ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.

ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

“I had to open my eyes”—A narrative approach to studying the process of adult belief change
Abstract Why do people, socialized and sedimented in their political beliefs, change their convictions in adulthood? Belief change has a long history of research in the social sciences. Yet, in quantitative research, belief change is studied largely through cognitive and behavioral lenses, that, however valuable, struggle to capture how people ...

Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Abstract Extensive research in humans, dogs, rabbits, rats, mice and other mammals has consistently demonstrated that coronary blood flow (CBF) peaks during ventricular diastole. For example, studies using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in anaesthetized rats and mice, isolated blood‐perfused rat hearts and Doppler probes sutured to the ...

ABSTRACT SHOX gene haploinsufficiency is associated with Léri‐Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) or idiopathic short stature (ISS) and could be caused by the structural and point mutations in the coding region and by the deletions in SHOX gene regulatory sequences. The role of the duplications in regulatory sequences is ambivalent.

Fail‐Controlled Classifiers: A Swiss‐Army Knife Toward Trustworthy Systems
ABSTRACT Background Modern critical systems often require to take decisions and classify data and scenarios autonomously without having detrimental effects on people, infrastructures or the environment, ensuring desired dependability attributes. Researchers typically strive to craft classifiers with perfect accuracy, which should be always correct and ...
