Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...

The Pan‐Orthodox Celebration of the 1600th Anniversary of the Council of Nicaea in 1925

The Ecumenical Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the attempts to organize a Pan‐Orthodox Council in the years following the First World War that could gather in 1925 on the occasion of the 1600th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea. While some of these efforts were remarkably ambitious, and although they were not always feasible or fully realized, they

Experimental data of a catalytic decolorization of Ponceau 4R dye using the cobalt (II)/NaHCO3/H2O2 system in aqueous solution

Data in Brief, 2020
The treatment by Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) of wastewater polluted with dyes is of particular interest in the field of environmental engineering, especially for the removal azo-dyes, representing over 50% of the global annual production of dyes.

Effects of N‐Acetylcysteine on Oxidative Status and Intestinal Health in Piglets (Sus scrofa domesticus L.): A PRISMA‐Based Systematic Review

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oxidative stress is a critical challenge in intensive swine production, particularly during weaning, compromising intestinal integrity and animal performance. N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) has emerged as a multifunctional nutritional strategy to mitigate these effects due to its role as a glutathione precursor and signaling modulator. This systematic

Modulation of Anaphase‐Promoting Complex Genes Regulates Root‐Knot Nematode Gall Development and Plant Susceptibility

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 10379-10400, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The anaphase‐promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi‐subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates cell cycle progression, but its role in plant‐pathogen interactions is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that regulation of the ubiquitin–proteasome system, involving APC/C‐associated components, is critical for coordinating host cell ...
