Effect of Two Geologically Distinct Amazonian Rivers in Shaping Forest Understorey Bird Assemblages
ABSTRACT Aim The effects of rivers as barriers for species dispersal can be expected to vary according to both species traits and the characteristics of rivers themselves. In this context, our aim was to investigate dissimilarities in species composition across opposite banks of two major Amazonian rivers, the Juruá and the Tapajós, and relate them to ...

The mysterious middlemen making your vision pop: understanding the function of amacrine cells
Abstract figure legend This review aims to illustrate the diversity and function of amacrine cells in the retina. The diversity of amacrine cell subtypes is depicted based on morphology, stratification and neurotransmitter expression, along with their synaptic connectivity with bipolar and ganglion cells, emphasizing inhibitory and modulatory roles ...

Quantifying the Influence of Poly(Ethylene glycol) on the Micelle Formation of Nonionic Detergents
The influence of poly(ethylene glycols) (PEG) with different molecular weights on the critical micelle concentration of nonionic detergents is quantified based on fluorescence spectra of 8‐anilinonaphthalene‐1‐sulfonate (ANS) and found to depend on the concentration of oxyethylene (OE) units rather than polymer length.

Beyond David Graeber: How state intervention creates ‘bullshit jobs’
Abstract David Graeber describes the malaise of ‘bullshit jobs’ but misattributes their cause to capitalism. I offer a different account: a bullshit job is usually one that would not survive without regulation, subsidy, or legal privilege. Such roles proliferate through state‐driven mechanisms: (1) regulatory inflation that converts productive effort ...

A Grid Theorem for Strong Immersions of Walls
ABSTRACT We show that a graph contains a large wall as a strong immersion minor if and only if the graph does not admit a tree‐cut decomposition of small “width”, which is measured in terms of its adhesion and the path‐likeness of its torsos.

Recent Progress in Gene Delivery Systems Based on Gemini‐Surfactant
Gene delivery is a key area in biomedicine, where nucleic acids are delivered into cells to treat diseases by modulating genes. The low micelle concentration, effective nucleic acid complexation, and low immunogenicity make Gemini surfactants promising gene delivery vectors.

Abstract Small businesses are important drivers of economic activity and job creation but face significant credit constraints. This study examines the joint impact of credit constraints and risk tolerance on a household's decision to become self‐employed using data from the 2022 Survey of Consumer Finance (SCF), and in a novel way.

ABSTRACT Numerical values often serve as anchors in consumer evaluations, potentially shaping perceptions even in the absence of objective reference points. This research introduces the Concentrated Effect, which posits that numerical values indicating the amount of a sole ingredient in a food product can enhance perceptions of ingredient concentration.
