Adult worms that belong to Carassotrema Park 1938 and Elonginurus Lu, 1955 were found in the intestine of Carassius gibelio Bloch, 1782 from the southern Russian Far East and Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 from northern Vietnam, respectively. Morphometric parameters, geographic location and host species composition of these worms correspond to Carassotrema koreanum Park 1938, which is a known parasite of cyprinid fish in Korea, Japan and China, and Elonginurus mugilus Lu, 1955, first described from M. cephalus in China. The validity of Carassotrema ginezinskajae Kulakova, Ha Ky, 1976, a synonym of C. koreanum, first described from Spinibarbichthys denticulatus Oshima, 1926 in Vietnam, supported the morphometric data. Phylogenetic analysis based on combined ITS2 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and 28S rRNA indicated that C. koreanum and E. mugilus belong to the subfamily Waretrematinae and are closely related to the genera Skrjabinolecithum and Parasaccocoelium, respectively. Species similarity, revealed through molecular analysis, agreed with the generic diagnoses for Parasaccocoelium and Elonginurus, as well as for Carassotrema and Skrjabinolecithum.

Optimizing process and heat-treatment parameters of laser powder bed fusion for producing Ti-6Al-4V alloys with high strength and ductility is crucial to meet performance demands in various applications. Nevertheless, inherent trade-offs between strength and ductility render traditional trial-and-error methods inefficient. Herein, we present Pareto active learning framework with targeted experimental validation to efficiently explore vast parameter space of 296 candidates, pinpointing optimal parameters to augment both strength and ductility.

Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of collected by the CMS experiment at , the decay is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The relative branching fraction, with respect to the decay, is measured to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is related to the uncertainties in and .

The orchid faces endangerment due to habitat loss and illegal harvesting, necessitating the development of an optimized artificial propagation system to aid conservation and reintroduction efforts. This study evaluated the effects of three plant growth media, namely Murashige and Skoog (MS), Hyponex, and Orchid Maintenance Medium (OMM) (P668), and various organic additives (apple homogenate, banana homogenate, and coconut water) on the in vitro seedling growth of . The results reveal that, in early postgermination stages, seedlings achieve maximum growth in the Hyponex medium, with a fresh weight (92 mg) and root length (2.
