Background: Crossover interactions stemming from phenotypic plasticity complicate selection decisions when evaluating hybrid maize with superior grain yield and consistent performance. Consequently, a two-year, region-wide investigation of 45 hybrids maize across Nepal was performed with the aim of disclosing both site and wide adapted hybrids. Utilizing an innovative "ProbBreed" package, based on Bayesian probability analysis of randomized complete block designs with three replicated trials at each station, this study substantively streamlines hybrids maize selection.

If barriers, such as differential attainment, exist at HST selection for some groups and not others, then this will have a significant and lasting impact on trainees' career progression and the diversity of the workforce, which should reflect the population it provides care for. The objective of this study was to characterise the relationship between candidate sociodemographic factors and performance at National Selection for HST in the UK.

Air pollution has become a major challenge to global urban sustainable development, necessitating urgent solutions. Meteorological variables are key determinants of air quality; however, research on their impact across different urban gradients remains limited, and their mechanisms are largely unexplored. This study investigates the dynamic effects of meteorological variables on air quality under varying levels of urbanization using Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, as a case study.

Background: The clinical pictures of essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are often quite mimic at the early stage, and longstanding ET may ultimately develop to PD, that is, PD with "antecedent ET". Early diagnosis and differentiation of the two are essential for predicting disease progression and formulating individualized treatment plans. However, current approaches remain challenging.

The 39th International Society for Animal Genetics conference (ISAG) was held for the first time in Africa under the theme 'Animal genetics for a sustainable future' in 2023. The conference convened scientists, policy makers, industry professionals, and students from interdisciplinary fields to share and discuss the latest developments in the space of animal genetics. Since its inception as a society, ISAG has sought to provide a platform advocating for a just and equitable future in animal genetics.
