On the Feasibility of Deduplicating Compiler Bugs with Bisection

Random testing has proven to be an effective technique for compiler validation. However, the debugging of bugs identified through random testing presents a significant challenge due to the frequent occurrence of duplicate test programs that expose identical compiler bugs. The pro...

Can FinTech innovate Green Finance? Scrutinising the Platform Ecologies of FinTech for Forest Restoration

Green finance has struggled to make a difference in climate change mitigation.For some, the main limitations lie in scaling and diversifying financial flows and instruments to close the climate funding gap, while for others, green finance is fundamentally flawed as an incumbent-l...

Sifting the Noise: A Comparative Study of LLM Agents in Vulnerability False Positive Filtering

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools are essential for identifying software vulnerabilities, but they often produce a high volume of False Positives (FPs), imposing a substantial manual triage burden on developers. Recent advances in Large Language Model (LLM) agents...

Quantifying the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 vaccination: evidence from Victoria, Australia

Vaccines not only directly protect vaccinated individuals but also contribute to protecting the entire population via indirect herd-immunity benefits. However, researchers have long struggled to quantify these indirect effects at the population level, hindering the assessment of...

Incidence and Predictors of Complications After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation According to VARC‐3 Criteria: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND: Despite continuous advancements in devices and techniques, transcatheter aortic valve implantation remains associated with complications impacting outcomes. In 2021, the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) introduced the VARC-3 criteria to better classify proced...

Corticosteroid use in children with community acquired sepsis: a multicentre prospective cohort study

Objectives Corticosteroids in paediatric sepsis have the potential to improve outcomes, yet there is little supporting evidence regarding efficacy, choice of agents, dose or timing of administration. We describe the patterns of corticosteroid use in children hospitalised with sus...

Reassessing the Role of the Antarctic Slope Current in Poleward Ocean Heat Transport

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is often considered a barrier to the poleward transport of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), yet its vast extent has hindered circumpolar analysis of this relationship. Here, we use a high‐resolution global ocean‐sea ice model that resolves...

The feasibility of a tailored follow-up service for people living with stroke via a registry-based randomised controlled trial (A-LISTS)

After stroke, people report ongoing health challenges to national registries without any follow-up. We aimed to assess the feasibility of a co-designed, registry-initiated, follow-up service provided by hospitals and tailored for people reporting health-related challenges between...

Reducing Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Use in Adult Acute Care: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are the most frequently inserted invasive device in acute care, yet up to 52% remain unused, exposing patients to avoidable risks and increasing healthcare costs. Despite growing awareness of inappropriate PIVC use, unnecessary in...

Cross-dataset transcriptomic analysis identifies oxidative Stress–inflammation gene networks modulated by nutrigenomic interventions in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) are key to Parkinson’s disease (PD). We performed a cross-dataset integrative transcriptomic analysis to identify OS- and inflammation-related hub genes consistently dysregulated in PD and to explore gene–compound relationships usin...

Integrated cross-sectoral surveillance of antimicrobial resistance genotypes and phenotypes across disparate reservoirs

Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria and genes are continually exchanged among humans, animals, and environmental reservoirs. Disparate and siloed surveillance methods present a major challenge for tracing and disrupting AMR transmission, with clinical monitoring focusing on de...

The Complex Interplay of Duration of Residence and Region of Birth on Perinatal Outcomes Among Migrant Women in Australia: A Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Background Although migrants are recognised as heterogeneous, research often emphasises origin over receiving‐context experiences. Objectives We investigated maternal risk factors and perinatal outcomes by duration of residence in Australia, stratified by region of birth...

A Review on Current Challenges and Knowledge Gaps in Artificial Stone Silicosis

BACKGROUND: The global emergence of artificial stone (AS) silicosis represents a critical occupational health challenge. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the clinical, functional, radiological, and occupational characteristics of patients affected by...

Seizure control and foetal malformation in primiparous women with Epilepsy: statistical analysis of data from a prospective observational study

Purpose To evaluate seizure control and foetal malformation in the first pregnancy of women with epilepsy through the analysis of the Australian Pregnancy Register database focusing of women with epilepsy intending or beginning their first pregnancy. This was achieved through a s...

Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Machine Learning Uncovers Distinct Progression Patterns in Friedreich Ataxia

Abstract Background Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with heterogenous clinical progression, complicating prognosis and trial design. Neuroimaging offers objective biomarkers of disease progression, yet variability in progression patterns remains poor...

Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Axis and Survival in Metastatic Hormone‐Sensitive Prostate Cancer: Post‐Hoc Analysis From the ENZAMET Phase 3 Trial

ABSTRACT Background A higher ratio of IGF‐1:IGF binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) was associated with improved prognosis in the CHAARTED trial of docetaxel in participants with metastatic hormone‐sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The ENZAMET trial demonstrated the survival benefit of a...

Maximal sets of mutually orthogonal frequency squares and Doehlert-Klee designs

Abstract A binary frequency square of type $$(n;\lambda _0,\lambda _1)$$ ( n ; λ 0 , λ 1 ) is a (0, 1)-matrix of order n with $$\lambda _0$$ λ 0 zeros and $$\lambda _1$$ λ 1 ones in each row and in each column. Two such squares are orthogonal if there are exactly $$\lambda _1^2$$...

The Tropological Vertex

Abstract The theory of the topological vertex was originally proposed by Aganagic, Klemm, Mariño and Vafa as a means to calculate open Gromov–Witten invariants of toric Calabi–Yau threefolds. In this paper, we place the topological vertex within the context of relative Gromov–Wit...

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) Fast Analysis and Spectroscopy of Transients (FAST) Surveys

Abstract The study of young and fast astronomical transients is often limited by the difficulty of acquiring data, particularly spectra, within hours to days of explosion. Historically, follow-up programmes have rarely obtained spectra until many days after discovery; coupled wit...
