Baseline levels of microplastics in agricultural soils obscure the effects of additional microplastics from recycled fertilizers by Collin J. Weber, Dominika Kundel, Andreas Fliessbach, Else K. Bünemann, Moritz Bigalke

“…Whilst it was observed from the fluxes that digestate can be a substantial source of microplastics to soils, the comparatively short time of application and the high background at our investigated sites leads to a obscured effect where digestate inputs serve a limited function.…”

Demand-aware traffic cooperation for self-organizing cognitive small-cell networks by Changhua Yao, Lei Zhu, Yongxing Jia, Lei Wang

“…To solve the distributed self-organizing traffic cooperation coalition formation problem, we propose three coalition formation algorithms: the first one is the Binary Preferring Traffic Cooperation Coalition Formation Algorithm based on the traditional Binary Preferring order; the second one is the Best Selection Traffic Cooperation Coalition Formation Algorithm based on the functional Best Selection order to improve the converging speed; and the third one is the Probabilistic Decision Traffic Cooperation Coalition Formation Algorithm based on the functional Probabilistic Decision order to improve the performance of the formed coalition. …”

Mitochondrial genome assembly of the Chinese endemic species of Camellia luteoflora and revealing its repetitive sequence mediated recombination, codon preferences and MTPTs by Xu Xiao, Zhaohui Ran, Chao Yan, Weihao Gu, Zhi Li

“…Phylogenetic reconstruction using mitochondrial PCGs positioned C. luteoflora in closest evolutionary proximity to Camellia sinensis var. sinensis. Selection pressure analysis (Ka/Ks ratios < 1 for 11 PCGs) and nucleotide diversity assessment (Pi values: 0–0.00711) indicated strong purifying selection and low sequence divergence.This study provides the first comprehensive mitochondrial genomic resource for C. luteoflora, offering critical insights for germplasm conservation, comparative organelle genomics, phylogenetic resolution, and evolutionary adaptation studies in Camellia species.…”
