Cosmological Constraints from Full-scale Clustering and Galaxy–Galaxy Lensing with DESI DR1

Abstract We present constraints on cosmic structure growth from the analysis of galaxy clustering and galaxy–galaxy lensing with galaxies from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1. Our analysis includes four samples drawn from the Bright Galaxy Survey (B...

Analysts’ use of toxic emissions data

Purpose This study examines whether financial analysts function as information intermediaries by incorporating Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data into their assessments of firms' environmental risks, as reflected in earnings forecasts and stock recommendations. It further invest...

Parental Physical Punishment and Chinese Children's Friendship Quality: The Moderating Role of Temperamental Surgency

ABSTRACT Objective This study investigated the association between maternal and paternal physical punishment and Chinese young children's positive and negative friendship quality, and the moderation of children's temperamental surgency. Background Parenting practices are importan...

Regret Aversion and Market Provision of (Cyber)Security

This paper studies the effect of market structure on cybersecurity under alternative behavioral models of consumer risk preference. I show that consumer regret aversion can reverse the competitive effect on security provision. If consumers are expected utility maximizers, competi...

The Identification of the Dynamic Discrete-Choice Model with Stockpiling

We study the identification of the discount factor for dynamic discrete-choice (DDC) models of demand with stockpiling of a storable good. We show that the DDC has built-in exclusion restrictions that set-identify the discount factor without requiring any auxiliary assumptions. W...

ERX 208 induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and suppresses DNA damage repair to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity

Abstract Ovarian cancer (OCa) remains the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, driven in part by intrinsic and acquired therapeutic resistance to DNA damaging chemotherapies. We previously identified that ERX-208 targets the protein encoded by Lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA) to induc...

Interfacial reconstruction toward a C60–Zn–Bi sandwich architecture for ultra-stable zinc anodes

Severe dendrite growth and interfacial instability hinder the practical application of aqueous zinc metal anodes. Herein, we develop a self-reconstructed Fullerene–Zinc–Bismuth (C 60 –Zn–Bi) sandwich architecture to regulate Zn deposition and stabilize the electrode/electrolyte i...

Characterizing Real-World Bugs in Tile Programs for Automated Bug Detection

Tile-based programming frameworks are increasingly adopted to write high-performance GPU kernels in domains such as deep learning and scientific computing. While these frameworks enhance productivity and hardware utilization, their multi-stage compilation pipelines introduce dist...

On Behavioral Alignment of Model-Code and Human-Code Understandability via Behavioral Proxies

Code understandability is a critical aspect of software quality. Prior research has largely focused on this attribute from a human-centric or code-centric perspective, while it should be viewed as a relational property arising from the interaction between a reader and the code. W...

AdaptAgent: A Multi-agent, Domain-Guided Reasoning Framework for Code Adaptation

Developers often need to adapt into their projects the code generated from LLMs or code snippets from online forums. However, integrating them into an existing repository remains challenging in a manual process. A successful integration typically requires more than copying code a...

The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae Catalog. I. Empirical Modeling of the Cyclic Variation of Spectroscopic Properties and a Chemodynamical Analysis of the Outer Halo

Abstract We present the catalog of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) observed in the first year of operations of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. This catalog contains 6240 RRLs out to ∼120 kpc from the Galactic center and over 12,000 individual epochs with homogeneous...

The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae Catalog. II. The Metallicity Dependency of Pulsational Properties, the Shape of the RR Lyrae Instability Strip, and Metal Rich RR Lyrae

Abstract RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are valuable probes of both Milky Way assembly and stellar-evolution physics. Using a sample 6240 RRLs obtained in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, we investigate the metallicity of RRLs and its correlation w...

EGFR-AI Drug Discovery Computational Workflow

This software repository contains the computational workflow developed for an EGFR-targeted artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted drug discovery study. The project includes source code and computational scripts for AI/ML-based analysis, molecular generation, molecular docking, mo...

CRISP: grade-separated chaos modeling for random RIS architectures via Clifford Wiener-Itô expansion

Abstract This paper presents CRISP, a grade-separated chaos modeling framework for random reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) architectures. Conventional RIS models typically represent the surface response by scalar phase shifts and treat the resulting channel as determinist...

Structural and functional insights into a Zn2+-transporting P-type ATPase

Abstract Zinc is essential for life yet toxic in excess, rendering homeostatic control vital for all organisms. Transition metal transporting P-type (P IB -) ATPase proteins are critical for this balance but remain poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we present the in...

A Forest Approach for Analyzing the Heterogeneous and Nonlinear Effects of Sellers’ Response Time

Problem definition: In online-marketplace bargaining, how fast to respond to a buyer’s offer is a question many sellers face. Whereas a fast response signals the seller’s eagerness to sell, a slow response signals the seller’s insincerity or irresponsibility. In this paper, we us...

Self-Adaptive Thermal Regulator for Dynamic Heating and Cooling through Coupled Thermal Energy Storage and Solar Modulation

Abstract Indoor climate control accounts for nearly half of global building energy consumption and can impose substantial stress on power grids under extreme weather conditions. Developing energy-efficient thermoregulation technologies is therefore critical for reducing building...

Human-AI Interaction: Evaluating LLM Reasoning on Digital Logic Circuits and the Perception-Correctness Gap

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used by undergraduate students as on-demand tutors, yet their reliability on circuit- and diagram-based digital logic problems remains unclear. This study presents a human- AI study evaluating three widely used LLMs (GPT, Gemini, and...

Gastrointestinal Bleeding Is Associated with Worse In-Hospital Outcomes in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample

Background/Objectives: Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may develop gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We aimed to assess the impact of GI bleeding on in-hospital outcomes in patients with STEMI. Methods: This retrospective study was performed using t...
