Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) Decomposes to Its Monohydrate (H2CO3·H2O) and CO2 on Decompression

Abstract The presence of H2O and CO2 on the icy moons in our solar system and in potentially habitable water worlds makes the understanding of phase stabilities and structure–property relations of phases in the H2O–CO2 system highly relevant for astrophysical research. Here we sh...

Structure-function coupling reveals hemisphere-specific network reorganization after stroke

MRI is an excellent tool for monitoring functional and structural network reorganization after brain injury and may provide biomarkers for treatment stratification and novel neuromodulatory interventions. In ischemic stroke, functional network changes, particularly within the con...

Changes-in-Changes for Ordered Choice Models with Underreporting

We develop a Difference-in-Differences framework for discrete, ordered outcomes subject to underreporting. Such outcomes commonly arise in self-reported surveys on socially undesirable or stigmatized behaviors, where respondents may conceal their true behavior. For a discrete Cha...

Mediatised Agricultural TechnoEnvironments in Indonesia. Reimagining Embodied Knowledge and Practice in Technological Environments

Abstract Indonesia’s response to the digital era entails both opportunities and challenges and shows how the state and civil society alike navigate through policies and implementations. Mediatisation is affecting more and more areas of life, and Indonesian netizens negotiate and...

Quantitative Signalling-to-Product Rigidity for Two-Qubit Unitary Channels

For a bipartite unitary channel, exact absence of one-way signalling is known to force product structure. We give an explicit quantitative version for two-qubit unitaries. Let Sigma_{A->B}(U) be the unhalved diamond-norm distance of Bob's reduced output channel from the set of ch...

Risk-Adaptive System and Method for Continuous Verification of Human-Machine Alignment Prior to Consequential Action

This preprint discloses a risk-adaptive system and method for constructing, verifying, and continuously re-verifying a machine-readable representation of authorized human purpose prior to and during machine execution of consequential action. Existing authorization systems resolve...

Incident psoriasis in atopic dermatitis: a large-scale cohort study of disease- and treatment-associated risks

Abstract Background Clinical and genetic evidence on the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and subsequent psoriasis remains conflicting, and it is unclear whether this risk is modified by systemic treatments. Recent reports suggest type 2-targeted biologics may unmask ps...

Supporting 3Rs approaches in biologicals testing: responses from a survey of Manufacturers, Contract Research Organisations, National Control Laboratories and National Regulatory Authorities

In October 2023, the UK National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) presented recommendations to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Expert Committee for Biological Standardization following an audit of WHO vaccine and biotherapeut...
