Carbonate-System Perturbation by Invasive Bivalves Threatens Drinking-Water Security in Calcium-Limited Catchments

Abstract Invasive bivalve ecosystem engineers pose an under-recognized threat to drinking-water security. In the Waikato River, New Zealand, rapid establishment of Corbicula fluminea (Asian clam) since their 2023 incursion has depleted dissolved calcium ∼24% below historical base...

The Portrayal of Libraries as Remote Workplaces in the General Media: A Qualitative Content Analysis

A sample of 52 sources were analyzed to investigate how libraries are portrayed in the general media as spaces for remote workers. Features highlighted as advantageous included meeting rooms, booths, quiet zones, and on-site cafes; Wi-Fi, computers, reprographic services, and sui...

ERFMTDA: Predicting tsRNA–disease associations using an enhanced rotative factorization machine

Abstract Motivation tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) have emerged as a novel class of regulatory molecules implicated in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, making them as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets. However, existing computational methods for tsRNA–disease...

Short- and long-term influences on voting: the case of the 2025 Australian election

The 2025 Australian federal election, although widely expected to result in a hung parliament, was a resounding win for the Australian Labor Party. What explained this result? Was the election result driven by long-term shifts in Australian electoral behaviour, by short-term camp...

Osteoporosis treatment with biosimilars in Malaysia and Thailand: a budget impact analysis

Abstract Introduction Biologic treatments demonstrate long-term clinical benefits for patients with osteoporosis, but their cost is prohibitive, and access can be limited, particularly in low-income countries. This analysis determined the cost impact of introducing biosimilar den...

Strategic desecuritization under asymmetry: from security opportunity to security trap

Abstract Why do actors that use security framing to elevate an urgent issue later soften, narrow, or recalibrate that framing, even when the threat remains acute? This article develops a theory of strategic desecuritization under asymmetry. We argue that securitizing moves can ge...

Genetic Ablation and Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveal CEP55 as a Key Driver of Tumorigenesis in Diverse Cancer Models

ABSTRACT CEP55, a centrosomal protein frequently overexpressed in multiple cancers, is implicated in regulation of genomic instability and PI3K/AKT pathway activation, yet its role in tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment remains incompletely defined. Here, we develope...
