The Uniqueness of the Ground State and the Dynamics of Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Inverse Square Potential

Abstract. In this paper, we first provide an alternative proof of the uniqueness of the ground state solution for nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with inverse square potential and power nonlinearity [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] in dimensions [Formula: see...

Risk Factors for Estrogen Receptor Subtype‐Specific Contralateral Breast Cancer in Women Under Age 55 Years

Women with estrogen receptor negative (ER-) contralateral breast cancer (CBC) are 50% more likely to die of CBC compared to women with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) CBC. We comprehensively investigated risk factors for ER subtype-specific CBC using the Women's Environmental Ca...

Terminology for describing the 24-h cycle of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep: a scoping review

Abstract Background Physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep are three behaviours which occupy the 24-h cycle and interact to influence a multitude of health outcomes. Different terms are currently used to describe these behaviours collectively (e.g., movement behaviours...

G protein signaling capabilities at the bradykinin 2 receptor

The bradykinin 2 receptor (B2R) is one of two members of the kinin receptor family and is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that regulates important physiological processes including pain, inflammation, and cardiovascular homeostasis. Functionally, B2R is activated by the kinin...

Foundations of Radiation Safety & Radiobiology

This open textbook covers the foundations of radiation safety and radiobiology in medical imaging and radiation therapy. It is meant for undergraduate students in the radiation sciences.

Effect of time to palliative epilepsy surgery on outcomes

Abstract Objective Epilepsy duration is a modifiable risk factor in the outcome of definitive epilepsy surgery; however, an analogous effect in palliative procedures has not been shown. We reviewed the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Database data for an association between epilepsy d...

A systematic review of environmental factors in AI-based fall risk prediction models for community-dwelling older adults

Falls commonly occur in home environments, where conditions can increase fall risk. Identification and mitigation of environmental hazards are critical components of fall prevention. However, artificial intelligence (AI)-based fall prediction models have largely focused on indivi...

Individual differences in speech categorization and perceptual cue reliance across phonological contrasts

Individual listeners differ in how they map acoustic cues onto phonological categories, yet it remains unclear which aspects of categorization generalize across contrasts and how these relate to cue use. This study examines whether differences in speech categorization indices—cat...

Plasma wave observations from Juno spacecraft at the Jovian bow shock

Recent observations of Jupiter’s bow shock have provided new insights into the energy dissipation mechanisms associated with bow shocks of outer planets. At greater distances from the Sun, the typically increasing super-Alfvénic nature of the solar wind leads to higher-energy bow...
