Dynamic Learning for Joint Pricing, Advertising, and Inventory Management

Problem Definition: Startup firms, often small in size, face the challenge of making cross-functional decisions due to the absence of distinct departments like marketing and operations. These interdependent decisions are further complicated by the lack of historical customer data...

ReMeDy : A Flexible Statistical Framework for Region‐Based Detection of DNA Methylation Dysregulation

Region-based epigenome-wide association studies have demonstrated improved statistical power and biological interpretability compared with probe-wise analyses of DNA methylation data. However, most existing region-based methods characterize methylation dysregulation primarily thr...

Health, Legal and Security Costs Associated with Improved Safety from Family Violence During Family Court Involvement

Abstract Purpose Parent separation involving litigation and concurrent family violence (FV) risks is costly on many fronts. Costs borne by society toward improved safety from FV are essential and associated public policy should be well targeted. This study examined legal, safety,...

Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia

Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle...

Familial Co‐Aggregation of Neurodevelopmental Conditions and Childhood‐Onset Type 1 Diabetes

ABSTRACT Aim Childhood‐onset Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs). We examined whether this association extends to relatives and assessed phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations between T1D and NDCs. Methods Using Swedish regis...

Picard groups of quotient ring spectra

Abstract We develop tools to study Picard groups of quotients of ring spectra by a finitely generated ideal, which we use to show that , where is a Lubin–Tate theory and is an ideal generated by suitable powers of a regular sequence. We apply this to obtain spectral sequences com...

Gendered cultural discourse in Japan across the prewar–postwar transition: evidence from historical word embeddings

Abstract We quantify the evolution of gender stereotypes in Japan from 1900 to 1998, covering the prewar–postwar transition, using a series of yearly word embeddings trained on historical text corpora. We define the gender stereotype value to measure the strength of a word’s gend...

Developmental Pathways to Adult Mental Health in Adolescent Parents: Childhood and Early Adolescent Antecedents

This study examined three questions: (a) What are the childhood predictors of becoming a teenage parent (versus a first-time parent as a young adult)? (b) Does becoming a parent in the teen years carry higher risk of young-adult internalizing and externalizing problems than becom...

Enteric pathogens in soil adjacent to public waste bins in Maputo, Mozambique offers potential for environmental surveillance

Abstract Wastewater surveillance has been widely adopted since the COVID-19 pandemic, but non-sewered or onsite sanitation is a common form of sanitation in cities of low- and middle-income countries. Environmental surveillance in these settings requires expanding analyses beyond...

Nanoparticle ConversionChemistry: A Synthetic Frameworkfor Multielemental Nanostructures

Abstract The synthesis of multielemental nanoparticles with size- and shape-control has been studied over the last several decades due to their diverse applications in catalysis, plasmonics, solar cells, electronics, and even as theranostics. While solution-phase methods afford r...

Microbial inoculants for soil restoration: A Risk-Proportional Stewardship Framework Integrating Strain-Resolved Genomics and Adaptive Governance

Abstract Global soil degradation and increasing reliance on chemical inputs threaten agricultural sustainability, driving interest in microbial inoculants as tools for soil restoration. These biological products have the potential to enhance nutrient cycling, improve soil structu...

Individual behavior and physiology of group housed mice in a spaceflight habitat

NASA has a robust history of biomedical investigations using rodent models in spaceflight. The results from these experiments have provided significant insights into the effects of spaceflight on mammalian physiological systems for fundamental, biomedical and commercial research...

Does Renewable Energy Renew Energy Efficiency?

Since 2015, global progress in improving energy efficiency has lagged behind the targets set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in part due to behavioral barriers to such improvement. Rising renewable energy adoption may impact energy efficiency improvement by r...

Sensory stimulation triggers different spike responses in serotonin and dopamine neurons in the dorsal midbrain tegmentum

Abstract The dorsal midbrain tegmentum, including the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG), contains diverse neuronal populations. Within this region, serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) neurons are the principal monoaminergic cell types and...

Constitutive, endogenous, fluorescent membrane reporters for dynamic cell cycle analysis in Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT Bacteria increase in biomass and divide, but determining precisely when cell division completes is technically challenging. To aid time-lapse imaging and cell-cycle tracking, we set out to identify a protein in Bacillus subtilis that, when fused with a fluorophore, would...

Synthesisand Magnetism of Silver Chromium SelenideSpinels

Abstract Chalcogenide spinels exhibit electronic and magnetic properties that are tunable through lattice occupancy and composition. Here, we report the first synthesis of spinel-phase Ag2Cr2Se4 and AgCr2Se4 and demonstrate an oxidation-induced ferro-to-ferrimagnetic transition a...

Pediatric Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice Part I: Voice Stimuli for Children

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test standardized stimuli for the Pediatric Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice protocol. The use of these stimuli for cepstral/spectral voice measures was also considered. Method: Three sets of standardized sentences and...

Tracking the baryon number with nuclear collisions

Baryon quantum number is found to be conserved since baryogenesis in the early Universe. Conventionally, each fractionally charged valence quark is understood to carry one-third of a baryon number. An alternative hypothesis posits that baryon number is instead carried by a baryon...

Is #Woke a Lifestyle? Examining “Woke Culture” in Three Magazines, 2015–2020

The African American Language word “woke,” which means being awake to social injustices, is an important part of the discourse surrounding the evolving Movement for Black Lives. While the concept has a long history in the Black freedom struggle, its recent uses have been politici...

Why Even the Most Anti-Woke, Late-Stage Capitalists Should Care About Sense of Belonging

In this commentary, I trace the evolution of “sense of belonging” from a foundational psychological construct to a widely studied element of student experience in higher education, particularly for marginalized groups. I also differentiate between the idea of belonging as a psych...
