Epochs of regularity for wild Hölder-continuous solutions of the hypodissipative Navier–Stokes system

Abstract We consider the hypodissipative Navier–Stokes equations on [ 0 , T ] × T d [0,T]\times\mathbb{T}^{d} and seek to construct non-unique, Hölder-continuous solutions with epochs of regularity (smooth almost everywhere outside a small singular set in time), using convex inte...

Comparative metabolomic profiling reveals salinity tolerance mechanisms in a rice introgression line

Abstract Introduction Rice ( Oryza sativa ) is extremely sensitive to salinity, yet the metabolic mechanisms underlying salt tolerance remains incompletely understood. Objective In this study, we performed leaf tissue-specific untargeted metabolomic profiling of the salt-tolerant...

SEISMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHALLOW ( 0- 1 m) SOILS ON THE MOON AND MARS: ICE IN SOILS.

We highlight a payload concept where piezo-sensors are used to characterize the shal-low subsurface (0-1 m) regolith of planetary bodies. Our group’s long-term mission is to design a seismolo-gy instrument as a promising low-cost, low-risk, high-reward payload candidate to permit...

Reproducibility, Replicability, and Research Quality in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract Researchers from all sectors of homogeneous catalysis convened in response to concerns regarding reproducibility in science to analyze the issue and provide recommendations. In addition to an in-person workshop, the group engaged the broader homogeneous catalysis communi...

In-silico identification of SNPs associated with breast cancer for disclosing pathogenetic processes and therapeutic candidates

Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of premature death in women. However, researcher’s understanding of BC development, progression and its treatment strategies has not yet reached a satisfactory level. To address these issues, first, it is necessary to accurately identify the...

Evolving Treatment Options for Spinal Pain: Balancing Innovation and Affordability in Regenerative Medicine

Abstract Purpose of Review Regenerative approaches for treating spinal pain hold great clinical promise but have the potential to disrupt healthcare upending the cost paradigm of pharmacologic care or interventional procedures. Regenerative approaches have higher upfront costs bu...

Solar energy landscapes in Nepal: site suitability analysis of solar photovoltaics using a geospatial multi-criteria decision analysis

Abstract Renewable energy deployment is expanding globally owing to rising environmental concerns, rising fuel costs and the need for long-term energy security. However, inadequate evidence-based knowledge and policies to support large-scale renewable energy deployment in develop...

Care Models for the Genetic Evaluation of Dilated Cardiomyopathy at Sites of the DCM Consortium

Abstract Background Clinical genetic evaluation for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is minimally implemented and models of care are not defined. To understand current genetics care for DCM, a systematic needs assessment was conducted. Methods Principal Investigators (P...

Weak-Form Learning for Mean-Field Partial Differential Equations: An Application to Insect Movement

Abstract. Insect populations subject to epidemic infection, predation, and anisotropic environmental conditions may exhibit preferential movement patterns. Given the virtually random nature of the exogenous factors driving these patterns over short timescales, individual insect t...

Evaluating Large Language Models Using Construction Management Certification Exams: Implications for Construction Education and Professional Preparation

Abstract Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by students and professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector for learning and information retrieval. However, their reliability in performing construction management (CM) knowledge tasks...

TESS Observations of Stochastic Low-frequency Variability in Extreme Helium Stars

Abstract Extreme helium stars (EHes) are low-mass hydrogen-deficient stars thought to be the products of double white dwarf mergers. Despite prolonged ground-based observations, there is no consensus on the properties of their photometric variability. In this article, we present...

Dams trigger long-term river-floodplain decoupling in dynamic Andean foreland rivers

Andean foreland rivers are preferential sites for ongoing and planned hydroelectric dam construction in the Amazon Basin. These rivers are characterized by high sediment fluxes that drive rapid rates of channel migration, large river-floodplain sediment exchanges, and creatediver...

Minority Identities in Nigeria: Contesting and Claiming Citizenship in the Twentieth Century

Warri province, the central focus of Oghenetoja Okoh’s Minority Identities in Nigeria: Contesting and Claiming Citizenship in the Twentieth Century, is located in Nigeria’s Western Niger Delta regi...

Circadian temperature compensation is intrinsically linked with metabolism and redox signaling

Abstract Circadian rhythms are a universal property of organisms, and a defining property of these oscillators is the ability to maintain a precise period at different temperatures. Indeed, the discovery in the 1950s of this property, known as “temperature compensation,” was a wa...

Two political imaginaries of AI in Western philosophy

Abstract In AI Mirror , Shannon Vallor argues that we find ourselves in what she calls the techno-moral bootstrapping problem. In short, our ethical and political systems are ill-suited for the new technological worlds we find ourselves in; however, we can only build new or bette...

New species and suborder records reveal unusually high thaliacean (Chordata, Tunicata) diversity in the South China Sea

In the context of global biodiversity decline, the monitoring and assessment of marine biodiversity have gained increasing importance. Thaliacea, a group of filter-feeding gelatinous zooplankton, play crucial roles in the carbon cycle and pelagic food webs, yet their diversity re...

Tibial Bone Shape Is Sport Dependent and More Symmetrical in High-Impact Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: Multidirectional sports introduce unique forces to the tibia that potentially induce more symmetrical distribution of bone mass and lower bone stress injury risk, when compared to unidirectional sports. Purpose: To compare tibial shaft size, shape, and estimated str...

Wavelength Requirements for Life Detection via Reflected Light Spectroscopy of Rocky Exoplanets

Searching for signs of life is a primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). However, merely detecting oxygen, methane, or other widely discussed biosignatures is insufficient evidence for a biosphere. In parallel with biosignature detection, exoplanet life detection...

Polymer Quantum Mechanics on Compact Configuration Spaces

“Polymer quantum mechanics” is the name given to a quantization scheme inspired by loop quantum gravity in which the configuration space of the theory is chosen to have a discrete topology. Polymer quantization yields a representation of the canonical commutation relations that i...

A Survey of Distributed Asynchronous Many-Task Models and Their Applications

Asynchronous many-task (AMT) runtime systems have become an important paradigm for expressing fine-grained parallelism and managing asynchrony in high-performance computing (HPC). Originating from early dataflow concepts, AMTs have evolved to enable dynamic task generation, expli...
