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...

Integrating deep learning and pangenomics to recover missing heritability from wild structural variations

Crop domestication has induced a severe genetic bottleneck that reduces the adaptive diversity present in modern cultivars. Standard intra-population genomic prediction models reliant on linear reference genomes and SNPs fail to capture the full spectrum of phenotypic variance hi...

Photoreceptor-specific scene statistics reveal melanopic structure in natural environments.

Microvascular remodeling and endothelial dysfunction across the post-COVID-19 spectrum: a prospective observational case-control study

<title>Abstract</title> Background Post-viral diseases, including post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), cause substantial long-term morbidity. Persistent cardiovascular risk after acute infection highlights the need for acce...

Dispatch or Hold? An Inverse Optimization and Reinforcement Learning Approach for Multiobjective On-Demand Delivery

In large-scale on-demand food delivery systems, dynamic order dispatching needs to balance immediate dispatch and order holding amid competing objectives, including delivery efficiency, service timeliness, and courier utilization. Holding certain orders for future consolidation m...

Aerodynamic testing of pulsed-jet actuation on a short-inlet UHBR engine nacelle

Abstract Innovative short-inlet nacelle designs and disruptive technologies are essential for minimizing the drag and weight penalties of high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines. Active flow control (AFC) can mitigate inlet separation under off-design conditions by using local air inj...

BOS-TMC Data Set:DFT Properties of 159k ExperimentallyCharacterized Transition Metal Complexes Spanning Multiple Chargeand Spin States

Abstract We present the Boston Open-Shell Transition Metal Complex (BOS-TMC) data set, a set of density functional theory (DFT) properties for 159k experimentally characterized mononuclear transition metal complexes (TMCs) in multiple spin states with a range of formal charges de...

Overcoming Uncontrolled Nucleation and Cesium Salt Solubility Limits in Scalable Perovskite Deposition through All-Inorganic Perovskite Nanocrystal Seeding

Abstract Optoelectronic performance, defect density, and thin-film morphology of solution-processable lead halide perovskites are highly dependent on nucleation and growth conditions during processing. Additionally, Cs+ incorporation into the lattice can have benign effects on th...

3D Hydrodynamic Flow Lithography

ABSTRACT Continuous‐ and stop‐flow lithography are widely used to fabricate multi‐dimensional microstructures whose cross‐sectional morphology is dictated by the flow profile of multiple co‐flowing streams. Here, we introduce three‐dimensional hydrodynamic flow lithography (3D HF...

Brassinosteroid-regulated transcription factors confer epigenetic changes that repress plant immunity

Abstract When organisms encounter pathogens, they rapidly activate complex defense programs to ensure survival. While these immune responses are vital, they often also incur trade-offs, such as reduced growth and development and must therefore be tightly controlled 1,2 . In this...

Observing teaching principles in school - Development and Validation of an Observation Protocol (OPTIS)

Instructional quality seems to have a considerable impact on students’ achievements. Unpacking instructional quality through observation is an increasingly used method in educational research. Although a great variety of observational measurements for school observation are avail...

The Symbiocene as a transformative vision

Abstract We live in times of crises and calls for a transformative social‐ecological change are voiced increasingly often. The question is, however, how such a transformation could be achieved. The prevailing view is that we are living in an era in which human activities signific...

Can parent–child interactions help reduce socioeconomic differences in language development? Results of a German birth cohort study

Abstract Aim Children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families often have lower developmental outcomes than their socioeconomically more advantaged peers. In early childhood, language development (LD) in particular is a key competence for further socialization. There is a ne...

The quest for the optimal level of sense of agency in the case of human-operated, AI-enabled robotics

Sense of agency is the subjective feeling of being in control over one’s own actions and their sensory outcomes. Here, we propose that a key feature of sense of agency is its link to intrinsic motivation, which is a key driver for engagement with the environment without external...

Efficient Auxiliary-FieldQuantum Monte Carlo UsingIsometric Tensor Hypercontraction

Abstract Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) has emerged as a powerful framework for treating strongly correlated electronic systems, offering a favorable balance between computational cost and accuracy. In this paper, we present a novel AFQMC method that uses the isometr...

Histological aging signatures for monitoring tissue-specific aging and disease

Aging is the primary risk factor for chronic disease and is characterized by profound structural and architectural remodeling of human tissues. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of these changes using 25,712 whole-slide histopathological images from 40 tissue types acro...

Selective filtering of multi-photon events from a single-photon emitter

Abstract Single-photon purity is one of the most important key metrics of many quantum states of light. For applications in photonic quantum technologies, e.g. quantum communication and linear optical quantum computing, a minimization of the multi-photon error rate is required be...

Measuring Ocean Surface Waves

Abstract Propagating waves on the ocean surface can be represented as a stochastic process whose statistics are characterized by a spectrum. This paper reviews methods for measuring the wave spectrum and related quantities. Observations begin by sensing fluid dynamical properties...

Ipsilateral inhibitory rTMS restores interhemispheric motor cortex balance and reduces phantom limb pain: an exploratory longitudinal nTMS mapping study

Abstract Background Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a debilitating condition associated with maladaptive neuroplastic changes following limb amputation. The prevailing neuromodulatory approach targets the deafferented contralateral motor cortex, yet interhemispheric imbalance is incre...

CMR-based aortic stiffness parameters in a symptomatic high risk obstructive sleep apnea cohort: results from the population-based Hamburg City Health Study

Abstract Background Aortic stiffness (AS) parameters as pulse wave velocity (PWV), aortic distensibility of the ascending and descending aorta (AD AoAsc, AD AoDesc) and pulse pressure (PP) are marker for vascular ageing, whereas data concerning obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in po...
