Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

According to Pitman (1937), an estimator X is closer than an estimator Y to a scalar parameter [theta] (or, in the terminology used below, X Pitman-dominates Y) if Pr[subscript][theta]( ǁ X - [theta] ǁ 1/2, ∀[theta].This criterion is now called the ...

ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by
