Reducing the Filtering Effect in Public School Admissions: A Bias-aware Analysis for Targeted Interventions

Problem definition: Traditionally, New York City’s top 8 public schools have selected candidates solely based on their scores in the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT). These scores are known to be impacted by socioeconomic status of students and amount of test prepa...

Proteolytic Activation of T Cell Engagers And Bispecific Proteins Using Modular Coiled-Coil Peptides

Abstract Bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) are engineered immunotherapeutic molecules designed to direct the body’s immune system against malignant cells by physically connecting T cells to target cells, triggering cytotoxic responses. BiTEs have typically engaged T cells via αC...

Unveiling the Structural Advantages in PTFE‐Based Dry‐Processed Electrodes for Sulfide‐Based All‐Solid‐State Batteries via 3D Microstructure‐Resolved Analysis

ABSTRACT All‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs) employing sulfide‐based solid electrolytes (SEs) are promising candidates for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries owing to their high energy density and safety. Their electrochemical performance is strongly influenced by the electrode...

The Strong Electronic Metal–Support Interactions Mediated Direct Three‐Electron Oxygen Reduction for Enhanced Hydroxyl Radical Generation

ABSTRACT Hydroxyl radical (·OH) production in the traditional electro‐Fenton process relies on the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR) to generate H 2 O 2 , followed by activation by ferrous ions, suffering from low efficiency and mass‐transfer limitations. Herein,...

The impact of multi-injection events on a compression-ignition engine using ducted fuel injection: A numerical and experimental study

Ducted fuel injection (DFI) is a technology to curtail soot formation from diesel combustion while mitigating its typical trade-off with nitrogen oxides (NOx). Previous studies have demonstrated its potential in both vessel and compression-ignition (CI) engine applications relyin...

Robust Optimization of Flexible Train Formation Strategy and Passenger Flow Control in Urban Rail Transit

Abstract To address the mismatch between transport capacity and passenger demand in metro operations, this study investigates the coordinated optimization of flexible train formation and passenger flow control. First, under deterministic passenger demand, a coordinated optimizati...

Bipolar conductivity AlN with ultra-low contact resistance

Recent advances in achieving conducting n- and p-type AlN films have pioneered a new technology suitable for high-voltage/power/temperature applications. However, the development of low contact resistances to AlN films is still a major research problem attributed to extremely hig...

Thermoplastic Dielectric Coatings for Flexible Electrodynamic Dust Shields: Structural and Functional Performance

ABSTRACT Lunar dust severely complicates space exploration by adhering to and contaminating exposed spacecraft surfaces. Electrodynamic dust shielding (EDS) is an active mitigation technology that repels electrostatically charged dust particles using oscillating electric fields;...

Journeys of Parents with LGBTQ+ Children: How Trauma and Healing Reshape Identity and (Mis)Informating Practices

This study examines how parents of LGBTQ+ individuals in South Korea navigate the emotional rupture fueled by fear, isolation, and disorientation after learning their children’s queer identity, encounter queer-related (mis)information as a way of coping with this emotional toll,...

"The Only Thing Certain About This is Uncertainty": Exploring Informal Care Coordination Practices Among Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Older adults aging in place often have informal support systems to help them maintain independence and quality of life. As they age, many older adults deal with the onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), which introduces a new set of functional and cognitive changes that affec...

"The New Era of Tech-Enabled Traceability": Tensions between the FDA’s Data Governance Vision and the Lived Realities of Food Producers

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Food Traceability Rule, promulgated as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), requires agri-food supply chain stakeholders (stakeholders) —including farmers, fishers, retail workers, and others—to maintain detailed tracking...

Postphenomenological Insights from an In-the-Wild Collective Sensing System Deployment for PTSD Therapy

Treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have high clinical efficacy for a variety of mental health disorders. Their effectiveness, however, is often limited by low patient engagement with clinical homework. Novel technologies are accordingly being integrated into clini...

From Mediation to Escalation: Buffer Spaces for Workplace Concern Reporting

Workplace concern reporting systems have traditionally been designed around formal channels such as HR portals, grievance procedures, and whistleblower mechanisms. However, employees often perceive these formal systems as opaque, untrustworthy, emotionally draining, and ultimatel...

Near-Optimal Mechanisms for Resource Allocation Without Monetary Transfers

Aligning Incentives Without Opening the Wallet Many organizations must repeatedly allocate scarce resources—computing capacity, scientific equipment, school seats, or food-bank supplies—when monetary payments are impractical or undesirable. Blanchard and Jaillet show how future a...

A New Look at the Relationship Between Individual Differences in Cognitive Abilities and Automation-Assisted Performance

ObjectiveThis study explored whether and which cognitive abilities are supported by various levels of automation.BackgroundParasuraman's (2000) model of automation provided guidance for designing automation to augment cognitive tasks. Subsequent mixed empirical findings and evolv...

Agricultural liming is a carbon sink in the Mississippi River Basin

Application of carbonate minerals to arable lands, known as agricultural liming, is a long-standing practice for counteracting soil acidification1–3. Although liming boosts crop yields4, it is also considered a source of agricultural carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions5. Here we show,...

Ultrafine Sm2Fe17N3 soft actuators enabling robust operation at elevated temperature

Magnetoactive soft composites comprising hard magnetic particles embedded in elastomer matrices have emerged as a promising platform for programmable soft actuators capable of remote, untethered actuation. Ferromagnetic Nd 2 Fe 14 B particles, characterized by a high maximum ener...

Optimal Flight Planning for Marine Mammal Surveillance from a Seaplane Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Unmanned aerial vehicles are playing an increasing role in environmental monitoring and wildlife conservation activities. This paper describes an optimal flight planning algorithm for a solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle designed to search for and identify whales in the open o...

Protein expression derived from scRNA-seq reveals lupus-induced acceleration of immune aging

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is widely established and excels at capturing transcriptional heterogeneity and signaling states. However, it lacks direct quantification of surface proteins, which are key determinants of immune cell identity and function. To enable protein...

A Heavy Traffic Theory of Matching Queues

Motivated by emerging applications in online matching platforms and marketplaces, we study a matching queue. Customers and servers that arrive in a matching queue depart as soon as they are matched. It is known that a matching queue without an external control is unstable, and so...
