The effect of insect herbivory on the growth and fitness of introduced Verbascum thapsus L. [PDF]
, 2013 A majority of the plant species that are introduced into new ranges either do not become established, or become naturalized yet do not attain high densities and are thus considered ecologically and economically unproblematic. The factors that limit these

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review maps how MOFs can manage hazardous gases by combining adsorption, neutralization, and reutilization, enabling sustainable air‐pollution control. Covering chemical warfare agent simulants, SO2, NOx, NH3, H2S, and volatile organic compounds, it highlights structure‐guided strategies that boost selectivity, water tolerance, and cycling ...

An institutional sociology perspective of the implementation of activity based costing by Spanish health care institutions [PDF]
According to institutional sociology, hospitals will respond to external environmental pressures and adopt Activity-Based-Costing (ABC). This theory overemphasizes conformity and fails to consider the advantages of organizational non-conformance.

What makes a host profitable? Parasites balance host nutritive resources against immunity [PDF]
, 2008 Numerous host qualities can modulate parasite fitness, and among these, host nutritive resources and immunity are of prime importance. Indeed, parasite fitness increases with the amount of nutritive resources extracted from the host body and decreases ...

Antibiotics and phages drive region-specific diversity of OmpK36 in Klebsiella pneumoniae
mBioThe Enterobacterales outer membrane is impermeable to many antibiotics, but they can enter the cell via channel proteins, called porins. In Klebsiella pneumoniae, the porin OmpK36 is a major determinant of antibiotic resistance.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Above- and belowground herbivory jointly impact defense and seed dispersal traits in Taraxacum officinale [PDF]
, 2014 Plants are able to cope with herbivores by inducing defensive traits or growth responses that allow them to reduce or avoid the impact of herbivores. Since above- and belowground herbivores differ substantially in life-history traits, for example feeding
