Candidate Pheromone Receptors of the Red-Belted Clearwing Moth <i>Synanthedon myophaeformis</i> Bind Pear Ester and Other Semiochemicals by Alberto Maria Cattaneo, William B. Walker

“…The red-belted clearwing moth <i>Synanthedon myophaeformis</i> is a deleterious pest of apple orchards, wherein the larvae bore tree bark, resulting in reduced fitness and ultimately death. The main control strategies of this pest still rely on the use of pesticides, while alternative agronomic methods for its control coexist, with the application of the main pheromone (Z,Z)-3,13-octadecadien-1-yl acetate. …”

Prediction Model of Household Carbon Emission in Old Residential Areas in Drought and Cold Regions Based on Gene Expression Programming by Shiao Chen, Yaohui Gao, Zhaonian Dai, Wen Ren

“…Subsequently, a hybrid prediction model was constructed, with its parameters optimized by minimizing the root mean square error (RMSE) as the fitness function. Experimental results demonstrated that the model achieved an R² value of 0.81, reducing RMSE by 77.1% compared to conventional GEP models and by 60.4% compared to BP neural networks, while significantly improving stability. …”

Corporeal vision and contemplation in the epistemological context: a comparison of the “Homilies on the Psalms” by Origen and saint Basil of Caesarea by Anna Grünert

“…At the same time, our study demonstrates that the use of both the concept of “contemplation” and the vocabulary of visual sense partially fits into the philosophical division of the neoplatonic curriculum: while the study by bodily vision of the sensuous world created by God is associated with physics, the contemplation as a study of the supersensuous world by supersensory vision is associated with epoptics. …”

Assessing the E-bike trends and impact on sustainable mobility: A national-level study in the Netherlands by Bingyuan (Amelia) Huang, Hans Wüst, Mathijs de Haas

“…Our findings highlight an ongoing increase in e-bike distance share, with marked gender and generational differences in growth patterns. Notably, women have higher e-bike usage than men, and this gap is narrowing for older age groups while widening among younger demographics, suggesting that younger people may adopt e-bike usage differently than older generation. …”

Novel symbiotic protoplasts formed by endophytic fungi explain their hidden existence, lifestyle switching, and diversity within the plant kingdom. by Peter R Atsatt, Matthew D Whiteside

“…Diverse fungi live all or part of their life cycle inside plants as asymptomatic endophytes. While endophytic fungi are increasingly recognized as significant components of plant fitness, it is unclear how they interact with plant cells; why they occur throughout the fungal kingdom; and why they are associated with most fungal lifestyles. …”
