Carcinogenic mechanisms in penile cancer: HPV, inflammation, and other pathways
Objective: Penile cancer, though rare, carries profound clinical and psychosocial consequences. Its diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages, leading to mutilating surgeries and severe impairment in quality of life. Approximately 95% of penile malignancies are squamous cell carc...

Problems of code: ethnographic encounters with the Amazon Forest as a computational model
As environmental issues become increasingly datafied, computer code is becoming more important to the quotidian work of earth system scientists. Not only has code become central to their knowledge practices, it has become a way in which social relations travel through global know...

Edge effects on the pressure drop through triply periodic minimal surface heat exchangers
Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) geometries offer significant potential for compact, high-performance heat exchangers, but confinement-induced edge effects in small-scale test articles can distort the measured pressure drop and its extrapolation to full-scale performance. T...

On the convergence of trajectory statistical solutions
Abstract In this work, a recently introduced general framework for trajectory statistical solutions is considered, and the question of convergence of families of such solutions is addressed. Conditions for the convergence are given which rely on natural assumptions related to a p...
