Variation in Young Children’s Preschool Language Environments: The Role of Classroom Social Networks

Reasearch findings: Young children’s verbal interactions with teachers and peers in preschool settings are a key mechanism for development. Evidence suggests individual differences in children’s access to verbal interactions with teachers and peers in the classroom, yet such evid...

Diagnostic Methods for Detecting Dental Cracks: A Systematic Review

Background: Dental cracks are a common yet diagnostically challenging condition due to their asymptomatic clinical nature and difficulty in early detection. Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent crack progression and potential tooth loss; however, no universally accepted dia...

Evaluating Mechanical-EmbeddingML/MM for PredictingMutation Effects in Chorismate Mutase Catalysis

Abstract Predicting how mutations alter enzyme catalysis remains a central challenge in enzymology and enzyme engineering. Although quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations can in principle compute the activation free energy associated with enzymatic reactions, t...

EFECT enables reliable and reproducible stochastic simulations across disciplines

Stochastic simulations underpin computational research in fields from systems biology and epidemiology to finance and physics-informed machine learning, yet their reproducibility is hard to quantify because each run yields different outcomes. Existing practices to improve computa...

Hybrid Work For Three Generations: A Case Study on Communication in an A&D Firm

As the hybrid work model evolves, architecture and design firms are experiencing the benefits and challenges of this way of working. This case study examines designers’ perceptions of collaborating on projects in a hybrid workplace across three generational cohorts: Baby Boomers,...

Hospital-Level Variations in Outcomes and Readmissions Among Patients With STEMI and Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Mechanical Circulatory Support: Insights From a National Cohort.

BACKGROUND: The utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased substantially in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether the spectrum of MCS de...

Insights for the substance use disorder care continuum: findings from a qualitative study with sexual and gender minority individuals who use methamphetamine

Abstract Background Methamphetamine use continues to disproportionately affect sexual and gender minority (SGM) communities and is associated with physical, mental, and sexual health harms, including heightened HIV vulnerability. While prior epidemic waves have been well document...
