Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Ritonavir Has Reproductive Toxicity Depending on Disrupting PI3K/PDK1/AKT Signaling Pathway

Toxics
Ritonavir (RTV) is an antiviral and a component of COVID-19 treatments. Moreover, RTV demonstrates anti-cancer effects by suppressing AKT. However, RTV has cytotoxicity and suppresses sperm functions by altering AKT activity.

Glycerol‐Modified Biphasic Silicone Gel for Synergistic Thermal Transport and Dielectric Reliability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A surfactant‐free glycerol‐modified biphasic silicone gel establishes metastable liquid interfaces that simultaneously enhance phonon transport and induce deep traps (1.28 eV), enabling synergistic electrothermal performance of enhanced thermal conductivity (+33.3%), thermal diffusivity (+48.3%), and DC breakdown strength (+57.6%) with suppressed space

Beyond Reality Avoidance: Unraveling the Paradox of Escapism Through Self‐Monitoring and Autonomy Mechanisms for Consumers' Life Satisfaction

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Paradox of Escapism, exploring how the act of escaping reality can evolve from a short‐term avoidance strategy to a mechanism for self‐regulation and enhanced life satisfaction. Employing five rigorous, multimethod investigations, including qualitative interviews and sentiment analysis (Study 1), Structural Equation ...

Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Effects of Multiple Mechanical Recycling Loops on the Material Properties of Liquid Silicone Rubber

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical recycling of liquid silicone rubbers was investigated by grinding LSR production waste to small pieces, which are then used as filler in new products with varying percentages of recycled content. Four consecutive reprocessing cycles showed that multiple mechanical recycling loops are possible without significant loss of material performance.

Thermal Stability of Plasma‐Assisted Film Deposition for Insulation Modification: In View of Hydrophobicity and Flashover Performances

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polymer insulation exposed to natural environment inevitably face challenges from material ageing and surface insulating degradation. Surface treatment is an effective method to improve material performance, but traditional processing methods such as room temperature vulcanised silicone rubber (RTV) coating, are subjected to coating ...
