The increase in pharmaceutical residues and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and biotoxins, in coastal ecosystems represents a critical threat to global health. Mussels (Mytilus spp....
Recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding and generating code, from competitive programming to repository-level software engineering. In emerging agent...
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support marine biodiversity and provide essential services to coastal economies. However, they are increasingly threatened by different contaminants, such as poly...
The marine environment of the Amathole region, located in the central part of South Africa's Eastern Cape Province near East London on the southeast coast, is characterized by a narrow continental she...
Liquid water exists on the Earth and several other planetary bodies in our solar system. The chemical character of these aqueous reservoirs is central to evaluating their habitability. Here, we synthe...
YouTube Shorts have become central to news consumption on the platform, yet research on how geopolitical events are represented in this format remains limited. To address this gap, we present a multim...
The protection of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) is a priority for ecosystem-based fisheries management in the Mediterranean Sea. The bamboo coral Isidella elongata forms complex habitats that ar...
The increasing accumulation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste in the environment poses a growing threat to natural ecosystems due to its resistance to degradation. In this study, bacterial isol...
As immunotherapies become standard cancer treatments, it is increasingly important to identify a patient's immune profile, which encompasses the activity of immune cells within the tumor microenvironm...
The development of sustainable, bioderived, conductive ionic gels for low-temperature applications remains a critical challenge, particularly in eliminating reliance on ethylene glycol-based antifreez...
This paper introduces \emph{biased mean regression}, estimating the \emph{biased mean}, i.e., $\mathbb{E}[Y] + x$, where $x \in \mathbb{R}$. The approach addresses a fundamental statistical problem th...
Although Quintero-Puchuncaví Bay, Chile, is a coastal area historically known to be subject to multiple industrial pressures, few studies have focused on the associated risks to marine ecosystems and,...
Radiocarbon analysis is an indispensable tool in various fields, including environmental studies, archaeology, geochemistry, and marine science. Two primary oxidation methods for solids, elemental ana...
The poles represent Earth's most climate-sensitive biomes, where microbial communities and viruses drive fundamental ecological processes. Within these extreme environments, giant viruses of the phylu...
This review examines the growing concern over persistent, non-biodegradable micro- and nanopollutants in marine environments, driven largely by industrial activities, particularly manufacturing proces...
Five previously undescribed polyhydroxylated spirostanols, fusaspironols A-E (1-5), along with eight known compounds (6-13), were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Fusarium inflexum ZEN8. Thei...
Marine biofouling remains a persistent global challenge, causing severe deterioration of offshore infrastructures and marine vessels, which results in significant economic losses and ecological concer...
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) monitoring, in which automated systems monitor the CoT of an LLM, is a promising approach for effectively overseeing AI systems. However, the extent to which a model's CoT helps...
The exploration of early evolutionary processes, particularly focusing on archaea, provides valuable insights into the beginnings of life on Earth. Archaea, one of the three domains of life, have sign...
