MAD2B guides chromosome stability in mitosis via the MAD2B–CIP2A signaling axis

Abstract Error-free mitosis depends on accurate chromosome attachment to spindle microtubules, monitored by the spindle assembly checkpoint machinery, which prevents precocious chromosome segregation and reduces the risk of aneuploidy. MAD2B, a homologue of MAD2, is critical for...

High‐Efficiency Acousto‐Optic Modulation on Non‐Suspended Thin‐Film Lithium Tantalate

ABSTRACT Acousto‐optic (AO) interactions provide a powerful interface between the microwave and optical domains, enabling optical switching, non‐reciprocal propagation, and efficient microwave‐to‐optical transduction. Here, we demonstrate high‐efficiency AO modulation on a non‐su...

Identification and characterization of ethR and ethA genes impacting the sensitivity of Mycobacterium abscessus to ethionamide

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium with rising global incidence. This pathogen exhibits intrinsic resistance to most antibiotics, presenting a major public health threat. Ethionamide (ETH) requires bioactivation by monooxygenase Et...

Boosting the Critical Current Densities With BaTiO 3 Doping in Single‐Domain GdBCO Bulks by TSMG Technique

ABSTRACT In this study, we employed commercial NdBCO single crystals as seeds and utilized the conventional top‐seeded melt growth (TSMG) method to fabricate GdBa 2 Cu 3 O 7‐δ (GdBCO) bulk samples, incorporating trace amounts (0.1 wt%) of micro‐ and nano‐sized BaTiO 3 (BTO) parti...

Role of BSA adsorption in the evolution of polyimide coating performance

Polyimide (PI) encapsulation for implantable electronic devices (IEDs) must resist complex in vivo microenvironments, and its reliability directly determines device service life. However, existing PI coating research has focused primarily on single performance optimization, lacki...

In situ real-time determination of SO 2 photochemical oxidation in nanoscale sea salt aerosols based on dark-field microscopy

Abstract. Heterogeneous reaction processes of aerosols play an important role in air quality and climate change. However, the lack of in-situ measurements of single-nanoparticle reactions results in large uncertainties in modeling the nanoparticle reaction kinetics. The study int...

Remarks on Brauer–Manin Obstruction for Weil Restrictions

Given a finite extension [Formula: see text] of number fields and a smooth quasi-projective variety [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text], if the abelianization of [Formula: see text] is trivial, we prove that there is a natural identification between Brauer–Manin sets of...

SpectralTrojan: psychoacoustically constrained frequency-domain backdoors for keyword spotting and speaker identification

Voice AI pipelines remain vulnerable to training-phase backdoor attacks, but the relevant tasks must be distinguished carefully. This study evaluates keyword spotting (KWS) and closed-set speaker identification (SI); it does not evaluate automatic speech transcription or speaker...

Disintermediation Governance and Complementor Innovation: An Empirical Look at Amazon.com

This study investigates how the platform’s disintermediation governance policy (i.e., the policy that disciplines complementors and consumers circumventing the platform to transact directly) affects complementors’ product innovation and launching strategies. We leverage a change...

AGIRA: Anatomy-Guided Image–Report Alignment with Finite-Scale Fractal Analysis for Chest X-Ray Representation Learning

Background/Objectives: Chest radiographs contain hierarchical relationships between global thoracic configuration and organ-specific findings, together with scale-dependent anatomical boundary geometry and heterogeneous texture distributions. Coarse image–report alignment may ove...

Geometry‐Controlled Cooperativity at Binuclear Fe 2 –N 6 Sites Enables Selective Fe IV ═OGeneration for Durable Fenton‐Like Oxidation

ABSTRACT Single atom catalysts (SACs) are emerging as a promising platform for Fenton‐like water purification; however, their practical deployment is often constrained by the trade‐off between high intrinsic activity and long‐term stability. Here, we construct an N‐bridged binucl...

Wave Energy Conversion Performance of an OWC System with Coupled Pneumatic Damping

Improving the conversion of incident wave energy into useful pneumatic power requires a clear understanding of the coupling among floating body motions, internal water column oscillation, air compression, and pneumatic damping in oscillating water column (OWC) systems. In this st...

Fiber Electronics: Integrating Logic, Photodetection, and Wireless Communication on a Single Optical Fiber

Abstract Optical fibers underpin the global information infrastructure, yet their role has remained largely passive—restricted to guiding light rather than processing it. Signal modulation, detection, and logic operations are still performed by external chips, imposing fundamenta...

On the simplicity of de Sitter correlators

A bstract Motivated by recent evidence that equal-time correlators can be simpler than the corresponding wavefunction coefficients, we study de Sitter correlators in conformally coupled ϕ 3 theory directly. By inverting the momentum-space dressing rules, we derive a time integral...

LFD (v1.0): latent-compression-free generative diffusion with geological priors and geophysical regularization for implicit structural modeling

Abstract. Diffusion models provide a promising way to model the distribution of implicit structural models, potentially improving generalization across surveys. However, existing diffusion Transformer pipelines scale poorly to high-dimensional geophysical data because noise- or v...

Developmental trajectories and associated factors of cardiovascular disease risk among chinese miners: a 5-year prospective cohort study

To examine temporal patterns in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among miners, identify distinct latent trajectory classes, and evaluate factors associated with trajectory membership. We analyzed data from a miner health cohort in Huaibei, Anhui Province, China. Of 4,560 miners...

Machine learning enhanced prediction of optical properties via reverse Monte Carlo method

We present a machine learning (ML) approach for the accelerated extraction of optical properties from the experimental reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectra by the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method. Taking platinum (Pt) as an example, experimental REELS spec...

Mesoporous‐Shell Monolayer Plasmonic Architecture Enables Quantitative and Decision‐Guided SERS

Quantitative surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has long been impeded by stochastic hotspot formation, signal instability, and limited chemical fidelity in complex environments. Overcoming these intrinsic limitations requires structural control at the nanoscale rather tha...

Detection and Safeguarding of Chinese Toxic Content from Users and LLMs: A Survey

Abstract Toxic content detection and safeguarding have become important topics in natural language processing and affective computing, as they involve the analysis of offensive expressions and harmful attitudes in language. With the widespread adoption of social media, diverse fo...

Cross-Condition State-of-Health Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries via Degradation-Feature Constraints and Domain-Difference Gating

To address the limited generalization of lithium-ion battery state-of-health (SOH) estimation under unseen aging conditions, this study proposes a degradation-feature-constrained domain-difference gated method (DFC-DGGate). Cycle-level features are constructed from capacity, volt...
