The dynamics of language and culture in lexical semantics and discourse

Abstract This special issue explores the relationship between language, culture, and cognition through studies of lexical semantics, semantic change, metaphor, and discourse. Bringing together perspectives from cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics, cognitive ethnolinguisti...

Capillary Gel Electrophoresis Separation of dsDNA Molecules Using Tetrahydroxyborate Stabilized Hydroxyethyl Cellulose – Polyvinylpyrrolidone Physical Copolymer

Abstract The advent of nucleic-acid–based therapeutics has revived the need to develop efficient capillary gel electrophoresis methods for their rapid, high-resolution analysis. In this paper, we introduce a dual-network hydrogel-based physical copolymer, utilizing the excellent...

Strontium isotopic signatures and source apportionment in urban soils of Salgótarján: unraveling the impact of industrial emissions

Abstract Urban soil contamination is primarily associated with human activities, especially industrial by-products, which have introduced high concentrations of heavy metal(loid)s from diverse sources over centuries of city development. This study investigated the distribution of...

Predicting BOD5 Removal Efficiency in a Constructed Wetland from Satellite and Meteorological Data Using Interpretable Machine Learning

Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer a low-cost and sustainable option for wastewater treatment, but their performance is commonly assessed through infrequent, periodic field sampling that yields temporally sparse records. This study evaluated whether five-day biochemical oxygen dema...

Food experience, place attachment and locavorism in urban destinations

This study investigates the role of locavorism in urban gastronomic tourism and examines its relationships with food experience, place attachment and behavioural outcomes. Addressing a gap in research on locavorism in cities, the study examines whether local food experiences infl...

Transformer-based emotion profiling and clustering of cybersickness narratives in Steam reviews of first-person virtual reality games

Cybersickness remains a persistent barrier in virtual reality (VR) gaming, yet how players emotionally frame discomfort in user-generated content is poorly understood. Prior large-scale analyses of Steam reviews have characterized emotional experience with a single polarity score...

flexiAsCas12a and other Cas12a variants enhance the applicability of Cas12a nucleases in prime editing

Abstract Background Amongst the genome manipulation tools based on the versatile CRISPR-Cas system, prime editing is the most prominent one as a method that enables precise insertions, deletions, and substitutions without inducing double-strand breaks. Cas12a nucleases are widely...

Nordhaus–Gaddum‐Type Theorems for Maximum Average Degree

ABSTRACT A ‐decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edge set into spanning subgraphs . The classical theorem of Nordhaus and Gaddum bounds and over all 2‐decompositions of . For a graph parameter , let , taken over all ‐decompositions of graph . In this paper, we consider...

Innovative framework for cost-effective and reliable networks via P-graph and machine learning in water infrastructure management

Abstract Ensuring the reliable operation of wastewater transportation networks is critical for maintaining urban water infrastructure performance and preventing service disruptions. However, reliability assessment is typically conducted as a post-design evaluation rather than bei...

Optimal Item Placement for Information Retrieval in Stochastic Paired Comparison Models Under Special Comparison Structures

Paired comparison models are examined from the perspective of the placement of objects within specific comparison structures. For both pairwise comparison matrix-based models and stochastic models, previous studies have examined which comparison structures maximize the amount of...

Thermodynamic and structural behavior of one-dimensional divalent patchy hard rods: Wertheim’s first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory vs exact results

We investigate the thermodynamic and structural properties of divalent patchy hard rods confined to a one-dimensional channel by modeling the bonding sites as attractive square-well (SW) patches located at the rod tips. The zero-range sticky limit is recovered by letting the well...
