A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Well‐defined cobalt hydride complexes are versatile catalysts. Two key features of HCo(PMe3)4 are that it promotes highly selective 1,2‐hydroboration of quinolines to form N–B‐substituted 1,2‐dihydroquinolines (1,2‐H‐DHQs) under mild conditions, and that its volatile phosphine ligands and high solubility in pentane enable simple purification, allowing ...

The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Minimal Relational Evolution (MRE)
This paper proposes Minimal Relational Evolution (MRE) as the fundamental rule governing state transitions. Evolution proceeds through the smallest admissible relational update consistent with the active constraints of the system: S(n+1)=S(n)+min{ΔR constraints preserved} S^{(n+1)} = S^{(n)} + \min \left\{ \Delta R \;\middle|\; \text{constraints ...

Hybrid density functional theory reveals that Al‐ and P‐related vacancy complexes significantly modify the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of a 2D SiC monolayer. The studied defects exhibit thermodynamic stability, induce notable magnetic moments and spin polarization, and demonstrate tunable charge‐transfer behavior, highlighting their

Compact Tabletop Magnetic Resonance Elastography for Mapping Soft Tissue Viscoelasticity
This work introduces a compact, low‐cost tabletop magnetic resonance elastography platform for high‐resolution viscoelastic mapping in soft‐tissue specimens. Using this method in human colorectal liver metastases, we demonstrate fully automated biomechanical profiling of treatment response and show that heterogeneity‐based metrics outperform ...
