Untangling the complex food webs of tropical rainforest streams.
(Wiley, 2024-06-07)Food webs depict the tangled web of trophic interactions associated with the functioning of an ecosystem. Understanding the mechanisms providing stability to these food webs is therefore vital for conservation efforts and ... -
Selectivity filter mutations shift ion permeation mechanism in potassium channels
(Oxford University Press, 2024)Potassium (K+) channels combine high conductance with high ion selectivity. To explain this efficiency, two molecular mechanisms have been proposed. The ‘direct knock-on’ mechanism is defined by water-free K+ permeation ... -

Unveiling thermal influences: Enhancing light harvesting, electrocatalysis, and charge storage in [Ce-Pr-Nd]:CsPbI<inf>2.0</inf>Br<inf>1</inf>.<inf>0</inf> perovskite semiconductor
(Elsevier, 2024-11-01)Current investigation has for the first time explored the triply doped CsPbI2.0Br1.0 perovskite hetero-system using (cerium-praseodymium-neodymium)-oxide (CPN-CPVSK) as impurity doping. For a duration of 28 days, the ... -
Genomic signals of local adaptation and hybridization in Asian white birch
(Wiley, 2024)Disentangling the numerous processes that affect patterns of genome-wide diversity in widespread tree species has important implications for taxonomy, conservation, and forestry. Here, we investigate the population genomic ... -
Genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids
(bioRxiv, 2024)Native ash tree species in Europe and North America are being devastated by ash dieback and the emerald ash borer, respectively. As worldwide ash species differ in their level of susceptibility to these threats, hybrid ... -
Performing a Motor Action Enhances Social Reward Processing and Modulates the Neural Processing of Predictive Cues.
(MIT Press, 2024-05-10)Associative learning affects many areas of human behavior. Recently, we showed that the neural response to monetary reward is enhanced by performing an action, suggesting interactions between neural systems controlling ... -
Balancing bandgap and charge transport in triple-cation perovskite for efficient indoor photovoltaics
(2024-01-01)The tunable bandgaps of metal halide perovskites lead to their promising application in indoor photovoltaics (IPVs). However, perovskites with wide bandgaps suitable for indoor light typically have lower conductivity and ... -
Intersectionality as a tool for clinical ethics consultation in mental healthcare.
(2024-05-02)Bioethics increasingly recognizes the impact of discriminatory practices based on social categories such as race, gender, sexual orientation or ability on clinical practice. Accordingly, major bioethics associations have ... -
Glycoprotein Acetyls Is a Novel Biomarker Predicting Cardiovascular Complications in Rheumatoid Arthritis
(MDPI, 2024)The relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and early onset atherosclerosis is well depicted, each with an important inflammatory component. Glycoprotein acetyls (GlycA), a novel biomarker of inflammation, may play ... -
WavCraft: Audio Editing and Generation with Natural Language Prompts
(ICLR 2024 Workshop on LLM Agents, 2024-03-14)We introduce WavCraft, a collective system that leverages large language models (LLMs) to connect diverse task-specific models for audio content creation and editing. Specifically, WavCraft describes the content of raw ... -
Learning from Taxonomy: Multi-label Few-Shot Classification for Everyday Sound Recognition.
(IEEE, 2022)Humans categorise and structure perceived acoustic signals into hierarchies of auditory objects. The semantics of these objects are thus informative in sound classification, especially in few-shot scenarios. However, ... -
Proximity to freshwater and seagrass availability mediate the impacts of climate change on the distribution of the West Indian manatee
(Sociedad Latinoamericana de Especialistas en Mamiferos Acuaticos (SOLAMAC), 2024-04-28)How climate change alters persistence and distribution of endangered species is an urgent question in current ecological research. However, many species distribution models do not consider consumers in the context of their ... -
Influence of Bismuth and Cobalt Doping on Structural, Dielectric, and Magnetic Properties of M-type Calcium Hexagonal Ferrites
