From Word-of-Mouth to Word-of-Machine: Examining AI-Generated Travel Recommendations Through the Word-of-Machine (WOMa) Perspective

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in travel planning, yet limited research has examined how travelers evaluate AI-generated travel recommendations as an information source. This study examines travelers’ evaluations and behavioral intentions toward such...

Clustering effects on the Dark Siren determination of H 0: A simulation study

Abstract We investigate the cosmological power of gravitational wave (GWs) events without electromagnetic counterparts using high-resolution, cosmological simulations that include realistic clustering. We assume a near-future detector network (LVK + LIGO India in O5), with sky lo...

Effects of STAMP Techniques and Conventional Carving on Marginal Adaptation of Class I Composite Resin Restorations: An In Vitro Study

Background: Accurate reproduction of occlusal anatomy is a critical determinant of the clinical performance of posterior composite restorations. The present study compares marginal adaptation in Class I composite restorations completed using a Kool-Dam STAMP, a flowable-composite...

Ionic gel-mediated synthesis of nanostructured chiral 2D halide perovskites with amplified chiroptical response

Abstract Chiroptical properties in metal halide perovskites typically arise from asymmetric crystal structures induced by chiral organic molecules during synthesis or chiral additives. However, the synthesis of two-dimensional chiral halide perovskites with sufficiently high diss...

What Survivors Remembered: Cognitive and Experiential Themes in Trauma Narratives From the Deadliest Mass Shooting in Modern American History

This study examined cognitive and experiential patterns in the trauma narratives of 42 survivors (74% women; M age = 42.1) of the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. We conducted a codebook thematic analysis of written narra...

SurfaceProton ReservoirsConstrain Alkalinity Exportfrom Enhanced Weathering

Abstract The addition of silicate and carbonate materials to soils (enhanced weathering) is a proposed carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy with potential agronomic co-benefits, especially for soil pH management. However, alkalinity from mineral dissolution interacts with the su...

Simulating exciton transport with complex absorbing potentials

We introduce a stochastic framework based on complex absorbing potentials (CAPs) to investigate exciton transport in large molecular aggregates. Within this framework, CAPs act as non-Hermitian reservoirs and sinks, enabling an effective assessment of transport efficiency. We app...

2D hydrodynamical simulations of Be star decretion disc formation through boundary layer effects

Abstract Be stars are massive main-sequence stars rotating close to their breakup rate. They possess a decretion disc of material built up due to mass loss from the star, however, there is not a consensus to the mechanism responsible for the formation of the disc because of their...

Insecticide resistance profile and efficacy of next-generation LLINs against pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.l. in M’bé, central Côte d’Ivoire

Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) combining pyrethroids with synergists or partner insecticides represent the next-generation tools for controlling malaria transmitted by resistant vectors. Because of their differing modes of action, their deployment in a given area would req...

Forecasting Visitor Activity in a Historic Urban District: A Machine-Learning Framework for Destination Management

Historic urban districts face growing challenges in balancing visitor activity with the needs of residents, local businesses, accessibility, and mobility. This study investigates whether short-term visitor forecasts can support destination management and planning in these complex...

Availability and Quality of Electronic Health Record Data to Track Physical Function Across a Care Transition

ABSTRACT Introduction Physical function (PF) is critical to quality of life and healthcare value, especially for older adults following hospitalization. Monitoring PF supports recovery, reduces adverse events, and improves care transitions. Despite the potential of electronic hea...

Poor agreement between bioreactance and echocardiography during passive leg raising in patients with shock

Passive leg raising (PLR) is commonly used to assess fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients. Transthoracic echocardiography is frequently used to measure stroke volume changes during PLR but requires operator expertise and adequate image acquisition. Bioreactance-based m...
