IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Toward Service-Centric Internet of Things (IoT): From Modeling to Practice

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an emerging paradigm to seamlessly and ubiquitously integrate a large number of smart things with intra/inter links to the physical and cyber worlds. Sensor-enabled communication technologies connect b...

Nuclear astrophysics

Nuclear astrophysics is that branch of astrophysics which helps understanding some of the many facets of the Universe through the knowledge of the microcosm of the atomic nucleus. In the last decades much advance has been made in nuclear as...

A millifluidic study of cell-to-cell heterogeneity in growth-rate and cell-division capability in populations of isogenic cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

To address possible cell-to-cell heterogeneity in growth dynamics of isogenic cell populations of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we developed a millifluidic drop-based device that not only allows the analysis of populations grown from single ce...

Classical Biological Control of Invasive Legacy Crop Pests: New Technologies Offer Opportunities to Revisit Old Pest Problems in Perennial Tree Crops

Advances in scientific disciplines that support classical biological control have provided “new tools” that could have important applications for biocontrol programs for some long-established invasive arthropod pests. We suggest that these ...

Genomic Recombination and Genetic Diversity of Emerging Novel Duck Orthoreovirus in China, 2018-2023.

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza H9N2 Viruses in Morocco: Antigenic and Molecular Evolution from 2021 to 2023

Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, the H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due to its high prevalence, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Af...

Unraveling genetic diversity in ‘Foşa’ and ‘Yomra’ hazelnut accessions (Corylus avellana L.) using SSR markers and phenotypic analysis

Abstract The Foşa hazelnut variety is commonly cultivated in Türkiye and is often confused with the Yomra variety due to morphological similarities. This study aims to determine the phenological and pomological characteristics of the Foşa a...

The complete chloroplast genome of Dicliptera tinctoria (Nees) Kostel. and comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes in Acanthaceae

Abstract Dicliptera tinctoria is a member of Acanthaceae, which has a wide distribution and contains potentially medicinal species, and exhibited pharmaceutical potentials. This study sequenced and characterized the complete chloroplast gen...

Methods in Molecular Biology

This chapter highlights the basic principles behind various molecular biology protocols, which should allow multidisciplinary imaging specialists to better understand the techniques. There is a vast diversity of methods in molecular biology...

Load Balancing in Distributed Systems

In a distributed computing system made up of different types of processors each processor in the system may have different performance and reliability characteristics. In order to take advantage of this diversity of processing power, a modu...

Video-based communication assessment for weight management counseling training in medical residents: a mixed methods study

Abstract Background Physician delivered weight management counseling (WMC) occurs infrequently and physicians report lack of training and poor self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to develop and test the Video-based Communication As...

Factors associated with minimum dietary diversity failure among Indian children

Recognising the importance of infant and young child feeding practices during the first 2 years of life, the World Health Organization's Global Nutrition Monitoring Framework developed a minimum dietary diversity (MDD) indicator for feeding...

The Evolution of Phytochemical and Medicinal Plant Research in Chile: Status, Opportunities, and Challenges

Background: The global use of herbal medicines and research on plant bioactive compounds have steadily increased. In Chile, this growth is linked to ethnobotanical knowledge and advances in phytochemistry, although gaps persist in its evolu...

Transportation and Public Health

This article investigates various ways that transportation policy and planning decisions affect public health and better ways to incorporate public health objectives into transport planning. Conventional planning tends to consider some publ...

Identification of wild-caught phlebotomine sand flies from Crete and Cyprus using DNA barcoding

Abstract Background Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are vectors of Leishmania spp., protozoan parasites responsible for a group of neglected diseases called leishmaniases. Two sand fly genera, Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia, co...

Invertebrate Ecological Immunology

Ecological immunology is a rapidly expanding field that examines the causes and consequences of variation in immune function in the context of evolution and of ecology. Millions of invertebrate species rely solely on innate immunity, compar...

Wild immunology

In wild populations, individuals are regularly exposed to a wide range of pathogens. In this context, organisms must elicit and regulate effective immune responses to protect their health while avoiding immunopathology. However, most of our...

Occurrence, antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic diversity of Devriesea agamarum strains isolated from captive lizard collections.

Saccharomyces boulardii RC009 as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics: effects on broiler chickens, performance, and gut microbiome

This study evaluates the effects of supplementing broiler chicken feed with the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii RC009 as a sustainable alternative to prophylactic antibiotics. The focus was on productive performance, gut m...

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of serum extracellular vesicle-derived DNA enables microbial profiling in urothelial carcinoma

Abstract Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides more detailed microbial information than 16 S rRNA sequencing but requires higher cost and larger sample volumes. We evaluated whether shotgun metagenomic sequencing could detect bacterial DN...
