Volatile eutectics to tailor crystallization for perovskite optoelectronics

Improvements to the radiative efficiency of halide perovskite thin films are necessary to approach fundamental solar cell performance limits. We tailored perovskite crystallization by leveraging the eutectic interaction between zinc bromide and methylammonium chloride additives....

The AML-Associated A338V Mutation Rewires GPR183 Signaling through C-Terminal Ensemble Redistribution

Abstract G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) rely on dynamic conformational ensembles to coordinate G protein activation and recruitment of regulatory transducers such as GPCR kinases and β-arrestins. The oxysterol receptor GPR183 has been implicated in hematological malignancies...

Integrating fuzzy neural networks and elastic weight consolidation for continual learning under non-stationary data streams

Neuro-fuzzy systems combine neural network learning with fuzzy logic to robustly represent qualitative, uncertain, and imprecise knowledge, making them especially effective for data mining and knowledge discovery. With ongoing digitalization, the volume and velocity of data strea...

The User Agency Trap in Media Literacy Chatbots: Interactive Evaluation Format, Imperfection Disclosure, and Visual Misinformation Discernment

Although media literacy interventions are increasingly used to counter misinformation, many remain text-centered and non-interactive, limiting engagement during real-time evaluation. This limitation is particularly consequential for visual misinformation, where realistic syntheti...

Axial Length–Adjusted Normative Reference Values for Retinal Layer Thickness in a Population-Based OCT Study

Purpose: To establish axial length-adjusted normative reference values for retinal layer thickness using population-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) data and evaluate their clinical implications in highly myopic eyes. Methods: This cross-sectional study used Korea Nationa...

Colloidally Stable P-Type Quantum Dot Ink with an Atomic Layer Deposition Interlayer for High-Detectivity Photodetectors

Solution-processed quantum dot (QD) photodetectors commonly rely on solid-state ligand exchange (SSLE) for the fabrication of conductive films; however, severe volume shrinkage, which induces stress throughout the QD film and generates structural defects and trap states, causes a...

When Does Mindfulness Translate Into Consumer Well‐Being? The Role of Mindful Consumption and Meditation Regularity

ABSTRACT Mindfulness correlates with higher life satisfaction, yet consumer wellbeing research rarely specifies the behavioral route through which this relationship emerges. Drawing on self‐regulation theory, the research proposes mindful consumption as that route and, drawing on...

K34 (3,3″-Dihydroxy-6′-desmethyl Terphenyllin) Promotes Hemoglobin-Supported H2O2 Decomposition and Attenuates Neurodegenerative Phenotypes in APP/PS1 Mice with Focal GiD

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contributes to oxidative stress in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet conventional antioxidants that directly scavenge H2O2 have shown limited therapeutic efficacy. Here, we investigated K34 (3,3″-dihydroxy-6′-desmethyl terphenyllin), a catechol-bearing para-t...

The role of deontological morality in shaping demand within the sharing economy

This study examines how deontological and consequentialist appeals in Airbnb host self-descriptions relate to trust-related attention and marketplace performance. Study 1 combines a five-city listing panel with third-party New York property-month records; Study 2 analyzes a behav...

Combination strategy of photothermal therapy and targeted IFN-β mutein priming elicits a durable abscopal effect

Metastatic tumors remain difficult to cure due to frequent dissemination and recurrence. While photothermal therapy (PTT) can trigger abscopal effects, PTT monotherapy often fails to sustain systemic immunity. Here, we investigated a tripartite strategy combining PTT, a tumor-tar...

Apolipoprotein B relative to LDL cholesterol and diabetes in relation to brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity progression

Factors associated with longitudinal progression of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) are less well established than correlates of single-time-point measurements. We examined associations of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) relative to LDL cholesterol and diabetes with baPWV prog...

Interactive Media Engagement Predicts Posttraumatic Distress After Community Trauma: A National Repeated Cross-Sectional Study

Objective Media engagement is an important pathway for indirect exposure to community trauma, but little is known about how interactive platforms and meaning-making relate to posttraumatic psychological outcomes. This study examined whether different types of media usage, particu...

Scoping review of models predicting emergency department length of stay

Emergency Department (ED) length of stay (LOS) is a critical performance indicator in healthcare systems, influencing patient outcomes, overcrowding, and resource utilization. Predicting LOS can enhance patient flow and resource management. While traditional statistical methods h...

Validating LLM-Generated Expert Judgments in AHP Decision Support: A Preregistered Cross-Study Benchmark and Randomized-Order Audit

Large language models (LLMs) are entering decision-support systems as inexpensive synthetic experts, yet their judgments are rarely validated against published human targets. We benchmark six LLMs on a source-audited corpus of 27 published Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) studies...

Rethinking wireless communications through formal mathematical AI reasoning

Mathematical analysis has long underpinned wireless communication theory, yet the growing complexity of next-generation systems demands increasingly sophisticated reasoning from domain experts. Recent advances in AI mathematical reasoning, from formal theorem proving to large lan...

Moral cognition and ethical perceptions in business: psychological insights from Gilgit-Baltistan’s cultural context

Abstract: This study examines the influence of ethical company practices, sustainability, and community involvement on consumer perceptions and the cultivation of trust. As demand for openness and accountability rises, consumers anticipate that firms will function in accordance w...

An Empirical Study and Benchmark of Kubernetes Misconfiguration Scanners

Kubernetes is a widely adopted container orchestration framework, yet misconfigurations remain a leading cause of cloud security incidents and a major challenge for practitioners. Automated security scanners are commonly used to detect such misconfigurations, but their effectiven...

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: 2026 expert consensus-based practical recommendation of the Korean Liver Cancer Association

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a noninvasive, high-precision radiation technique that delivers a high dose to the tumor in a limited number of fractions, typically five or fewer, and is increasingly used as a curative-intent option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC...

Exercise-Induced Activation of IGF-1/mTOR Signaling and Hippocampal BDNF/PGC-1α Expression Reverses Age-Related Motor Decline

Purpose: Aging is associated with a progressive decline in skeletal muscle function and motor coordination, contributing to reduced mobility and quality of life. While exercise is a well-established intervention to counteract age-related deterioration, the underlying molecular me...

Advancing Health Equity In Long Covid: Bioethical Considerations And System-Level Strategies For Post-Acute Care And Recovery

Abstract: Long COVID has emerged as a continuing public health challenge, with symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive slowing and shortness of breath affecting many people well after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. This review synthesizes evidence on prevalence, symptom, risk dete...
