Examining the benefits of spaced retrieval practice on transfer and the student experience in the classroom

Spaced retrieval practice is a learning strategy whereby information is retrieved multiple times with each retrieval attempt separated by a time gap. We conducted a semester-long classroom intervention to investigate the benefits of spaced retrieval practice on memory and transfe...

Two cases of an imatinib-sensitive PRKG2::PDGFRA-positive chronic myeloid neoplasm with basophilia

The clinical and morphological phenotype of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with tyrosine kinase (TK) gene fusions (MLN-TK) is influenced by both the TK and the partner gene [ 1 ]. Here, we report on two patients with an initial diagnosis of a chronic myeloid neoplasm with prominent b...

Edged Donor–Acceptor Engineering in Conjugated Organic Polymers for Cocatalyst‐Free Photocatalytic H 2 Evolution

ABSTRACT Photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) production systems still heavily rely on noble metal‐based cocatalysts to lower the reaction energy barrier and capture electrons for proton reduction. But the adoption of metal during photocatalysis could significantly increase the cost an...

Selinexor potentiates NK cell activation against multiple myeloma

INTRODUCTION: Selinexor is a first in class selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) targeting Exportin-1 (XPO1) and approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Selinexor has previously been shown to enhance natural killer (NK) cell activation against lymphoma cells...

Deletion or immunotherapeutic blockade of FcγRIIb (CD32b) impairs α-Syn propagation in vivo

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD), the most prevalent neurodegenerative movement disorder, is characterised by widespread alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) pathology in the brain and the progressive degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Experimental and clinicopathological da...

Heterotic strings on Enriques surfaces

A bstract We study orbifold compactifications of heterotic strings on Enriques surfaces. We classify the inequivalent shift vectors for both the E 8 × E 8 and Spin(32)/ ℤ 2 lattices, and analyse the light spectrum of the resulting models. We show that these models can be interpre...

High-Endurance, Low-Loss Sb2Se3 Optical Switches on Silicon Nitride Using Transparent Conductive Heaters

Abstract We report an electrically actuated, low-loss nonvolatile optical switch based on the phase-change material (PCM) Sb2Se3 integrated on a silicon nitride (Si3N4) platform. The device is fabricated using an 8-in. Wafer-scale process flow, demonstrating the feasibility of sc...

Lateral Pressure Application to the Seated Buttocks Largely Maintains Transcutaneous Gas Tensions at the Ischial Tuberosity in a Healthy Cohort

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the physiological effectiveness of lateral pressure application in maintaining baseline transcutaneous oxygen (TcPO 2 ) and carbon dioxide (TcPCO 2 ) tensions in the buttocks during sitting, compared with a conventional static foam cushion. S...

Director Expertise and Compliance to Corporate Social Responsibility Regulations

ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue This paper investigates whether assigning CSR‐specific expertise to the board committee legally responsible for CSR improves compliance with mandatory CSR law and shapes how firms organize that compliance. Research Findings/Insights Using Indian l...

Amphipods associate with epibiotic filamentous bacteria at a shallow-water hydrothermal vent

In the deep ocean, hydrothermal vents sustain remarkable animal-microbial symbioses, in which bacteria colonizing animal external or internal tissues use reduced chemicals from venting fluids to perform chemosynthesis and nourish their host. Hydrothermal vents also occasionally o...

Integrating menopausal neurocognitive and psychosocial dynamics into economic behavior: the Behavioral Finance–Menopausal Cognition (BF-MC) Model (MARiE WP2A study)

Objective: Traditional behavioral finance—which examines how cognitive biases, emotions, and context shape economic decision-making— often assumes cognitive stability, rationality, and consistent risk evaluation, based largely on male-dominated samples. Emerging evidence from the...

Yttrium doping-induced electronic structure and interfacial water modulation for alkaline hydrogen evolution

Clarifying interfacial water effects is vital for alkaline HER catalyst design. We solvothermally prepared Y-doped Co-MOF/NF, then fabricated optimized 10%Y-Co-MOF-0.5P/NF via low-temperature phosphidation. In situ tests indicate structural evolution of interfacial water driven b...

Environmental guilt and cultural values explain how green identity shapes sustainable skincare purchase intention among Arab Generation Z

Abstract This study explains why Generation Z consumers in Arab markets form intentions to purchase sustainable skincare products and clarifies the psychological mechanism through which green self-identities are converted into intention. Extending the Theory of Planned Behavior w...

Metascience, Research Software, and the Case for RS Metascience: Extended Preprint

Metascience is the study of science itself, including how scientific research is conducted, evaluated, and improved. Rather than asking questions about the natural or social world, metascience asks questions about scientific research -- its methods, objects of study, participants...

Whither Conservative Business Ethics? Addressing the Puzzling Absence of Conservative Thought in Business Ethics

Abstract Despite business ethics drawing on a wide range of philosophical perspectives, conservative thought remains strikingly underrepresented in the field. This paper addresses that absence by bringing the conservative philosophical tradition into conversation with business et...

Applications of ship digital twins in maritime transport: A systematic review

Ship digital twins are increasingly recognised as enabling technologies for intelligent and sustainable maritime transport; however, their large-scale deployment remains constrained by significant technical, operational, and organisational challenges. To address the fragmented na...

Estimation of auroral emission altitude in the region of the ISS magnetic footprint during a relativistic electron precipitation event observed by ISS-CALET

We report a multi-MeV relativistic electron precipitation (REP) event as observed by the CALorimetric Electron Telescope and the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image aboard the International Space Station, together with low-cost twin all-sky auroral imagers installed at Athabasca, Cana...

On quivers, spectral networks and black holes

Abstract It was recently found that connection coefficients of the Heun equation can be derived in a closed form using crossing symmetry in two-dimensional Liouville theory via the Nekrasov–Shatashvili functions. In this work, we systematize this approach to second-order linear O...

Inefficient Frontiers: Industry‐Specific Anomalies in Frontier Markets

ABSTRACT In this study we identify low‐risk anomalies affiliated with industry in frontier markets, offering valuable insights for fund managers and investors managing an internationally diversified portfolio. Utilising a two‐beta model—incorporating both market and industry beta...
