The Roles of Vocabulary Size, Word Part Knowledge, and Semantic Transparency in Vocabulary Learning Through the Word Part Technique

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1615-1627, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the influence of learner‐ and word‐related variables on L2 vocabulary learning through the word part technique (WPT), a morphological mnemonic designed to strengthen form–meaning associations through knowledge of affixes and stems.

Combinatorial Synthesis of Next Generation Water‐Soluble Quaternized N‐Halamine Oligomers with Long‐Lasting Antiviral Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 28, 7 April 2026.
A combinatorial library of dual‐functional antiviral oligomers incorporating N‐halamine and quaternary ammonium functionalities is developed for long‐lasting antiviral activity. The lead materials exhibit rapid and durable antiviral activity against SARS‐CoV‐2 variants and influenza H1N1, with 4 to 5 log reduction in viral copies at 5 mg mL−1 ...

Murine Cytomegalovirus Deubiquitinase Regulates Viral Chemokine Levels To Control Inflammation and Pathogenesis

mBio, 2017
Maintaining control over inflammatory processes represents a paradox for viral pathogens. Although many viruses induce host inflammatory responses to facilitate infection, control is necessary to avoid overactivation.

A Novel Topical Emollient Plus for Canine Atopic Dermatitis: A Clinical Trial Assessing Efficacy and User Acceptance

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 293-305, April 2026.
Background: Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a common, chronic skin condition characterised by epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation and cutaneous dysbiosis. While “emollient plus” formulations are widely used in human atopic dermatitis, their role in cAD remains underexplored. Hypothesis/Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and

Reduced Tillage Intercropping With Thymus hyemalis Reshapes the Rare Soil Microbiome and Co‐Occurrence Networks in a Semi‐Arid Almond Orchard

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmentally friendly farming practices are gaining interest, and intercropping is a promising option to protect soil health, yet its effects on orchard microbiomes and functions remain underexplored. In this study, we assessed a 3‐year intercropping assay of Capparis spinosa (D1) and Thymus hyemalis (D2) with almond and reduced tillage in ...

Fitting of mechanical material behaviour of structural steel for numerical modelling

Steel Construction, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 83-98, February 2026.
Abstract Numerical simulations are widely used in structural engineering research, and validated models enable the efficient expansion of datasets without costly additional testing. They allow the investigation of alternative geometries and loading scenarios beyond those covered by experiments.

Widespread sequence variations in VAMP1 across vertebrates suggest a potential selective pressure from botulinum neurotoxins. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT/A-G), the most potent toxins known, act by cleaving three SNARE proteins required for synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Previous studies on BoNTs have generally utilized the major SNARE homologues expressed in brain (VAMP2 ...
