A comparison of municipal waste collection policies to optimize recycling rates: Evidence from England and Wales

Author(s): Wilansky J; Cao K;

This study investigated the effectiveness of municipal waste collection policies within England and Wales by examining how variations in local waste management strategies correlate with recycling rates. Using data from 297 council districts, we analysed the impact of different policy variables (frequency of residual waste and recycling collection, sorting ...

Characterization of secreted epidermal patterning factor peptides and ERECTA family receptors as regulators for root hair development in em Arabidopsis thaliana /em

Author(s): Hamiditabar Z; Lee JS; Gulick PJ;

This study investigated the role of secreted peptides and receptors in root hair development. The secreted peptides EPF1, EPF2, EPFL4, EPFL5, EPFL6, and EPFL9 and their putative receptors ERECTA (ER), ERECTA-LIKE1 (ERL1), ERL2, and TMM were found to mediate the development of the root hairs in Arabidopsis under control conditions and in response to nitrat ...

From pollution barriers to health buffers: Rethinking building airtightness under climate variability

Author(s): Fu N; Zhang R; Haghighat F; Kumar P; Cao SJ;

Climate change is reshaping indoor-outdoor pollution dynamics, yet current building standards rarely reflect this shift. In rapidly urbanizing regions with high ambient PM2.5 levels, building airtightness offers an underutilized strategy to mitigate indoor exposure and associated health burdens. An analysis of 36 major Chinese cities across five climate z ...

Imagining the beat: causal evidence for dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) role in beat imagery via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Author(s): Lazzari G; Ferreri L; Cattaneo L; Penhune V; Lega C;

The ability to internally generate and maintain a rhythmic pulse, i.e., beat imagery, is a fundamental aspect of musical cognition. While recent theories propose that premotor regions support internal temporal predictions during rhythm perception and imagery, direct causal evidence remains limited. In this study, we investigated the specific contributions ...

Mechanistic insights of plant-microbe interactions for enhancing the growth and productivity of plants under salt stress conditions for agricultural sustainability

Author(s): Sharma B; Negi R; Jyothi SR; Gupta A; Jhamta S; Yadav N; Kaur N; Puri P; Thakur SS; Bagavathiappan S; Thakur N; Shreaz S; Madouh TA; Yadav AN;

According to estimates from United Nations environmental program, salinity affects about 20% of agricultural land and 50% of farmland worldwide. Plants react to salinity stress by undergoing distinctive physiochemical, morphological, and molecular adaptations. Nonetheless, a number of mitigating ...

A corpus-assisted discourse study of parental concerns regarding multilingual child-rearing

Author(s): Quirk E; Brouillard M; Ahooja A; Ballinger S; Polka L; Byers-Heinlein K; Kircher R;

Many parents have concerns about raising their children with multiple languages. However, there is a paucity of previous research regarding parental concerns about multilingual child-rearing, particularly in multilingual societies. We address this gap with a corpus-assisted discourse study of parental concerns regarding multilingual child-rearing in Quebe ...

Preprocessing narrative texts in electronic medical records to identify hospital adverse events: A scoping review

Author(s): Jafarpour H; Wu G; Cheligeer CK; Yan J; Xu Y; Southern DA; Eastwood CA; Zeng Y; Quan H;

Background: Narrative electronic medical records (EMR), which include textual notes created by clinicians within healthcare environments, represent a significant resource for documenting various facets of patient care. This form of text exhibits distinctive characteristics, such as the occurrence of grammatically incorrect sentences, abbreviations, freque ...

The Need for Health Systems to Engage With and Support Youth who are Caregivers-A Lived Experience Perspective From Young Carers

Author(s): Grant A; Goberdhan N; Mar K; Ramkishun A; Rahman S; Redublo T; Caven I; Okrainec K;

Caregivers under the age of 25, or young carers, lack significant recognition and support across sectors of education, employment, and healthcare. As young carer advisors on a prior research project exploring Canadian healthcare providers' awareness of young carers in their clinical practice, we were a part of an experience-based co-design process to ...

Pseudocapacitive MXene@Fe-TA ternary mediator enhances denitrification via optimized electron transfer and microbial regulation in wastewater treatment

Author(s): Pan S; Wang X; Guo T; An H; Guo Y; Chen Z; Lian J; Guo J;

Inefficient electron transfer is one of the main challenges in practical denitrification applications. To address this issue, a novel ternary mediator functional material (Mxene@Fe-TA) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited pseudocapacitive properties to facilitate electron mediation and distribution. Batch experiments revealed that 50 mg/L MXene@F ...
