Divergence and convergence in epiphytic and endophytic phyllosphere bacterial communities of rice landraces by Pratibha Sanjenbam, Deepa Agashe

“…Seeds sampled from a focal landrace did not support vertical transmission of phyllosphere bacteria, suggesting that both types of communities are assembled anew each generation. Despite these points of convergence, epiphytic communities had distinct composition and significantly higher microbial load and were more rich, diverse, modular, and unstable than endophytic communities. …”

Deriving Test Suites with the Guaranteed Fault Coverage for Extended Finite State Machines by A. D. Ermakov, N. V. Yevtushenko

“…However, the performed experiments clearly show that a test suite extended by such distinguishing sequences detects much more functional faults in software implementations of a system whose behaviour is described by the given EFSM.…”

The porphyran degradation system is complete, phylogenetically and geographically diverse across the gut microbiota of East Asian populations. by Laure Ségurel, Thirumalai Selvi Ulaganathan, Sophie Mathieu, Mélanie Loiodice, Laurent Poulet, Sophie Drouillard, Miroslaw Cygler, William Helbert

“…By scanning the genomic data of more than 10,000 cultivated isolates as well as metagenomic data from more than 14,000 worldwide individuals, we found that the porphyran PUL is present in 17 different Phocaeicola/Bacteroides species (including 12 species that were not known to carry it), as well as in two Parabacteroides species and two genera from the Bacillota phylum, highlighting multiple lateral transfers within the gut microbiota. …”

Exploring the impact of Brownian motion on novel closed-form solutions of the extended Kairat-II equation. by Khaled Aldwoah, Alaa Mustafa, Tariq Aljaaidi, Khidir Mohamed, Amer Alsulami, Mohammed Hassan

“…The first method is the modified Tanh technique linked with the Riccati equation, which is implemented to extract some closed-form solutions in the form of tangent and cotangent functions. The second technique is the Sardar sub-equation method (SSEM) which is used to attain several analytical solutions in the form of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. …”

Assessment of Seed Priming With Melatonin to Improve Morpho‐Physiological and Biochemical Aspects of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Under Magnesium Deficiency by Khouloud Bouzidi, Abdelmajid Krouma

“…Seed priming with Mlt efficiently alleviated these multiple effects, and CN responded better to Mlt treatment. CN is more tolerant than CB due to its better management of Mg nutrition and the related Mg‐dependent functions. …”

On Simplifying Expressions with Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic by Yury V. Kosolapov

“…Obfuscation consists of replacing short expressions with longer equivalent expressions that seem to take the analyst more time to explore. The paper shows that to simplify linear MBA-expressions (reduce the number of terms), a technique similar to the technique of decoding linear codes by information sets can be applied. …”
