An integrative theoretical framework of strategic marketing solutions for resolving social dilemmas

Purpose This study aims to examine how marketing can help resolve firm-level social dilemmas. The authors synthesize insights from sociology, psychology, economics, political science, management and marketing to conceptualize firm-level marketing social dilemmas, organize marketi...

Bigger between-language than within-language Stroop effects in young and older deaf American Sign Language-English bilinguals

OBJECTIVE: The present study investigated Stroop interference effects in young adult and older deaf American Sign Language (ASL) and English bilinguals with ASL and English stimuli. METHOD: Deaf ASL-English bilinguals (n = 108; aged 21-88) signed their responses in two computeriz...

A Low-Cost 1-Bit PIN-Diode Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for the 5G NR n78 Band: Unit-Cell Design, Column-Biased Fabrication, and Anechoic-Chamber Characterization

This paper reports a 10×10 1-bit reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) for the 5G NR n78 band, built for under USD 250 and used as a measurement-validated test vehicle: every as-built non-ideality is carried through the analysis, and every measured quantity is compared with si...

JWST Nebular Spectroscopy of SN 2023qov: Circumstellar Dust Emission in a Normal Type Ia Supernova

Abstract We present panchromatic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023qov, ranging from ∼2 weeks before to ∼1 yr after maximum light. JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra at +276 and +363 days show ∼400 K dust emission that cools by ∼75 K between epochs, the first una...

Not a Collaborator or a Supervisor, but an Assistant: Striking the Balance Between Efficiency and Ownership in AI-incorporated Qualitative Data Analysis

Qualitative research offers deep insights into human experiences, but its processes, such as coding and thematic analysis, are time-intensive and laborious. Recent advancements in qualitative data analysis (QDA) tools have introduced AI capabilities, allowing researchers to handl...

Born into the Algorithm: Global Law, Cognitive Autonomy, and Children’s Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Children born today enter a world in which artificial intelligence systems collect, categorize, and predict from the moment of birth, often before any digital engagement and well before the capacity to consent. Existing legal frameworks address children primarily as platform user...

Brewing coopetition: A guide for helping employees cooperate with competitors

Cooperating with competitors can create mutual value, fuel innovation, and overcome common challenges. But, despite leaders’ confidence in its benefits, coopetition may cause tension for employees working with rivals. This tension can hinder employees from adopting the cooperativ...

Examining Temporal Awareness Through Interpretable Clustering

An accurate mental model of the temporal characteristics of complex task environments, or temporal awareness (TA), presumably underlies human performance when interacting with dynamic systems. Nevertheless, objective methods for characterizing TA from observable behavior remain e...

Sea Level Emulator Intercomparison Project (SLEIP) Phase 1: Assessing emulated multi-century global mean sea level projections

Abstract. Simplified sea level modelling approaches calibrated against reference data, also referred to as sea level emulators, can explore future sea level rise and associated uncertainties with low computational cost. Here, we introduce the Sea Level Emulator Intercomparison Pr...

Network models of cytoskeletal and extracellular matrix mechanics

Network models offer a powerful framework for linking filament-scale properties to cell and tissue mechanobiology. Lattice-based, off-lattice, and active network approaches explain emergent phenomena including nonlinear elasticity, rigidity transitions, and force transmission in...

Tracking Plasmodium falciparum Histidine-rich protein 2/3 gene deletion in RDT-negative samples among febrile children in Nigeria

Background: Nigeria, one of the most malaria-endemic regions globally, relies heavily on rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) targeting Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2/3 (Pfhrp2/3). However, emerging deletions in these genes can lead to false-negative results, undermining...

Observations of Atmospheric Helium and Oxygen With SPHEREx

Abstract We present measurements of near‐infrared (NIR) terrestrial airglow produced by helium and oxygen in the exosphere as observed by the Spectro‐Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and ices Explorer (SPHEREx). Using 8 months of survey data obta...

Development of a PEGylated parylene nanopocket membrane for the capture and release of lipid vesicles

Membranes are commonly used for the separation and purification of a variety of biological species. In this study, we developed a nanopocket membrane that can capture nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles in tangential flow filtration by pulling the species of interest into a...

ProtPen CombinesSequence- and Structure-based Approachesto Facilitate Protein Function Predictions on a Proteome-wide Scale

Abstract Proteins of unknown function represent a significant gap in our understanding of biological processes, encompassing large portions of the proteomes of many organisms, especially prokaryotes. Addressing this gap is critical to understanding the biology and pathogenicity o...

The Role of Meso-level Organizations in Climate Adaptation for Small-Scale Producers in Sub-Saharan Africa-insights from four African Countries

<title>Abstract</title> This analysis examines the meso-level organizations (MLOs) that are core climate change adaptation (CCA) actors responsible for interweaving micro-level rural community needs with macro-level policy and finance intentions, using qualitative data from four...

Instructional Strategies for Postsecondary Science Teaching with Deaf Students with Disabilities: An Autoethnographic Approach

Throughout primary and secondary education in the United States, science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) education has become increasingly important as it promotes critical thinking skills and drives competition in the global economy. While some literature...

AssemblyMate: an interactive context-aware AI-XR co-worker with multimodal spatial-temporal reasoning for manufacturing assembly

In-situ assistance plays a vital role in enhancing operational performance and process reliability in manufacturing. Conventional operator training systems often rely on manual supervision from experienced workers, which can lead to inefficiency, inconsistent guidance, and high l...
