Orographic impacts of Réunion Island and Madagascar on heavy rainfall during Tropical Cyclone Batsirai (2022)

Abstract. During the passage of tropical cyclone (TC) Batsirai (2022), the mountainous regions of Réunion Island and the eastern part of Madagascar experienced devastating floods. TC Batsirai passed north of Réunion Island (minimum distance of ~210 km) before making landfall alon...

Leveraging human-trained neural networks for cross-species chromatin regulation annotations

Abstract Analogous to the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, the Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (FAANG) consortium has produced chromatin annotations for domesticated animals, albeit in smaller amounts. Although acquiring experimental data is more accessible...

Thermal signature of Sargassum aggregations from Landsat 9 observations.

Since 2011, Sargassum blooms in the Tropical Atlantic have led to massive strandings along coastlines, posing significant ecological, economic, and public health threats. A key research challenge is to improve our understanding of the environmental factors influencing Sargassum g...

Modeling of Diamond Trench Metal Oxide Semiconductor Barrier Schottky Rectifier Based on Dynamic Reverse Bias Simulation Framework

This work presents an electrothermal optimization study of diamond‐based trench metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifiers using mixed‐mode drift‐diffusion technology computer aided design simulations under quasi‐static and dynamic reverse‐bias conditions....

Six-fold reduction in ocean heat content estimate uncertainty since 1960

Abstract Ocean heat content (OHC) dominates Earth’s energy imbalance, but its uncertainty has not been fully understood. Here, we construct a Large-Ensemble to comprehensively quantify the OHC uncertainty from global to regional scales since 1955, and consider eight groups of err...

Oral health, oral follow-up and infectious risk management of rheumatoid arthritis patients on anti-TNF drugs: a survey of a French e-cohort

Abstract Background As periodontitis is a recognized risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it should be adequately treated before the initiation of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), along with any concomitant acute oral infection. bDMARDs remains a co...

Co-evolution of plants, livestock and farming practices during dairy farm transformation to agroecology: an in-depth case study in France

Agriculture contributes to and is impacted by global changes. Agroecology is recommended as a framework for transforming farming systems to address these challenges. However, research has not extensively documented transformations to agroecology, which could limit adoption by far...

Formal moduli problems and derived Lie algebras

We show that derived Lie algebras and restricted Lie algebras classify formal moduli problems on Artin divided power algebras and truncated algebras respectively. This article is part of the theme issue 'Derived Lie algebras in geometry and topology'.

Data-driven comparison of airline passenger flight supply using optimal transport theory

This study develops an optimal transport (OT) framework for measuring pairwise airline supply dissimilarity across heterogeneous route networks. By representing each airline as a distribution of seat capacity or flight frequency across routes and defining route-level transportati...

A 45-year high-resolution wave hindcast for the Fijian archipelago: mean climate, spectral characteristics, and long-term trends

Fiji’s coastal communities are highly exposed to ocean waves that drive erosion, inundation and shoreline change. Yet the Fijian archipelago lacks a comprehensive, wave-climate assessment at a resolution that represents island effects appropriately. To address this gap, we presen...

Re-opening to the world: recovery and trust

Background There is a lack of research on the experience of environmental influences and atmospheres in the recovery process of persons diagnosed with schizophrenia. So far, phenomenological approaches have only rarely been applied to study the connection between environmental ef...

Genetics in Heterotaxy: A Case Series and Literature Review on DNAH9 , PKD1L1 , MMP21 , and GDF1

Heterotaxy (HTX) is a rare condition characterized by complex congenital heart defects and a wide spectrum of extracardiac abnormalities that significantly impact survival. While molecular diagnosis is essential for clinical management, next-generation sequencing (NGS) currently...

Experimental validation of robust full-pose tracking for fully and overactuated multirotors

This paper presents a robust cascaded control architecture for fully actuated and overactuated multirotors. The proposed approachcombines Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion and structured H∞ control, and extends their application beyond underac-tuated platforms considered in...

Questioning the Evidence for Host-Symbiont Codiversification in Mycorrhizal Symbioses

Abstract The vast majority of plants form mycorrhizal symbioses. The ecological importance of these mutualistic interactions has sparked interest in their long evolutionary history. By examining interaction networks and phylogenetic trees, several studies have suggested that plan...

GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk: A Multi-Wavelength Study of a Nearby Underluminous Long GRB and SN with a Complex Afterglow

Abstract We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A / SN 2026fgk, a nearby (z = 0.153), long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an exceptionally underluminous prompt γ-ray emission and a Comptonized spectrum. The burst occurred at the edge of a blue host ga...

Systematic overestimation of evapotranspiration over irrigated areas by an offline land surface model

Abstract. Offline Land Surface Models (LSMs) are essential for a wide range of applications, including water resource management and agricultural planning. A critical variable in these models is evapotranspiration, but its value is easily biased in irrigated areas. In fact, irrig...

Seed-based functional connectivity of the anterior cingulate cortex and the posterior insula predicts placebo analgesia in Parkinson’s disease

Chronic pain affects up to 80% of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and remains difficult to treat. Functional brain connectivity can predict analgesic response in other conditions, but has not been explored in PD. To assess whether baseline resting-state functional connectivi...

Adherence to Biologics and Psycho-cognitive Factors in Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Multicentric Cross-sectional Study

Background/Objective: Adherence to treatment in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) remains poorly documented, with estimates ranging from 28.2% to 70.6%. Psychological factors may influence adherence. This study aimed to assess adherence to biological disease-modifying antirheumatic...

Effect of the WHO ICOPE prevention program on falls and mobility functions : a retrospective study in France

Abstract Background World Health Organization developed the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) prevention program in order to promote the maintenance of intrinsic capacities for older adults, based on six key domains. Each key domain is a risk factor for falls in older adul...
