Free-Monodromic Mixed Tilting Sheaves on Flag Varieties

In this paper we propose a construction of a monoidal category of “free-monodromic” tilting perverse sheaves on (Kac–Moody) flag varieties in the setting of the “mixed modular derived category” introduced by the first and third authors. This category shares most of the properties...

Lignin-Grafted-Poly(lactic- co -glycolic) Acid Nanoparticles as a Delivery System for CuS-C18 Nanoparticles Translocation inSoybean ( Glycine max ) and Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa )

Abstract Translocation of lignin-grafted poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (LNPs) and CuS-C18-loaded LNPs was investigated in hydroponically grown soybean (Glycine max) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Fluorescent polymer characterization using NMR and FTIR spectros...

Proteomics insight into phosphate limitation response in Burkholderia phytopathogens

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation is a pervasive environmental constraint that shapes microbial behaviour in soil and plant-associated niches. To determine how Pi scarcity influences the pathogenic potential of rice-infecting Burkholderia species, we performed comparative prote...

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run

Abstract LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable production of high quality detector data and rapid noise mitigation efforts allow the extr...

e MolFrag 2 and e Synth 2: Sound Fragment-Based Molecular Decomposition and Reconstruction

Abstract We present eMolFrag2 and eSynth2, enhanced successors to eMolFrag and eSynth for fragment-based molecular decomposition and reconstruction. eMolFrag2 is a complete reimplementation of eMolFrag in Python, using RDKit and graph-based molecular representations to preserve c...

Evaluating Smart Home Device Users’ Responses to their (Un)Confirmed Privacy Expectations

Users of smart home devices are often unaware of how their devices handle personal data. We examine how revealing these data practices influences users’ trust, satisfaction, and coping behaviors, including decisions to block device communications. Using Expectation-Confirmation T...

The collaborative economy from a service-dominant logic lens: a conceptual typology

Purpose Despite the rise of collaborative, peer-based exchanges that have reshaped service provision, there remains a need for research that (1) accounts for the complexity of collaborative service systems, (2) explicates submarkets and exchange behaviors, (3) addresses theoretic...

Unavoidable Minors of Matroids with Minimum Cocircuit Size Four

In 1963, Halin and Jung proved that every simple graph with minimum degree at least four has $K_5$ or $K_{2,2,2}$ as a minor. Mills and Turner proved an analog of this theorem by showing that every $3$-connected binary matroid in which every cocircuit has size at least four has $...

Feasibility of Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality–Brief Intervention in an Emergency Department With Youth Who Are Suicidal

BACKGROUND: Emergency departments (EDs) are key entry points for many youth experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors into mental health care. ED clinicians play a critical role in crisis intervention, prevention, and linking patients to ongoing care, yet many report uncertain...

Stresses in Above‐Ground Storage Tanks Subjected to Flood‐Borne Debris Impact

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to investigate the structural response of above‐ground storage tanks (ASTs) subjected to flood‐borne debris impact, a critical yet understudied aspect of flood‐induced loading. While past research has extensively examined AST performance un...

Multilevel Meta-analyses of Emotional Processing Deficits Associated with Callous-Unemotional (CU) Traits: Do They Differ by Age and Sex?

Abstract Callous-unemotional (CU) traits, defined by deficient empathy and remorse, characterize a distinct subgroup of antisocial individuals with more severe behavioral problems and unique affective profiles. Two processes implicated in the development of CU traits are hyporeac...

Determining Optimal Economic Ordering Policies of Purchasing Garment Products for International Buying Warehouses

Background: Optimal ordering in purchasing garment products for international buying houses has become increasingly complex, particularly when companies manage a variety of products across geographically dispersed national and international locations. Existing studies focus on no...

Durability Analysis of Bridge Foundations over Service Time under Sand-Laden Flow Abrasion Using an SPH Model

Abstract Concrete has been widely adopted as the primary material for bridge foundations. Although it has good performance against corrosion, abrasion damage has become a common threat to bridges exposed to sediment-laden flow. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach c...

Diameters and Temperatures VII: High-angular resolution measurements of Solar-type stars with the CHARA Array

We present interferometric measurements of angular diameters for 27 nearby solar-type stars obtained with the Precision Astronomical Visible Observations (PAVO) beam combiner at the CHARA Array. The sample spans a broad range of metallicities, includes several known exoplanet hos...

Locking Down Science Gateways with Landlock and Seccomp

Abstract The most recent Linux kernels have a new feature for securing applications: Landlock. Like Seccomp before it, Landlock makes it possible for a running process to selectively relinquish access to certain system resources including network and filesystem access. Rather tha...

New insights into the epidemiology of frogeye leaf spot of soybean ( Glycine max L.)

, is an important foliar disease of soybean in the United States, yet quantitative information describing FLS epidemic dynamics during soybean reproductive stages remains limited. This study characterized the temporal FLS progress under natural field conditions and evaluated dise...

Inhibition of RNA-m6A Methylation in Breast Cancer Cells Carrying TP53 R273H Mutant Reactivates Natural Killer Cells for Anticancer Immunity

Oncogenic p53 mutant proteins not only promote cancer cell proliferation but also evade immune destruction for tumor progression. Besides hijacking immune checkpoints, p53 mutants in cancer cells may deactivate anticancer immune cells for evasion. Herein, we report that p53 R273H...

PS1-27. Effects of Dried Distillers Grains and Whole Cottonseed Supplementation on Growth, Rumen Fermentation, and Immune–inflammatory Responses of Brangus Steers.

Abstract This experiment evaluated the effects of dried distillers grains (DDG) and whole cottonseed (WCS) supplementation on growth, rumen fermentation, and immune–inflammatory responses of Brangus steers during preconditioning. Seventy-two steers (267 ± 31.3 kg BW) were assigne...

Field sampling guidelines for sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) research in lacustrine and coastal systems: from field collection to laboratory subsampling

Abstract Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) has emerged as a powerful proxy for reconstructing past biodiversity and environmental change in lacustrine and coastal systems, yet standardized field guidance remains limited, particularly for researchers working in tropical and coasta...

Detection and identification of small-molecule Δ9-tetrahydrocanabinol pyrolysis products part 1: C3 – C10 compounds

Abstract Background Cannabis is the most widely used psychoactive plant product in the world. As smoking is the most common route of Cannabis consumption, it is of interest to know what products are formed from the pyrolysis of its psychoactive constituent, Δ 9 -THC, at the tempe...
