A research team has successfully sequenced and assembled the genomes of all four Macadamia species, marking a significant advance in crop improvement efforts for this commercially valuable nut.
A research team showcases the application of deep learning models in identifying leaf diseases in key tropical crops such as coconut, mango, and durian, offering crucial insights for the future of precision agriculture.
A research team has unveiled findings that enhance the classification of coffee origin through vibrational spectroscopy, a green, cost-effective, and rapid analytical method.
A research team has unveiled the unique chemical, microstructural, rheological, and flavor-related properties of four commercially available microalgal species—Arthrospira, Isochrysis, Nannochloropsis, and Tetraselmis.
A research team demonstrates the efficacy of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO) donor, in preserving fresh walnuts (Juglans regia L.) post-harvest quality.
A concerning increase in global rates of severe invasive infections becoming resistant to key antibiotics has a team of infectious disease researchers at the Houston Methodist Research Institute studying a recently emerged strain of bacteria called Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE). SDSE infects humans via the skin, throat, gastrointestinal tract and female genital tract to cause infections ranging in severity from strep throat (pharyngitis) to necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease).
A Stanford-led study of 25 video interventions points to solutions for reducing polarization, anti-democratic attitudes and support for political violence. Two treatments submitted by University of Utah scholars showed most promise addressing all three of these divisive outcomes.
Medicare-certified home health agencies, which are key to allowing older adults to age in place, are increasingly going through ownership changes, raising concerns about health care spending, workforce, and quality of care, according to a study by UTHealth Houston.
Scientists are developing ways to detect and identify not only new, previously unseen forms of fentanyl but also newer and more dangerous synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.
