Planning for success but facing uncertainty: lessons learned from a native oyster, Ostrea lurida, restoration project in the Salish Sea by James T. McArdle, Julie S. Barber, Sarah K. Grossman, Lindy L. Hunter

“…We hypothesize that our restoration efforts are hampered by the relatively small population size within our restored areas, insufficient amounts of appropriate surrounding habitat, and lower water residence time. Our study suggests managers need to consistently monitor restoration projects due to site-specific differences and to determine if local failure is a possibility. …”

Uptake of iron from ferrous fumarate can be mediated by clathrin-dependent endocytosis in Hutu-80 cells by Agata Tarczykowska, Per Malmberg, Nathalie Scheers

“…We used siRNA to silence DMT1 transporter expression, pharmacological inhibition of endocytosis, and Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) to show that iron uptake from ferrous fumarate can be mediated by both transport via DMT1 and by clathrin-dependent endocytosis in Hutu-80 cells. …”

Study on the Effect of Surface Roughness on the Spectral Unmixing of Mixed Pixels by Haonan Zhang, Xingping Wen, Junlong Xu, Dayou Luo, Ping He

“…If the surface roughness of the sample to be measured is less than the maximum wavelength of the spectrometer, the experimental results believe that the photon energy is mainly mirror reflection on the surface of the object and diffuse reflection. At this time, it is still a better choice to use a linear spectral mixing model to decompose the mixed pixels.…”

The effects and mechanisms of deep free trade agreements on agricultural global value chains by Huasheng Zeng, Shuyu Chen, Haoruo Zhang, Jinhai Xu

“…Additional analysis reveals that FTA depth promotes trade liberalization and investment facilitation, thereby enhancing countries’ participation and position in the AGVC.DiscussionThe findings of this paper provide reliable empirical evidence for understanding the influence of FTA depth on AGVC and offer valuable policy insights for countries actively pursuing deeper FTAs.Policy recommendationsTo further advance the evolution of AGVC, it is recommended that countries actively promote the signing of deeper FTAs to accelerate trade liberalization and investment facilitation. At the same time, developed countries should strengthen agricultural technology research and development, assisting developing countries through technology transfer to jointly build a sustainable GVC; developing countries should enhance agricultural cooperation and improve their negotiating power in FTA discussions.…”
