Model Reference Adaptive Control for Net-Based Debris Towing

Tether-net-based debris removal missions are deemed promising, but the postcapture control of net-enveloped targets by a chaser is understudied. In fact, existing studies on postcapture control are limited to open-loop thrust control or to feedback controllers designed for simpli...

Schizophrenia research in 2026: report from the annual meeting of the Schizophrenia International Research Society

Abstract SIRS 2026, held under the theme “Schizophrenia Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” brought together researchers, clinicians, and persons with lived experience to take stock of a field whose tools for measuring, predicting, and intervening in psychosis have e...

Supercurrent-driven Néel torque in superconductor/altermagnet hybrids

We predict a supercurrent-driven Néel spin-orbit torque in a superconductor/$d$-wave altermagnet heterostructure, associated with the emergence of spin-triplet correlations. The effect can be understood as a consequence of the supercurrent-induced spin polarization, owing to the...

Talking and listening together in an adult language learning classroom: Classroom conditions that support dialogue

In this adult language learning study, we assert the importance of listening and contingent responding in classroom oracy practices, and we maintain that their consistent and respectful use in every day talk lays the groundwork for dialogue. In dialogue learners engage with diffe...

Generically constrained quantum isotropy

Let V be a finite-dimensional unitary representation of a compact quantum group \mathrm{G} and denote by \mathrm{G}_{W} the isotropy subgroup of a linear subspace W\le V regarded as a point in the Grassmannian \mathbb{G}(V) . We show that the space of those W\in \mathbb{G}(V) for...

Potential Role of Vitamin C in the Associations of Serum Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances with Bilirubin and Albumin in U.S. Adolescents and Young Adults: NHANES 2011–2018

Research on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and biomarkers potentially related to oxidative stress in adolescents is limited. We investigated associations between serum PFAS and total bilirubin and albumin among 1474 participants aged 12–20 years using National Health...

Decolonial lines of desire

Abstract Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed, Monique Wittig, Sylvia Wynter, Suzanne Césaire, and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson (Michi Saagiig), I offer an analysis of the relation between landscapes, bodies, desires, and academia. Of primary importance in developing these relations...

Scalable Gaussian Process for Learning Non‐Ergodic Ground Motion Model From Physics‐Based Simulations With Application to Power Infrastructure Assessment

ABSTRACT This study presents the development and application of a scalable non‐ergodic ground motion model (NGMM) for the Los Angeles area. The NGMM is trained and validated on physics‐based simulated ground‐motion data from a recent Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC)...

Schwann Cell‐Specific ATG7 ‐Dependent Autophagy Protects Myelin in a Mouse Model of Krabbe Disease

ABSTRACT Krabbe disease (KD) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by severe peripheral demyelination caused by mutations in galactosylceramidase (GALC), leading to the accumulation of galactosylceramide and psychosine. Although psychosine toxicity is central to KD pathol...

Decoupled Channel and Contact Modulation in α-In2Se3/ZrO2/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Dual-Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistor

Abstract Ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) utilizing either a ferroelectric dielectric (FeD) or a ferroelectric semiconductor (FeS) are highly promising for neuromorphic computing. While integrating FeD with emerging FeS could provide new degrees of freedom for syna...

Genetic Variants in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease: A Systematic Review and Targeted Meta‐Analysis Highlighting the RNF213 rs112735431

Background Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke and premature mortality, with higher prevalence in specific ethnic groups. Multiple studies have evaluated the association of ICAD and genetic variants. This study aims to systematically...

Serial Static Infrared Thermography for Intraoperative and Postoperative Surface-Temperature Monitoring of Free-Flap Skin Islands in Paediatric Craniofacial Reconstruction: A Technical Feasibility Study

Background/Objectives: This single-patient retrospective study evaluated the technical feasibility of serial infrared thermography (IRT) for intraoperative and postoperative surface-temperature documentation of free-flap skin islands and its descriptive concordance with clinical...

Active-Space Selection in Nonadiabatic Dynamics Simulations of Dense Manifolds of Excited States: When Local Diabatization Needs Great Care

Abstract Local diabatization (LD) propagates electronic amplitudes using time overlaps of adiabatic states and is robust to wave function phase arbitrariness, root character transport, and rotations within near-degenerate manifolds. However, when truncated dynamical bases are not...

Technology to remotely capture key elements of swallowing and speech: State of the science in Parkinson's disease

Swallowing and speech impairments are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and can significantly affect health and quality of life. Traditional methods for assessing and managing these functions rely on in-person visits and large, expensive equipment, which are inaccessible to many...

Mechanistic Study of a Thermal- and Light-Driven Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Transformation of an Organocerium Complex

Abstract In crystallo synthetic and analytical methods are remarkably effective for stabilizing and structurally characterizing otherwise reactive compounds, and elucidating transient intermediates in catalytic cycles. In this work, we investigate the mechanism of the ring-openin...

Forest and bioenergy expansion amplifies climate warming by accelerating regional cloud loss

Abstract. Land use and land cover change (LUCC) can exacerbate cloud-mediated climate warming. However, the long-term response of cloud cover to LUCC remains underexplored, particularly regarding differences between idealized and realistic forest expansion scenarios, as well as b...
