Spatially Proximate but Culturally Distant: Language Hierarchies and Multicultural Education in Paraguayan Border Schools

Linguicism persists as a global education policy concern despite research on supporting linguistically marginalized students. This study examines tensions in a Paraguayan educational district located 80 kilometers from Brazil, where many residents identify as culturally Brazilian...

Reproducibility, Replicability, and Research Quality in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract Researchers from all sectors of homogeneous catalysis convened in response to concerns regarding reproducibility in science to analyze the issue and provide recommendations. In addition to an in-person workshop, the group engaged the broader homogeneous catalysis communi...

Patient‐Specific Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Airway Collapse in Infants With Robin Sequence

ABSTRACT Robin Sequence (RS) is a congenital condition in which patients experience dynamic, periodic obstruction or collapse of the upper airway due to an underdeveloped jaw and a posteriorly displaced tongue. Current clinical techniques for evaluating airway obstruction do not...

Long-term evaluation of kidney biopsy outcomes to guide continuous quality improvement

Abstract Background Kidney biopsy is essential for diagnosis and management but carries bleeding risks. Efforts to reduce bleeding may compromise tissue adequacy, highlighting the need to systematically evaluate biopsy performance. Understanding factors that influence both safety...

Three-million-year pulse: Pace and processes of Late Jurassic magmatism in the Sierra Nevada arc

Continental arcs commonly experience brief, high-flux magmatic pulses, and the Late Jurassic Sierra Nevada arc records one such event as a compositionally diverse magmatic system that includes highly silicic plutonic, hypabyssal, and volcanic rocks, associated cumulate gabbros, a...

Visions for the Future: Exploring the Perspectives of Upper-Secondary Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Families

Background: Transition from upper-secondary school is a significant milestone for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and represents a time of possibilities—including opportunities to pursue career interests in the job market or further education, deciding whe...

Metadata in Practice: Community Constraints, Institutional Conditions, and Human-Centered Innovation

Metadata practice is shaped not only by standards and technologies, but by the communities, institutional cultures, and material conditions in which decisions are made. This interactive session brings together two complementary perspectives from the University of Kansas. The firs...

Investigation of soil arching evolution in piled embankments with three-dimensional trapdoor tests

This study focused on the mobilisation and degradation of three-dimensional soil arching by adopting a matrix trapdoor test device with 144 individually and electrically controlled movable plates to simulate unreinforced piled embankments at different coverage ratios and fill hei...

Recapitulating In Vivo Pharmacokinetics and Size‐Dependent Nanomedicine Delivery in a Microfluidic Platform

Systemic pharmacokinetics critically govern nanomedicine delivery, yet conventional in vitro models fail to capture the dynamic interplay between circulation, clearance, and tumor transport. This limitation hinders accurate prediction of therapeutic performance. A microfluidic tu...

Cannabidioland Vitamin E Compromise the InterfacialStability of Model Lung Surfactant Lipid Monolayers by Altering TheirThermodynamic and Rheological Properties

Abstract The increasing number of cases of E-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) has raised concerns regarding their safe use, particularly because of the association of vaping additives with lung dysfunction. While the mechanisms by which vaping additi...

Neural mechanisms of sensory over-responsivity in youth with early caregiver-related adversity

Abstract Sensory over-responsivity (SOR) is an impairing sensory processing challenge prevalent across a range of clinical and neurodevelopmental populations, as well as those with experiences of early caregiver-related adversity. Despite its prevalence and impairing nature, litt...

Multi-sensor continuous-flow bioreactor for dynamic and scalable cell culture

Abstract Bioreactors are essential tools in tissue engineering and advanced cell culture because they provide dynamic environments that support cellular growth, organization and tissue maturation. However, most existing systems lack integrated real-time monitoring and feedback co...

Teamwork That Makes the Dream Work: Collaborating to Ensure Equity in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports for All

Implementing inclusive positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) requires collaborative teaming that centers on the needs of all students, including those with extensive support needs (ESN). In this article, we describe how schools can embed collaborative practices to...

Zooarchaeology of Houses and Middens: Investigating Patterns of Assemblage Composition at Early Inuit Sites Across the North American Arctic

ABSTRACT This study examines faunal assemblages from paired semisubterranean houses and middens at 10 Early Inuit sites spanning the North American Arctic (ca. 1200–1500 ce ) to evaluate whether local resource bases or other factors primarily structure zooarchaeological variabili...

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...
