Overexpression of a Maize SPS Gene Improves Yield Characters of Potato under Field Conditions

Plant Production Science, 2008
We analyzed the yield characters of field-grown transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) carrying a maize gene for sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS), the key enzyme in sucrose synthesis. The SPS activity in the leaves of transgenic plants (line Ag1203)

A Modular Variable Stiffness Co‐Bot System Achieving Tasks Flexibility and Contact Compliance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired antagonistic compliance enables a modular rigid‐soft co‐bot platform with variable stiffness for safe human‐robot interaction (HRI): Standardized interfaces support application‐driven configurations with tailored DoFs, workspace, and stiffness range, making the system suited to HRI and low‐volume automation.

Modulation of Local Environment for Selective Bicarbonate Conversion to Multi‐Carbon Products

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Highly porous Cu electrode partially coated with an ionomer/carbon composite enables efficient conversion of bicarbonate to multi‐carbon products. By regulating the local reaction microenvironment, this strategy overcomes selectivity and reaction‐rate limitations, achieving Faradaic efficiencies of 43% for ethylene and 60% for total multi‐carbon ...

Effect of Post-Thaw Dilution of Dialyzed and Cryopreserved Drone Semen on Quality of Queen Honey Bees

Journal of Apicultural Science
Cryopreservation of honeybee (Apis melifera) drone semen remains a significant challenge. Despite decades of research, maintaining sperm viability and functionality after thawing continues to limit the practical use of frozen semen.

The Honey Bee Colony’s Criterion for Candidate Selection: “Ongoing” or “One-Shot”?

Animals
In the honey bee, the queen’s death severely threatens the survival of the colony. In an emergency, new queens are reared from young worker larvae, where nepotism is thought to influence the choice of queen candidates by the workers.

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Speciation‐Controlled C–F Bond Functionalization Enabled by Zwitterionic Pnictinidenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zwitterionic pnictinidenes turn C–F activation into C–X bond construction, enabling broad defluorinative functionalization of polyfluoro(hetero)arenes under mild conditions. Rather than following a metallomimetic Sb(I)/Sb(III) redox turnover, catalysis is redirected by ligand scrambling into a redox‐neutral manifold, revealing catalyst speciation as a ...

Playing in the Dark: Invisible Chess as a Laboratory for Strategic AI

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
This paper shows that strategic AI evaluated on perfect‐information benchmarks can be brittle in real adversarial settings. By using invisible chess as a benchmark for hidden state and deception, it argues for stricter testing, human oversight, and more cautious governance of high‐stakes AI systems.
