Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

The Enteric Nervous System: An Integrative Hub From Development to Systemic Physiology
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.Unlike a static hardwired circuit, the ENS continuously remodels its transcriptional programs and synaptic connectivity in response to three ecological forces: microbial metabolites, immune cell signals and enteroendocrine cues. ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS) constitutes the largest and most functionally autonomous subdivision of the ...

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

A Fully‐Connected Chip‐Integrated Reconfigurable Mode‐Pairing Quantum Key Distribution Network
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This work constructs a fully connected reconfigurable chip‐integrated quantum key distribution network via the mode‐pairing protocol. Hybrid ECL and WSS chips cut wavelength and port overhead, realizing arbitrary‐user key sharing with merely two wavelengths.

Compact Single‐Shot Incoherent Edge Detection With a Polarization‐Multiplexed Metalens
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.A polarization‐sensitive metalens enables single‐shot incoherent edge detection by generating two polarization‐dependent images and digitally subtracting them to realize a high‐pass optical transfer function. ABSTRACT Edge detection under incoherent illumination is highly desirable for compact vision systems but remains challenging due to the lack of ...
