Emission reduction potential of freeway stop-and-go wave smoothing

The real-world potential of stop-and-go wave smoothing at scale remains largely unquantified. Smoothing freeway waves requires opening a gap large enough for them to dissipate, but that gap is often impractically large. We propose a counterfactual wave-smoothing benchmark that re...

Modeling climate adaptive habitat connectivity for conservation planning in Colombia

To remain effective under global change, conservation decisions must anticipate shifting climates, species responses to climate change and the dispersal pathways needed to track suitable climate. Yet most assessments of ecological connectivity do not consider how the landscape wi...

Unimodality for Radon Partitions of Random Vectors

Abstract Consider the (almost surely) unique Radon partition of a set of n random Gaussian vectors in $$\mathbb {R}^{n-2}$$ R n - 2 ; choose one of the two parts of this partition uniformly at random, and for $$0 \le k \le n$$ 0 ≤ k ≤ n , let $$ p_k $$ p k denote the probability...

Metabolomic signatures of the steroid biosynthesis driving sex differences in clinical asthma subtypes

Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with well-documented sex differences in prevalence. However, the sex-specific and pubertal effects of inhaled corticosteroids on endogenous steroid metabolites and their relationship with asthma-related clinical outcomes remain poorly...

Scaling the Unsustainable? Technical Architecture, Energy Sustainability, and Scalability Constraints in Multinational AI Data Center Megaprojects

The contemporary expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) rests on a wager that computational scaling laws will keep converting additional compute into additional capability. This dissertation asks whether the physical infrastructure required to sustain that wager is technically...

HIV Testing and Care Among Publicly Insured Enrollees With Schizophrenia: Is There a Benefit to Dual Eligibility?

Background Patients with schizophrenia experience gaps in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care continuum. We examined the impact of dual enrollment in Medicare upon HIV testing and retention among Medicaid‐enrolled patients with schizophrenia. Methods Using Medicaid Analyt...

Abalone genomics reveals an ancient asymmetry axis and the multifunctionality of the mantle

Abstract Gastropod diversification represents one of the most spectacular evolutionary radiations, underpinned by a fundamentally asymmetric body plan and diverse pigmentation patterns. To understand the genetic underpinnings of these cardinal traits, we constructed a chromosome-...

Penetrating dural venous sinus injury: a scoping review of clinical presentation, operative management, and prognosis

Penetrating injury to the dural venous sinuses (DVS) commonly occurs at the superior sagittal sinus (SSS), transverse sinus (TS), and torcular confluence. While rare, DVS penetrating injuries carry high risk of intracranial hemorrhage, air embolism, and venous infarction. The cur...

Faradaic and Non-Faradaic Spectral Induced Polarization Signatures of Copper and Graphite Mixtures: Disseminated Grain Versus Veinlet Mineral Structures

Summary Characterizing electronically conductive minerals with spectral induced polarization (SIP) has been a longstanding goal of mineral exploration. A more comprehensive understanding of how mineral texture (e.g. disseminated grain versus veinlet forms) and mineral type influe...

Intersectional Barriers to Protection: Service Providers’ Perspectives on Supporting Black, Latino, and Immigrant Male Victims of Female-perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence

Abstract Aim This study examined service providers’ perspectives on how race, ethnicity, and immigration status shape help-seeking experiences and institutional responses for Black, Latino, and immigrant male victims of female-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV). Method S...

The Role of Science Course Pathways in Predicting College Enrollment: Insight From A Large Urban School District

ABSTRACT Although high school science course‐taking is highly valued in college admissions, its predictability for college enrollment, a key step in access to many STEM fields, has not been sufficiently investigated in the context of wide variability in science courses and update...

Image-aware mixture of experts automates the detection of ovarian follicle rupture in a high-throughput ex vivo ovulation assay

An AI-based dynamic, image-aware Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework automates ex vivo ovulation detection and offers a highly accurate, scalable solution for studying the biology of ovulation, drug development, and reproductive toxicity testing.

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...

Cell Saver Use is Not Associated With Increased Morbidity But Reflects Transfusion Burden in Pediatric Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. INTRODUCTION: Cell saver (CS) is widely used in spinal fusion to reduce exposure to allogeneic transfusion, which carries risks such as infection and prolonged hospitalization. Pediatric spinal fusion is frequently associated with signifi...

Twisted Intertwining Operators and Tensor Products of (Generalized) Twisted Modules

We study the general twisted intertwining operators (intertwining operators among twisted modules) for a vertex operator algebra $V$. We give the skew-symmetry and contragredient isomorphisms between spaces of twisted intertwining operators and also prove some other properties of...

Robust inference and correlates from genetic associations with personality

Personality traits describe stable differences in how people think, feel and behave, and how they interact with and experience their social and physical environments1,2. Many questions remain unanswered about associations between DNA and personality traits, such as their robustne...

Perinatal Depression and Infant Mortality

Importance Perinatal depression is the most common maternal morbidity, but few US studies have examined whether perinatal depression is associated with infant mortality. Objectives To examine the association between maternal depressive symptoms and infant mortality, assess hetero...

Peskine Sixfolds and Debarre–Voisin Fourfolds With Associated Cubic Fourfolds

ABSTRACT We develop the notion of Peskine sixfolds with associated K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds and work out numerical conditions for when these associations occur. In discriminant 24, the first family for which there is an associated cubic fourfold, we identify the cubic expl...

Geomorphological dynamics at the coast: A sedimentary stratigraphy for Atlit-Yam, the earliest coastal village at the Eastern Mediterranean and its submerged landscape

During the early Holocene, rapid sea level rise led to the inundation of worldwide coastal areas, with the surrounding shallow landscapes being the most affected. The Carmel coast, located in the East Mediterranean, preserves a rich record of such a submerged landscape dotted by...
