Volatile depletion in rocky planets as a chemical fingerprint of hybrid accretion

Volatile depletion in rocky planets records their formation history. Earth and Mars grew through different hybrid pathways of pebble and planetesimal accretion, providing a new way to interpret the diversity of rocky planets beyond the Solar System.

Geroscience: A call for nursing engagement

BACKGROUND: To date, most work in the emerging field of geroscience has been conducted by basic scientists and geriatricians, rather than nurses. However, many of the fundamental mechanisms targeted by geroscience are influenced by a range of nursing-relevant factors. With a few...

Perspectives from Adolescents and Young Adults with ADHD: A Mixed Methods Study

The current study both qualitatively and quantitatively examined the advice recommendations of over 300 adolescents and adults with ADHD to other individuals with ADHD. This mixed methods study was conducted to examine this retrospective advice in order to help clinicians, schola...

Sexual frustration, low self-control, and cybercrime victimization: A survey analysis of U.S. adults

Research suggests that sexual frustration can increase people's willingness to engage in aggression, violence, or crime, but has not examined whether it also increases their risk of victimization. For this study, we examined the relationship between sexual frustration, low self-c...

A Systematic Review of Rates of Sexual Violence Victimization in Rural Populations in the US

People living in rural areas in the US may be at elevated risk to experience sexual violence victimization due to structural inequalities. However, our understanding of how often sexual violence occurs within these communities is limited. We conducted a systematic review to exami...

Navigating prestige variants across multiple dimensions

Abstract In this study, we examine which characteristics are routinely associated with linguistic variants, and how the sociolinguistic and societal landscape may influence the range of possible characteristics by analyzing realizations of /r/ and /w/ in Haitian Creole. In Haitia...

Individual vs Systemic: How Teaching Approaches to Improving Research Practices Impact Students’ Trust, Motivation, and Optimism About the Future?

Background The replication crisis and open science movement have raised questions about how to communicate these issues to psychology students. Early discussions framed solutions at both the individual (e.g., preregistration, open data) and systemic (e.g., incentive structures, n...

Top-Down Proteomics Analysis of pg-Level Cell Lysate Using Spray-Capillary CE-FAIMS-MS

Abstract Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) is a promising technique for ultrasensitive top-down proteomics due to its high resolution and sensitivity compared with traditional liquid chromatography (LC)-based methods. However, CE-MS-based top-down proteomics of...

Biopsychosocial determinants of positive mental health in older adults: a scoping review

Introduction: Positive mental health is essential to healthy aging, yet the factors shaping mental health among older adults in low- and middle-income settings remain insufficiently synthesized. This review examined the biopsychosocial determinants of positive mental health among...

Nested-Loop Control of DC/DC Converter Twins via a Novel Per-Unit and Time–Angular Transformation

The application of DC power electronics has expanded significantly across modern transmission and distribution systems, spanning medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) networks, as well as low-power DC supplies for nanoscale applications, in w...

Heme Peroxo Reaction Intermediates: Mimicking Biological Structure and Reactivity With Synthetic Model Systems

Heme enzymes are at the center of a mélange of salient transformations in biology, and for aerobic life, dioxygen binding and activation are by far the most critical. These enzymes typically channel through a panel of distinct heme-oxygen adducts, of which early- or mid-valent (i...

Heme Peroxo Reaction Intermediates: Mimicking Biological Structure and Reactivity With Synthetic Model Systems

ABSTRACT Heme enzymes are at the center of a mélange of salient transformations in biology, and for aerobic life, dioxygen binding and activation are by far the most critical. These enzymes typically channel through a panel of distinct heme‐oxygen adducts, of which early‐ or mid‐...

Mutation Cycles from Reddening Sequences

Abstract Given two quivers, each with a reddening sequence, we show how to construct a plethora of mutation cycles. We give several examples, including a generalization of the construction of long mutation cycles in earlier work by the second author. We also give new results on t...

Perceptions of Non-Sexual Workplace Harassment

Non-sexual workplace harassment (NSWH) is a prevalent issue, yet there is limited experimental research investigating how this harassment is perceived. In the present study, male and female participants (N = 242) read eight vignettes in which a supervisor insulted an employee. Pa...

Co-Designing Modular Training to Upskill Auto Technicians for Emerging EV Repair and Maintenance Challenges

Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly entering dealership service departments and independent repair shops, but training pathways for current automotive technicians have not expanded at the same pace. EV repair and maintenance require additional skills and knowledge related to...

A Machine-based Decision-maker Toward Benchmarking Interactive Multi-criterion Decision-making Procedures

Interactive multi-criterion decision-making (iMCDM) procedures allow decision-makers (DMs) to provide their preferences to create and compare alternative solutions in an iterative manner and finally arrive at the most preferred Pareto-optimal (PO) solution. Some iMCDM procedures...

The Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis III 2025 (HESPA III 2025): Process and Outcomes

The Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis III 2025 was conducted to update and validate the hierarchical model associated with the contemporary framework for the practice of health education specialists across work settings at entry and advanced levels. The purpose of thi...

Structural drivers of exhumation in compressional orogens: examples from western Nepal

Abstract. The magnitude and location of vertical uplift in fold-thrust belts is a function of the geometry, duration, and timing of faults and how these structures have evolved over time. Yet in the Himalaya, uncertainties persist in whether vertical uplift and exhumation are dri...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Associated Acute Kidney Injury

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have reshaped modern oncology by improving outcomes in multiple cancers. They function by enhancing T-cell–mediated antitumor immunity through the blockade of inhibitory pathways, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), th...

“Talk as if it doesn’t impact you”: Black TV journalist’s experiences covering BLM protests in the U.S.

This article explores the effects that covering Black Lives Matter protests had on Black TV journalists. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews with 14 Black journalists across the U.S., this study investigates their experiences covering BLM protests, as well as how supported...
