Geometry-enforced topological chiral fermions in amorphous chiral metals

Since the prediction and observation of topological Weyl semimetals (chiral TSMs), there have been enormous efforts to characterize further condensed matter realizations of chiral fermions. These efforts were dramatically accelerated by the subsequent discovery of a profound link...

The Composite Spectrum of QSO Absorption Line Systems in DESI DR2

Abstract We present details regarding a composite spectrum of quasar (QSO) absorption line systems. In this composite spectrum, we identify more than 70 absorption lines and observe oxygen and hydrogen emission features at a higher signal-to-noise ratio than any previous study. A...

Benchmarking a new urban scheme in the ORCHIDEE 2.2 land surface model

Urban areas change natural surface energy and water balances, yet some land surface models still represent cities as natural surfaces. In this study, we present the development of a one-tile urban scheme for the ORCHIDEE land surface model, designed to improve the representation...

Improved estimation of net ecosystem CO 2 exchange over North America using LSTM-based flux upscaling (2001–2021)

Accurate estimation of regional-scale terrestrial carbon budgets is of great importance but remains challenging. With particular advantages, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network method shows potential for improving regional carbon budget upscaling estimations. Here, using LS...

MOSAIC: Intra-tumoral heterogeneity characterization through large-scale spatial and cell-resolved multi-omics profiling

Understanding the tumor microenvironment has the potential to significantly advance precision oncology, but this effort has been hampered by the scarcity of consistent large data sets. Here, we introduce MOSAIC (Multi-Omics Spatial Atlas in Cancer), a multi-center clinical omics...

Genomic global epidemiology and evolution of Escherichia coli ST131 clade A

During the 2010s, Escherichia coli ST131 clade A tested sensitive to most antibiotics. In the 2020s, Europe experienced outbreaks of fluoroquinolone-resistant ST131-A that contained CTX-M β-lactamases and OXA-48-like carbapenemases. We investigated the acquisition of different an...

The robotic PIANO: a critical narrative review of surgeon-controlled operative polyphony, human factors, and robotic training

Abstract Robotic surgery can concentrate control of several technical functions at the console, but such concentration does not itself confer clinical independence, reduce dependence on the perioperative team, or improve patient outcomes. We define surgeon-controlled operative po...

Monitoring symptoms and performance in rehabilitation: Can we detect COPD exacerbation?

Background In patients with COPD, exacerbations mark disease progression, with significant reduction in quality of life and impact on mortality. Early detection is crucial to mitigate their consequences. The aim of this study was to investigate whether monitoring symptoms and exe...

Antibody-mediated immune surveillance as an organizing axis of gut microbiota structure

Abstract Background The symbiotic interplay between the immune system and the endogenous microbiome is essential for maintaining homeostasis. However, most microbiome research focuses primarily on associations between disease and microbial composition, often overlooking host–micr...

Antichains for Concurrent Parameterized Games

Concurrent parameterized games involve a fixed yet arbitrary number of players. They are described by finite arenas in which the edges are labeled with languages that describe the possible move combinations leading from one vertex to another (n players yield a word of length n)....

Thickness-Dependent Spintronic Terahertz Emission in Molecular Beam Epitaxy-Grown PtTe2: From Semiconductor to Type-II Dirac Semimetal

Abstract Spintronic THz emitters are the most practical broadband sources, but their performance is constrained by the spin Hall conductivity of the conversion layer. We show that PtTe2, a type II Dirac semimetal, overcomes this limitation through thickness-driven electronic phas...

Decline of chaperone-mediated autophagy in aging impairs macrophage clearance of senescent cells

Autophagy dysfunction and senescence are established drivers of aging, but their potential interaction remains poorly understood. Here we show that age-related decline of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a pathway for selective lysosomal protein degradation, changes senescent...

Farey neighbours, modular symbols and divergent geodesics

We give effective asymptotic counting results for pairs of Farey neighbours and for modular symbols in $\mathbb Q$, in imaginary quadratic number fields and in definite quaternion algebras over $\mathbb Q$, using the distribution of common perpendiculars between Margulis cusp nei...

Estimation of the relative effectiveness and waning of the monovalent third dose of COVID-19 vaccine against hospital admission in France: a novel self-controlled case series analysis.

We present a novel application of the SCCS method for estimating the effectiveness and waning of the third dose of COVID-19 monovalent vaccine in France. We used data on individuals hospitalised for COVID-19 between September 2021 and February 2022 from the Système National des D...

Leveraging Symbolic Artificial Intelligence and Fuzzy Logic for Materials Science: A Review of Methods, Challenges, and Applications to Scarce and Imperfect Experimental Data

This article explores the transformative potential of symbolic artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of materials science, particularly in leveraging experimental data. While state‐of‐the‐art methods like neural networks and statistical models face challenges with limited and...

A family of small proteins links c-di-GMP riboswitch signaling with sporulation in Clostridioides difficile

Abstract Cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a second messenger that coordinates lifestyle transitions, virulence, and developmental processes in bacteria. In Clostridioides difficile , elevated c-di-GMP levels inhibit sporulation, but the underlying mechanism remained...

Transarterial embolization in musculoskeletal care: an indication-stratified narrative review

Abstract Background Transarterial embolization (TAE) is increasingly used across a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, ranging from established hemostatic and tumor-related indications to emerging pain-directed procedures for degenerative joint disease and chronic infla...

Universal random matrix behavior of a Fermionic quantum gas

Since its initial use by Wigner in describing heavy atom spectra, random matrix theory (RMT) has found applications and revealed universal laws in diverse physical contexts, from quantum field theory to disordered systems and wireless communications. A particularly compelling app...

Adenyl cyclase 6 is an evolutionary conserved chief regulator of peripheral nerve development and timely myelination in vertebrates

Myelination of large caliber axons by Schwann cells and clustering of ion channels at the nodes of Ranvier enables electrical impulses to propagate rapidly along axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Although several in vitro studies have reported a role for the cyclic ad...

Toward the Use of Real‐World Data for Regulatory and HTA Decision‐Making: Experiences and Recommendations from Six EU ‐Funded Projects

Real-world data are increasingly important for regulatory and health technology assessment decision-making, yet their effective use across Europe remains limited by technical, methodological, regulatory, and societal challenges. Drawing on the experiences of six Horizon Europe pr...
