Education, diversity and progress

Abstract Around the world, girls and women are much less likely to be able to access a good education, and even in countries like the UK, stereotyping can deter girls from pursuing careers in subjects like the physical sciences, engineering and computing. Yet, many daily decision...

The parameter estimation tables (PEtab) format version 2

Abstract Parameter estimation is a central task in data-driven computational modeling, and a clear, unambiguous, and commonly understood specification of parameter estimation problems is essential for reproducibility and interoperability. PEtab provides a standardized framework f...

The Effects of Non-Premixed Hydrogen on Soot Formation in an Ethylene-Fuelled Laboratory-Scale Rich-Quench-Lean Combustor

Abstract This work investigates the effects of hydrogen blending on soot formation and flame structure in a laboratory-scale Rich-Quench-Lean (RQL) burner using ethylene-hydrogen mixtures (0-50 vol.% hydrogen) at constant carbon mass flow rate. Laser-induced incandescence and sin...

Programmable multifunctional microrobots for synergistic cuproptosis-immunotherapy

Abstract Oral microrobots as drug carriers have shown great promise in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, existing platforms frequently lack the programmable temporal precision required to execute complex, multi-stage dosing regimens. Here, we...

Trace-element enrichment in agricultural soils under wastewater-influenced surface-water irrigation: a plot-scale study in an Andean micro-watershed

Abstract The use of wastewater-influenced surface waters for agricultural irrigation is common in many regions, yet its implications for soil geochemistry remain insufficiently characterized, particularly in Andean micro-watersheds. This study evaluates the occurrence and distrib...

Data-driven mapping of known and novel fluid biomarker progression profiles in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration

Abstract Introduction Recent proteomic studies have identified both established and novel proteins in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). However, it remains unclear at what point in the disease these proteins deviate from normal levels and how their trajectories re...

Towards scalable AI-assisted pre-bunking of election misinformation: evidence from a pre-registered US panel experiment

Abstract We present a scalable artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted framework for rapidly generating ‘pre-bunking’ articles against election misinformation. Our approach uses a stable template structure that, once finalized through human review, can be quickly adapted to counter...

Verhaltenspolitik 2.0: Evidenz, Infrastruktur und Governance für die nächste Generation verhaltensbasierter Politik

Zusammenfassung Verhaltensökonomische Ansätze sind heute fest in der Wirtschaftspolitik verankert. Wie Malte Dewies und Lucia A. Reisch argumentieren, hat die Verhaltenspolitik eine zweite, reifere Phase erreicht – mit stärkerer Evidenz, fester institutioneller Einbettung sowie h...

The Past, Present, and Future of Online Biodiversity Knowledge Systems

In recent decades, the availability and accessibility of biodiversity data and the profusion of portals, tools, and platforms through which to utilize them have increased rapidly. This reflects the extensive variety of challenges biodiversity data are being used to address and th...
