Rotating Weyssenhoff fluids in linearized Einstein-Cartan theory

The Weyssenhoff fluid expands the ordinary perfect-fluid description of general relativity by taking into account the intrinsic spin of its constituent particles. Within the linearized regime of Einstein-Cartan theory, we investigate the exterior geometry produced by isolated slo...

Single-Water Microsolvation Promotes Proton Sharing in a Neutral Formic Acid–Ammonia Complex

Abstract Can single-water microsolvation promote proton sharing in a neutral acid–base complex? We address this question for formic acid–ammonia by isolating its monohydrated complex with broadband rotational spectroscopy and interpreting the resolved 14N hyperfine structure with...

Crossing the Threshold to Emergency Surgery: Robot-Assisted Adrenalectomy for Refractory Pheochromocytoma Crisis

Pheochromocytoma crisis can make conventional adrenergic preparation impossible and force consideration of adrenalectomy before physiologic recovery. This narrative review synthesizes the evidence that informs the transition from continued stabilization to nondeferrable tumor rem...

Cyclin/CDK inhibition in cancer therapy: from small molecules and macrocycles to advanced drug delivery systems

Cyclin-CDK complexes have attracted growing interest as therapeutic targets due to their crucial role in cell cycle regulation and their application in cancer treatment. Moreover, although CDKs were considered downstream effectors of the DNA damage response (DDR), several evidenc...

Optimal Control of Mean-Field Limit of Multiagent Systems with and without Common Noise

Abstract. We consider a generic, suitable class of optimal control problems under a constraint given by a finite-dimensional SDE-ODE system, describing a system of two interacting species of particles: the herd, described by SDEs, and the herders, described by ODEs with the addit...

Non-stabilizerness and violations of CHSH inequalities

We study quantitatively the interplay between entanglement and non-stabilizer resources in violating the CHSH inequalities. We show that, while non-stabilizer resources are necessary, they must have a specific structure, namely they need to be both asymmetric and (surprisingly) l...

The pre-geometric origin of geometric trinity of gravity

Abstract The so-called geometric trinity of gravity is based on three distinct geometric features of spacetime, i.e. curvature, torsion and non-metricity, which give rise to equivalent dynamics for general relativity (GR), teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) and...

Research Study Attrition and Participant-Informed Retention Strategies Among Cancer Survivors

Importance Attrition in longitudinal cancer cohorts compromises data completeness, introduces bias, and limits generalizability. Objective To quantify nonresponsiveness over time in a contemporary cohort of cancer survivors, identify individual- and center-level factors associate...

A Continuous Transferable Core–Valence Geometry Correction

Abstract Core–valence (CV) correlation causes systematic milliangstrom-scale bond contractions in main-group molecules. We develop an analytic radial model for the structural all-electron–frozen-core (AE–FC) correction otherwise obtained from explicit second-order Møller–Plesset...

Dengue virus serotype classification from complete genomes using a Transformer with chunk-based sequence modeling and explainability analysis

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used for genomic surveillance of infectious diseases, but predictive models must be evaluated under realistic generalization settings and interpreted cautiously. We present XAI-DENFormer, an explainability-oriented framework for dengue viru...

Integrating Local and Normal Modes for Multilevel Vibrational Spectroscopy

Abstract We present a multilevel strategy for harmonic vibrational spectroscopy in which a lower cost calculation supplies the complete coupled force field and higher level energy calculations refine selected curvatures. Symmetry-oriented non-redundant internal coordinates retain...

On Some Functionals Involving Torsional Rigidity, Principal Eigenvalue and Perimeter

Abstract In this paper we study some relationships between the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue $$\Lambda (\Omega )$$ Λ ( Ω ) and the torsional rigidity $$T(\Omega )$$ T ( Ω ) of a domain $$\Omega $$ Ω . We consider the problem of optimizing the product $$\Lambda (\Omega )T(\...

Does Gut-Endometrial Immunomodulation Promote Pregnancy in IVF Patients with Recurrent Implantation Failure and Chronic Endometritis Following Escherichia coli Nissle 1917?

Background: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains one of the most challenging conditions in reproductive medicine. Although increasing evidence implicates chronic endometritis (CE) and alterations of the endometrial microbiota in impaired implantation, the potential contri...
