LiteFDNet: A Lightweight Deep Network for Cardiotocography-Based Fetal Distress Detection

This retrospective single-center study developed and evaluated LiteFDNet, a lightweight deep neural network for intrapartum fetal distress detection from cardiotocography (CTG). All eligible deliveries from April 2014 to December 2024 were included under IRB approval (LGECH-2023-...

Created Ex Nihilo: A Near‐Infrared Afterglow Luminescent Framework of Imidazole Derivatives for Bioimaging

ABSTRACT Afterglow luminescence probes are limited by (i) a lack of new afterglow scaffolds; (ii) a dependence on initial external light activation, and (iii) aggregation‐caused quenching. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that Ir(III) complexes of general formula Ir(C^N)...

Deubiquitination of Vangl by USP6 and USP32 Regulates Planar Cell Polarity Signaling

ABSTRACT Planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism regulating polarized cellular and tissue behaviors in diverse morphogenetic and physiological processes. Disruption or aberrant activation of PCP signaling can cause developmental defects or pr...

STRP: A Low-Cost Teleoperation Platform with Spatial Force Feedback for Visually Occluded Dexterous Manipulation in Hazardous Environments

High-voltage grid maintenance and chemical processing demand dexterous manipulation in confined, visually occluded environments. Existing teleoperation systems present a severe cost–fidelity trade-off: industrial platforms exceed USD 60,000 yet lack spatial directional resolution...

Does Digitalization Widen Labor Income Inequality?

ABSTRACT We develop a growth model that endogenizes the occupational choice of workers with different ability levels to study how digitalization affects labor income inequality. The framework incorporates digitalization's multifaceted effects on the economy: (i) it influences eco...

Transcending the Space‐Bandwidth and Lighting Trade‐Offs: A Programmable Self‐Mixing Interferometry Imager for Cross‐Scale Surface Inspection

ABSTRACT Industrial optical inspection is fundamentally limited by the trade‐off between spatial bandwidth (field‐of‐view vs. resolution) and vulnerability to ambient lighting. This work addresses these challenges by proposing a programmable imager based on amplitude‐modulated la...

Autophagy-regulating bioactive nanoparticle alleviates MASH via gut–liver axis-mediated mitochondria/cAMP/GLP1 pathway

Chronic exposure of the liver to diverse insults can lead to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hepatic steatosis and inflammation, often accompanied by progressive fibrosis, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and i...

Optimal Consumption Under Loss-Averse Multiplicative Habit Formation Preferences

Abstract. This paper studies a loss-averse version of the multiplicative habit formation preference and the corresponding optimal investment and consumption strategies over an infinite horizon. The agent’s consumption preference is depicted by a general S-shaped utility function...

CoxFormer enables spatial omics inference with multimodal generative modeling

Gene co-expression maps transcriptome-wide gene-gene relationships, yet high-quality estimates cover less than half the genome. Meanwhile, spatial omics either profiles restricted in situ panels or lacks cellular resolution. Extending co-expression transcriptome-wide could overco...

MARMOT: masked autoencoder for modeling transient imaging

Abstract Pretrained models have recently emerged as effective priors for a wide range of vision and computational imaging problems. Transient measurements have emerged as a new imaging modality, in which a time-resolved sensor records photon counts over time bins. In confocal non...

Assortment Optimization for the Multinomial Logit Model with Repeated Customer Interactions

This paper presents the multinomial logit model with repeated customer interactions. In each period, the same customer selects a product from the recommended assortment or opts out. From the seller’s perspective, the choice probability in the current period is updated based on th...

A new platform for achieving long-term air-stable long persistent luminescence in amorphous organic system

Abstract Organic long persistent luminescence (OLPL) materials are at the forefront of research, undergoing rapid evolution due to their extensive potential applications. The realization of hour-level OLPL, particularly an air-stable one, remains a significant challenge. Here, we...

Collective resonance light scattering from thermally relaxing systems in cavities

We study steady-state resonance light scattering from ensembles of noninteracting molecules, both in free space and inside optical cavities, while accounting for local thermal relaxation. The scattering spectra are obtained from steady-state solutions of either the Schrödinger eq...

Programmable RNA targeting with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) effector Cas7-11 in zebrafish embryos and mammalian cells

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> The CRISPR/Cas7-11 system is a recently characterized RNA editing tool that exhibits low toxicity, minimal off-target effects, and reduced collateral RNA cleavage compared with existing methods. Although zebrafish and human embryoni...

Structural Designof AlGaN Deep-Ultraviolet Laserat Wavelength 266.3 nm with Graded Electron Blocking Layer and CompositeQuantum Wells/Barriers

Abstract Deep-ultraviolet laser diodes (DUV LDs) are developing as vigorous light sources for sterilization, lithography, purification, and biochemical sensing. However, the development of high-performance deep-UV laser diodes is still limited by poor hole injection, which comes...

A Normal Map-Based Proximal Stochastic Gradient Method: Convergence and Identification Properties

Abstract. The proximal stochastic gradient method ([Formula: see text]) is one of the state-of-the-art approaches for stochastic composite-type problems. In contrast to its deterministic counterpart, [Formula: see text] has been found to have difficulties with the correct identif...

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Recurrence and Future Type 2 Diabetes Risk Across Racial and Ethnic Groups

OBJECTIVE Despite rising diabetes prevalence among women, data on long-term diabetes risk following gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), particularly its recurrence, remain limited, especially for Asian women. This study examined associations among GDM, its recurrence, and subseq...

Experimental causal inference from measurements alone in the presence of spatial and temporal quantum correlations

The causal structure of a set of events specifies which events influence which others. Determining this structure, known as causal inference, is a fundamental task in science. Reset-style intervention is commonly used to determine causal structure in classical scenarios. However,...

m6A ‐Related Regulation of Ferroptosis Contributes to Nasal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Allergic Rhinitis

ABSTRACT Background Ferroptosis is a non‐apoptotic form of cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. Although elevated lipid peroxidation has been linked to respiratory epithelial injury, its role in allergic rhinitis (AR) remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to ass...
