Latent paths in mode choice models: incorporating street-level environment features for active travel policy

There is growing empirical evidence that walking and cycling are influenced by street-level environment features such as greenness and traffic stress. To assess active travel policy, these features are increasingly incorporated into mode choice models through predictors that aggr...

Matrix stress relaxation drives glioblastoma cell response in viscoelastic biomaterials

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of glioblastoma (GBM) is known to modulate cell behavior, yet the specific contributions of matrix biochemical and biomechanical signaling remain poorly understood. To address this, we engineer a tunable hyaluronan-elastin-like protein (HELP) hydrog...

Sources and sinks of dissolved oxygen in eutrophic tropical earthen fishponds

Dissolved oxygen is the main limiting factor in pond aquaculture production, yet the relative contributions of its various sources and sinks remain poorly quantified in eutrophic earthen pond systems. Photosynthetic oxygen production, surface exchange, sediment oxygen demand and...

Localized brain delivery of drugs via focused ultrasound-responsive bi-layer nanobubbles

Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with micro- or nanobubbles is a promising strategy for transiently and non-invasively opening the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to enable targeted drug delivery to the brain. Here, we report a FUS-responsive delivery system using bi-layer nanob...

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

ABSTRACT Durable, high‐performance, and environmentally friendly lead‐free piezoceramics are essential for next‐generation sustainable energy transducers and electromechanical systems. However, piezoceramics are mechanically weak, which negatively impacts their working conditions...

Contrast-free super-resolution ultrasound imaging for microvascular assessment of murine subcutaneous tumour models in preclinical oncology

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction</bold> . Tumour vascularity is an important biomarker of tumour growth and therapeutic response. Current in vivo imaging methods have a limited ability to detect individual tumour vessels due to the small vessel size and low flow rates c...

Microbial inoculants for soil restoration: A Risk-Proportional Stewardship Framework Integrating Strain-Resolved Genomics and Adaptive Governance

Abstract Global soil degradation and increasing reliance on chemical inputs threaten agricultural sustainability, driving interest in microbial inoculants as tools for soil restoration. These biological products have the potential to enhance nutrient cycling, improve soil structu...

Size-DependentTernary Halide Solid Solutions in PerovskiteNanocrystals

Abstract Crystalline solid solutions incorporate guest atoms by substituting host lattice sites up to a solubility limit dictated by solute–host similarity. Solid solutions enable tuning of various material properties, such as the optoelectronic behavior of halide perovskites. In...

Rhomboid protease RHBDL2 is a calcium-activated suppressor of EGFR signalling in keratinocytes

Abstract Signalling via the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is indispensable for morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis. It is activated by extracellular ligands, typically released from transmembrane precursors by proteolysis. Ligand shedding activity is provided by the co...

Dynamical Controlof Non-Hermitian Coupling betweenSubthreshold Nanolasers Enables Q-Switched Pulse Generation

Abstract Non-Hermitian photonics provides a framework to engineer the gain and loss of optical modes in open systems, enabling the control of their spectral and dynamical properties. In particular, the ability to dynamically tune modal losses offers a route to implement functiona...

Adhesion investigation of waterborne and solventborne epoxy coatings on oil-contaminated and surface-corroded steel substrates

Epoxy coatings are widely used to protect steel structures; however, industrial substrates often retain residual corrosion products and organic contaminants after surface preparation. Waterborne (WB) epoxy coatings are generally considered less surface-tolerant than solventborne...

Assessing inter-model agreement in convection-permitting simulations of extreme winds for wind energy applications

Abstract. Convection-permitting models (CPMs) have great potential for wind energy applications such as wind energy planning, turbine design loads, and operational safety in a climate change context. In fact, compared to coarse-resolution models, they have an improved representat...

Anchors for Homology-Based Scaffolding

Homology-based scaffolding orders contigs based on conserved collinearity of homologous sequences across related species. Existing methods often rely on costly whole-genome alignments or show limited robustness when integrating multiple references. Here, we introduce an anchor-ba...

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...

Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars

Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, co...

Mechanical limits shape the eccentric form of rose prickles

Abstract Rose prickles are vegetal weapons familiar to most green-thumbed individuals. Their distinctive feature is an oval cross-section, which contrasts with the mostly circular shapes of natural and man-made stingers. However, the reason for their eccentricity remains poorly u...

Dynamic connectedness between commodity markets and investor sentiment in “ESG” labeled funds

Abstract This study explores the dynamic interactions between price shocks to commodity markets and investor demand, proxied by fund flows, in environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-labeled global equity and bond funds. By focusing on labeled funds, the analysis isolates the...

Development of material monitoring protocols for nature-inclusive designed concrete units in harbor-fronts

Abstract Human activities are putting stress on earth’s ecosystems, and with increasing populations in coastal zones, the pressure on the marine environments intensifies. To accommodate the increase in anthropogenic activities in these areas, concrete is often used to adapt the c...

Association between candidate genes and FRAX scores in postmenopausal women

Abstract Purpose Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with BMD and bone fracture risk. The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between FRAX scores and specific SNPs in Italian osteopenic and osteoporotic postmenopausal women. Methods We...

Color Symmetry Breaking in a Nonlinear Optical Microresonator

ABSTRACT Spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to diverse phenomena across the natural sciences, from the Higgs mechanism in particle physics to superconductors and collective animal behavior. In photonic systems, the symmetry of light states can be broken when two optical fields i...
