Paler within the city: Carotenoid‐based colouration covaries negatively with the proportion of impervious surface in great tit ( Parus major ) territories across Europe

Urbanisation alters resource availability and exposes wildlife to novel environmental stressors, potentially driving phenotypic divergence. Carotenoid-based plumage colouration is a condition-dependent trait linked to dietary carotenoid acquisition and physiological allocation tr...

The added value of echocardiography in pulmonary arterial hypertension risk assessment an artificial intelligence machine learning–derived analysis of the ULTRA RIGHT VALUE registry

Abstract Aims The right ventricle (RV) is a major determinant of outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but its assessment has not been completely incorporated in the risk of mortality scores. We therefore evaluated the added value of echocardiography of the RV to risk...

Barriers to Research: Insights into the Patchwork of Research Exceptions in European Copyright Laws and Practical Perspectives from European Researchers

About the report Scientific research depends on access to knowledge, data, and cultural resources. Researchers routinely engage with copyright-protected materials when accessing literature, sharing resources, conducting collaborative projects, or applying emerging technologies su...

The Ideological Boundary of Belief Change

ABSTRACT This article investigates the relationship between political ideology and the extent to which individuals revise their beliefs when confronted with counter‐attitudinal information. Across two preregistered experiments conducted with demographically quota‐matched Polish s...

Study of Supernova Neutrinos at ESSnuSB

In this paper, we have studied the sensitivity of the ESSnuSB far detector to supernova neutrinos. ESSnuSB is a proposed long-baseline neutrino experiment in Sweden, which will use a 538 kt water Cherenkov detector to probe the leptonic phase δCP by studying the second oscillatio...

Black boxes in black hole imaging

We investigate the epistemic opacity of computer simulations and machine learning methods in the context of black hole imaging. We argue that there are forms of opacity—including opacity resulting from the use of machine learning—which do not need to affect the reliability of an...

Mathematical model for non-monotone dose response to the PD-L1 blockade in vitro

Abstract Testing of new small molecules for oncotherapy often requires discrimination between the actual, target-specific bioactivity and non-specific toxicity. We present a mathematical model for T-cell reactivation under the action of therapeutic compounds targeting the PD-1/PD...

Grassland diversity of submontane valleys under influence of soil and management types

The vast majority of grassland communities in the submontane areas of the temperate climate zone are the result of centuries of human activity and develop under the influence of habitat conditions. Identifying the main factors responsible for their diversity is crucial for their...

Defect-Engineered Tetragonal ZrO2 Nanoparticles for Biomaterial Interfaces: Green Synthesis, Biointerfacial Interactions, and SERS Biosensing

Abstract Zirconia (ZrO2) is a widely used biomaterial in dental and orthopedic applications due to its excellent biocompatibility, chemical stability, and mechanical properties. However, the role of defect structure and phase composition in governing biomolecule–surface interacti...

Short-Term Cadmium and Lead Exposure in Common Buckwheat: Metal Accumulation, Physiological Responses, and Compositional Changes

Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) contamination may alter common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench cv. ‘Korona’) physiology and composition. The objective was to determine whether common buckwheat maintains physiological performance under controlled Cd and Pb exposure while assessi...

Oveporexton for Narcolepsy Type 1 — Results from Two Phase 3 Trials

BACKGROUND: Narcolepsy type 1 is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, disrupted sleep, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations. Oveporexton (TAK-861), an oral orexin receptor 2-selective agonist, reduced symptoms of narcolepsy type 1 in...

Medical Image Texture: Biological Phenotype or Technical Fingerprint? From Early Texture Analysis to Radiomics and Clinical Decision-Making

Gotowe do wklejenia w pole Description. Edytor Zenodo obsługuje formatowanie, więc pogrubienia i akapity przeniosą się poprawnie. Preprint of a narrative review. Medical images have long been interpreted using qualitative descriptors of spatial organization such as homogeneity, h...

Residual Risk-Based Resilience Assessment of Ukrainian Oil and Gas Companies: Scenario-Based Pathways for Sustainable Development

Oil and gas companies operating under energy transition and wartime pressures require transparent tools for linking risk diagnosis to feasible sustainable development decisions. This study develops a residual risk-based diagnostic framework and applies it to three major Ukrainian...

Law Equivalence for Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Dynamics Driven by Lévy Noise

For stochastic partial differential equations driven by Lévy noise, understanding when changes in the drift operator preserve the law of the solution is fundamental to filtering, control, and simulation. We extend law-comparison results for Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes from bound...

Home-based simeox therapy and respiratory symptoms in Non-CF bronchiectasis: a randomized pilot study

Abstract Airway clearance is a cornerstone of management in non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB), a chronic condition characterized by airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and impaired mucociliary clearance, leading to recurrent infections and progressive lung function...

Sex-Based Differences in Anthropometric Profiles and Physiological Responses to High-Intensity Strength–Endurance Exercise in Paramedic Students: A Cross-Sectional Study

Objectives: This study evaluated sex differences in physical activity levels, anthropometric parameters, strength–endurance performance, and acute physiological responses to high-intensity strength–endurance exercise in emergency medical services students. Methods: Participants i...

Ternary Liquid-Crystalline Mixture Showing Broad Antiferroelectric Smectic CA* and Glassy Hexatic Smectic XA* Phases

Abstract A ternary liquid crystalline mixture was designed to obtain a tilted hexatic smectic phase in the glassy state. Structural, electro-optic, and dielectric properties of the mixture are investigated, and selected measurements are also performed for its pure components. In...

Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation During Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Risk Dependencies and Long-Term Survival

Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common finding among patients with mitral valve disease, with a growing body of evidence showing survival benefits associated with surgical ablation (SA). However, a lack of data persists regarding the safety and survival after SA concomit...

Urinary creatinine in very low gestational age neonates: importance for interpretation of creatinine-normalized urinary amino acids

OBJECTIVES: Urinary creatinine concentration is widely used to normalize urinary analytes. However, its reliability in preterm neonates remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate urinary creatinine concentrations in very low gestational age (VLGA) neonates and assess its imp...
