Tailoring Reactivity of Molecular Gallium Hydroxides via Chalcogen Bridging

Abstract We studied the influence of bridging chalcogen atoms (μ-E; E = S, Se) on the structure and reactivity of digallium dihydroxide complexes [{MeLGa(OH)}2(μ-E)] [E = S (4), Se (5); MeL = CH{CMe(NAr)}2–, Ar = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2]. Compounds 4 and 5 were synthesized from MeLGaCl2 an...

Nonlinear Responses of Anaerobic Methane Oxidation to Water Table Drawdown in Peatlands

Abstract Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) serves as a key methane (CH4) sink that attenuates methane emissions from peatlands. Climate change has induced widespread water table drawdown in peatlands, but the response of AOM to the water table depth (WTD) and the temperature s...

Perceived Responsibility and Capability for Smart Speaker Privacy Controls: A Cross-National Study in Germany and the UK

Smart speakers are popular assistants but require constant processing of voice data, thus, posing threats to users’ and bystanders’ privacy. While different privacy controls are available it is unknown who people perceive as responsible at the three stages conceptualization, impl...

Atomistic framework for glassy polymer viscoelasticity across twenty frequency decades

Glassy polymers are central to engineering applications, yet their viscoelastic response over broad frequency and temperature ranges remains difficult to characterize. We extend non-affine deformation theory by incorporating a time-dependent memory kernel within the generalized L...

The parent bodies of Ryugu and Ivuna formed before those of other carbonaceous chondrites

Most carbonaceous chondrite (CC) meteorites contain abundant chondrules, millimeter-scale spherical inclusions of previously molten material. Ivuna-type carbonaceous chondrites (CIs) do not contain chondrules, nor do samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu. CIs and Ryugu share...

The Infant and Toddler Curiosity Questionnaire: Dutch Translation and Validation

Curiosity and its role in learning and early cognitive development has received increasing attention in infancy research. So far, insights have largely focused on controlled lab-based experimental studies while less is known about individual differences in infants’ curiosity in e...

A contactless heat engine driven by nonreciprocal fluctuation-induced torques

We describe a contactless heat engine in which quantum and thermal electromagnetic fluctuations act as the working medium. The setup consists of two concentric cylinders held at different temperatures. The inner cylinder stably levitates within the outer one due to repulsive none...

Reproduction Kit for the Paper "The Right Cut: Interaction Data Slicing and its Effects on Keyboard Interaction Metrics"

This is the reproduction kit for the paper "The Right Cut: Interaction Data Slicing and its Effects on Keyboard Interaction Metrics". For understanding this readme, please consult the paper first. The reproduction kit contains: The raw DUX dataset (folders DUX_Dataset/DUX_autoque...

Real-time monitoring of CAR T cell dynamics in tumor patient-derived organoids using the OrganoIDNet algorithm

Abstract Background Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) provide physiologically relevant 3D tumor models for preclinical drug testing, yet robust and automated methods to quantify dynamic responses to immunotherapies remain limited. OrganoIDNet is a deep learning-based image analysi...

Modelling eCPR eligibility after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a 10-year retrospective temporospatial analysis from a mixed urban-rural region in Germany

Abstract Background Survival with good neurological function after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains low. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may benefit selected patients, but it is unclear how many patients in a mixed urban-rural European region woul...

Comparative Evaluation of Agronomic Traits in Various Vetch Genotypes

Abstract The present research, “Evaluating the agronomic performance of various vetch genotypes,” was conducted at the Fodder and Forage Crop Section at the National Agricultural Council (NARC), Islamabad, Pakistan. The basic objective of this trial was to compare the yield and r...

Maternal style does not predict infant growth and survival in wild Guinea baboons

Abstract Primate infants depend on their mothers for nursing, transportation, and survival, but also benefit from other behaviours such as contact, protection, and the mother serving as a model for social learning. During infancy, variation in maternal care (“maternal style”) can...

Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Social Behavior Alongside Neuroplastic Changes in a Tsc2 +/− Rat Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by altered synaptic connectivity and network organization, resulting in profound impairments in social communication and interaction. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) represents a...

Shift equivalence relations through the lens of C*-correspondences

Abstract We continue the study of shift equivalence relations from the perspective of C*-bimodule theory. We study emerging shift equivalence relations following work of the second-named author with Carlsen and Eilers, both in terms of adjacency matrices and in terms of their C*-...

Peroxiredoxin-6 protects against oxidative stress-mediated hypertrophic remodeling in JPH2-A399S knock-in mice

Background Most mutations causing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affect sarcomeric proteins. Mutations in junctophilin-2 (JPH2) are also implicated, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. An A405S variant in JPH2 was identified in a male adolescent patient with interven...

Nanobodies Equipped with HaloTag Enable Scalable Fluorescence-Lifetime Multiplexing

Abstract Fluorescence lifetime (FL) is a robust strategy for multiplexed imaging; however, variability in fluorophores’ local microenvironment when used on affinity probes broadens lifetime distributions, limiting its practical applicability. We create a modular platform for FL e...

Animal Individual Factors Dictate Learning Strategy: An Integrated Analysis of Cattle Adaptation to a Virtual Fencing System

Virtual fencing (VF) is a promising technology for pasture management, but its successful implementation depends on understanding the factors that influence the animal learning. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the significance of individual animal factors that affect...

Authenticity of scientific literature: analyzing the usage of hedging in adapted scientific literature

Abstract Adapted scientific literature (ASL) is increasingly used in educational contexts to make authentic science texts accessible to students. One hallmark of scientific writing is the use of hedging—linguistic means to express uncertainty or tentativeness. This study investig...

Public perception and segmentation of agricultural protests in Germany

Abstract Using Germany as a case study, this paper examines public perceptions of agricultural protests across different societal segments. Based on quota-representative survey data from 637 adult individuals collected in 2024, we employ factor and cluster analyses to identify di...

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the inf...
