Quantifying water overconsumption using a new water supply sustainability indicator

Communities around the globe are experiencing great difficulty in constraining their water consumption within the limits of available, renewable freshwater supplies. When water consumed from freshwater supplies exceeds natural replenishment from snowmelt, rainfall, or aquifer rec...

Canopy functional composition as an indicator of bird traits, taxonomy, and vulnerability in tropical Peruvian forests

Tropical forests harbour exceptional biodiversity, yet anthropogenic change is rapidly altering forest composition and structure in ways that shape species’ ecological strategies and persistence. While advances in remote sensing now allow detailed characterisation of canopy funct...

Cellular remodeling during reversible life-stage transition in sessile ciliates: Genomic and transcriptomic insights

Unraveling mechanisms driving dramatic life-stage transitions in response to environmental stress is central to understanding cellular adaptation. We studied a distinctive group of sessile ciliates that undergo profound morphological and organellar remodeling when transitioning f...

Ce 3+ ‐Activated BASL Glass With High Verdet Constants and Efficient Luminescence

ABSTRACT Trivalent cerium (Ce 3+ )‐activated optical materials are important for magneto‐optical devices, radiation detection, and advanced photonic systems; however, their performance in oxide glasses has been limited by the instability of Ce 3+ at high concentrations during gla...

FELL BUNDLE LADDER

Abstract We use the ladder technique to establish bijections between the ideals of related Fell bundles.

A functional basis for the developmental sequence of the macrostructure of the Venus flower basket ( Euplectella aspergillum )

Despite receiving significant interest from the biological and engineering communities, several questions about the underlying reasons for the form of the deep-sea sponge Venus flower basket (Euplectela aspergillum) remain unanswered. In particular, the basis for the sequence of...

An Investigation of Sleep Macro‐ and Microarchitecture by APOE Genotype

Objectives Apolipoprotein E ε4 ( APOE ε4 ), a robust genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with functional connectivity deficits and amyloid pathology in brain regions involved in sleep regulation. Thus, alterations in sleep architecture may be one pathwa...

From resilience to antifragility? Satisfying human needs in a disruptive world

Abstract Calls to make ecological systems, organizations, and people “resilient” have become central to sustainability science. However, resilience is a broad term that sometimes means returning to the status quo. In a disruptive world, characterized by interconnected crises such...

Examining Anxiety as an Additional Antecedent to Trust and Commitment in Financial Planning

Abstract Drawing on Morgan and Hunt’s (1994) theory of trust and commitment, this study extends prior research by examining financial anxiety as an antecedent to trust and relationship commitment in client-planner relationships. Survey data from 430 financial planning clients wer...

Toward actionable biomarkers in psychiatry: a collaborative roadmap for precision clinical trials. An ACNP position paper

Abstract Psychiatric drug development remains constrained by diagnostic heterogeneity, insufficient and inconsistent drug response, high placebo response rates, and the absence of validated biomarkers that can reliably guide patient stratification, trial design, and regulatory de...

Accelerated mass loss of glaciers across Alaska since the Little Ice Age

Abstract Alaskan glaciers presently dominate contributions to global glacier mass loss and are projected to do so throughout the 21 st Century. Here we assess centennial-scale evolution and mass loss of 5289 Little Ice Age (LIA) glaciers by mapping geomorphological evidence of gl...

Beyond VO2max: Integrated Physiological Phenotyping and Candidate-Gene Analysis of Elite Versus Recreational Endurance Runners

Background: Endurance performance reflects integrated cardiorespiratory, metabolic and musculoskeletal traits with substantial heritability, yet sex-balanced studies that simultaneously deep-phenotype athletes and genotype candidate loci against trained comparators remain scarce....

Insecticide Resistance Management for Mosquito Control: Mechanisms, Evidence, and Future Challenges

Insecticide resistance threatens the durability of mosquito control. Extending the effective life span of available insecticides is therefore a key challenge. Resistance management strategies (RMS) have been proposed and incorporated into policy guidance, yet their relative effec...

Intramolecular Hydrogen-Bonded Networks for Tuning Anthraquinone Redox Properties

Abstract Intramolecular hydrogen-bonded networks have been designed and synthesized to control quinone redox thermodynamics in a family of anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives. The networks contain imidazole fused to AQ, which is hydrogen-bonded to the AQ carbonyl, and the extended mot...

Explainable AI for predicting and interpreting mathematics achievement: a cross-national analysis of PISA 2018

Abstract This study applies a survey-weighted, plausible-value-aware explainable machine-learning workflow to PISA 2018 mathematics data from 74,235 students in ten purposively selected education systems. The analysis examines cross-national stability and country-specific variati...

Robust valley-polarized excitonic Mott states and doublons enabled by stacking-controlled moiré geometry

Atomically-thin moiré superlattices offer a platform for interacting bosons, where strong onsite repulsion $${U}_{{{\rm{xx}}}}$$ suppresses double occupancy and supports excitonic Mott states at unit filling. However, moiré confinement also enhances phonon- and disorder-assisted...

Etiology of Parental Knowledge, Youth Effortful Control, and Externalizing Behaviors: A Study of Evocative‐Gene Environment Correlations

ABSTRACT Introduction Parental knowledge has been established as a protective factor against both youth emotion dysregulation and externalizing problem behaviors. At the same time, externalizing behaviors and dysregulation have been linked to future parental knowledge. However, t...

Annual geospatial foundation model embeddings for landslide susceptibility assessment in Taiwan

Landslide susceptibility models (LSMs) must identify unstable terrain before failure is visible, yet it remains unclear whether compact geospatial foundation-model embeddings encode such pre-event information. We evaluate the efficacy of annual 64-dimensional AlphaEarth Foundatio...

Partisans misperceive and are influenced by dynamic norms

Abstract Perceptions of social norms, and how those norms change over time, play a central role in shaping how people understand and respond to political divides. We developed and iteratively refined dynamic‐norm messages about bipartisan attitude change to reduce divisive outpar...

The parent bodies of Ryugu and Ivuna formed before those of other carbonaceous chondrites

Most carbonaceous chondrite (CC) meteorites contain abundant chondrules, millimeter-scale spherical inclusions of previously molten material. Ivuna-type carbonaceous chondrites (CIs) do not contain chondrules, nor do samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu. CIs and Ryugu share...
