We demonstrate gigahertz electro-optic modulator fabricated on low temperature polysilicon using excimer laser annealing technique compatible with CMOS backend integration. Carrier injection modulation at 3 Gbps is achieved. These results open up an array of possibilities for silicon photonics including photonics on DRAM and on flexible substrates.

Body temperature regulation in endotherms requires warming the body when ambient temperatures are low and cooling the body when they are high. Now, neural circuitry that can achieve the opposite has been identified - a phenomenon called thermoregulatory inversion.

Low-temperature stress is a limiting factor affecting the safe overwintering and stable production of apples. Galactinol, produced by galactinol synthase (GolS), is an important plant cryoprotectant. This study showed for the first time that exogenous spraying of apple saplings with 100 mg mL galactinol could effectively alleviate the damage from low-temperature stress.

In recent decades, worldwide concerns about the health of honey bees motivated the development of surveys to monitor the colony losses, of which Sub-Saharan Africa has had limited representation. In the context of climate change, understanding how climate affects colony losses has become fundamental, yet literature on this subject is scarce. For the first time, we conducted a survey to estimate the livestock decrease of honey bee colonies in Kenya for the year 2021-2022 to explore the effects of environmental conditions, such as temperature and precipitation, on livestock decrease.

Synergistic influence of extrusion conditions and whey protein isolate (WPI) incorporation on glycemic response and physicochemical characteristics of rice starch was studied. Box-Behnken Design was used to evaluate effect of process variables (rice starch:WPI ratio; feed moisture and barrel temperature) on quality characteristics of resistant starch-rich, low GI extruded snacks (RSLG-E). Optimum conditions for development of RSLG-E were WPI:18.

There has been an increase in foodborne vibriosis outbreaks globally, with Vibrio parahaemolyticus emerging as a foodborne issue in temperate commercial shellfish growing regions, including southern Australia. The food safety concerns associated with these microorganisms have led to the need for specific guidance on potential risk management strategies for their control. This is the first Australian multi-seasonal survey of V.
