Divergent biological consequences of APOE isoforms across industrialized and non-industrial environments

Abstract The apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) isoform directly alters cholesterol and immune biology and is associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disease in industrialized settings; nevertheless, APOE ε4—which is ancestral in humans—has persisted o...

Hydrodynamics of perfect fluids with anomalies from the fermionic path integral

A bstract The path integral of the Dirac fermion with vector and axial gauge backgrounds is analyzed near the infrared limit in the presence of residual irrelevant current-current interaction. After integrating out fermions, a semiclassical low-energy effective action is obtained...

Cross-platformization: How U.S. right-leaning media curate their posts on Twitter and Truth Social

This study examines how seven right-leaning media organizations utilize cross-platformization strategies to reach audiences across multiple platforms; in this case, Twitter and Truth Social. Focusing on both content volume and story packaging, we collect right-leaning media organ...

Cancer care in Pakistan: a national survey of infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, therapeutic access, and workforce perspectives

Pakistan, a lower-middle-income country of some 241 million people, faces a rising cancer burden — an estimated 185,748 new cancer cases and 118,631 cancer deaths in 2022 — that is served by a heterogeneous and largely uncoordinated mix of public, private for-profit, philanthropi...

Resolving Convective‐Scale Cloud and Precipitation Structures in Tropical Cyclone Rainbands With Novel Raman Lidar Observations

Abstract Low‐level clouds in the tropical cyclone (TC) rainbands modulate the radial inflow of warm, moist boundary layer air, which can impact TC intensity. Yet, precisely measuring rainband cloud boundaries with existing remote sensing techniques remains a challenge. To address...

Reproducibility, Replicability, and Research Quality in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract Researchers from all sectors of homogeneous catalysis convened in response to concerns regarding reproducibility in science to analyze the issue and provide recommendations. In addition to an in-person workshop, the group engaged the broader homogeneous catalysis communi...

Geographic diversity in the OBGYN residency match – longitudinal comparison during virtual interview and signaling cycles

It is not well known how recent changes to the residency match process have impacted geographic diversity among residency matches. This study uses the Obstetrics and Gynecology match to evaluate how the recent changes, such as starting virtual interviews and the implementation of...

Magnetic-field-tunable cyclotron hyperbolic polaritons

Hyperbolic polaritons are conventionally associated with structural anisotropy or phononic Reststrahlen bands. Here, we predict a class of hyperbolic polaritons arising from magnetic-field-induced cyclotron motion of charge carriers. When a perpendicular magnetic field is applied...

Superlarge-Bore Versus Large-Bore Aspiration Catheters in Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Multicenter Propensity-Matched Analysis

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Aspiration catheters are an integral component of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Following early series demonstrating increasing procedural efficiency and improved outcomes with use of large-bore (LB) aspiration catheters, ther...

The evolution of maximum breaks in professional snooker

Abstract The maximum 147 break is snooker’s most celebrated achievement, yet its frequency has never been analysed statistically. We compile a season-level dataset of 44 seasons (1981–82 to 2024–25) and 217 maximum breaks. Using negative binomial regression with a log-frames offs...

Multiscale characterization of cortical signatures in positive and negative schizotypy:a worldwide ENIGMA study

Positive and negative schizotypy reflect distinct patterns of subclinical traits in the general population associated with neurodevelopmental and schizophrenia-spectrum pathologies. Yet, a comprehensive characterization of the unique and shared neuroanatomical signatures of these...

Genomic signatures of selection are enriched in differentially expressed genes in sticklebacks adapting to contrasting environments

Abstract Whole genome scans have identified numerous adaptive alleles in many species; however, linking these alleles to specific phenotypes remains a major challenge. A promising alternative to direct genotype–phenotype mapping, particularly given the complexities introduced by...

Differentially Private Hierarchical Spectral Clustering

We study hierarchical spectral graph clustering under edge differential privacy (DP) through the lens of iterative eigenvector estimation on adjacency matrices. We propose a differentially private recursive spectral framework, where each binary partition is obtained via a rank-on...

John Milton Brown

Abstract John Milton Brown began his independent scientific career at the University of Southampton in 1971 and moved to the University of Oxford some 12 years later. His interests centred on the measurement and interpretation of the spectra of small free radicals (generally unst...

Inflammatory Hot Phases in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) has traditionally been conceptualized as a progressive inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement and ventricular arrhythmias. Emerging clinical and translational evidence suggests that selected patients experience episodi...

Strontium Varied Across the City: 87 Sr/ 86 Sr Values at Ur (Tell al-Muqayyar, Iraq)

Analyses of isotope ratios provide researchers with evidence of past and present environments, ecologies, diets and more. For isotope analyses to be maximally effective, however, multiple forms of baseline knowledge need to be gathered. This paper contributes to filling key gaps...

Sample-Efficient Robot Skill Learning for Construction Tasks: Benchmarking Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning and Vision-Language-Action Model

Abstract This study evaluates two leading approaches for teaching construction robots new skills to understand their applicability for construction automation: a vision-language-action (VLA) model and reinforcement learning (RL) methods. The goal is to understand task performance...

A Survey of Distributed Asynchronous Many-Task Models and Their Applications

Asynchronous many-task (AMT) runtime systems have become an important paradigm for expressing fine-grained parallelism and managing asynchrony in high-performance computing (HPC). Originating from early dataflow concepts, AMTs have evolved to enable dynamic task generation, expli...

Thermodynamics of the Heisenberg XXX chain with negative spin

A bstract We study the thermodynamics of the isotropic Heisenberg XXX spin chain with negative spin, focusing on the case s = –1. The model is equivalent to the quantum lattice nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) model and appears as an effective theory in deep inelastic scattering in hi...

Using Lattice-Based Structures to Enhance Collision Safety between Humans and Fixed-Wing UAVs

Abstract The increasing potential of accidents caused by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over recent years has imposed a new demand to enhance safety. Although many control algorithms exist to avoid collision, these methods have a dependence on electronic devices detecting a pote...
