Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Comb‐Driven Coherent Optical Transmitter for Scalable DWDM Interconnects

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A comb‐driven coherent optical transmitter on a Si/SiN platform enables scalable DWDM interconnects by integrating ultra‐compact microring‐assisted modulators and interleavers. High‐baud coherent signaling achieves 400 Gb/s per wavelength and >$>$1 Tb/s multi‐channel transmission, with projected >$>$10 Tb/s per fiber, offering a path toward energy ...

Primary producers' positions towards bears and bear conservation: Insights for human–bear coexistence

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract We present primary producers' (farmers', livestock breeders', beekeepers') positions towards bears and bear conservation as documented through semi‐structured interviews within the frame of human dimensions actions of LIFE projects implemented between 2015 and 2022 in Greece.

Understanding Light‐Soaking Effects in Silicon Solar Cells by Considering Charge Carrier‐Enhanced Atomic Hydrogen Release

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
We show that many hydrogen‐related effects in silicon solar cells can be explained by direct electron‐assisted acceptor‐hydrogen pair dissociation. Most importantly, it leads to a high concentration of atomic hydrogen, which is highly reactive and diffusive. We provide a unified physical description of LeTID.

No increased risk of spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak after spinal manipulative therapy: A retrospective cohort study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a rare but debilitating condition, have been described following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in case reports. However, the nature of the potential association between SMT and CSF leak is uncertain, and symptoms such as neck pain or headache may reflect preexisting leaks rather than ...

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...
