Ultraviolet observations of the Earth and Moon during the JUICE Lunar-Earth flyby

Abstract. During the JUICE Lunar-Earth Gravity Assist (LEGA) period in August 2024, the JUICE ultraviolet imaging spectrograph (JUICE-UVS) performed a series of observations of the Earth and Moon, detecting reflected sunlight at the Moon and emissions of atmospheric species inclu...

“New Way to Look at Shared Problems”: Team Science in Special Education Research

In special education, the complexity of serving individuals with disabilities and their families necessitates sustained interdisciplinary collaboration. However, little is known about how the principles of team science are valued and enacted within higher education programs that...

Leakage from geologic energy and carbon storage: Multiphase migration of H2 and CO2 through variably saturated porous media

The shallow fate of hydrogen leaking from storage wells, the likeliest leakage pathway, is less studied than that of carbon dioxide. Matched five-year multiphase simulations of a wellbore defect leaking into an air-filled, variably saturated section were run with only the gas cha...

Solar-Assisted IoT waste monitoring system with photovoltaic energy feasibility assessment

Internet of Things (IoT)-based waste monitoring systems are increasingly used to support smart and efficient waste management systems. However, many existing systems still depend on conventional batteries or grid power, which can increase maintenance requirements and limit outdoo...

Augmented multiscale formulation for incompressible flow

We revise the multiscale finite element formulation for incompressible flow computations. We incorporate an iterative penalty approach to the classical multiscale finite element formulation to ensure the enforcement of the incompressiblity condition during temporal solution of th...

Cannabis and Crime Revisited: Method-Specific Use and Its Association With Criminal Activity Among Adults

Previous research links cannabis use with crime, however, most studies examining the association between cannabis use and crime were conducted prior to expansions in cannabis legalization. Due to changes in cannabis policies, most states now allow individuals to purchase cannabis...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Implementing Guidelines into Practice

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a common and debilitating complication of diabetes, affecting up to 50% of patients. Early identification and management of DPN are crucial to minimize complications and maintain patient quality of life. Multiple guidelines have been develo...

Shared patterns of human milk composition link mammary gland function to infant growth

The mammary gland produces nutrient-rich human milk (HM), yet how mammary functional state shapes HM composition and infant outcomes remains poorly understood. We used HM multi-omics - metabolomics, proteomics, micronutrients, macronutrients, and HM oligosaccharides - across 1,54...

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...

Medieval Holy Women and the Desire for Death

This book examines a peculiar claim in writings by and about several medieval holy women – that they desired their own deaths. In a personal preface, Barr explains that, after the death of a loved ...

Does Literary Translingualism Matter? Reflections on the Translingual and Isolingual Text

Though it has an ancient pedigree, literary translingualism manifests itself differently in different cultures. But does the question of whether a text is written in L1, L2, L3, or L4 matter to the creation or consumption of literature? Most writers believe it does. To determine...

“Gender-based violence is the last thing they will think about”: a qualitative study on multilevel factors affecting gender-based violence screening and response in HIV care, Uganda, 2023

Uganda’s Ministry of Health (MOH) adopted the World Health Organization’s guidelines to incorporate routine gender-based violence (GBV) screening, counseling, and referrals in health care settings, including HIV care; however, considerable implementation barriers exist. This stud...

Metatarsal Strains During Loading and Motion of the Foot and Ankle in a Cadaveric Model

Metatarsal bone stress injuries (BSI) are painful, overuse injuries commonly seen in athletes and military personnel. High strain magnitudes combined with repetitive loading cycles causes bone fatigue and microdamage accumulation. To protect against BSI, it is necessary to determ...

Associations of Brain Structure and Neuropsychological Function With Artificial Intelligence Estimates of Biological Vascular Age

BACKGROUND: Accelerated vascular aging, assessed as artificial intelligence–based vascular age (AIVA), is associated with small vessel disease that may impact brain structure and neuropsychological function. METHODS: In a cross-section of Framingham Heart Study participants, AIVA...

Improving Competitiveness: A Freelancer-Centric Approach for Recommending Reskilling Strategies

Online labor markets play a vital role in connecting freelancers and employers worldwide. While most existing methods focus on helping employers find the best candidates, relatively little research addresses freelancer-centric approaches. In this study, we propose a freelancer-ce...

The Relationship Between Incarceration History and Dental Care and Oral Health in the United States: A Scoping Review

OBJECTIVES: To conduct a scoping review of observational quantitative studies examining the association between prior incarceration and (1) dental care use, (2) dental insurance coverage, and (3) oral health outcomes among US adults. METHODS: A search strategy was implemented acr...

ThermoPix: an electronic-photonic temperature sensor array with microsecond row readout

Abstract This paper presents ThermoPix, a CMOS-compatible electronic–photonic architecture for high-spatial-resolution temperature sensing. The proposed system converts temperature-induced wavelength shifts in a photonic interferometric sensor into timing information that can be...

Whose voices count? Multilingualism, AI policy, and equity at Hispanic-Serving institutions

Abstract Universities have been rapidly developing generative AI policies to govern teaching, learning, research, and administration. Although these policies are typically framed around innovation, academic integrity, and risk management, they also shape language practices and pa...

Does Board Gender Diversity at Target Firms Influence Acquisition Outcomes? Us Evidence

ABSTRACT Using US public‐to‐public mergers and acquisitions from 1999 to 2022, we examine how board gender diversity at target firms influences acquisition outcomes. Firms with gender‐diverse boards are less likely to receive acquisition bids; when they do, they command higher pr...
