Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

Policing the safety net: Medical and carceral management of violence in a Los Angeles County public hospital

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Medical anthropologists have long shown how hospitals function as spaces of both care and control, yet the entanglement of policing and trauma care remains understudied. This paper offers an ethnographic account of how trauma surgeons in a Los Angeles County hospital navigate the embedded presence of police within their clinical work.

Path Clustering for Radio Propagation Prediction With Moving Object in Indoor Environment

IEEE Access
To simulate radio propagation in a dynamic indoor environment such as a factory operating with moving people and automated guided vehicles (AGV), we devised a technique to determine shielding losses by moving objects based on ray tracing.

A MYB‐Related Transcriptional Module Cooperatively Represses Xylem Development in Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MYB transcription factors play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and development, but the functions of the MYB‐related subfamily in woody plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized PagMYBR028, an MYB‐related transcription factor from poplar ‘84 K’ (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa), which was predominantly ...

RAP2.3 Is Required for MYB51 and SIGMA3 Expression During the Response of Arabidopsis thaliana to Multifactorial Stress Combination

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In nature, plants are subjected to multiple environmental stress factors simultaneously or sequentially. Recent studies revealed that when three or more stress factors impact a plant simultaneously (termed ‘multifactorial stress combination’; MFSC), plant survival declines, even if the intensity of each individual stress involved in the MFSC ...
