Rethinking Public Administration Reform: Institutional Layering of Bureaucratic, Managerial and Community Logics Over Time in Nigeria's Tax Administration

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The reform of public institutions has attracted sustained attention in both scholarship and policymaking. Increasingly, however, there is growing recognition that reforms are rarely implemented in an institutional vacuum. Instead, new reforms are layered onto existing arrangements, producing hybrid institutional landscapes shaped by prior ...

Rapamycin inhibition of baculovirus recombinant (BVr) ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1) is mediated by an event other than phosphorylation

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2012
Background Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1(S6K1) is an evolutionary conserved kinase that is activated in response to growth factors and viral stimuli to influence cellular growth and proliferation.

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...

Venom IMP-L2 from the Ectoparasitoid Scleroderma guani Regulates the IIS/TOR Pathway in Tenebrio molitor

Insects
Parasitoid venom significantly influences host physiology and development. Our previous research identified high levels of insulin-binding protein IMP-L2 in the venom of Scleroderma guani.

Nigericin‐Triggered Phosphodynamics in Inflammasome Formation and Pyroptosis

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Innate immune signaling relies heavily on phosphorylation cascades to mount effective immune responses. Although traditional innate immune signaling cascades following TLR4 stimulation have been investigated through a temporally quantitative phosphoproteomic lens, far fewer studies have applied these methods to distinct signaling following the

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Female boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

A Mitochondrial ATP Synthase Subunit Interacts with TOR Signaling to Modulate Protein Homeostasis and Lifespan in Drosophila

Cell Reports, 2014
Diet composition is a critical determinant of lifespan, and nutrient imbalance is detrimental to health. However, how nutrients interact with genetic factors to modulate lifespan remains elusive.

Liquid‐Processed 2D Aromatic Amorphous Carbon: Defect Engineering and Universal Transport Scaling

Small, EarlyView.
Liquid‐processed graphene oxide (GO) thin films undergo a controllable crystalline–to–amorphous transition driven by thermal quenching. By kinetically tuning oxygen‐driven defect formation during reduction, scalable 2D aromatic amorphous carbon phases are stabilized, directly linking nanoscale disorder and defect topology to electronic transport ...
