This article examines a key aspect of American sports history within a transnational context.

Article on an analysis of the genome of a Korean isolate of the Pieris rapae granulovirus enabled by its separation from total host genomic DNA by pulse-field electrophoresis.

This article explores the use of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to identify attitudes, social norms, and behavioral control in 92 young adults toward two intentional behaviors related to safe listening habits while listening to their personal listening devices: (1) lowering the intensity of loud music, and (2) shortening the listening duration of loud music. Linear regression findings indicated that the overall TPB models were significant. Positive attitudes toward turning the music down and shortening the durations were significantly associated with intentions to engage in non-risky behavior, more so for the former behavior.

This article describes how residents in urban food deserts access food, the barriers they experience in accessing nutritious, affordable food, and how community food insecurity exacerbates prior social, built, and economic stressors.

The article is part of a series of Editorials published biannually that highlights a number of recently published articles that describe crucial findings. This article highlights 25 different articles that range from asthma treatment to new oral β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI).

This article uses PCL to blend into PBHV. Both unfoamed and foamed blends are examined. The results provide a pathway to multifunctional performance in foams of high performance biopolymers such as PBHV through harnessing the CO₂ miscibility of PCL.

This article argues that the development of rap song lyrics or lyrical concept mapping can be a viable pedagogical alternative to the development of concept maps as a means to reinforce STEM vocabulary.

This article is the fourth paper of the Special Issue Memory and Criticality. It bridges the the theoretical debate on the role of memory and criticality discussed in the three earlier manuscripts, with a review of key concepts in biology and focus on cell-to-cell communication in organismal development. The authors suggest that in conjunction with morphogenetic gradients, there exist gradients of information transfer creating cybernetic loops of stability and disorder, setting the stage for adaptive capability. Criticality, therefore, appears to be an important factor in the transmission, transfer and coding of information for complex adaptive system development.

This article presents a study with the purpose to determine the effect of dietary supplementation with optimized curcumin, pomegranate ellagitannins, and MSM (R + MSM) on immune-associated mRNA during early recovery (i.e., up to 8 h post-exercise) following all-out running efforts (5-km, 10-km, and 21.1-km). The results demonstrate that supplementation with a combination of optimized curcumin, pomegranate ellagitannins, and methylsulfonylmethane resulted in changes that may improve biological recovery from all-out running efforts.

Article describes how many agricultural management tactics, such as reduced tillage, aim to promote biodiversity and ecosystem services. Authors assessed how soil tillage and landscape context affected arthropod biodiversity and crop yield in canola crop fields.

Article describes how protective coatings are important for enhancing tribological behavior, preventing surface degradation, and reducing friction-induced energy losses during the operation of mechanical systems. The authors study the effect of catalytic metals, specifically their compositions and amount, on the tribocatalysis process.

Article on the effects of coumarate 3-hydroxylase down-regulation on lignin structure.

Study examines the outcomes of popular diets which do not have specific calorie targets, meal replacements, supplementation with commercial products, and/or are not categorized as “low-calorie” diets.

Article describes how organic-inorganic perovskites hold great promise as optoelectronic semiconductors for pure color light emitting and photovoltaic devices. This paper investigates the laser radiation hardening and self-healing-induced properties of aged MAPbBr3 perovskites encapsulated in NiO nanotubes (MAPbBr3@NiO) using photoluminescence (PL) and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM). After deliberately subjecting the MAPbBr3@ NiO to atmospheric conditions for two years, the sample remains remarkably stable.

Erratum for the article "Draft Genome Sequence of Cupriavidus sp. Strain SK-3, a 4-Chlorobiphenyl- and 4-Chlorobenzoic Acid-Degrading Bacterium".

Article asserts that international students face unique challenges in pursuing higher education in a foreign country. To address these challenges and enhance their academic experience, higher education institutions are increasingly exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The research paper explores various AI applications, such as personalized learning experiences, adaptive testing, predictive analytics, and chatbots for learning and research.

This article reports results of a study that used an in-depth comparative content analysis to assess free-text and controlled vocabulary collection-level subject metadata in three large-scale digital libraries in the European Union and the USA.

This article creates a green strategy to fabricate a highly crystalline olefin-linked pyrazine-based covalent organic framework (COF) with high robustness and porosity under solvent-free conditions. This study opens up new possibilities for the green synthesis of advanced materials and provides important guidance for the rational design and synthesis of polymeric materials for proton-exchange membrane fuel cell applications.

This article describes a preliminary investigation into urban adults' perceptions of sedentary behavior alongside perceived barriers and enablers to physical activity.

Article demonstrates electrostatic switching in vertically oriented carbon nanofibers synthesized on refractory metallic nitride substrates, where pull-in voltages Vpi ranged from 10 to 40 V. A finite element model was also developed to determine a theoretical Vpi and results were compared to experiment.

This article summarizes the results of an investigation on the effect of the colemanite on physical and mechanical properties of concrete using colemanite as replacement aggregate.
