barley create heterogeneous exposure environments, driving differential suppression of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor‐sensitive Pyrenophora teres f. maculata isolates and enrichment of reduced‐sensitive genotypes, thereby shaping within‐host fungicide resistance selection dynamics ...

Situated L2 pronunciation instruction during small-group robot-assisted language learning activities

Language Teaching Research
Chatbots and other conversational agents based on speech recognition and processing technologies have been gaining ground in the field of language education. Although previous research has shown that automatic recognition of second language (L2) speech is difficult, little attention has been paid to how L2 teachers and learners interact with such ...

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a

Spectroscopic Analysis of Hydration Structures in PEG‐ and PMPC‐Containing Hydrogels by Pressure‐Controlled ATR‐IR Combined With Multivariate Curve Resolution

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydration structures govern the properties and functions of hydrogels, yet selectively measuring hydration water in the presence of abundant bulk water remains analytically challenging. Here we applied pressure‐controlled attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐IR) combined with multivariate curve resolution (MCR) analysis, a ...

Electrochemical and Biological Evaluation of Patterned TiO2@TiC‐Nanowires for Bio‐Interface Electrode

Small, EarlyView.
This study introduces a room‐temperature process to fabricate patterned TiO2@TiC core–shell nanowires, merging the biocompatibility of TiO2‐NWs with the high conductivity of TiC. Through sputtering pressure and time modulation, the nanowires morphology and electrochemical properties are tuned, enabling enhanced capacitance, stability, and guided ...

Competitive SELEX Strategy for High‐Affinity Aptamer Isolation and Enhanced Biosensing

Small, EarlyView.
A novel competitive SELEX strategy was developed to isolate high‐affinity aptamers by using a lower‐affinity competitor during the selection process. This approach enabled the identification of an aptamer with exceptional binding affinity, significantly improving target detection sensitivity.

Polarity‐engineered Sn‐Ti cluster photoresists for sub‐10‐nm high‐resolution lithography

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Enhancing the polarity of clusters can optimize their patterning performance; inspired by this strategy, we designed polarity‐enhanced Sn‐Ti oxo clusters via ligand engineering. The optimal TS‐3 with exposure‐induced polarity switch achieves 8 nm patterning in lithography and achieves simultaneous improvement in resolution and patterning performance ...

Swedish exotic vowels in L2 pronunciation

, 2017
Learning a new language as an adult is often a hard task, particularly the pronunciation of new speech sounds. Earlier research has shown (e.g., Bannert, 1990; Zetterholm & Tronnier, 2017) that second language learners of Swedish have difficulties ...

Unraveling the effect of topological structures of B/N‐doped conjugated macrocycles on spectral properties: A computational study

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Herein, we constructed a series of fully B‐doped, fully N‐doped and hybrid B/N‐doped conjugated macrocycles considering three key topological factors. At a fixed ring size, the spectra initially redshift then blueshift with varying B/N ratio, while ring size exhibits negligible impact on spectra.
