The Art of Printing [3D Engineering & Advanced Geometry]

There are sequences of actions that we repeat everyday. Among them is the printing action: print a numeric paper in pdf format and save it on your computer, or print it using a Xerox Machine or HP-printer. We found out we can do More: Let us Print in 3D Dimension, and investigate...

synkit: a toolkit to create syntactic representations in Typst

synkit is a Typst package for drawing syntax trees from bracket notation. It supports a wide range of features, including triangles, arrows, movement traces, multidominance, semantic annotation, cross-tree equivalence lines, and formatting options for quick adjustments. Trees can...

Development of a Photostable pH Biosensor Based on mStayGold

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) that are pH-sensitive play a crucial role in investigating pH-related cellular processes, such as endocytosis and exocytosis. Existing pH-sensitive FPs generated from Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP), such as superecliptic pHluorin (SEP...

Beyond Diagnosis: Structural Stigma, Trauma, and Mental Health Among People Living with HIV in Tunisia: A Narrative Review

HIV-related stigma constitutes a critical structural determinant that adversely affects mental health and treatment outcomes among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Tunisia. Rooted in cultural conservatism, legal criminalization, and institutional discrimination, this stigma engen...

SynBio 8.0: A Portrait of a Growing Canadian Ecosystem

The 8th edition of the Annual Canadian Synthetic Biology Symposium (SynBio 8.0) was hosted at the University of Waterloo from June 15 to 17th. It brought together around 140 attendees from across Canada, as well as international participants. Organized by the Waterloo Centre for...

Interpretable control rules derived from model predictive control for real-time control in stormwater management

Real-time control of stormwater systems improves flood resilience, yet optimization-based methods, such as model predictive control (MPC), remain difficult to implement due to high computational demands and limited operational transparency. As a result, cities continue to rely on...

Germline variants affect lung-to-tumor transcription dynamics and NSCLC outcomes

The influence of germline genetics on the molecular transition from lung to tumor and different transcriptional patterns of tumors remains underexplored. Additionally, little is known about the genetic contributions to lung cancer relapse and mortality following surgery. The tran...

A Chromosome-level Genome Assembly of the Potato Leafhopper Empoasca fabae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

ABSTRACT The potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris, 1841), is a highly polyphagous, migratory insect pest of eastern North America that feeds on more than 200 herbaceous and woody plant species, causing substantial losses to forage and field crops. Despite its agricultural an...

Equivalent Numeric Approved Identity of Passport and Immigration Papers -- The Next Generation Identification Program (NGI) [A Short Introduction]

We express an interest to Equivalent Numeric Approved Identity of Passport and Immigration Papers. [We are making a submission to the Journal of Banking and Financial Technology].

Nuclear mitochondrial sequences in great ape Telomere-to-Telomere genomes

Mitochondrial sequences have integrated into the nuclear genome since the origin of eukaryotes. Recent insertions that retain homology to extant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), termed NUMTs, confound mtDNA sequence analysis. Here, we use great ape Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) genomes to...

Chromosomal integration of a bcrRABD-carrying integrative and conjugative element increases bacitracin resistance in Clostridium perfringens following restrictions in antimicrobial use in Canadian broiler chickens

Abstract Background In response to the threat of antimicrobial resistance, the Chicken Farmers of Canada banned the prophylactic use of Category II antimicrobials in 2018, thereby increasing the reliance on bacitracin to prevent necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. This study...

“As soon as it’s trying to be persuasive, my skepticism kicks in”: A qualitative study to co-design vaccine communication strategies with vaccine hesitant adults in Canada

Vaccine hesitancy continues to impede vaccine uptake in Canada. Few interventions directly engage hesitant adults in co-designing communication materials. This study aimed to co-develop and evaluate digital vaccine communication messages with hesitant adults in Canada to improve...

Richardson–Gaudin states of non-zero seniority. III. The perfect-pairing limit

Strongly correlated electrons can be treated with a configuration interaction of Slater determinants grouped by their number of unpaired electrons with exponential cost. Papers I and II [P. A. Johnson, J. Chem. Phys. 162, 134106 (2025) and P. A. Johnson, J. Chem. Phys. 163, 08110...

Dr. Tsai et al reply

We appreciate the interest of Drs. Wang and Qu¹ in our work,² and their call for more family-friendly metrics to help convey meaningful quality of life improvements in juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA). After considering the different ideas suggested in t...

Building a Stack for Systems Deployment

We are introducing few lines of methodology to start building Models & Systems for Deployment. We start first with Asana Platform and the Automated Fact-Checker [here]. More Collaboration Invitation will be sent to participate in the project.

Freeze–thaw durability and service-life prediction of PBO and carbon UHP-FRCM systems

Commercial fiber–reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems suffer from early matrix cracking, permeability, and fabric–matrix debonding. Novel ultra–high–performance (UHP) cementitious matrices were developed and incorporated into polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO) and c...

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

ABSTRACT Plasmodium falciparum parasites cause the most virulent form of malaria, a disease that remains a major global health burden. The appearance of resistance to first line artemisinin‐based therapies emphasizes the need to identify new parasite vulnerabilities to develop ne...

Data-driven mapping of known and novel fluid biomarker progression profiles in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration

Abstract Introduction Recent proteomic studies have identified both established and novel proteins in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). However, it remains unclear at what point in the disease these proteins deviate from normal levels and how their trajectories re...

Exploring the supply chain resilience of food banks: a dynamic capabilities perspective

Purpose While supply chain resilience (SCR) has been extensively studied in for-profit contexts, nonprofit supply chains (NPSCs) remain underexplored. Drawing on dynamic capabilities theory (DCT), this study aims to investigate how food banks enact and integrate resilience capabi...

Bank Systems

We are introducing the Axiomatization Framework of Bank Systems. Some theorems are completed about Housing, and other Assets Management.
