Summary: Seeds can be found in gastrointestinal pathology samples, with tomato, kiwi, blueberry, and blackberry seeds being the most common types. Recognition of seeds in tissue samples may be useful for excluding parasitic infections and in forensic sciences.

Summary: This contribution explores the potential of object-based image analysis (OBIA) in archaeological predictive modeling, using elevation data in two test areas in the Alpine environment. The study tested a ruleset for the location of control places and employed 3 DTM processing techniques before applying an object-based classification approach. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the approach and its applicability in similar mountainous landscapes for site predictivity analysis.

Summary: This paper argues that novel (highly nonclassical) quantum extremal surfaces (QESs) are crucial in reconstructing the black hole interior. It suggests that any code subspace allowing the excitation of interior outgoing modes will have a QES in its maximally mixed state, making the reconstruction of these modes exponentially complex. The paper also discusses the relevance of these QESs to the geometrization of state dependence in the arguments for firewalls.

Summary: This study analyzed over 10,000 U.S. census tracts to better understand population decline in the United States, finding diverse characteristics and emphasizing the need for tailored public policy responses. The findings suggest that urban shrinkage should not be seen as a national crisis, and future work can offer valuable insights for local decision makers and leaders.

Summary: This study investigates a thin-film battery with an LNMO cathode and a solid LiPON electrolyte, and characterizes their interface before and after cycling. The system demonstrates stable performance and high Coulombic efficiency. Compared to liquid electrolyte cells, the solid LiPON electrolyte exhibits superior stability at high voltage. The findings provide important insights for accelerating the commercialization of high voltage solid or liquid electrolyte batteries.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, drug combinations that interfere with specific steps of the viral infectious cycle are being explored as therapeutic strategies. However, simultaneous administration of certain drugs may be impractical, while sequential administration could be more effective in exploiting their antiviral potential.

Summary: The dehydration of biomass derived monosaccharides xylose, glucose and fructose was studied to produce furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and levulinic acid (LA). H-BEA zeolite showed high activity, especially in isomerization of monosaccharides and rehydration of 5-HMF. Homogeneous reactions mainly governed the dehydration of sugars, with fructose showing the highest reactivity and 5-HMF being more susceptible to further conversion.

Summary: In this study, we address the limitations of k-mer-based GWAS methods by introducing covariates built from closed connected subgraphs (CCSs) of the de Bruijn graph. Our method improves the power and interpretability of k-mer-based GWAS and significantly enhances computational efficiency by leveraging a novel enumeration scheme that utilizes testable hypotheses.

Summary: This study reveals the limitations of using lithium argyrodite sulfide solid electrolyte with LNMO cathode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) due to inherent chemical incompatibility and poor oxidative stability. It is found that even using a halide solid electrolyte with high oxidative stability can result in the formation of resistive interphase layers with LNMO in ASSBs. However, through Fe-doping and Li3PO4 protective layer coating, LNMO with the halide solid electrolyte shows stable cycle performance with a stabilized interphase at a high voltage in ASSBs. This work provides guidance for using high-voltage cathodes in ASSBs and emphasizes the importance of stable interphases for stable cycling in ASSBs.

Summary: Historically, periodontal microbiology focused on identifying disease-causing microbes, but through microbiomics, a deeper understanding of the diverse microbial communities and their interactions contributing to health has been revealed. By combining systems biology with ecologic principles, it becomes clear how intricate and complex the relationships between microbiota and humans are. The research in this volume of Periodontology 2000 by female scientists has widened our view on periodontal microbiome and influenced traditional patterns of periodontal therapeutics.

Summary: The purpose of this research reflection is to reconsider the foundations of our understanding of the good life and challenge the myth that the advent of agriculture led to increased leisure time. By comparing different research narratives, we find that the Ju/'hoansi hunter-gatherers in challenging circumstances have more leisure time, which deserves greater attention from our field.

Summary: Research has shown that the inverse-square Levy walk strategy is highly efficient in finding sparse targets of arbitrary size and shape in finite two-dimensional terrains, even under weak intermittent detection models. This contrasts with other intermittent Levy walks which fail to efficiently find either large targets or small ones.

Summary: This paper proposes a procedure to transform any iterative scheme into a method for approximating all roots of nonlinear equations simultaneously. The proposed scheme achieves a convergence order twice that of the original method. Numerical tests validate the theoretical results and compare the proposed schemes with other existing methods for simultaneous roots of polynomial and non-polynomial functions.
