Addressing Common Problems in Autism Research: Cohort Development and Sample Description for a Participatory, Real-World, Longitudinal Study of Outcomes in Autistic Adults

Adult autism services research is plagued by methodological challenges, including difficulty obtaining representative or heterogeneous samples and a frequent mismatch between experimental methodologies and real-world settings. The Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research...

Echoes across the divide: incivility and the fragmentation of issue publics in immigration discourse

As immigration remains one of the most polarizing issues in U.S. politics, public discourse around it has become increasingly uncivil, especially on social media. This longitudinal study examines how incivility spreads and escalates across ideologically opposed issue publics on X...

Comparing Traditional Motor Speech Practice to Contextualized Speech Practice in Preschoolers With Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare retention of real-word targets across practice conditions (contextualized vs. motor-only) within a modified integral stimulation treatment for preschoolers with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Method: A single-subject experimental...

Delivering building demand flexibility for grid-interactive operation: from perception and cognition to decision, execution, and verification

As both buildings and power systems undergo rapid decarbonization, demand flexibility (DF) in buildings has emerged as a key enabler for renewable energy integration, grid reliability, energy resilience, and efficient and low carbon operation. By dynamically adjusting building en...

Lipid-Shell PARCH:A Physically Motivated Scale forTransmembrane Residue Hydropathy

Abstract Understanding how amino acid residues partition from water into lipid bilayers is fundamental to membrane protein folding, stability, and function. Existing hydrophobicity scales derive from isolated protein systems, organic solvent approximations, or computationally exp...

Going Green online: how higher education institutions use Instagram to communicate sustainability

As institutions of higher education increasingly seek to differentiate themselves through sustainability initiatives, social media platforms such as Instagram offer a powerful channel to reinforce these commitments. This study explores the differences in sustainability-related me...

Beyond restoration: Tipping points, leverage points and the reimagination of global health architecture

The United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organisation and the defunding of multilateral health programs represent more than a political disruption. Complexity science identifies them as a phase transition in a system that had been losing resilience for decades. This ar...

Dopant-DirectedSurface Energy Modulation for ControlledGrowth and Color-Tunable Photoluminescence in Cu+-DopedTwo-Dimensional CdSe Nanoplatelets

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) are promising building blocks for optoelectronic applications due to their strong 1D quantum confinement and large lateral dimensions. While the growth mechanisms of pristine CdSe NPLs have been extensively studied,...

long covid and subjective wellbeing among U.S. working-age adults

Long COVID symptoms can persist for months or years, impeding daily functioning, employment, and social relationships. While prior research links long COVID to adverse clinical mental health outcomes, less attention has been paid to broader subjective wellbeing—including life sat...

Mating strategies in Caenorhabditis elegans populations are determined by male developmental history.

Mating strategies, whether sexual or asexual, confer unique costs and benefits to populations and species that facilitate evolutionary processes. In wild isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans, mating strategies are dependent on developmental history. Outcrossing significantly increa...

Learning with Reflection: Implementing Weekly Reflection Journals to Support Conceptual Learning in Upper-Level Undergraduate Engineering Courses

Reflection can contribute to learning, helping students actively and constructively recall material and connect it with other aspects of their lives, as described by the interactive–constructive–active–passive (ICAP) framework. For engineering students in particular, reflection m...

The Effects of Recalling Health Insurance and Health Care Experiences on Policy Attitudes

Abstract Context: Individuals' attitudes towards health policy are affected in part by their own experiences navigating the health care system. In the United States, this experience is comprised of both interactions with insurance providers and those with care providers. This stu...

Accelerating oral reading fluency in a professional development school: effects of UFLI Foundations versus district curriculum on Tier 2 interventions with second-grade students

Purpose This study reports on a professional development school (PDS) partnership examining the effects of UFLI Foundations: An Explicit and Systematic Phonics Program (Lane & Contesse, 2022) on Tier 2 reading interventions with at-risk second-grade students in an urban eleme...

Why soft-liners must be responsibility skeptics or bite the bullet

Abstract Soft-line compatibilism has come to occupy a privileged position in the debate over manipulation arguments against compatibilism. By identifying a responsibility-relevant difference between manipulated and ordinary agents, soft-liners promise to accommodate the intuition...
