Construct or modify this is the question: the relevance of retouch between final Lower Palaeolithic and early Middle Palaeolithic

Great attention has always been paid to the presence of retouched tools as chrono-cultural proxies in prehistoric lithic assemblages; since the last century typological lists have been traditionally used to summarize the morphological variability shown by the European Palaeolithi...

Hydropeaking Catalyzes Redox Reactions in Impacted Aquifers: A First Field Evidence

Abstract Hydropeaking indicates the sudden and frequent fluctuation of river stage caused by the operation of hydropower plants. This river alteration affects numerous physical, chemical, biological, and ecohydrological processes in surface water bodies. The impact of hydropeakin...

SERINC5 is the primary target of retroviral antagonists among human SERINC paralogs and requires a tri-cysteine motif for its counteraction by HIV-1 Nef

The human transmembrane protein SERINC5 incorporates into budding HIV-1 particles and inhibits virus fusion with target cells. Although three other human SERINC paralogs display antiviral activity, their contribution to retroviral restriction and their susceptibility to viral ant...

Unraveling Vulnerabilities and Pathways Responsible for AITL Malignancy to Improve Patients’ Treatment

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma characterized by poor clinical outcomes following conventional CHOP-based chemotherapy and the lack of effective disease-specific therapeutic options. The disease finds its origin in...

New Δ246p53 isoform responds to DNA damage to enhance p53 family functions in cellular senescence

Abstract p53 is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful genes in our genome, as it makes growth vs arrest, repair vs replacement, catabolism vs anabolism, life vs death decisions in the cell. An alteration or malfunction in p53 may lead to cancer, degeneration or premature age...

A common germline 3′ UTR variant controls DDIT4 translation efficiency and stress responses in cancer cells

Systematic strategies for identifying and classifying variants that directly modulate ribosome engagement are lacking. Here, we develop and extensively validate a pipeline to identify translation-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tranSNPs) by integrating analysis of tot...

Optimal synthesis of wideband shaped-beam array antenna through convex optimization

A linear-programming (LP) framework is introduced for the synthesis of wideband shaped-beam patterns produced by uniform linear arrays (ULAs). The single-frequency feasibility-based LP formulation is extended to a multi-frequency power mask by sampling the normalized spatial freq...

Nonlinear mapping of random graph properties for cryptographic S-boxes

Secure communication in the digital era depends on cryptographic primitives whose nonlinearity withstands side-channel, algebraic, and emerging quantum cryptanalytic threats. Among these primitives, the substitution box (S-box) is the principal source of confusion in modern block...

Comprehensive profiling of brain dynamics during anesthesia across phylogeny

Abstract The behavioral effects of anesthetics are highly conserved across species, hinting at shared and fundamental underlying mechanisms. Here we compile a dataset of multiscale neural activity during wakefulness and anesthesia, encompassing human, macaque, marmoset, mouse, ze...

The Impact of Digital Technologies on Self-Employment Dynamics in Italy

Abstract This paper examines the causal impact of the adoption of advanced automation and big data on the dynamics of self-employed workers in Italy between 2015 and 2019. Combining data on employment dynamics and on technology adoption at the level of provinces and macrosectors,...

Memory-Efficient 3D Scene Understanding via Quantized Multi-View Features

Projecting high-dimensional representations derived with 2D foundation models onto 3D point clouds via multi-view aggregation has emerged as a powerful paradigm for 3D scene understanding. However, the conventional strategy of storing dense feature vectors - derived by 2D foundat...

Additive manufacturing of PHBH and PBAT biopolymers via fused filament fabrication: a comparison between thermal and thermo-mechanical properties

Abstract This study aims to investigate the thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) as sustainable alternatives for fused filament fabrication (FFF). Starting from commerc...

Haplotype-specific analyses in apple: insights from 'Golden Delicious'.

Apple is one of the major cultivated fruit crops in temperate regions. To better support breeding programs and facilitate the development of improved cultivars, we generated a new haplotype-resolved and phased version of the 'Golden Delicious' genome, one of the founders of many...

Leading Humanistic Transformation of Business, Economy and Society: Lessons From Olivetti’s Blueprint

Building on the core pillars of Humanistic Management–dignity, ethics, and legitimacy–this study examines how these principles were enacted across organizational, community, and societal levels, and how Humanistic Leadership translated a normative vision of business into concrete...

PhDGPT: Measuring bias in academic mental health across quantised and uncensored LLMs

We investigate bias in academic mental health as reflected by Large Language Models (LLMs). To this aim, we introduce PhDGPT, a synthetic dataset encapsulating the machine psychology of Ph.D. researchers and professors as perceived by OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and GPT-OSS-20b. The dataset...

Amphiphilic Motif Triggers Microheterogeneity in Low‐Melting Mixtures

Microheterogeneity in low‐melting mixtures of ethylene glycol and chemically modified choline derivatives synthesized on purpose is here proposed. Novel cholinium ions with one or two N ‐butyl substituents or an N ‐hydroxybutyl chain are synthesized for the first time. Synthesis...

Spatial extension of parafoveal processing predicts reading speed gain during reading acceleration

Fast and efficient reading involves not only processing the currently fixated word but also simultaneous processing of the upcoming text. Although the role of extrafoveal processing in natural reading has been extensively documented, its contribution to reading acceleration benef...

Combined effects of acoustics and indoor air quality on calculation performance: a laboratory experiment and a lab-dilemma investigation

Ensuring high Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in educational settings is crucial for Students performance. Within IEQ, the combined effects of different domains are highly relevant, yet the interaction between acoustics and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) requires further exploration...

The salient identity of professional accountants in climate change and sustainability accounting for SMEs

Purpose This study aims to explore the salient identity and the perceptions of professional accountants by focusing on the interplay between individual drivers and the self-perceived salient identity in the context of climate change and sustainability accounting in the evolving e...

Investigation into the structural performance of passing-through plate-to-HSS 3D-cut welded joints

Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are widely used members in the construction sector due to their strength, efficiency, and versatility. However, their complex connections require considerable construction effort and resources. To promote the application of these sections, a new f...
