Proximal and Distal Factors Associated With Obesity in Childhood: An Exploratory Structural Equation Model

Obesity Science &Practice, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity in childhood is complex; structural equation modeling (SEM) offers an approach to ascertain complicated relationships between weight and proximal (health behaviors, child health) and distal (family/household, community) variables.

ApoJ regulates endothelial lipase activity and stability

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Endothelial lipase (EL) is a key regulator of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Many aspects of EL function remain incompletely understood due to challenges in purifying active EL. This study identifies apolipoprotein J (ApoJ) as a novel chaperone for EL, crucial for its solubility and activity.

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3011-3018, April 2026.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

The effect of inflation and the failure of Silicon Valley bank on shareholder wealth

Review of Financial Economics, Volume 44, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract This study examines how the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and heightened inflation affected shareholders wealth in U.S. financial institutions. Using daily stock returns from February 15 to March 29, 2023, we calculate abnormal and cumulative abnormal returns to measure market reactions.

Genetic diversity of wheat cultivars estimated by ssr markers

Poljoprivreda, 2008
Presence and utilization of the genetic variability in the breeding programmes is prerequisite for their successfulness. Important factor for crop improvement is knowledge about the genetic diversity which providing a basis for the precise selection of parental combinations.

Dust‐Induced Losses in Solar Photovoltaic Potential and Their Long‐Term Changes Over North Africa

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract North Africa (NA) offers exceptional potential for large‐scale solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment to mitigate climate change. Dust aerosols, however, pose a barrier to PV performance by dimming sunlight dimming effect (DE) and settling on panels soiling effect (SE), yet their relative roles across NA's diverse climate zones remain unclear ...

An α/β‐Hydrolase GmABHD6 Controls Seed Oil Content and Yield in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2040-2055, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed oil content is a key trait in soybean, yet its genetic basis remains largely unresolved. Here, we identify GmABHD6, an α/β‐hydrolase domain‐containing gene, as the causal gene underlying a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for seed oil content on chromosome 16.

Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule‐bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2437-2446, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability
