Revision of the polyphyletic genus Hirrius Bolívar, 1887 (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae), with descriptions of three new genera and insights into antennal sensilla morphology.

Discotettiginae were recently synonymized with Scelimeninae, but the polyphyletic genus Hirrius Bolívar, 1887, with five species endemic to the Philippines and Sulawesi, remained an unsolved issue. Besides similarly widened subapical antennomeres, head and pronotum, other traits suggest that Hirrius members belong to different subfamilies. The genus is now split into four genera, with four new species.

Life-Threatening Reaction to Lifesaving Medication: Stepwise Approach to Severe Adverse Reactions to PCSK-9 Monoclonal Antibodies.

Typical side effects of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 monoclonal antibodies including influenza-like illness and injection site reactions, are minor and well tolerated. This case, however, highlights a less common but severe reaction, indicating the need for clinicians to understand and manage potential rare side effects noted with biologics.

Predictability of antigen binding based on short motifs in the antibody CDRH3.

Adaptive immune receptors, such as antibodies and T-cell receptors, recognize foreign threats with exquisite specificity. A major challenge in adaptive immunology is discovering the rules governing immune receptor-antigen binding in order to predict the antigen binding status of previously unseen immune receptors. Many studies assume that the antigen binding status of an immune receptor may be determined by the presence of a short motif in the complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3), disregarding other amino acids.

Coal to Clean: Comparing Advanced Electrodes for Desulfurization and Copper Recovery.

Unlabelled: This study explores the electrochemical desulfurization of coal and the recovery of copper (Cu) using dimensionally stable anode (DSA) electrodes.

Background: The research addresses the need for effective sulfur removal from coal to reduce emissions.

Methods: Electrochemical desulfurization was conducted using DSA and graphite electrodes, evaluating parameters like activation energy, desulfurization rate, and energy consumption.
