ABSTRACT A newly discovered microsporidian, Microsporidia sp. MB (MB), was recently found to block Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes from Kenya. Here, we describe the lifecycle of the first laboratory colony of Anopheles coluzzii with MB, originating from western...

Introduction: Incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is rising and is increasingly associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which makes up approximately 50 % of OPSCC cases in the UK. Patients presenting with HPV-positive OPSCC have better overall survival (OS) and p...

Abstract Thermal processing is widely used in solution‐based coating techniques or to enhance solubility, yet the impact on supramolecular self‐assembly and thin film properties remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate how heating and cooling cycles modulate the self‐assembly of amino acid‐a...

Introduction Around 80% of the world’s smokers live in lower-middle income countries and smoking rates in China, Philippines and Indonesia are very high. Evidence suggests that most people begin smoking or become habitual smokers before reaching adulthood. This highlights the need for a smoking prev...

With the help of a developing technology called reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), it is possible to modify the propagation environment and boost the data rates of wireless communication networks. In this article, we optimized the phases of the RIS elements and performed a fair power alloca...

We report on the characterization and analysis of a GaN-based distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) with 3^rd-order laterally etched sidewall gratings centered at a wavelength of 420 nm. We also compare the device parameters with two commonly used Fabry-Perot (FP) devices o...

Binary population synthesis simulations allow detailed modelling of gravitational-wave sources from a variety of formation channels. These population models can be compared to the observed catalogue of merging binaries to infer the uncertain astrophysical input parameters describing binary formation...

Objectives: The main aim was to investigate the association of n-3 fatty acid intake and the n-6/n-3 fatty acid intake ratio with muscle mass and strength in older adults. Methods: This study included 61,381 individuals (28,187 men and 33,194 women) aged ≥60 years. Grip strength and muscle mass inde...

Introduction: Mental health in rural areas can be affected by a lack of available services, which highlights the need for alternative support. Social relationships are known to bolster mental health, yet discussions of mental health in rural areas may be hindered by concerns over stigma and anonym...

Internet of Things (IoT) peripheral devices typically operate in resource-constrained environments and platform enclosures. This poses challenges when attempting to secure data traffic between operators and field devices. Due to the resource-intensive nature and/or stringent (e.g., connectivity) req...

Flexible pressure sensors based on piezoelectric materials are being extensively investigated, but the potential of Parylene C in this application has rarely been explored, even though it has superior electrical insulation, excellent chemical inertness, flexibility, biocompatibility, and biostabilit...

Various methods have been introduced to measure the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light, from fork holograms to Dove prism interferometers, from tilted lenses to triangular apertures—each with its own benefits and limitations. Here, we demonstrate how simple knife-edge diffraction can be used to...

As home to ∼60% of the global population, low-lying coastal estuaries are increasingly vulnerable to storm tide flooding, especially under accelerating anthropogenic sea-level rise. Conventional approaches in estuarine flood mitigation have involved building and heightening hard-engineering structur...
