Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Comparison of Pre‐ and Postoperative Gut Microbiota Diversity in Patients With Rectal Cancer Undergoing Stoma Creation and Closure

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of temporary stoma creation and closure on gut microbiota diversity in rectal cancer patients. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that microbial diversity significantly decreased postoperatively in the stoma group but remained stable in non‐stoma patients.

Significance of Self‐Expandable Metallic Stent for Postoperative Intra‐Abdominal Infection After Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients With a Hard Pancreas

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are often used for preoperative biliary drainage in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD); however, their impact on postoperative intra‐abdominal infection (POAI) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of SEMS in relation to POAI.

Large Language Model in Materials Science: Roles, Challenges, and Strategic Outlook

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping materials science. Acting as Oracle, Surrogate, Quant, and Arbiter, they now extract knowledge, predict properties, gauge risk, and steer decisions within a traceable loop. Overcoming data heterogeneity, hallucinations, and poor interpretability demands domain‐adapted models, cross‐modal data standards, and ...

Impact of Biomimetic Pinna Shape Variation on Clutter Echoes: A Machine Learning Approach

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Bats with dynamic ear structures navigate dense, echo‐rich environments, yet the echoes they receive are highly random. This study shows that machine learning can reliably detect structural signatures in these seemingly chaotic biosonar signals. The results open new directions for biologically inspired sensing, where time‐varying receiver shapes ...
