The Dynamic Distribution in the Fixed Cost Model: An Analytical Solution

I derive an analytical solution to the Kolmogorov forward equation for a fixed cost model. This is a challenging PDE, because the dynamic distribution depends on the flow of resetting agents, which is endogenously determined by the distribution itself. I show there is a shortcut...

Revisiting the activate depress free and repeat (ADFR) paradigm: Clinical use of cyclic romosozumab

Abstract Summary Osteoporosis treatment does not normalize BMD. We hypothesized cyclic romosozumab dosing might provide greater BMD increases. Cyclic therapy (six romosozumab monthly doses then one denosumab dose) produced broadly similar BMD increases as previously reported for...

Assessing the Effects of Root Preparation Methods and Irrigation Strategies for Urban Tree Growth and Establishment

Drought and constrained municipal budgets are increasing demand for establishment practices that conserve water and labor. This study quantified trade-offs between inputs (water, labor, cost) and tree outcomes across irrigation methods and root-ball correction practices during es...

Special and General Educator Working Conditions During and After COVID-19

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 was highly disruptive to the ways in which students and teachers experienced school. While nearly all schools responded to the start of the pandemic by shifting to virtual instruction, the return to in-person and hybrid learning fo...

Pushing theLimits of Ultrasmall PbSe Magic-SizedClusters

Abstract Ultrasmall PbSe magic-sized clusters (MSCs) are important for probing the nucleation of nanocrystals and their optical properties under strong quantum confinement. The smallest PbSe MSC observed so far in the growth sequence has an absorption maximum at 625 nm. Here, we...

Characterizationof Dapalides D and E and GenomicComparison of the Two Co-Occurring Dapalide-Producing Dapis spp.

Abstract Marine cyanobacteria are a rich source of diverse bioactive natural products, targeting proteins involved in many diseases. Here, we combined metagenomic analysis to enhance the structure elucidation process of two new cyclodepsipeptides named dapalides D (1) and E (2) f...

Metal Oxide Chemical Looping Cycles for Coproduction of Hydrogen and Sulfuric Acid

ABSTRACT Hydrogen production via multi‐step thermochemical cycles may be an affordable, low‐carbon alternative to steam methane reforming or water electrolysis. Conventional thermochemical water splitting generates hydrogen while coproducing an oxidized product, oxygen, that has...

The institutional logic of news source selection in clentelistic media systems: A comparative study of Albania and Kosovo

This study examines source diversity in broadcast news in Albania and Kosovo’s hybrid clientelist media systems. Drawing on institutional theory, we explore how sourcing practices reflect competing logics of power, professionalism, and market pressures under conditions of uncerta...

Design of heat treatment and magnetic field-assisted machining for microstructure and surface corrosion control in Inconel 718

It has been demonstrated that Magnetic Field-Assisted Machining (MAM) has strong potential for improving surface quality and tailoring microstructure in hard-to-machine heat-treatable Inconel 718 (IN718). However, the influence of MAM on corrosion performance of IN718, particular...

3D chemotaxis chip for investigating natural killer cell migration mechanisms

Abstract Introduction Natural killer (NK) cells are a promising tool for cancer immunotherapy, as they can rapidly recognize and kill cancer cells without prior knowledge of tumor-specific antigens while leaving healthy cells unharmed. However, a major challenge in NK cell-based...

Liver Fat Changes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes by Presence of Genetic Hepatic Steatosis: A Post Hoc Analysis of SURPASS ‐3 MRI

ABSTRACT The patatin‐like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3) I148M genetic variant is highly associated with steatotic liver disease. In the SURPASS‐3 MRI substudy, tirzepatide significantly reduced liver fat content (LFC) versus insulin degludec in insulin‐naïve patients with type 2 diabe...

How High is the Bar? Pension Fund Benchmark Choices in Real Assets

Abstract This paper examines how defined benefit pension funds select and revise performance benchmarks for real assets, including private real estate, listed REITs, infrastructure, commodities, and natural resources. Using data from CEM Benchmarking, we document substantial hete...

Using a systematic review of youth and environmental youth participatory action research outcomes to create a modified implementation capacity framework

While youth participatory action research (YPAR), a youth-adult partnered or youth-led approach to knowledge generation and social change, has burgeoned over the last decade, challenges remain related to capacity for its implementation. Yet, the field lacks a YPAR implementation...

A reference genome and transcriptome of haustorial development in Pedicularis groenlandica reveal diverse trajectories of haustoria-associated gene evolution in parasitic plants.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Novel traits frequently evolve by co-opting existing genetic pathways through either the direct repurposing of existing genes or neofunctionalization of duplicated genes. Parasitism represents a major innovation in plants, in which a novel organ, the haustori...

Radiological Late Dental Adverse Effects Following Treatment for Paediatric Head and Neck Rhabdomyosarcoma: Results of a Transatlantic Multicentre Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Objectives Rhabdomyosarcoma represents the most common paediatric soft tissue sarcoma, with 40% occurring in the head and neck region. Given that survival rates now reach 80%, minimising late adverse effects, particularly dental developmental complications, has become a...

Place‐based risk: Examining relationships between adolescent perceptions of community risk factors and adolescent substance use across geographic contexts

Mixed evidence for the influence of structural and social factors on adolescent substance use behaviors exists across the rural-urban continuum. Therefore, this study explores how adolescent perceptions of structural and social community risk factors are associated with lifetime...

Comparison of training background and characteristics between osteopathic and allopathic team physicians in professional sports leagues

CONTEXT: Team physicians (TPs) play a critical role in professional sports, providing medical care for athletes under high-pressure conditions. These positions are highly competitive, influenced by previous affiliations, training pedigree, and institutional connections, with fell...

Methodological Approaches for Ultrasound Assessment of Peripheral and Abdominal Muscle Thickness in Intensive Care: A Scoping Review and Proposed Reporting Framework

ABSTRACT Objective To map and synthesize methodological approaches used for ultrasound (US) assessment of peripheral (upper‐ and lower‐limb) and abdominal muscle thickness in critically ill patients, and to propose a preliminary Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) as a structured...

The Pregnancy-Related Objectification Beliefs Scale (PROBS): Development and Validation of a Measure of Reproductive Objectification of Pregnant Women

A better understanding of reproductive objectification—people reducing pregnant women to reproductive objects—could have both theoretical and societal import, but no validated measures exist to examine this construct. The purpose of the present work was to develop and validate th...
