This study investigates the impact of recent Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven technological innovations on carbon prices across different quantiles, assessing the influence of AI stock prices on energy prices based on European carbon allowances while controlling for other macroeconomic factors. Using robust methods such as quantile-on-quantile regression, wavelet analysis, and transfer entropy, the research quantifies the information flow between the AI market and carbon allowances. Using daily data with four alternative AI stock prices from September 14, 2016, to December 29, 2023, the findings reveal a strong effect of AI returns on carbon prices, with significant fluctuations across price quantiles and consistent long-term average growth in market returns.

Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, ensuring a balanced immune response. Tregs primarily operate in an antigen-specific fashion, facilitated by their distinct distribution within discrete niches. Tregs have been studied extensively, from their point of origin in the thymus origin to their fate in the periphery or organs.

Prediction and quantification of nutrient concentrations in surface water has gained substantial attention during recent decades because excess nutrients released from agricultural and urban watersheds can significantly deteriorate surface water quality. Machine learning (ML) models are considered an effective tool for better understanding and characterization of nutrient release from agricultural fields to surface water. However, to date, no systematic investigations have examined the implementation of different classification and regression ML models in agricultural settings to predict nutrient concentrations in surface water using a group of input variables including climatological (e.

To investigate the therapeutic potential of 5-Fluorouracil-based analogues, a straightforward synthetic technique was employed to synthesize a novel series of 5-arylurea uracil derivatives (AUFU01-03) and aryl-urea derivatives bearing perfluorophenyl (AUPF01-03). Reliable tools such as infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra, and elemental analyses were utilized to confirm the chemical structures and purity of these compounds. In comparison to healthy noncancerous control skin fibroblast cells (BJ-1), we examined the antiproliferative efficacy of compounds (AUFU01-03) and (AUPF01-03) against specific human malignant cell lines of the breast (MCF-7), and colon (HCT-116).

The control of multi-robot formations is a crucial aspect in various applications, such as transport, surveillance and monitoring environments. Maintaining robots in a specific formation pose or performing a cooperative task is a significant challenge when a fault occurs among any of the robots. This work presents a Decentralized Fault-Tolerant Control (DFTC) scheme that addresses lidar sensor faults within a system of multiple differential wheeled mobile robots.

Objectives: Chicken (Gallus gallus), as the most economically important poultry, is a classical and ideal model for studying the mechanism of vertebrate developmental biology and embryology. However, the sex determination and differentiation in chicken is still elusive, which limited the application and slowed down many basic studies in chicken.

Data Description: We applied PacBio Iso-seq to multiple spatiotemporal embryo-gonad tissues in the male and female chicken, which contain the blastoderm (E0, un-differentiation stage), genital ridge (E3.

Aims: This study aims to identify the impact of climate change anxiety and asthma control on asthmatics' quality of life and examine the moderating role of climate change anxiety in this linkage.

Method: A multi-national cross-sectional study was conducted in four Arabian countries on 1266 asthmatics selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected from November 2023 to February 2024 using a climate anxiety scale, mini-asthma quality of life questionnaire, and an asthma control questionnaire.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how organisational agility relates to nurses' green work behavior and how climate activism influences this relationship, focusing on sustainable healthcare practices.
  • Conducted in 2024 across eight Egyptian hospitals with 781 nurses, the research used validated tools to measure the variables and analyzed them to establish connections.
  • Findings reveal that greater organisational agility and climate activism positively correlate with green work behavior, with climate activism partially mediating this effect, suggesting that flexible, environmentally-conscious practices can enhance sustainability in nursing.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looks at how being ignored at work (workplace ostracism) can lead nurses to put off their tasks (procrastination).
  • It also explores how not speaking up about problems (organizational silence) makes this situation worse.
  • The researchers found that when nurses feel ignored and stay silent about issues, they are more likely to delay their work and it affects their overall performance.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptors and has a poor prognosis as it is resistant to chemotherapy. A new treatment option for this type of cancer may be by putting these malignant cells into dormancy. The oocyte's embryonic milieu presents a unique tumor reversion microenvironment by inducing growth arrest and changing cells' phenotypes.
