Spatial nonparametric Bayesian Poisson hurdle model for analyzing zero-inflated tick data

Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, an infectious tick-borne disease, has been increasingly reported in South Korea. Understanding the epidemiology of its vectors will help predict the spatio-seasonal abundance of ticks and manage future health risks related to...

Synergistic Surface Modification Of Bamboo Fibers For High-Performance Green Epoxy Composites

Abstract Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites hold great promise as lightweight structural materials, yet their mechanical performance is often constrained by structural damage during fiber extraction and poor interfacial adhesion with polymer matrices. Here, we report a s...

Gastronomy as an engaging form of creative tourism enhanced by co-creation and nostalgia

Gastronomic encounters increasingly function as creative tourism experiences in which participation and nostalgia shape how tourists feel, think, and act toward a destination. This study examines the role of creative tourist experiences, gastro-nostalgia, and co-creation intentio...

Gastric amphicrine carcinoma in the stomach: an unexpected presentation of MUTYH-associated polyposis

Amphicrine carcinomas of the stomach, defined by dual exocrine and neuroendocrine differentiation within the same neoplastic cell, are exceedingly rare. MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) is an autosomal recessive polyposis syndrome characterized by multiple colorectal adenomas and...

Staggered Quadruple-Rutile Oxides as Low-Strain and High-Power Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract Tunnel-structured oxides provide attractive hosts for lithium-ion storage. However, their application is frequently limited by structural instability or sluggish ion transport at high lithium contents. Here, we demonstrate that the staggered quadruple-rutile framework re...

Association Between Artificial Sweetener Consumption and Bladder Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background:The potential association between artificial sweetener consumption and bladder cancer risk remains controversial.Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive metaanalysis synthesizing evidence from observational studies to elucidate this relationship.Methods: A systematic l...

Effects of Body-Weight Changes on the Risk of New-Onset Diabetes in Individuals With Non-Diabetic Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is associated with an increased risk of hepatic and extrahepatic complications.Although weight reduction is the primary recommended intervention, its impact on extrahepatic outcomes remains uncertain.We...

Damage‐Free Passivation of Ambipolar OECTs with Fluoropolymer Film for Enhanced Performance and Stability Toward Reliable Biosignal Processing

Organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) is a promising building block for bioelectronic and neuromorphic applications due to its high transconductance and low-voltage operation. However, microstructural instability and irreversible electrochemical degradation of the organic mix...

Immunogenic Cell Death Induced by EEO in Breast Cancer Cells Promotes Dendritic Cell Activation in a CRT-Dependent Manner

Cancer immunotherapy faces significant challenges in treating “cold” tumors, which respond poorly to current strategies. Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer-related mortality in women and is a representative immunosuppressive cold tumor. The luminal A subtype of breast cance...

Functional traits reveal unaccounted diversity within Sonchus asper (L.) Hill (Asteraceae) in the northern Mediterranean and enable the reinstatement of ancient taxa

Abstract Functional traits express the ecological and evolutionary attributes of individuals that compose taxa, providing robust criteria to detect speciation when integrated with phylogenies. We tested this approach in Sonchus asper (L.) Hill, a putatively self-fertilising annua...

Deciphering Surface Hydrolysis Mechanism in Argyrodite via Large‐Scale Machine Learning Potential Simulations

ABSTRACT Sulfide‐based argyrodite (Li 6 PS 5 Cl) stands out as a promising solid‐state electrolyte (SSE) due to its high Li‐ion conductivity; however, its poor moisture stability leads to toxic H 2 S release and interfacial degradation, severely limiting its practical application...

Integrating Environmental Value Into Mobility‐as‐a‐Service: Behavioral Insights for Sustainable Mobility Strategy

ABSTRACT Mobility‐as‐a‐Service (MaaS) offers an integrated solution for sustainable urban transport. However, user adoption remains limited, and individuals' valuation of environmental performance is poorly understood. This study empirically examined sustainability‐oriented prefe...

Implementing a Cognitively Grounded Artificial Moral Advisor: A Multi-LLM Multi-Agent Approach Based on the Cognitive–Reflective Equilibration Model

Large language model (LLM)-based artificial intelligence is increasingly used in ethically consequential human decision-making, yet fully autonomous machine ethics remains unrealistic, motivating architectures that support rather than replace human ethical judgment. This study in...

Filtered Quantum Phase Estimation

Abstract Accurate state preparation is a critical bottleneck in many quantum algorithms, particularly those for ground-state energy estimation. Even in fault-tolerant quantum computing, preparing a quantum state with sufficient overlap with the desired eigenstate remains a major...

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...

Korean Clinical Practice Guidelines for Rehabilitation in Critically Ill Patients and Post-Intensive Care Syndrome

Background: Survivors of critical illness commonly experience persistent physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments, collectively known as post–intensive care syndrome. Although intensive care unit (ICU) rehabilitation is now recognized as an important part of recovery af...

Gate Metal‐Driven Sensing and Memory Bifunctionality in Intrinsically Stretchable Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Soft Neuromorphic Systems

ABSTRACT Intrinsically stretchable devices capable of integrating sensing, memory and signal processing are highly desirable for conformal bioelectronics. However, achieving such multifunctionality remains challenging due to conflicting operational requirements and the lack of me...

Restricted Loss of Life Expectancy in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Nationwide KAMIR Registry Study

Background The mortality risk of acute myocardial infarction declines rapidly after the initial period, yet the quantitative measures of residual risk in the follow‐up period remain limited. We aimed to assess restricted loss of life expectancy (LOLE) in patients with acute myoca...

Prognostic model for patients with oral cavity cancer using a novel multi-parameter index including radiation response of patient-derived tumoroids
