Summary: A new algorithm developed based on North Hemisphere data was applied and validated in the South Hemisphere to retrieve water vapor from MODIS NIR channels. The algorithm significantly reduced the wet bias of MODIS product and demonstrated homogeneous and accurate results in a large research area.

Summary: The study aimed to understand the drivers of Holocene heathland development in temperate-oceanic Australia (Bass Strait) using sedimentary records from truwana/Cape Barren Island. Major expansion of heathland in response to sea-level rise and increased Indigenous burning in the early to mid-Holocene was identified, while late Holocene saw expansion of scrub and woodland due to changing climate conditions and decreased fire activity. The study suggests a modified model for interglacial vegetation development in the Southern Hemisphere.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between prenatal stress (PS), gut microbiota, and visceral hypersensitivity. The findings indicate that PS impacts the composition and metabolic function of the gut microbiota in adulthood. The reduced capacity of the gut microbiota to produce lipopeptides containing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) could be one of the mechanisms linking PS and visceral hypersensitivity in adulthood.

Summary: Most organisms in the Saccharomycotina subphylum have high genetic diversity and diverse metabolisms and lifestyles. Lachancea cidri is an ideal yeast model for studying the interplay between genetics, ecological function, and evolution. This study used phylogenomics to explore the genetic variation of L. cidri isolates from Australia and South America and found two main lineages based on their geographic distribution. The divergence time estimation suggests that these lineages diverged during the last glacial maximum event in the Pleistocene. The study also revealed a close relationship between the French reference strain and Australian strains, likely due to human movements. Different lineages were identified within the South American population, with Patagonia showing similar genetic diversity to other S. cerevisiae lineages.

Summary: This study constructed a STAD lncRNA-mRNA network and found that the high degree nodes were associated with overall survival and had been confirmed in other cancers. Through mapping lncRNAs to GO terms and cancer hallmarks, the potential associations between lncRNAs and hallmarks were predicted and confirmed through literature review. Furthermore, a lncRNA signature was developed to classify STAD patients into high and low-risk subgroups with significantly different survival outcomes.

Summary: This study identified the key astringent compounds in aronia juice and validated proanthocyanidins (PAs) as the main contributors to astringency. Removing most PAs from the juice significantly decreased its astringency intensity.

Summary: When the body damages its own tissues in response to an infection, sepsis develops. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of sepsis and identifying potential molecular targets for treatment is crucial. We used WGCNA analysis to construct two modules, the light-green GSE131761 module and the blue GSE137342 module, which showed the strongest links to sepsis. Gene ontology analysis revealed that genes in the light-green module were involved in inflammatory response, while genes in the blue module were associated with proteasomal protein catabolic process. Additionally, two hub genes, ANKRD22 and VNN1, were identified as crucial genes in sepsis etiology.

Summary: This article discusses the design of identification and resolution in the Industrial Internet, proposing a general architecture to guide the development of technologies and schemes. By constructing an identifiable digital object model, designing a hybrid structure-based identification and resolution system, and deploying a trustable system based on blockchain, the effectiveness of these technologies has been validated through extensive practical experiments, providing crucial support for identification and resolution services in the Industrial Internet.

Summary: This study examined the changes in the Southern Hemisphere westerly wind belt over the past 16,000 to 6,500 years using a peat sequence in the Falkland Islands. The research findings indicate a southward shift in the latitude of the wind belt during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, which is linked to atmospheric temperature changes.

Summary: Through molecular and morphological analyses, the distinctiveness of Friesea grisea specimens from South Georgia within the genus Friesea has been confirmed. Friesea is one of the most speciose genera of Collembola in the Antarctic region, and the study provides detailed species identification keys and compares the biogeography of Friesea to other springtail species.

Summary: The novel ultra-low input protocol allows for high-quality genome sequencing from single specimens of minute, field-preserved metazoans, providing a new approach for biodiversity research. The genomes of two submillimeter Collembola species were successfully sequenced, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.
