Rationale Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are contributing to unprecedented overdose rates, yet the neural circuitry underlying fentanyl-associated behaviors remains poorly understood. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) projects to both the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and prefrontal cortex (PFC), forming distinct pathways that are implicated in drug-cue associations, though their specific roles in fentanyl-context encoding are not w...

Bamboo species serve as hosts to diverse microfungi, with the genus Dictyoarthrinium being a prevalent member. This paper introduces Dictyoarthrinium bambusae as a new species and reports D. thailandicum as a new record for India, both identified from bamboo species in Goa. These taxa were identified based on phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU, SSU, and ITS) and protein‐coding genes (TEF1‐ α ), plus morphologi...

We conduct a comprehensive investigation of the generation of storm surges along the coast in response to complex coastline geometry using a standalone advanced circulation (ADCIRC) model. The study deals with sensitivity experiments using various idealized concave and/or convex model domains with the same intensity in terms of parallel cyclone tracks. It demonstrates that a sharp curvature, along with the landfall location of...
