Assessing student learning in quantum computing: lessons from developing a test item on phase kickback

A major challenge for quantum workforce development is the need to both understand and reliably assess student learning of quantum information science (QIS) fundamentals. Yet student thinking is notoriously difficult to probe, even for seasoned education researchers. This article...

Hybrid Intelligence Forecasting: A Review

This paper presents a comprehensive review of Hybrid Intelligence Forecasting (HIF), an emerging paradigm that integrates human judgment and machine intelligence to create a better sociotechnical ensemble and enhance forecasting performance.While current iterations of artificial...

The distribution of fitness effects of nonsynonymous mutations varies phylogenetically across animals

The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) describes the selection coefficients of newly arising mutations and fundamentally influences population genetic processes. However, the extent and mechanisms of differences in the DFE for non-synonymous mutations have not been systematica...

Strategic Lignin Fractionation: Sustainable Encapsulation and Controlled Release of Pelargonic Acid

Abstract Interest in bio-based herbicides, such as pelargonic acid (PA), a naturally occurring fatty acid with rapid post-emergent herbicidal activity, has increased in response to the growing demand for sustainable and effective weed-control strategies. However, its practical ap...
