One-loop renormalization of quark TMD in the light-cone gauge: CSS evolution

Abstract We calculate the one-loop corrections to the quark TMD (focusing on the divergences) in the light-cone gauge using the background field formalism, testing different prescriptions for the extra singularity present in the light-cone gauge propagator. We use the pure rapidi...

Nano-wrinkle waveguides for programmable polariton channeling

Abstract The intrinsic planarity of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) polaritonic media inherently limits the lateral confinement of vdW polaritons. Here, we transcend this geometric limit by introducing a deterministic strategy to engineer non-planar nano-wrinkle waveguid...

Clarifying the Protective Role of Empowerment Against Weight/Shape Concerns Among Black and White Women Who Have Experienced Intimate Partner Violence and are Residing in Shelter

Women who have experienced intimate partner violence (W-IPV) exhibit relatively high levels of disordered eating (DE). Empowerment has been demonstrated to be a protective factor against negative mental health outcomes for W-IPV, but has not been studied, with respect to DE, in t...

Expanding frameworks: Integrating vulnerability, exposure, and critical infrastructure to assess pluvial flood risks in New York City

Extreme precipitation events are increasing their frequency and intensity across the United States, posing growing risks to urban communities through pluvial flooding. Effective adaptation against pluvial flooding through structural and nonstructural measures requires understandi...

Regioselective N ‐Benzotriazole Substitution Under Mechanochemical Conditions

Here, we present a simple and efficient method for synthesizing substituted benzotriazoles under mechanochemical conditions. Under optimal conditions, the coupling between 1,2,3‐benzotriazole and benzyl bromide occurs with 99% conversion and 17:1 regioselectivity within 30 min of...

Estimation of Property Value Changes from Nearby Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Projects in the United States

Abstract Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is vital to decarbonization, but its socioeconomic impact on nearby communities remains understudied. Using property-level housing transaction data (1990–2021) matched to nationwide CCUS project records, we apply a hedonic...

When “Signals” Boomerang: Employers’ Reactions to a Novel Signaling Mechanism

Information asymmetry is a persistent challenge in online labor markets because employers cannot directly observe worker quality. Platforms attempt to mitigate this problem by introducing signaling mechanisms. We examine how employers respond to a novel signaling device: a volunt...

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer

Various environmental and endogenous stressors, including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, cytotoxins, and dysregulated translation, can induce ribosome stalling and collisions, disrupting protein homeostasis. The ribotoxic stress response (RSR) is a cellular surveillance mechanism th...

The Protective Role of Positive Parent-Child Interaction in Mitigating Neurodevelopmental Risks Associated With Preterm Birth

Preterm birth is a well-established biological risk factor for adverse cognitive, behavioral, and emotional outcomes throughout development. However, considerable variability in these outcomes suggests that environmental factors may significantly influence developmental trajector...

Benchmark Brown Dwarfs as Chemical Laboratories: Linking System Bulk Properties to Atmospheric Retrievals

Abstract We present the first atmospheric retrieval analysis of two compositional benchmark mid-L dwarfs – SDSSJ141659.78+500626.4 and GJ 499 C – using the Brewster retrieval framework, where the wide benchmark nature of these systems provides independent constraints on age and b...

Broad-spectrum LC-MS/MS hair analysis for monitoring recreational drug use in electronic dance music festival attendees

Abstract Purpose Hair toxicological analysis enables the verification of long-term drug use monitoring and supports epidemiological studies. In recreational contexts, multi-analyte methods are crucial for accurately characterizing consumption patterns. The present work aimed to d...

Structural and biophysical characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DciA reveals functional convergence in DnaB helicase recognition

Abstract In bacteria, DnaB replicative helicases are essential for unwinding genomic DNA to provide the single‐stranded templates required for replication. The recruitment of the hexameric DnaB helicase to the origin of replication is mediated by distinct mechanisms that rely on...

Topological polaritons in natural uniaxial materials

Surface polaritons in natural materials offer unique opportunities for tailoring light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. While various classes of surface polaritons have recently been unveiled via near-field imaging techniques, their connection to the underlying topological p...

Hemorrhagic hepatocellular carcinoma managed with urgent transarterial particle embolization: A case report

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although many cases follow an indolent course, spontaneous hemorrhage from HCC is a rare but life-threatening complication that requires rapi...

Epidemic mean-field thresholds of SIS dynamics on temporal multiplex networks with activity-driven layers

Abstract We investigate the susceptible--infected--susceptible (SIS) process on a temporal multiplex network where a persistent static layer is overlaid with an activity-driven layer of one-step contacts. Simulations on several random network families (Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi, Watts--...

Sex Work and Policing in the United States

Prior research on sex worker–police interactions in the United States has primarily focused on regional samples and negative interactions. The current study draws from national sex worker survey data ( N = 440) and seeks to answer two questions: (1) What types of interactions do...

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions and their association with autoimmune disease: an update

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), are T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity reacti...

Testing electron–photon exchange–correlation functional performance for many-electron systems under weak and strong light–matter coupling

We present results for a photon-free exchange–correlation functional within the local density approximation (pxcLDA) for quantum electrodynamics density functional theory (QEDFT), which efficiently describes the electron density of many-electron systems across weak to strong ligh...

Optimizing Inventory Placement for a Downstream Online Matching Problem

Problem definition: We study the inventory placement problem of splitting [Formula: see text] units of a single item across warehouses in advance of a downstream online matching problem that represents the dynamic fulfillment decisions of an e-commerce retailer. This is a challen...

A Qualitative Study Identifying Behavioral Science Communication Strategies to Improve Client Engagement and HIV Prevention by Disease Interventionists

Background: Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS), essential implementers of HIV prevention efforts, have increasingly relied on learned empathy, rather than evidence-based strategies for client engagement. Given the mismatch between DIS demands and training, as well as demonstr...
