Evaluation of a non‐radioactive rapid test for determination of serum progesterone in South American camelids

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Determination of the serum progesterone (P4) concentration is of high importance in reproductive medicine and may be applied for diagnosing pregnancy in South American camelids. P4 measurements in alpacas and llamas are usually performed using immunoassays, which are time consuming and require appropriate expertise of laboratory ...

Advancing tritium self-sufficiency in fusion power plants: insights from the BABY experiment

Nuclear Fusion
In the pursuit of fusion power, achieving tritium self-sufficiency stands as a pivotal challenge. Tritium breeding within molten salts is a critical aspect of next-generation fusion reactors, yet experimental measurements of Tritium Breeding Ratio (TBR ...

Auxin response and PIN‐mediated transport in chlorophyte algae

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Like multicellular plants, green algae respond to auxin and move it across their cells. However, their PIN‐like proteins do not act like plant auxin exporters, suggesting that basic auxin transport evolved early and specialized directional transport appeared later in plant evolution.

Conceptual design of solid-type Pb x Li y eutectic alloy breeding blanket for CFETR

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
As a key component of the Chinese Fusion Engineering and Test Reactor (CFETR), the blanket is responsible for tritium breeding, neutron shielding and energy conversion.

Effect of Pebble Size Distribution and Wall Effect on Inner Packing Structure and Contact Force Distribution in Tritium Breeder Pebble Bed

Energies, 2021
In the tritium breeding blanket of nuclear fusion reactors, the heat transfer behavior and thermal-mechanical response of the tritium breeder pebble bed are affected by the inner packing structure, which is crucial for the design and optimization of a ...

Transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and fetal blood–brain barriers and its safety for use in pregnancy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly taken during pregnancy for pain and fever. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of paracetamol's effects during pregnancy, several elements need to be examined including the transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and into the developing brain, the short‐ and long‐term effects of ...

Variability and Complexity of Environmental Drivers on Catchment Transit Times Across Space: A Systematic Review

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Environmental drivers influence or modulate transport processes that finally determine catchment transit times. TTD represents transit time distribution; MTT is the mean transit time; and Fyw means young water fraction. ABSTRACT Catchment transit time, the time water takes to travel from precipitation to streamflow, is a key diagnostic of how ...

Context‐Dependent Effects of Apolipoprotein A2 on Lipid Metabolism and Atherogenesis

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
Proposed model of the pro‐atherogenic role of APOA2 in dyslipidemia. Under conditions of dyslipidemia (ldlr−/− and apoe−/− mice), APOA2 promotes a reduction in VLDL through its conversion to LDL via an LDLR‐independent pathway. LDL is then deposited to the aorta and aortic root. In the ldlr−/− mice, the presence of APOE may mitigate the rate of VLDL to

An analytical model linking tritium breeding, tritium-lean startup and fusion power deployment

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Fusion reactors burn tritium, which they must self-generate in the breeding blanket. This must have a tritium breeding ratio (TBR) slightly larger than unity to compensate for small losses and natural decay.

Gas Chromatography‐Based Methods for Profiling Volatile Off‐Aroma Compounds in Grain Legumes: A Review

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Instrumental characterisation of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), responsible for off‐aroma, is mainly centred on gas chromatography‐based techniques. Despite previous reviews that have addressed the chemical compounds and biosynthetic pathways of off‐aroma generation, to date, there is a lack of a comprehensive review that critically ...
