A machine learning framework of ground-state properties of finite nuclei foraccelerated Bayesian exploration : NucleiML

Abstract The global behavior of the nuclear equation of state (EoS) is commonly studied using data from finite nuclei (FN), heavy-ion collisions, and astrophysical observations of neutron stars (NS). The constraints derived from FN such as binding energies and charge radii play t...

Female Team-Sport Athletes’ Physical Fitness and Jump Performance Kinematics After Plyometric Jump Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Plyometric jump training (PJT) can improve athletes’ physical fitness across a range of sports and populations. Nonetheless, the role of PJT in adult female team-sport athletes’ fitness, jump performance, and kinematics remains unclear, particularly given the increasing number of...

Breaking the Ice: Contributions and Challenges for Andean Glaciological Research Led by Women

Abstract This study examines the participation of women in Andean glaciology over the past four decades, combining a bibliometric analysis of 204 peer-reviewed articles (1983–2022) and a survey of female first authors (2018–2022). Results show a steady increase in women-led publi...

Sexual dimorphism and sex estimation in the cuneiform bones from a Chilean modern osteological series

In challenging forensic contexts, reconstructing the biological profile with insufficient evidence remains a significant endeavor to achieve human identification. In contemporary osteological series, foot bones are often protected by footwear that may preserve their integrity, pr...

Many-Body Second-Order Green’s Function Theory for Ab Initio Molecular Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract In this work, we develop two many-body quantum electrodynamic methods to calculate the ground-state energies of strongly coupled light-matter molecular systems. Specifically, we extend the second-order many-body Green’s function theory (GF2) for electronic systems to inc...

MHC-II+ G-MDSC expressing CD80, CD86, or ICOSL are associated with pro-inflammatory CD4+ T cells phenotypes in the lungs of lupus-prone mice

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects various tissues of the body. One of these tissues is the lung, in which pleuropulmonary manifestations commonly occur. In these patients, homeostasis is disrupted, characterized by a decr...

The “Fork” Geometry in the DESI Main Survey DR1: Implications of Target Selection for Galaxy Evolution Studies

Abstract The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Main Survey Data Release 1 (DR1) provides an unprecedented spectroscopic view of galaxies and quasars across a large fraction of the observable Universe. However, the survey’s tracer-dependent targeting strategy introduces...

Loneliness relates to smaller hippocampal subfield volumes in individuals with elevated plasma pTau217: results from IGNITE

Loneliness is associated with cognitive decline and dementia risk, but the role of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology in its associations with medial temporal lobe (MTL) morphology remains unclear. We examined whether loneliness was related to total hippocampal volume, hippocampa...

Fertilizer regimes reshape microbial interaction networks without altering sugarcane rhizosphere diversity

Abstract. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), an economically important crop in the food and bioenergy industries, has historically played a central role in the economy of Cuba, shaping its agricultural landscape and international relations. Although production has declined in recent dec...

Decoding multiway gravitational junctions in AdS in terms of holographic quantum maps

A bstract It has been shown that multiway junctions gluing n copies of locally AdS 3 spacetimes ( n ≥ 2) can be described by n − 1 strings obeying non-linear Nambu-Goto equations coupled by Monge-Ampère like terms. Here we study how such junctions along with their stringy degrees...

Listening to children: Gendered beliefs about maths in socioeconomically contrasting Chilean kindergarten contexts

Several studies have acknowledged that listening to and interpreting the voices of young children in a non-controlling, precise, and respectful manner is a major challenge. This study presents qualitative data collection media inspired by the mosaic approach to explore young chil...

Alveolar bone loss and dentoalveolar remodelling in pre-Columbian human remains from northern Chile

Alveolar bone loss in archaeological human remains is a composite skeletal outcome influenced by biological ageing, occlusal function, compensatory eruption, antemortem tooth loss, and inflammatory destruction. Accordingly, cementoenamel junction–alveolar crest (CEJ–AC) distance...

Association between muscle quality index and time to stand up from the prone position in community-dwelling older adults

Both muscle strength and muscle quality are essential factors for preserving autonomy and functionality in older adults (OA). However, the relationship between muscle quality index (MQI) and the time to stand up from the prone position (SPP) in this population is unknown. The pri...

Resonance-Structure Collapse Enables Aromaticity-Controlled Design of Small Singlet-Fission Chromophore Candidates

Abstract Precise control of singlet and triplet excited-state energies is essential for identifying singlet-fission chromophore candidates, particularly in compact heteroarenes with competing resonance structures. Here, we show that heteroatom-controlled resonance-structure selec...

Roman conquest and Late Hellenistic resilience: the epigraphical case of Aemilius Paullus’ monument at Delphi (167–100 BC)

Abstract Building on recent studies of classical resilience, this article scrutinizes the second-century BC inscriptions on the monument of Aemilius Paullus at Delphi, erected in 167 BC. By analysing the epigraphic reuse of its surfaces, the article posits that the Roman pillar p...

Chronic Cortisol Exposure Reshapes Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression: Implications for Growth and Welfare in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Cortisol, the principal glucocorticoid in teleosts, coordinates the physiological response to stress by regulating metabolism, protein turnover, and growth. Although the molecular effects of acute cortisol exposure have been extensively characterized, the epigenomic mechanisms un...

Sociodemographic and Anthropometric Determinants of Body Dissatisfaction in a Sample of Spanish Adolescents: The EHDLA Study

Body dissatisfaction is prevalent among adolescents and linked to adverse outcomes. This study examined sociodemographic and anthropometric factors associated with body dissatisfaction in Spanish adolescents. Cross-sectional data from the Eating Healthy and Daily Life Activities...

Effects of Curcumin Supplementation on Inflammatory Biomarkers in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background/Objectives: Chronic low-grade inflammation contributes to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated randomized evidence on the effects of oral curcumin or curcuminoid supplementation on circulating inflam...

Mental Health and Psychological Constructs Related to Performance in Professional, Semi-Professional, and Competitive Adolescent Women’s Soccer Players: A Scoping Review

Background: Mental health has become a fundamental component of the sports world. Although previous studies have addressed psychological aspects of women’s soccer, no comprehensive review has mapped both mental health symptoms and adaptive psychological resources and psychophysio...

The General Intellectual Humility Scale in Argentina: Adaptation and Validation

This study presents the adaptation and validation of the General Intellectual Humility Scale (GIHS) for Argentina, addressing the scarcity of Spanish-language instruments measuring this epistemic virtue. A sample of 201 Argentinian adults ( M = 58.9, SD = 16.6; 70.6% female) comp...
