A Bayesian refinement method incorporating geometric prior and LLM-guided hyperprior for measurement-grade overhang analysis in X-ray electrode inspection

Accurate electrode instance identification from X-ray images is essential for reliable overhang analysis in lithium-ion battery electrode inspection. However, industrial X-ray radiographs often exhibit blurred edges, contrast attenuation, and structural occlusions caused by layer...

A Dynamic Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework With Giant OFF–ON Birefringence

ABSTRACT Birefringence, the optical property enabling materials to split light based on polarization and propagation direction, is crucial for many technological fields, spanning from telecommunications to imaging and photonics. Particularly, controlling the birefringence is vita...

Heavy-tail-aware representation learning and dynamic Bayesian state modelling to derive an operational proxy definition of problem gambling risk from routine online gambling data

Abstract Background: Problem gambling causes harm, but operational identification often relies on heuristic thresholds or sparse manual reviews. Routine online gambling logs are heavy-tailed and temporally structured, complicating risk definition and early detection. Methods: We...

Truly mobile sub-terahertz communications beyond 6G via just-in-time IMU-assisted beam management

Abstract Sub-Terahertz (sub-THz) communication is a candidate for beyond-sixth-generation (beyond 6G) networks, promising Terabit-per-second rates at microsecond latencies. However, the highly directional beams required to overcome severe path loss make beam alignment under mobil...

The fitness landscape of a form II rubisco in a photosynthetic bacterium guides engineering of oxygen tolerance

Abstract Rubisco is an important but challenging protein engineering target. Fast and selective rubiscos could enhance photosynthesis in plants and accelerate biobased production processes. To facilitate engineering of rubisco, we applied an in vivo screen that couples rubisco ac...

Noncollinear kagome magnet driven by giant antisymmetric exchange

Kagome lattices host exotic phenomena such as quantum spin liquids, topological Weyl nodes, and flat bands. The kagome ferromagnet Co3Sn2S2 has been a focus of debate due to conflicting reports on its magnetic character. Here, using weakly perturbative probes—primarily neutron sc...

Unveiling the Productivity Potential of Vertical Farming Through Diverse Crop Cultivation: An Empirical Analysis

While vertical farming may offer high productivity per unit land area and has received increasing attention for urban food production, research has primarily focused on leafy greens and herbs. Although recent studies have also introduced fruiting vegetables and cereal crops, comp...

Private Equity Ownership and Firm Performance: A Framework for Interpreting the Evidence

We review the evidence on the impact of private equity (PE) ownership on firms, stakeholders, and the economy. We organize this literature using a framework that emphasizes the costs and benefits of PE as an ownership form and implies five main predictions: (i) only some firms ar...

Genomic characterization of ER-positive primary tumors and corresponding relapses identifies potentially targetable alterations

The majority of breast cancer patients have tumors expressing estrogen receptor α (ER) and receive endocrine therapy. However, around one-third relapse in their disease, predominantly with retained ER expression. Molecular alterations are proposed to be contributors to the resist...

Hydro‐ and Lipophilicity of Molecular‐Size‐Controlled Hydrogel Drug Carriers

ABSTRACT Nano‐sized hydrogel drug carriers with tailored hydro‐ and lipophilicity are designed and their encapsulation and structure‐forming capabilities investigated in real‐time. These nano‐carriers are built from cellulose and peptide hydrogels in tandem with a nano‐stacked in...

The complexity of disciplinary literacy and identity in STEM: A case study of student language use in project-based learning

Disciplinary literacy has gained more recognition in STEM education as understanding subject is inextricably linked to mastering specialised ways of communicating science to different audiences. In project-based learning (PBL), STEM students must apply such literacies across mult...

Physics‐Guided Monte Carlo Surrogate Modeling for Optical Properties Inference and Spectral Prediction From Limited Experimental Data

ABSTRACT We present a physics‐guided neural framework that combines Monte Carlo simulations with experimental measurements to characterize optical properties and predict spectral responses at unseen conditions. The hybrid model jointly learns from simulations with complete optica...

Digital interaction and power dynamics: A netnographic study in three Facebook groups

This netnographic study analyzes three Facebook groups (Rivals, Stakeholders, Guardians) to examine how social practices affect engagement, role enactment, and power dynamics. Grounded in sociocultural theory and Goffman’s dramaturgical framework, the study addresses three questi...

Reflecting Poisson walks and dynamical universality in p-adic random matrix theory

We prove dynamical local limits for the singular numbers of p-adic random matrix products at both the bulk and edge. The limit object which we construct, the reflecting Poisson sea, may thus be viewed as a p-adic analogue of line ensembles appearing in classical random matrix the...

DynamicBUS: restoring temporal dynamics from static ultrasound for improved breast cancer diagnosis

Abstract The clinical practice of archiving static 2D images from dynamic breast ultrasound (BUS) examinations leads to a critical loss of temporal information, vital for accurate lesion diagnosis. This data limitation constrains the performance of conventional computer-aided dia...

Multiband condensate of magnons in two dimensions

Wavelike bosonic particles can accumulate in a single mode characterized by a particular wavelength, and such condensates are at the heart of phenomena such as superconductivity and superfluidity where usually a single complex number describes their state. If there are several fl...

Asymptotic expansion of smooth functions in deterministic and iid Haar unitary matrices, and application to tensor products of matrices

Let UN be a family of N×N independent Haar unitary random matrices and their adjoints, ZN a family of deterministic matrices, and P a self-adjoint noncommutative polynomial, that is, for any N, P(UN,ZN) is self-adjoint, f a smooth function. We prove that for any k, if f is smooth...

Plasma proteome reflects tissue damage and clinical manifestations in patients with inflammatory myopathies

OBJECTIVE: Tissue-specific biomarkers that are reliable and associated with clinical manifestations of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) are lacking. The blood circulation in individuals serves as a central conduit, allowing communication between tissues and facilitating cle...

Carbon substrate type shapes spatial self-organization in a multi-species biofilm community

Abstract Spatial organization is a defining feature of multispecies biofilms and critically influences microbial interactions and emergent community properties. However, understanding and manipulating how microbes assemble into spatially structured biofilms remains challenging be...
