Colonia Proletaria Felipe Pescador: A Study in the Politics and Property of a Mexico City Settlement, 1940–78

Abstract This paper tells the story of Felipe Pescador, a neighbourhood born of an occupation of railway lands by railway employees in Mexico City’s industrial corridor. Across disciplines, a rich literature on Latin America has critically examined housing struggles among margina...

Spin Manifolds in the [Fe4S4(SCH3)4]2– Cluster from Localized Active Space State Interaction Singles and Pair-Density Functional Theory

Abstract Iron–sulfur clusters play central roles in biological photosynthesis, respiration, and catalysis. The [Fe4S4(SCH3)4]2– cluster possesses a dense manifold of low-lying electronic states arising from strong magnetic interactions among the Fe centers, making its electronic...

Clonal Hematopoiesis Risk Score

The Clonal Hematopoiesis Risk Score (CHRS) stratifies patients with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) or clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) into three different risk categories: low-risk (88.4%), intermediate-risk (10.5%), and high-risk (1.1...

A Preconditioned Augmented Lagrangian Method for Solving Semidefinite Programming Problems

In this work, we propose a preconditioned augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) for solving semidefinite programming (SDP) problems. The preconditioner is implemented via a weighted penalty function in the ALM subproblem, with the weight matrix derived from the projection operator on...

Magneto-mechano-electrochemical fiber for deformation-resilient and smart electronic textiles

Electronic textiles represent a transformative platform for integrating technology into daily wear, yet their development has been undermined by a fundamental challenge: the conflicting requirements between mechanical deformation for functionality and structural stability for per...

A short note on differential equations and on Geometry

A short note on differential equations. We add some lines of interest about Some topics in Geometry.

Condensation Sink Efficiency of Atmospheric Particles Regulated by Their Chemical Compositions and Hygroscopicity

Abstract Condensation sink (CS) from atmospheric pre-existing particles is a crucial limiting factor for the occurrence of new particle formation (NPF). However, intense NPF events occur frequently in polluted urban areas despite high CS levels. Here, to address this discrepancy,...

Dose-Escalated Focal Salvage High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy and Genomic Classifier Risk Stratification in Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer: The F-SHARP Phase I/II Clinical Trial

Purpose Prospective data on the management of intraprostatic radiorecurrence (IPR) after definitive radiotherapy (RT) and use of genomic classifiers (GC) in this setting are limited. We hypothesized that dose-escalated focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (DE-fsHDR) would b...

Short Communication on Email Management Systems

We present the opportunity to Manage Emails with More in-depth Computing Systems. Many options and examples are of interest.

A self-adaptive tube restraint for free-energy calculations along path collective variables

Path collective variables reduce a high-dimensional transition to a progress coordinate, s, and an orthogonal distance, z. Computing the free energy along s often requires restraining z, so that sampling embraces a tube centered on the reference path. However, a conventional fixe...

Quantitative CT in the real-world evaluation of progressive pulmonary fibrosis; the REVISE PPF multicentre observational study

Abstract Rationale and Objective We assessed whether an FDA-cleared quantitative CT (qCT) tool (Brainomix, e-Lung) identifies progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) earlier than routine clinical diagnosis and evaluated the prognostic value of baseline and serial imaging biomarkers....

Machine Learning on Heterogeneous, Edge, and Quantum Hardware for Particle Physics

The next generation of particle physics experiments will face an era of challenges in data acquisition, due to unprecedented data rates and volumes along with extreme environments and operational constraints. Harnessing these data for scientific discovery demands real-time infere...

Empirical Research on Criminal Record Expungement: A Critical Review

Many jurisdictions have sought to mitigate hurdles faced by people with criminal records by allowing those records to be expunged (or sealed). Expungement eliminates most legal restrictions triggered by records, and policymakers hope it could also improve access to employment and...

The Importance of Nanoscale Phenomena in Electrolyte Behavior: Acetonitrile-Aqueous Zinc Sulfate Electrolytes

Abstract Electrolytes composed of mixed solvents are of significant scientific and technological importance in lithium-ion and beyond-lithium-ion batteries, and more broadly across physical chemistry. Their emergence has highlighted the importance of multiscale phenomena, particu...

Faculty Development Workshops to Mitigate Biased Language and Enhance Quality in Medical Student Narrative Assessments

Introduction Narrative assessments are increasingly important in medical education, especially following the transition of USMLE Step 1 to pass/fail. However, these assessments are often of variable quality and may contain subjective language, potentially impacting career opportu...

Vertical Excitation Energies in Solution via a Two-Time-Scale Solvation Model Coupled to Pair-Density Functional Theory

Abstract Calculations of many electronically excited states in solution require both a multiconfigurational treatment of the solute and an efficient treatment of solvent effects. Multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) and its multistate, linearized extension...

Caregivers in a Haystack? Informatics‐Driven Clinical Trial Enrollment of Dementia Caregivers at Medical Visits

BACKGROUND: Caregiving status is not routinely documented during clinical care, rendering caregivers difficult to identify for research and supportive interventions. We describe two informatics-based strategies for identifying dementia caregivers at their own or their care recipi...

International Prognostic Scoring System for Mastocytosis

The International Prognostic Scoring System for Mastocytosis (IPSM) risk score is prognostic of survival outcomes for patients with non-advanced and advanced systemic mastocytosis. The IPSM score for non-advanced systemic mastocytosis is based on age and alkaline phosphatase leve...

Mapping the Molecular Universe

Abstract The success of large-language-models highlighted the importance of datasets, whose quantity, quality, and diversity dictate the accuracy and creativity of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in learning and inferring. However, in scientific domains, such datasets requir...
