We provide a general overview of features and technical specifications of an original interactive key web application for the identification of Palaearctic Tachinidae genera. The full list of terminal taxa included in the key, which is the most updated list of genera currently recorded for the Palaearctic Region, is given. We also briefly discuss the need for dealing with detailed and standardized taxa descriptions as a base to keep matrix-based interactive tools easily updated, by proposing a standardized protocol.

The spin-orbit ( - ) interaction in a focused-reflected beam of light results in spatially nonuniform polarization in the beam cross section due to the superposition of orthogonal field components and polarization-dependent interface reflection coefficients. Polarization filtering the output beam leads to an interchangeable transformation of =∓2 charge vortex into two (∓) unit charge vortices, for = ±1 circular polarization of the input Gaussian beam. This transformation follows a trajectory, named optical vortex trajectory, that depends on the input beam's and hence the and reflecting surface characteristics.

The dynamic interplay between extracellular matrix (ECM), its 3D architecture and resident cells plays a pivotal role in cell behavior influencing essential processes like proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Matrix-based 3D culture systems have emerged as valuable tools to model organ and tissue interactions . A 3D matrix analog must possess high biocompatibility and fully reproduce the characteristics of the native tissue in terms of mechanical properties.

Background: CareMOBI (mhealth for Organization to Bolster Interconnectedness) is a user-centered mobile application that supports secure communication between adult day health centers, primary care providers, and family caregivers. The aim of this study was to examine the acceptability of CareMOBI in the primary care setting and identify factors contributing to the likelihood of adoption among primary care providers.
Methods: We used a mixed-methods concurrent triangulation design.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain various valuable medical entities and their relationships. Although the extraction of biomedical relationships has achieved good results in the mining of electronic health records and the construction of biomedical knowledge bases, there are still some problems. There may be implied complex associations between entities and relationships in overlapping triplets, and ignoring these interactions may lead to a decrease in the accuracy of entity extraction.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are two typical types of non-coding RNAs that interact and play important regulatory roles in many animal organisms. Exploring the unknown interactions between lncRNAs and miRNAs contributes to a better understanding of their functional involvement. Currently, studying the interactions between lncRNAs and miRNAs heavily relies on laborious biological experiments.
