As Spoken Language Models (SLMs) integrate speech and text modalities, they inherit the safety vulnerabilities of their LLM backbone and an expanded attack surface. SLMs have been previously shown to ...
Microbial interaction networks can rewire in response to host and environmental factors, yet most existing methods for network estimation treat the covariance structure as static across samples. We pr...
Consider the canonical universal hash family $h(x)= ((ax+b)\text{ mod } p)\text{ mod } m$, where $a,b$ are chosen uniformly from $\mathbb Z_p$, which we call linear hashing, being used to hash $n$ ele...
General-purpose robots must perform a wide range of tasks from agile locomotion to dexterous manipulation. While sim-to-real reinforcement learning (RL) has proven to be a useful tool for this goal, c...
Microplastics contamination in seafood has emerged as a growing concern for environmental exposure and food safety. This study characterizes microplastics in commercially harvested Penaeus indicus fro...
Today, relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water is melting Thwaites Glacier at the base of its ice shelf and at the grounding zone, contributing to significant ice retreat. Accelerating ice loss has bee...
Microbial degradation represents a promising remediation strategy for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polycarbonate (PC) microplastics, which have been widely detected in the Haima cold seeps. However, t...
People of the Jomon period in Japan led a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and actively engaged in fishing in coastal areas. On the Atsumi Peninsula, which is located in the southern part of Aichi Prefecture...
The picocyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is responsible for ~10% of annual marine carbon fixation and plays a role in the global carbon budget. While these phototrophs are primarily considered free-livi...
Marine healing is an integrative program that uses marine resources to alleviate physical and psychological discomforts; however, studies on its effects on serum metabolites are limited. We hypothesiz...
Seafood plays a vital yet underexplored role in addressing nutritional deficiencies in tropical countries. Despite Brazil's vast coastline and marine biodiversity, seafood contribution to human nutrit...
The increasing demand for sustainable aquafeed ingredients has driven the exploration of alternative protein sources to replace conventional fishmeal and soybean meal. Defatted algae cake (DAC), a by-...
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a key pathogenic factor in gastric diseases (GDs). Nutraceuticals with antioxidant activity derived from macroalgae represent promising preventive strategies...
Solea aegyptiaca gelatin (GSA) is a promising alternative to conventional gelatin. With a yield of 9.64% after 9 h, it was produced by alkali pretreatment followed by acid extraction. GSA exhibited a ...
At the subantarctic islands of South Georgia, albatrosses and petrels occupy a range of trophic niches, from zooplanktivore to top predator. Interspecific variation in mercury (Hg) contamination is th...
Trace elements occur naturally in the environment, but anthropogenic activities can amplify their release, increasing exposure and bioaccumulation in marine predators such as seabirds. Mercury (Hg) in...
Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in marine ecosystems, posing escalating ecotoxicological risks across trophic levels. This review highlights the current knowledge on the sou...
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors, but its clinical application is severely limited by dose-dependent intestinal injury that impairs patient quality of life...
Urban populations in early modern to modern Japan depended strongly on rice and marine fish, raising the question of whether such apparently simple diets provided sufficient mineral availability in ev...
The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome poses significant health risks, particularly for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Exercise interventions have shown promise in improving the...
