The C2H2 zinc-finger protein CaZAT11 positively regulates cold tolerance in pepper and physically interacts with CaSTOP1.

Low temperature is a major environmental constraint that challenges pepper growth and productivity. Although C2H2 zinc-finger transcription factors have been implicated in plant responses to abiotic stresses, their roles in pepper cold tolerance remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified the C2H2 zinc-finge...

Uncertainty-Calibrated Residual Conformal Monitoring of Wind Turbine SCADA Data for Cross-Asset Anomaly Detection Under Distribution Shift

Wind turbine SCADA anomaly detectors are commonly calibrated using data from the same asset or development period, whereas deployment requires transfer across turbines with different operating distributions. This mismatch can produce optimistic thresholds, excessive false alarms, and misleading generalization estimates...

Allelopathic effects of Euphorbia thyrsoidea and Oxalis latifolia on germination and seedling growth of Triticum aestivum

Allelopathy involves the release of bioactive compounds from plants that may inhibit or stimulate the germination and growth of neighboring species. This study evaluated the allelopathic effects of Euphorbia thyrsoidea Boiss. and Oxalis latifolia Kunth. on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) germination and early seedling gro...

Construction of statistically optimal dynamic S-boxes for secure image encryption

This study presents an S-box generator that integrates dynamic polynomial with its induced map to generate highly secure and dynamic outputs, and keep the time complexity flexible, and proposes an image encryption by employing the generated S-boxes.
