Saturation and hue perceived in monochromatic stimuli and in light mixtures were scaled psychophysically by a direct magnitude estimation method. The colors were of aperture mode and were presented against a dark background. As a result opponent-colors functions were obtained which show the hue sensations produced by the lights of the visible spectrum (under the observing conditions used). Compared to the opponent-colors functions of Hurwich and Jameson, obtained by a cancellation technique, the subjective hue sensation differed significantly. It may be concluded that these cancellation functions describe an earlier, probably a retinal level of data processing, while our results may be regarded as a description of the output of the color vision system.

Smallholder wheat farmers of Ethiopia frequently use landraces as seed sources that are low yielders and susceptible to diseases due to shortage of seeds of adapted improved bread wheat varieties. Developing novel improved varieties with wider adaptability and stability is necessary to maximize the productivity of bread wheat. Hence, a multi-location field trial was conducted across four locations in south Ethiopia during the 2022/23 main cropping season with the objective of estimating the magnitude of genotype by environment interaction (GEI) effect, and determine the stable genotype among the 10 Ethiopian bread wheat advanced selections using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications.

Social networks are a battlefield for political propaganda. Protected by the anonymity of the internet, political actors use computational propaganda to influence the masses. Their methods include the use of synchronized or individual bots, multiple accounts operated by one social media management tool, or different manipulations of search engines and social network algorithms, all aiming to promote their ideology.

Background: Global comparisons of the burden and impact of cancers of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) are critical for developing effective control strategies and generating etiological hypotheses to drive future research.
Methods: National incidence estimates were obtained from GLOBOCAN 2022, and recorded incidence data from the Cancer in Five Continents series, both developed and compiled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We examined the estimated age-standardized incidence rates in 185 countries, as well as time trends in recorded incidence in 35 countries, quantifying the direction and change in the magnitude of the rates using the estimated average percentage change (EAPC).

We report a computational study of the gas-phase and water-mediated mechanisms for the oxidation of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) by the hydroxyl radical. To achieve reliable results, we employ a dual-level strategy within interpolated single-point energies (VTST-ISPE) at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. In the gas-phase mechanism, we have determined the rate constants by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation in the interval of temperatures of 250-550 K.

The contrasting response of AOA, AOB, and comammox transcript abundance to temperature, moisture, and nitrogen was investigated using soil microcosms. The moisture, temperature, and nitrogen treatments were selected to represent conditions typically found in a New Zealand (NZ) dairy farm. AOB dominated all synthetic urine treated soils.
