Linking social attention to reproductive state and future reproduction in female monkeys
Abstract The demands of complex social life are thought to drive the evolution of cognition in primates. One important approach to testing this hypothesis is to assess if variation in psychological processes impacts an individual’s fitness outcomes, but this can be challenging in...

Systemic Tau as a homeostatic trigger for structural self-repair in event-driven networks
Systemic Tau, the mean pairwise Kendall rank correlation of module activity on a common event index, is used as the signal for a structural repair of an event-driven exclusive-or network. Because that mean is signed, an increase in one pair and a decrease in another can cancel. T...

The Impact of v‐SYMPHONY's Virtual Boot Camp on Trainee Transition From Residency to Fellowship
BACKGROUND: Starting a pediatric subspecialty fellowship presents numerous challenges to trainees. Virtual Symposium of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology of New York (v-SYMPHONY), an educational collaborative organized by 18 pediatric hematology-oncology (PHO) programs, initiated an...

Crystallizationfor Manufacturing in Microgravity;Are We There Yet?
Abstract Crystallization in microgravity has been extensively investigated because of its potential to enhance crystal quality compared to terrestrial conditions. While early efforts were primarily directed toward single-crystal growth for structural studies, increasing attention...

Systemic Tau and Hierarchical Ordinal Conjunctions: A Relational Theory of Critical Transitions
Foundations paper (English, ~30 pp.) for a dual relational account of critical transitions in complex systems. Systemic Tau (τs) is an ordinal, multivariate measure of cross-variable coupling: sliding-window Kendall-type rank concordance tracks relational coherence rather than th...

Background/Objectives: Historical concerns regarding permanent dental staining have restricted the use of tetracycline antibiotics in children younger than 8 years. However, newer-generation tetracycline derivatives, particularly doxycycline, differ pharmacologically from first-g...
