description: Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) tend to interpret noncanonical sentences like passives using event probability (EP) information regardless of structure (e.g., by interpreting “The dog was chased by the squirrel” as “The dog chased the squirrel”). Verbs are a major source of EP information in adults and children with typical development (TD), who know that “chase” implies an unequal relationship among participants. Individuals with DLD have poor verb knowledge and verb-based sentence processing. Yet, they also appear to rely more on EP information than their peers. This paradox raises two questions: (a) How do children with DLD use verb-based EP information alongside other information in online passive sentence interpretation? (b) How does verb vocabulary knowledge support EP information use?Method: We created novel EP biases by showing animations of agents with consistent action tendencies (e.g., clumsy vs. helpful actions). We then used eye tracking to examine how this EP information was used during online passive sentence processing. Participants were 4- to 5-year-old children with DLD (n = 20) and same-age peers with TD (n = 20).Results: In Experiment 1, children with DLD quickly integrated verb-based EP information with morphosyntax close to the verb but failed to do so with distant morphosyntax. In Experiment 2, the quality of children’s sentence-specific verb vocabulary knowledge was positively associated with the use of EP information in both groups.Conclusion: Depending on the morphosyntactic context, children with DLD and TD used EP information differently, but verb vocabulary knowledge aided its use.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Soil tillage is widely acknowledged to affect soil characteristics and agricultural productivity. This research investigates the short-term effects of various tillage methods on soil physical properties and crop yields at a Central German field site with a dry climate (mean temperature 9.5°C; annual precipitation 470 mm). Three tillage approaches were evaluated: conventional plough tillage (25 cm depth), cultivator tillage (18 cm depth), and double-layer plough tillage (15 and 30 cm depth). We assessed soil physical properties through standard laboratory analyses, compression tests, soil pore structure via X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) and crop yields over 3 years. The results indicate that cultivator tillage approach increased soil bulk density relative to conventional tillage, especially in the second year, though this effect diminished over time. Double-layer plough tillage emerged as a viable short-term alternative to conventional tillage, achieving comparable soil bulk density. Saturated hydraulic conductivity values were generally higher for soils under conventional tillage or double-layer plough tillage than for cultivator tillage, highlighting their soil loosening effect. Classical soil analysis methods combined with X-ray computed tomography provided valuable insights into tillage induced changes to soil structure. Cultivator tillage resulted in a distinct pore structure with reduced macroporosity and pore connectivity. Despite notable soil property variations, crop yields remained consistent across the tillage methods. Overall, double-layer plough tillage presents a sustainable option, moderately improving soil physical properties while maintaining crop yields. This study highlights the need to assess the short-term effects of tillage on soils and contributes to the broader dialogue on optimizing tillage strategies for effective soil management and crop production.

description: A base station is capable of transmitting a signal in a wireless communication network. The base station decides channel state information matrices of respective channels by determining a state of the channels corresponding to respective transmission antennas. The base station calculates transmission beam forming vectors for the respective transmission antennas by a combination of a dot product and a cross product of the channel state information matrices. Thereafter, the base station beam-forms signals for the respective transmission antennas by using the respective transmission beam forming vectors, and transmitting the beam-formed signals.

description: C. leidyi Harrah, 1922
Syn. Cyclocoelum cuneatum Harrah, 1922
Type host. Wilson’s snipe, Gallinago delicata Ord (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae).
This host is considered a subspecies of the common snipe, Gallinago gallinago (Linnaeus) (Syns. Capella gallinago Linnaeus, Gallinago wilsoni [Ord]) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae).
Locality. Westchester, Pennsylvania, USA.
Previously proposed synonyms. Cyclocoelum obscurum (Leidy, 1887) —Tubangui (1923), Joyeux & Baer (1927), Witenberg (1928) and Dubois (1959); Monostomum mutabile Zeder, 1800 — Harrah (1922); Monostomum mutabile (= Cyclocoelum mutabile [Zeder, 1800])— Bashkirova (1950).
Remarks. Leidy (1885) considered this species to be Monostomum mutabile (= C. mutabile), and he did not describe it. Harrah (1922) provided a brief description of this species with illustrations and named it C. leidyi. Cyclocoelum cuneatum was originally described from specimen 0 8.172 of the Ward Collection at the University of Illinois; however, C. cuneatum cannot be distinguished from C. leidyi and is synonymized herein with the latter. Cyclocoelum cuneatum has a somewhat smaller ovary than C. leidyi (215–331 compared to 380–390 wide), but C. leidyi is larger (16,000–18,000 compared to 10,500–12,000 long) and the ovary in both species represents 2–3% of the body length. The difference in the size of the ovary is likely related to the size of the specimens. In addition to similarities in the measurements, C. leidyi and C. cuneatum both have a largely intertesticular uterus, the posteriormost uterine loops do not invade the posttesticular space and they are both from G. gallinago from North America. Both have a rudimentary oral sucker present—Harrah (1922).

description: We assessed the impact of road disturbances on the dominant mycorrhizal types in ecosystems at the global level and how this mechanism can potentially lead to lasting plant community changes. We used a database of coordinated plant community surveys following mountain roads from 894 plots in 11 mountain regions across the globe in combination with an existing database of mycorrhizal–plant associations in order to approximate the relative abundance of mycorrhizal types in natural and disturbed environments. Our findings show that roadside disturbance promotes the cover of plants associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This effect is especially strong in colder mountain environments and in mountain regions where plant communities are dominated by ectomycorrhizal (EcM) or ericoid-mycorrhizal (ErM) associations. Furthermore, non-native plant species, which we confirmed to be mostly AM plants, are more successful in environments dominated by AM associations. These biogeographical patterns suggest that changes in mycorrhizal types could be a crucial factor in the worldwide impact of anthropogenic disturbances on mountain ecosystems. Indeed, roadsides foster AM-dominated systems, where AM-fungi might aid AM-associated plant species while potentially reducing the biotic resistance against invasive non-native species, often also associated with AM networks. Restoration efforts in mountain ecosystems will have to contend with changes in the fundamental make-up of EcM- and ErM plant communities induced by roadside disturbance.

description: Class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) are considered promising targets in current cancer research. To obtain subtype-selective and potent HDAC inhibitors, we used the aminobenzamide scaffold as the zinc-binding group and prepared new derivatives with a pyrazole ring as the linking group. The synthesized compounds were analyzed in vitro using an enzymatic assay against HDAC1, -2, and -3. Compounds 12b, 15b, and 15i were found to be potent HDAC1 inhibitors, also in comparison to the reference compounds entinostat and tacedinaline, with IC50 values of 0.93, 0.22, and 0.68 μM, respectively. The best compounds were measured for their cellular effect and target engagement in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. In addition, we studied the interaction of the compounds with HDAC subtypes using docking and molecular dynamic simulations. In summary, we have developed a new chemotype of HDAC1 inhibitors that can be used for further structure-based optimization.

description: The indirect emission had a negative influence on the ecosystem of enormous amounts of harmful dyes into water. Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was successfully fabricated to capture Gentine violet (GV)) as a model example of cationic dye from their aqueous solutions was evaluated in this search as a method to eliminate dyes from water contaminants. FTIR, XPS, BET, TGA, SEM, TEM, and XRD have all been used to study this adsorbent in order to determine its structural and chemical characteristics as well as to interpret its binding mechanisms. According to the results of the characterization, the synthesized composite had a size about 45 nm, a surface area of 856.06 m2/g, and considerable magnetic characteristics (66.2 emug-1). A second phase involved testing the GV dye's sorption characteristics by looking at how pH, sorbent dosage, temperature, and ionic strength affect things; To investigate the sorption isotherms and uptake kinetics, the optimum pH was employed since it was crucial for producing an active negatively charged surface on the entire Fe3O4@Ag-MOF adsorbent, Consequently, we created mesoporous surfaces that had a strong ability to interface and absorb GV dye. It is possible to use the pseudo-second order rate equation to characterize the kinetic profile., while the Langmuir equation fits isotherm models. At pH 9, maximum sorption capacities can reach 1.68 mmol g-1. Additionally, the investigations of temperature profiles indicated the endothermic process and Thermodynamic parameters were discovered as, ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° The synthesized adsorbent had an interestingly high reusability of > 92 percent up to the sixth cycle. During adsorption, the crystalline phase was stable, and the distinctive XRD peak intensities and locations of Fe3O4@Ag-MOF did not change appreciably after adsorption. These findings revealed that a mixture of electrostatic interactions, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, and pore filling were involved in the GV adsorption mechanism. Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was successful in demonstrating its effectiveness as a point-of-use colour collection candidate from actual dyeing effluents.

The lithic technology of a Late Woodland occupation on the Delaware Bay:
Creators: name: Kotcho, James P.

description: This study aims to identify technological practices of Native American people who lived at the Kimble's Beach site (28CM36A) during the Late Woodland period (ca. 800/900-1650 AD) of Eastern prehistory. This site is located in the northern portion of the Cape May Peninsula along the margin of the Delaware Bay in New Jersey. It was jointly excavated by Rutgers University and Stockton State College in the period 1995-1998. The study is limited to the excavations at the Beach Face locus, which is the modern beach face. The site was in an upland location 400-500 m from the bay during the Late Woodland period.  Data collected from chipped stone debitage recovered from the beach face are compared with data collected from the debitage derived from experimentally replicated small triangular projectile points and several types of scrapers found in the assemblage to identify tool making behavior represented at the site. Sullivan and Rozen's flake types derived from the debitage of the tool making experiments and experimental bipolar and freehand reduction of alluvial chert pebbles were evaluated with discriminant analysis to determine if these reduction strategies may be distinguished by this data. Additional experimental work involved collecting and grading of chert and jasper gravels from the current beach face, heat treating a subset of split gravels, and conducting a reconnaissance for other lithic sources within a 10 km catchment area surrounding the site.Selected attributes of the experimental debitage were assessed for their value to differentiate between reduction strategies, determine the proportion of biface and scraper manufacture, distinguish between starting forms for tool manufacture, identify biface reduction stages, determine the length of the biface trajectory, and to distinguish between hard hammer and pressure flakes. An experimental production rate for biface/uniface manufacture and general bipolar reduction of alluvial gravels was developed. A biface reduction sequence for production of triangular projectile points from alluvial chert and jasper gravels is proposed. Conclusions concerning the site function, mobility strategies employed, and any intrasite differences are discussed. A behavioral flow model that accounts for the choices that the Native American inhabitants of the Beach Face locus made in their use of lithic technology is presented. Recommendations for future research are given.

Remarks. This species was considered a synonym of C. pseudomicrostomum Harrah, 1922 by Bashkirova (1950) and of C. mutabile (Zeder, 1800) by Dubois (1959). It is very similar to C. pseudomicrostomum and C. obscurum (Leidy, 1887), except that unlike C. microcotyleum, these two species appear to have a rudimentary oral sucker (Harrah 1922) and lack a ventral sucker. Cyclocoelum microcotyleum Noble, 1933 was described by Noble (1933) as lacking an oral sucker (“no trace of an oral sucker”), but it was shown in histological sections to have a “vestigial” ventral sucker—Noble (1933).

description: An enzyme-free electrochemical approach for ultra-trace quantification of the organophosphate insecticide malathion is proposed in this study. It is premised on screen-printed carbon electrodes modified by the MIL-88B(Fe) metal-organic framework (MOF). A one-pot solvothermal method was used to synthesize MIL-88B(Fe). The surface modification of electrodes allowed for increased electroactive surface area and accelerated electron transport on the electrode. Inhibition in the redox signal of MIL-88B(Fe) was observed due to the affinity between metal centers of the MOF and the functional groups of malathion, leading to an accurate determination of malathion. The proposed sensor effectively quantified malathion in the wide concentration range of 1x10-12 M to 1x10-6 M. The limit of detection for malathion was 0.79 pM. The proposed sensor also possessed excellent stability, repeatability, and anti-interference characteristics. Furthermore, the proposed sensor demonstrated satisfactory malathion recovery in spiked vegetable samples. Highlights

description: Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of the Survival of Motoneuron (SMN) protein. SMN interacts with and regulates the actin-binding protein profilin2a, thereby influencing actin dynamics. Dysfunctional actin dynamics caused by SMN loss disrupts neurite outgrowth, axonal pathfinding, and formation of functional synapses in neurons. Whether the SMN protein directly interacts with and regulates filamentous (F-) and monomeric globular (G-) actin is still elusive. In a quantitative single cell approach, we show that SMN loss leads to dysregulated F-/G-actin fractions. Furthermore, quantitative assessment of cell morphology suggests an F-actin organizational defect. Interestingly, this is mediated by an interaction of SMN with G- and F-actin. In co-immunoprecipitation, in-vitro pulldown and co-localization assays, we elucidated that this interaction is independent of the SMN-profilin2a interaction. Therefore, we suggest two populations being relevant for functional actin dynamics in healthy neurons: SMN-profilin2a-actin and SMN-actin. Additionally, those two populations may influence each other and therefore regulate binding of SMN to actin. In SMA, we showed a dysregulated co-localization pattern of SMN-actin which could only partially rescued by SMN restoration. However, dysregulation of F-/G-actin fractions was reduced by SMN restoration. Taken together, our results suggest a novel molecular function of SMN in binding to actin independent from SMN-profilin2a interaction.

description: This study aimed to compare different pancreatic enzyme preparations (PEPs) available in Germany regarding particle geometry and size, and to evaluate enzyme activity under physiologically relevant conditions in vitro. Pancreatic endocrine insufficiency is characterized by deficiency of pancreatic enzymes resulting in maldigestion. It is orally treated by pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. The formulations differ in their physical properties and enzyme release behavior, potentially resulting in inconsistent dosages and poor interchangeability of products. A total of 25 products were analyzed for particle size and number of particles per capsule. Enzyme activities of lipase, amylase, and protease were measured by digestion of olive oil emulsion, starch, and casein, respectively. To analyze enzyme release, gastric environments were simulated by incubating PEPs at pH 1, 4, or 5. Duodenal conditions were simulated by subsequent incubation at pH 6. Regarding physical properties and enzyme release kinetics, considerable differences between different PEPs were found. Furthermore, compared to the label claim, excess lipase activity was observed for most products, reaching up to 148%. These in vitro results suggest poor interchangeability of PEPs, potentially explained by physical and release characteristics. Physicians and patients should be aware of the potential gap between label claims and the real-life performance of different PEPs.

Type host. Tufted duck, Aythya fuligula (Linnaeus) (Syn. Fuligula cristata Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae).
Type locality. Europe; specific type locality unknown.
Additional hosts. Species of Aythya Boie (Syn. Fuligula [Linnaeus]); tufted pochard, Nyroca fuligula (Linné) (Syn. A. fuligula); graylag goose, Anser anser (Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae) — Yamaguti (1971).
Additional locality. Republic of Kazakhstan; Siberia, specific localities unknown — Yamaguti (1971).
Previously proposed synonyms. Hyptiasmus magnus Johnston, 1917 (= Prohyptiasmus magnus [Johnston, 1917])— Bashkirova (1950); Prohyptiasmus robustum (Stossich, 1902) — Feizullaev (1980).
Remarks. This species was originally named Cyclocoelum robustum Stossich, 1902, but only a body length and body width was provided in the original description. It was transferred to Prohyptiasmus Witenberg, 1923 by Witenberg (1923) where Prohyptiasmus robustus (Stossich, 1902) was designated as the type species for the genus, but neither an adequate redescription nor illustrations were provided—Bashkirova (1950); Yamaguti (1971). Witenberg (1926) provided a representative diagram of a species of Prohyptiasmus in his Table 2, which apparently was presumed to represent P. robustus (= Cyclocoelum robustum)— Yamaguti (1971, Fig. 1141). The diagram of Witenberg (1926) shows the species to have an intertesticular ovary that is in a straight line with two tandem testes (Hyptiasminae), a prepharyngeal genital pore and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly, and it would be assigned to Hyptiasmus Kossack, 1911 as suggested by Kossack (1911). Witenberg (1928) placed this species in Harrahium Witenberg, 1926, thus removing it as the type species for Prohyptiasmus and proposed a replacement genus, Stossichium Witenberg, 1928 with S. magnum (Johnston, 1917) as the type species. However, C. robustum, as originally described by Stossich (1902), has an intertesticular ovary, forming a triangle with the testes (Fig. 11 of Stossich 1902) (Cyclocoelinae), a prepharyngeal genital pore (Fig. 12) and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly (Fig. 11), placing it in Cyclocoelum. No oral or ventral sucker described—Stossich (1902).
