Reproducibility, Replicability, and Research Quality in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract Researchers from all sectors of homogeneous catalysis convened in response to concerns regarding reproducibility in science to analyze the issue and provide recommendations. In addition to an in-person workshop, the group engaged the broader homogeneous catalysis communi...

Early Damage Detection in Cinnamoyl‐Functionalized Shape Memory Epoxy Through Mechanochemical Activation

ABSTRACT Shape memory epoxy (SMP) networks combine high mechanical robustness with thermally triggered shape recovery; however, integrating mechanochemical sensing while preserving shape memory performance remains challenging due to limited force transfer within highly crosslinke...

Streaming Molecular Dynamics Simulation Data for On-the-Fly Processing and Analysis

Abstract Only a small fraction of the data generated in state-of-the-art all-atom multimicrosecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is typically analyzed. With femtosecond integration steps, microsecond simulations generate billions of time steps with a complete set of atomic...

Measuring Reasoning Quality in LLMs: A Multi-Dimensional Behavioral Framework

Despite remarkable progress on reasoning benchmarks, current LLM evaluation practice remains anchored to final-answer correctness. This provides limited insight into how models reason, how reliably they behave under contextual variation, or how efficiently they reach conclusions....

Criminal Trial Attorney Questions About Parent Conflict when Children Testify Against a Parent in Child Sexual Abuse Cases

When a parent is accused of child sexual abuse (CSA), parent conflict raises concerns about allegation credibility. However, little is known about how attorneys question children about parent conflict. We examined 21,863 question-answer pairs from 53 testimonies of 6- to 17-year-...

Banning the Fans: Policing Black Women, Policing Black Joy

ABSTRACT In many public self‐segregating/segregated Black spaces—cookouts, family reunions, wedding receptions, fraternity and sorority gatherings, birthday parties, HBCU and Divine 9 professional conferences, some workplaces, and even cruises—803Fresh's 2024 “Boots on the Ground...

Why Poverty in the Present Matters for Intergenerational Concern and the Future of Humanity

Contrary to perceived tensions between addressing present and future societal needs, we find present-day poverty and inequality are deeply connected with attitudes toward far-future welfare at both societal and individual levels. Study 1 (144 countries) shows that poorer, more un...

Swimming Kinematics and Hydrodynamics of a Subtropical Sea Angel

Abstract Sea angels (gymnosomatous pteropods) are small zooplanktonic shell-less marine snails inhabiting the meso- and epipelagic zones. They swim in an intermediate Reynolds number regime using highly flexible, wing-like parapodia in order to capture prey, avoid predators, and...

Observations of Atmospheric Helium and Oxygen With SPHEREx

Abstract We present measurements of near‐infrared (NIR) terrestrial airglow produced by helium and oxygen in the exosphere as observed by the Spectro‐Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and ices Explorer (SPHEREx). Using 8 months of survey data obta...

Genomic predisposition is associated with the direction of sex chromosome evolution

Sex chromosome evolution is among the most dynamic genomic innovations in vertebrates, yet why some lineages evolve XY while others evolve ZW remains unclear. Using chromosome-level genomes from 19 geckos, we found that gecko sex chromosomes originated independently from 16 ances...

John Milton Brown

Abstract John Milton Brown began his independent scientific career at the University of Southampton in 1971 and moved to the University of Oxford some 12 years later. His interests centred on the measurement and interpretation of the spectra of small free radicals (generally unst...

ODIN: Confirmation and 3D Reconstruction of Six Massive Protoclusters at Cosmic Noon

Abstract Protoclusters represent sites of accelerated galaxy formation and extreme astrophysical activity characteristic of dense environments. Identifying massive protoclusters and mapping their spatial structures are therefore crucial for understanding how large-scale environme...

From bird viremia to bird surveillance: identifiability in a multi-scale vector-borne model of Usutu virus infection

Abstract Usutu virus is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus, maintained through an enzootic cycle involving wild birds and mosquitoes, with occasional spillover to humans. Understanding how interactions across these biological scales shape transmission dynamics is essential for...

Rethinking Our Sociological Imaginations Through the Global South: Lessons From the Colonized

Data sharing not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analysed during the current study.

Shifting drivers and predictable corridors of an illegal wildlife trade network

Illegal wildlife trade is a major driver of biodiversity loss but the lack of understanding of mechanisms sustaining criminal networks hampers law enforcement. We integrated three decades of confiscation data, criminological modeling, and spatial network analysis to dissect the i...

Branching Out: How Constitutional Isomerism Influences Volatility in Butyl Acetates

This project investigates how molecular branching affects the evaporation rate (volatility) of butyl acetate isomers used in fragrances. By analysing published chemical data, I compared linear and branched structures. The results proved that increased branching lowers boiling poi...

A comparative “report card” wellbeing assessment of 22 countries in the Global Flourishing Study

When evaluating how countries are faring, there is a widespread tendency to rely on single metrics or indices, whether objective (e.g., GDP) or subjective (e.g., life evaluation). However, flourishing is multidimensional, and societies invariably do better in some ways and less s...

Gender roles and identity at Chiribaya Alta, Peru: A multiple correspondence analysis of mortuary contexts

Gender is an important structuring social identity, but archaeologists continue to struggle with non-binary ways to approach gender in the past. This study uses grave good presence and absence to examine the nature of gender roles and gender identity at Chiribaya Alta, Peru. Mult...

A Wastewater-basedModeling Framework for InferringNorovirus Transmission Dynamics

Abstract Norovirus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis globally, yet its true infection burden in the community remains poorly understood because of widespread asymptomatic transmission and underreporting. Wastewater-based surveillance is a promising approach for tracking infec...

Provider-Identified strategies to address homelessness in Arizona: a summary of strategies, evidence, and impact

Few sources have reviewed the state of the evidence on commonly implemented and emerging strategies to prevent and respond to homelessness in the United States. We conducted focus groups with 58 homeless service providers and administrators across Arizona about strategies used to...
