State-of-the-Art Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Systems Technology: Survey and Recommendations for Effective Deployments

Abstract In 2023, the World Health Organization reported approximately 1.19 million road traffic deaths annually, with over half involving vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) systems promise to improve pedestr...

Cognitive Workload Assessment in Procedural Tasks

Objective To examine how task anomalies and time pressure influence cognitive workload in procedural tasks and to identify whether workload effects are transient or sustained. Background Procedural tasks often involve sequential actions for which disruptions, such as operational...

Milvexian with Antiplatelet Therapy after Acute Coronary Syndrome Event

BackgroundPatients are at increased risk for recurrent ischemic events after an acute coronary syndrome event. Milvexian, an oral factor XIa inhibitor, may reduce the risk of major adverse clinical events with minimal bleeding risk. MethodsIn this phase 3, randomized, placebo-con...

Using the Diffusion of Innovations Theory to Explore U.S. Horticultural Industry Stakeholders’ Adoption of Alternative Substrates

Peat is commonly used in container substrates; however, concerns about reliance on imported products, inconsistent availability, and environmental sustainability are increasing growers’ interest in transitioning to alternative soilless substrates. Several studies have explored gr...

Peer Talk in the Preschool Classroom: Are the Experiences of Children With Language Difficulties Distinctive?

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine peer verbal interactions in the form of incoming and outgoing talk for children with language difficulties in preschool classrooms relative to their classmates. In addition, verbal interactions with teachers was also exami...

Genome report: Genome sequence of Phymata mystica (Evans), an ambush bug

Recent advances in sequencing technology have made the sequencing of non-model organisms significantly more streamlined and feasible. Using these technologies, we begin to address the lack of data on non-model organisms, by sequencing the genome of one such species, Phymata mysti...

No Validity Without Reliability: Measurement in Relationship Science, 1994–2024

ABSTRACT Measurement reliability is necessary for validity and foundational to theory, inference, and cumulative knowledge in relationship science, yet concerns about questionable measurement practices persist. We examined long‐term trends in measurement reliability and reporting...

Quantitative Analysis of Automatically Segmented Perivascular Space in Subcortical White Matter of Parkinson’s Disease: Its Clinical Relevance

Objective: To examine the relationship between automatically quantified perivascular space (PVS) extent located in the subcortical white matter (WM), baseline motor deficits and cognitive function, as well as longitudinal motor and cognitive outcomes in patients with Parkinson's...

Structural Heart Interventions in Women with Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract Purpose of Review To provide a review of current transcatheter interventions in women with congenital heart disease, with a focus on sex-specific considerations in diagnosis, management, and follow-up. Recent Findings As the field of pediatric cardiology advances and pat...

Corticosterone Concentration Varies With Metabolic Rate in Vertebrates

ABSTRACT Characterizing the adaptive or maladaptive effects of physiological stress based on glucocorticoid hormone levels remains a challenge in vertebrates. It remains unclear to what extent these measures capture the multi‐dimensional nature of physiological stress, how to com...

The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Youth’s Mental Health: What is the Role of Family Resilience?

Abstract Given that many adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are family-contextual and that family processes shape youth mental health, the current study examined the role of family resilience in the relationship between ACEs and major mental health outcomes among youth aged 6–1...

The importance of classifying central hypopneas: a call to action

Obstructive and central sleep apnea share pathophysiologic features and often coexist within individual patients. There is general agreement on the criteria for scoring obstructive and central apneas but less guidance and clarity on how and when to classify obstructive and centra...

Microscopic view of materials properties of liquids: An atomic scale perspective

Microscopic understanding of liquid properties is essential for advancing a wide range of applications from energy applications such as nuclear reactors and batteries to biomedical applications including drug delivery and microfluidics. However, intrinsic dynamic disorder and lac...

Transferable Optimization Network for Cross-Domain Image Reconstruction

Abstract. We develop a novel transfer learning framework to tackle the challenge of limited training data in image reconstruction problems. The proposed framework consists of two training steps, both of which are formed as bilevel optimizations. In the first step, we train a powe...

Spatiotemporal controls on soil organic carbon stocks in subtropical grazing lands: An uncertainty-aware digital soil mapping approach

Accurate spatial quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and their associated uncertainties is vital for climate mitigation and sustainable grazing management. However, regional SOC mapping remains challenging due to complex soil–landscape interactions, dynamic environ...

Species-specific prophage induction by ciprofloxacin in human gut metagenomes

ABSTRACT Antibiotics are known to trigger prophage induction in controlled laboratory settings, but it remains unclear whether this also occurs within microbiomes in nature. Current methods investigating the link between antibiotics and prophage induction within the human gut rel...

Exercise addiction, social interaction, and the moderating effects of disordered eating among adults aged 18–35

Physical exercise is beneficial to physical health and social well-being. However, with extreme volumes, exercise may lead to addiction symptoms comparable with substance use and gambling disorders. Social dysfunction is a crucial element that constitutes exercise addiction (EA),...

A generalized algorithm for inferring wildfire evacuation decisions and departure times using large-scale mobile device location data

Understanding wildfire evacuation behavior is essential for effective disaster planning, yet current approaches often rely on event-specific methods that limit broader applicability. This paper proposes a generalized algorithm for inferring wildfire evacuation decisions and depar...

Sex‐Specific Multidecadal Growth of Red Drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) in Relation to Environmental Drivers and Oil Spill Events in the Gulf of America

ABSTRACT Environmental drivers and stochastic events, such as hurricanes and oil spills, can potentially affect the growth of red drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) and hence their fisheries productivity. We assessed multidecadal changes in their growth using otolith sclerochronology,...

“There’s No Greater Feeling”: Empowerment and Achievement Through Neurodivergent Co-Design

Extended reality (XR) technologies, including virtual reality (VR), have long been investigated as tools to support autistic and other neurodivergent individuals, yet much of this work has prioritized researcher-defined outcomes over the lived experiences of neurodivergent users....
