Dynamic facial movements shape how confident speakers appear

Human communication is inherently multimodal, relying on signals conveyed through speech, vocal tone and facial movements. While gestures and vocal cues are known to influence how speech is understood, the role of facial movements remains poorly specified. Here, we test whether d...

Integrating Drug Physicochemistry and Hfq-Dependent Regulation of Ciprofloxacin Accumulation in Escherichia coli

Ciprofloxacin (CIP), an amphoteric fluoroquinolone, undergoes pH-dependent changes in protonation state that influence membrane permeability and intracellular accumulation. Here, we investigated how drug physicochemistry and bacterial regulatory pathways jointly determine CIP acc...

Does the Inclusion of Foreign‐Based Players Influence the Performance of National Teams at AFCON Tournaments?

ABSTRACT Team composition in sports rarely considers the significant mix of players in a national team's tournament performance. This study theorises that the mere inclusion of foreign‐based nationals is not enough to guarantee team success, especially in the African Cup of Natio...

Laser‐Generated CuPdAgPtAu High‐Entropy Alloy Nanoparticles—Thermal Segregation Threshold and Elemental Segregation

ABSTRACT In this study, noble metal HEA NPs (CuPdAgPtAu) are produced from equimolar and Cu‐ or Ag‐enriched bulk targets via laser ablation in liquids, with structural and compositional analyses by advanced electron microscopy and XRD, complemented by atomistic simulations. Equim...

Climatology and trends of extreme precipitation in France: evaluation of an explicit-convection regional climate model

Climate change is intensifying the global water cycle, with extreme precipitation events increasing in frequency and intensity at the global scale. While trends in daily precipitation extremes are well-documented, sub-daily extremes – critical for flash flood risk – remain poorly...

Ground beetles in agroforestry system show functional traits and activity-density differences according to distance to trees

Alley-cropping systems are arable agroforestry systems in which tree rows and associated grassy strips are established within cropped fields. This constitutes a promising approach to promote biodiversity and associated services in the vicinity of crops. However, there is still li...

Elastoplastic analysis of tunnels in Hoek–Brown rock masses exhibiting strain softening

This paper proposes an adaptive ring-by-ring semi-analytical framework for elastoplastic analysis of circular tunnels in strain-softening Hoek–Brown rock under hydrostatic in-situ stress. The excavation unloading process is discretized via equal radial stress increments, with the...
