ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to validate the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire‐4 (SATAQ‐4) in Mexican women, evaluating its factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, convergent validity, and measurement invariance in women with and...

Introduction: Scuba diving in water below thermoneutral temperature (< 30°C) can reduce core temperature and impair comfort and performance. Semi-drysuits are presumed superior to wetsuits because they presumably limit water entry into the suits, but changes in core temperature a...

Shallow Landslides Align With Atmospheric Rivers in Coastal Steeplands
Abstract Rapid, shallow landslides in coastal mountains are triggered by extreme precipitation, shaping topography and impacting human settlements. Using an inventory of >700 landslides mapped from satellite imagery (2009–2024) and an atmospheric river database (1981–2019), this...

Election delay: public support for postponing elections during public health crises
Is it democratic to postpone elections under an emergency situation? Considering the fact that 80 countries around the world postponed elections, this study takes a rare look at citizens’ attitudes toward election delay during a crisis time (the COVID-19 pandemic). Using national...

Abstract Deep long-period (DLP) earthquakes are observed beneath volcanoes in various tectonic settings during background activity, unrest, and eruption. The exact processes generating DLPs have been subject to ongoing debate, as they may provide insight into deep magmatic plumbi...

The development of bioengineered conduits for the repair of large peripheral nerve defects remains challenging. Here, we introduce a biomimetic fibrin hydrogel scaffold containing stacked arrays of aligned poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers that mimics the naturally forming fi...

Background: Increasing exposure to wildfire fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) may pose unique risks to fetal development. We assessed associations between prenatal wildfire PM 2.5 exposure and fetal growth outcomes, including birth weight at term, birth weight for gestational age...

Abstract Early life adversity (ELA), characterized by threat (experiences involving threat of harm), and not deprivation (absence of expected environmental inputs), has been associated with accelerated biological aging in youth. Although understanding of underlying processes is l...

Abstract Collisional activation is available ubiquitously in commercial mass spectrometers, but, due to differences in instrumentation, it can be difficult to “translate” instrument settings from one instrument in a collisional activation experiment to another instrument to achie...

Most research into post-fire geomorphology has been conducted in regions with frequent fire, such as in dry Mediterranean and temperate climates and less has been conducted in wet forests where wildfire is now expanding with climate change. Because climate, soils, topography, veg...

Some of the most classically relevant Hyperplane arrangements are the Braid Arrangements B n and their associated complement spaces ℱ n . In their recent work, Tsilevich, Vershik, and Yuzvinsky [23] construct what they refer to as the intrinsic hyperplane arrangement within any i...

ABSTRACT During adolescence, young people develop civic identities and the psychological and social capacities that shape how they interpret and respond to social and political issues. However, relatively little research has examined how these processes unfold in contested settin...

Remembering object locations is crucial for survival, yet how the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) encodes spatial features across repeated experiences has not been fully characterized. Using longitudinal calcium imaging in freely moving mice, we tracked excitatory ACC neurons whi...

Abstract A knot K is the resultant of a knot H if there exists a minimal crossing diagram D of H such that some crossings of D can be altered to produce K . H is fertile if every prime knot K with crossing number less than c ( H ) is a resultant of H . H has fertility number n if...

Phenotypic plasticity can influence population persistence, range dynamics, and evolutionary potential in heterogeneous landscapes. If adaptive, plasticity may buffer populations against environmental variability, climate change, and extreme events. Yet, few studies have examined...

“Kids Don't Know Where to Look!”: Using Think‐Alouds to Teach Students to Interpret Diagrams
ABSTRACT Elementary students frequently encounter diagrams and flowcharts in science texts, yet many engage with them only at a surface level. They can identify labels or colors but struggle to understand how visual features work together to convey meaning. This article introduce...
