Current dynamics, drivers, and vertical thermal structure around Sir Bu Nair Island (Arabian/Persian Gulf)

Abstract. Sir Bu Nair Island (SBN) in the central Arabian Gulf is one of the last locations in the UAE’s Gulf waters to retain extensive and well developed coral reefs, whereas many nearshore environments have experienced severe degradation following recurrent marine heatwaves. A...

Ice-ray pentagonal packing of pseudo-fivefold helices

While fivefold point symmetry is common in nature, fivefold spatial symmetry is seldom observed. Regular pentagons cannot tile a plane without leaving voids, and even the densest “ice-ray” packing is exceptionally rare. Fivefold helices are equally elusive. We report a small mole...

Surface-Engineered Polythiosemicarbazide Membranes via Chelation-Controlled Silver Nanoparticle Growth for Antibacterial and Underwater Oleophobic Performance

Abstract Biofouling continues to limit the performance of ultrafiltration membranes for oil–water separation, creating demand for materials that combine high flux, strong selectivity, and built-in antimicrobial activity. Here, we report a chelating polythiosemicarbazide (PTSC) ul...

Random analog prediction provides a benchmark for seasonal Arctic sea ice extent forecasting

Abstract We develop a random analog predictor (RAP) algorithm for the forecasting of Arctic sea ice extent (SIE) on seasonal timescales. This is a stochastic variant for scalar time series of the method of the analogues that only uses the historical SIE record to produce ensemble...

Trigonometrical Juridism in British India: Unificatory Images and Jurisdictional Rationality

Abstract This article engages with two aspects of how cartography enabled law and jurisdictional ordering in a specific historical context. First, by interrogating the ways in which the great trigonometrical surveys of the British colonial enterprise and the Atlas of India entren...

Spatial extension of parafoveal processing predicts reading speed gain during reading acceleration

Fast and efficient reading involves not only processing the currently fixated word but also simultaneous processing of the upcoming text. Although the role of extrafoveal processing in natural reading has been extensively documented, its contribution to reading acceleration benef...

Investigating the Overburden Correction Factor (Kσ) in silty sand using centrifuge modeling

This study involves a comprehensive series of four centrifuge experiments, designed to closely simulate a 5-m-thick layer of silty sand subjected to a range of drainage conditions—both single and double—and exposed to effective overburden pressures of approximately 100 and 600 kP...

Population genomics unravel structural variation of venom-encoding genes across the desert viper genus Cerastes

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic differentiation is central to evolutionary biology. Yet most traits are shaped by complex, polygenic architectures, making links between genomic change and phenotype difficult to resolve. Venom provides an advantageous...

Stability Analysis of Nonseparable Mean-Field Games for Pedestrian Flow in Large Corridors

Abstract. We investigate the existence and stability of small perturbations of constant states of the generalized Hughes (GH) model for pedestrian flow in an infinitely large corridor. We show that constant flows are stable under a condition on the density. Our findings indicate...

Distinct depressive-like behavioural phenotypes in mice exhibit unique patterns of transcriptional perturbations across habenular cell subtypes

Abstract Major depressive disorder arises from diverse neurobiological mechanisms, yet how specific habenular cell types contribute to distinct depressive-like behaviours remains unclear. Using chronic social defeat stress, behavioural phenotyping, and single-cell RNA sequencing,...

Integrating R&D space projects into aerospace engineering master's education at MCAST

Purpose This research study evaluates the efficacy of research-based learning (RBL) in bridging the persistent epistemological and practical gap between theoretical vocational education and industrial research and development (R&D) within the Level 7 aerospace curriculum at the M...

Mapping Women-Only Health Research in Taiwan: A Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends, Collaboration, and Thematic Clusters (2015–2025)

Background: Research on women’s health is essential for addressing sex-specific healthcare needs and informing evidence-based policy. However, women-only health research in Taiwan has not been systematically examined. Methods: We conducted a Scopus-based bibliometric analysis of...

Who gets seen in the age of AI? Adoption patterns of large language models in scholarly writing and citation outcomes

The rapid diffusion of generative AI tools is reshaping how scholars produce and communicate knowledge, raising questions about who benefits and who is left behind. We analyze over 230,000 Scopus-indexed computer science articles (2021–2025) to describe how stylistic markers of A...

Realization of unconventional staircase topological Anderson phase transitions

Topological Anderson insulators provide a paradigm for disorder-induced topology, in which the underlying system turns from a trivial to a topological phase. It is widely recognized that the latter disappears at large disorder amplitude. Here, and contrary to the general belief,...

GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow

Abstract We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (z = 0.153), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt γ-ray emission and a Comptonized spectrum. The burst occurred at the edge of a blue host ga...

Unified framework for efficiently computable quantum circuits

Quantum circuits consisting of Clifford and matchgates are two classes of circuits that are known to be efficiently simulatable on a classical computer. We introduce a unified framework that shows in a transparent way the special structure that allows these circuits to be efficie...

Numerical Assessment of Linear and Nonlinear Models for Compressible Flows

This paper presents a numerical comparison between linearized and nonlinear models for compressible fluid flow in several configurations: a Cauchy-type setting, a half-space model with prescribed free-surface velocity, a bounded-domain model, and a pressure-dependent compressibil...
