Summary: The paragraph focuses on the typification and morphological characteristics of Poa aitchisonii, P. falconeri and P. wardiana, as well as their morphological similarities with other closely related species. It also mentions the lack of proper iconography analysis, hence the provision of photoplates showing plant parts of two species from voucher specimens.

Summary: The genus Duthiea consists of three species, mainly distributed in mountainous zones from Afghanistan to western China. Characteristics of Duthiea include pedicelled spikelets arranged to congested one-sided racemes, with disarticulating rachilla above the glumes and between the florets. A monographic study focusing on Duthiea was conducted by Bor, where detailed descriptions were provided but no types were indicated for the names included in the genus.

Summary: The study on the genetic diversity and structure of Psammochloa villosa populations in the Inner Mongolian Plateau revealed abundant genetic diversity, limited gene flow, and complex gene flow mechanisms occurring over long distances. The analysis also showed that genetic variation mainly exists within populations and that the distribution of P. villosa has continuously contracted since the last interglacial period, likely influenced by dry, cold climates during the Quaternary period.

Summary: The typification of three names, Eragrostis coarctata, E. plana, and E. superba, within the genus Eragrostis has been conducted in this study. Lectotypification has been performed for E. coarctata, and Second-step lectotypification has been done for the names E. plana and E. superba. The rules and recommendations set by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (ICN) have been strictly followed for the lectotypification process. The selection of lectotypes is explained, and images of the selected lectotypes are provided.

Summary: This study compares three list scrolling gestures on a mobile phone: sliding to scroll, moving a regular scrollbar, and scrolling through alphabetic index. It finds that scrolling through alphabetic index is the fastest regardless of target locations. The study also reveals that sliding to scroll has shorter reaction time for near-reaching targets, but longer reaction time for far-reaching targets. The evaluation scores of alphabetic index increase over time, while those of sliding to scroll decrease. The different rating patterns before and after the task are attributed to fatigue and emotional changes. This study provides insights into users' mental models for three list scrolling gestures and their implications for future gesture design.

Summary: This paper proposes lectotypes for four species names in Polygonatum (Asparagaceae) published by J.G. Baker. A second-step lectotype is designated for P. cathcartii, and lectotypes for P. griffithii and P. oppositifolium var. decipiens are established, while the holotype mistakenly designated for P. hookeri is corrected to lectotype.

Summary: The twelve generic names proposed by Cope in 1892 are linked to existing taxa by modifications of Boulenger's skink generic key. Cope's names are associated with certain species in Boulenger's classification, leading to synonymy of several generic names.

Summary: Jozef Warszewicz was a Polish naturalist who explored the flora of the New World in the 19th century. He collected and delivered a large number of plant specimens to Europe during his expeditions to Central and South America. Many taxa have been named after him to honor his contributions. Unfortunately, a significant part of his collection was destroyed during World War II. This paper presents the typification of five species based on Warszewicz's plant material and provides information on the presence of rare specimens.

Summary: Landau's Fermi liquid theory explains the main properties of quasiparticle excitations in an electron gas, which are crucial for understanding the behavior of metallic systems. Diffusion Monte Carlo methods were used in this study to calculate the effective mass of three-dimensional homogeneous electron gases as a function of density, showing a decrease in effective mass at lower densities, especially in the case of ferromagnetism.

Summary: In this study, the thiostannate K2Sn2S5 (KTS-2) was used as an ion-exchange material for capturing rare-earth elements (REEs) from wastewater, demonstrating excellent performance with removal rates exceeding 95% for all 16 REEs without causing secondary pollution. KTS-2 showed high capture capacity, short equilibrium time, and a high distribution coefficient for Yb3+ ions, making it a promising eco-friendly material for REE ion exchange.

Summary: In this study, lectotypes for three names in the genus Arundinella Raddi were designated, and lectotypification of A. intricata and second-step lectotypification of A. laxiflora and A. mesophylla were carried out. Additionally, the geographic distribution of the endemic species, A. mesophylla, was also provided.

Summary: Leaf anatomical features of the monophyletic mangrove Rhizophoraceae (tribe Rhizophoreae) group were studied to understand the general or specific adaptive strategies for salt tolerance in different species or genera (or clades). An increase in leaf thickness, development of well-developed hypodermis layers, and allocation changes in different leaf layers were observed, indicating different strategies for salt tolerance among the species or genera (or clades) of Rhizophoreae. The presence of hypodermis in non-mangrove relatives of Rhizophoreae suggests a possible adaptation to saline intertidal habitat. The positioning of chloroplasts and the allocation to different layers in the leaves play important roles in minimizing the photodamage effect and enhancing salt tolerance in different Rhizophoreae clades.
