Summary: The study indicates that U. multifida may specialize in capturing substrate-bound prey, while also detecting a wide variety of other prey organisms with different taxonomic backgrounds. Future research should focus on sampling plants from different locations for robust comparative analyses.

Summary: Porous organic polymers (POPs) have potential applications in gas capture and storage. This study synthesized two different backbone structures of POPs and found that the inclusion of traps can enhance gas adsorption capacity, providing insights for the design of high-efficiency gas capture materials.

Summary: Inborn errors of purine and pyrimidine metabolism are often overlooked, but their diagnosis is crucial for genetic counseling and specific treatment that can slow or reverse clinical symptoms. This review provides a practical guideline for the suspicion and investigation of these errors, emphasizing risk factors, important examination findings, and appropriate biochemical investigation in children.

Summary: This research introduces a novel way to measure single charges in highly scaled Si/SiO2 MOSFETs, enabling the detection and manipulation of single interface trap spin species. By eliminating interference between charge pumping current and leakage phenomenon, it provides a unique avenue for developing quantum engineering technologies.

Summary: A simple analytical method is proposed to create superpositions of Bessel-Gaussian light beams with knotted nodal lines, based on the equivalence between the paraxial wave equation and the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Four types of knots are explicitly constructed and it is shown that more complex structures require a larger number of constituent beams as well as high precision.

Summary: Insects use visual cues, especially colors, to navigate their environment and find food or mates. Lipoptena fortisetosa, a deer ked from Japan, has spread to Europe and poses a potential threat as a vector for pathogens. This study found that blue sticky panels attracted the most deer keds, suggesting that colored traps could be effective for monitoring and controlling this ectoparasite.

Summary: The study emphasizes the importance of carefully considered sampling design for large carnivores, highlighting the sensitivity of density and space use estimates to trapping array configurations. Existing design recommendations may have limited practical utility for monitoring large ranging species, necessitating further research and improvement of spatial capture-recapture methods.

Summary: White striping, a recent issue in the turkey industry, affects meat quality and economic value. A study found 88% of turkeys have white striping, with severity related to weight and meat yield. Evaluation of white striping in turkey genetic selection programs is needed for future research.

Summary: The conventional single-defect-mediated model fails to explain the observed nonradiative recombination phenomena in wide-band gap semiconductors. Due to the localized nature of defect states in these materials, a dual-level nonradiative recombination model is proposed. Through this model, the electron and hole trap levels can be closer to the conduction band and valence band, respectively, leading to enhanced nonradiative recombination.

Summary: Capture myopathy (CM), associated with capture and translocation of wildlife, is a life-threatening condition that has significant impacts on nature conservation and communities reliant on ecotourism. Despite the lack of successful preventative or curative measures, the development of accurate and robust models is vital to improve understanding of CM.

Summary: The excessive formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has been shown to be a pathogenic mechanism of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). This study establishes an experimental autoimmune myositis (EAM) mouse model to study IIM-ILD and demonstrates the involvement of NETs in the development of EAM-ILD.
