Silicon Microring Resonator Biosensor for Detection of Nucleocapsid Protein of SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesSensors
A high-sensitivity silicon microring (Si MRR) optical biosensor for detecting the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 is proposed and demonstrated. In the proposed biosensor, the surface of a Si MRR waveguide is modified with antibodies, and the target ...

Do People Get the Friends They Want? A Cross‐Cultural Investigation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Psychology, Volume 61, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT People desire friends who have qualities such as similarity, the ability to provide support, opportunities for socialisation, assistance in achieving self‐serving goals and access to potential mates. In the current study, we aimed to examine the degree of overlap between the friends people consider ideal and those they actually have.

Tn‐seq of Thermus thermophilus Genome Reveals Unexpected Tolerance to Insertions in Bacterial Common Essential Genes

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Tn‐seq analysis of Thermus thermophilus genome reveals insertions in almost all genes, this is, there is no clear discrimination of essential genes. A similar result has not been reported in other Tn‐seq analysis of bacterial genomes so far. The polyploidy of the Thermus genome could explain the apparent non‐essentiality of key genes.

Sequence‐Based and Functional Analysis for the Discovery of N‐Glycan Degrading Glycosidases From the Microbial Metagenome of the Infant Gut

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
This research offers valuable understanding of how N‐glycans are broken down by the gut microbiota of infants, focusing on glycoside hydrolase families GH2, GH20, and GH18. It reveals that the gut microbiota of breastfed infants has a diverse array of genes coding for these enzymes.

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2949-2959, April 2026.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Alternative processing for micro rain radar (MRR) observations

open access: yes, 2018
The most common function of weather radars is to provide a description of the precipitation field, typically in four dimensions: temporal evolution of a 3D field, including characteristics of precipitation and rainfall intensity. Some radars, as the one used in this study, are designed to observe only vertical profiles.

Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery (POPPY): baseline data from day surgery practice in the UK

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 477-488, April 2026.
Summary Introduction Most patients undergoing elective surgery in the UK are discharged from hospital on the same day. Despite this, there is a lack of UK patient‐centred outcome measures relating to quality of recovery, pain and analgesic use. The POPPY study was a UK‐wide prospective, observational study measuring short‐ and longer‐term patient ...

Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery (POPPY): chronic post‐surgical pain prevalence and associations*

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 489-499, April 2026.
Summary Introduction Day‐case surgical activity is increasing in the UK yet there is a lack of data on the prevalence of chronic post‐surgical pain in this population. This study uses data from the POPPY study to estimate the prevalence of chronic post‐surgical pain after day‐case surgery, its relationship with quality of life and also explores ...
