Metocean-stats v1.2: An open-source framework for reproducible and actionable metocean data analysis

Metocean analyses are fundamental to offshore and coastal engineering, maritime operations, and renewable energy development, where reliable estimates of winds, waves, currents, sea level, and related variables are required for structural design, safety assessment, and operationa...

It depends on the question: How survey format shapes the measurement of public attitudes to carbon capture and storage in Norway

Public attitudes towards emerging, technically complex climate technologies are difficult to measure with standard closed-ended items. When an issue is unfamiliar and low in salience, closed formats may invite low-effort, weakly held answers that mask uncertainty and ambivalence....

New species from the cradle of biodiversity inventories: cryptic diversity within Lamellariinae in the European Atlantic and Mediterranean (Gastropoda: Velutinidae)

The Mediterranean, despite a long tradition of naturalist observation dating back to Aristotle, is still home to undisclosed cryptic species complexes. The gastropod subfamily Lamellariinae d’Orbigny, 1841 (Velutinidae Gray, 1840) is composed of benthic sea slug-like species with...

Validation of a Pre-CS1 Concept Inventory

As programming has become a prominent component of K–12 education in large parts of the world, incoming university students increasingly enter higher education with prior programming experience. To inform instructors of how far students have already progressed into the introducto...

Improved Existence Time for the Whitham Equation and a Whitham–Boussinesq System

Abstract. In this paper, we investigate the time of existence of the solutions to two full dispersion models derived from the water waves equations in the shallow water regime: the Whitham equation and a Whitham–Boussinesq system in dimensions one and two. The regime is character...

Seasonal presence, movements and behaviour of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) in Isfjorden, Svalbard

Abstract Atlantification is increasing the inflow of warm, salty Atlantic water into the Arctic region. The fjords on the western coast of Svalbard are experiencing Atlantification, enabling boreal species, such as Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ), to expand their distribution north...

New and emerging therapeutics and molecular targets for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

INTRODUCTION: Attention‑deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined by persistent, impairing, and developmentally inappropriate patterns of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity. ADHD is a multifactorial, partially heritable and polygenic disorder, involving multiple...

Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for unresectable cholangiocarcinoma: a single-centre retrospective cohort study with patient interviews

BACKGROUND: This study assessed biliary drainage durability, survival, and patient experiences following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) plus stenting for palliation in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). METHODS: Ten...

A Meta-Organizational Perspective on Membership Logics in Transnational Municipal Networks

Abstract Much of the literature on Transnational Municipal Networks (TMNs) emphasizes that such networks are established to address shared challenges and to resolve collective action problems. This literature often implicitly assumes that the same rationale also explains sustaine...

Nicotinamide Riboside for Patients With Early-Stage Parkinson Disease

Importance Nicotinamide riboside, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide precursor, has been proposed as a potential disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson disease based on preclinical and early studies. Whether prolonged oral nicotinamide riboside improves clinical outcomes in Par...

Combining TAG ‐ 72CAR with anti‐ MUC16CAR improves the potency of ovarian cancer treatment

Ovarian cancer (OC) is typically associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy offers a promising strategy, yet its application in solid tumours remains constrained by limited efficacy and on‐target/off‐tumour toxicities. We pre...

Targeting food addiction through an intensive energy-reduced Mediterranean diet lifestyle intervention: evidence from the 3-year PREDIMED-plus trial

Food addiction (FA) has been proposed as a behavioural phenotype linked to obesity, potentially influencing adherence and response to lifestyle interventions. Its role within long-term, multicomponent weight-loss programmes remains unclear. This study evaluated the impact of an i...

Mitochondrial transcript abundance in breast cancer circulating tumour cells may reflect both blood-derived transcripts and biological heterogeneity

Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are rare cells frequently profiled on a single cell level. A key indicator of single-cell transcriptome quality is the percentage of reads encoded by genes in the mitochondrial genome (MT-reads). No systematic data exists on MT-reads content in CTC...

Socioeconomic inequalities in catastrophic expenditures for hypertension management in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to explore the socio-economic inequalities in Ghana's catastrophic expenditure on hypertension management. METHODS: We used data from our catastrophic health expenditure survey (CHE), which was conducted in two primary health care facilities in...

A data-driven solving strategy based on a greedy optimization algorithm for the analysis of nonlinear beam structures

In the last decade, data-driven computational mechanics (DDCM) has emerged as a novel paradigm in computational mechanics, enabling the direct use of constitutive data — such as stress–strain pairs obtained from experiments, without relying on ad-hoc material models and thereby a...

An interpretable Day-1 machine-learning model for COVID-19 mortality and severity prognosis: development in a Pakistani hospital cohort and external evaluation in Chinese and Italian populations

Early risk stratification of COVID-19 patients at admission informs triage and resource allocation, particularly in low- and middle-income settings where intensive-care capacity is constrained. Most published models are not interpretable, rarely externally validated, and develope...

Insensitivity to skin pain, tickling, and spicy food in a woman with a pathogenic NAA10 variant: a case report

Abstract Background The NAA10 gene on the X chromosome encodes NAA10, the catalytic subunit of the N-terminal acetyltransferase complex NatA, which co-translationally acetylates nearly half the human proteome. From the variety of NAA10 substrates, one would surmise that the pheno...

Fathoming Synthesis Strategies for Rare-Earth-Metal Trimethyl Compounds

Abstract The synthesis of alkali-metal-free compounds [LnMe3]n is scrutinized using two distinct protocols. The donor-promoted cleavage of homoleptic tetramethylaluminate complexes Ln(AlMe4)3 proves rare-earth metal (Ln) size-dependent and gives access to [LnMe3]n (small to midsi...

The LOLland offshore Lidar EXperiment (LOLLEX): a novel observational approach for the study of wind farm flow and entrainment

Vertical momentum entrainment is driven by vertical shear and turbulent mixing and plays a key role in the recovery of wind turbine and wind-farm wakes, but remains poorly documented by field measurements. The LOLland offshore Lidar EXperiment (LOLLEX) campaign introduced a novel...

Sense of coherence and rehabilitation outcomes: a 3-year longitudinal study

OBJECTIVES: To examine Sense of Coherence over a 3-year period and investigate whether baseline levels and changes in Sense of Coherence are associated with rehabilitation outcomes. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: Patients accepted for specialized rehabilitation...
