Electrochemical Platform for Automated Design-of-Experiment Optimization of Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Electrophile Coupling Reactions

Abstract Electrosynthetic organic reactions have advanced significantly in recent years, but their adoption for large-scale applications remains limited. Here, we report an automated experimental platform designed to facilitate translation of small-scale chemical and electrochemi...

Evaluating a semester-long sustainability project in introductory chemistry: coordinating chemistry and sustainability systems

Abstract This Good Practice Report describes and evaluates a semester-long supplemental learning experience integrated with a one-semester introductory chemistry course. The learning environment was designed to help students use chemistry meaningfully in sustainability contexts b...

A Functional Tensor Model for Dynamic Multilayer Networks with Common Invariant Subspaces and the RKHS Estimation

Dynamic multilayer networks are frequently used to describe the structure and temporal evolution of multiple relationships among common entities, with applications in fields such as sociology, economics, and neuroscience. However, exploration of analytical methods for these compl...

Regeneration programs buffer genetic defects in animal development

Regeneration programs enable animals to restore damaged or lost tissues, and the range of stimuli for these programs is incompletely understood. Here, we used zebrafish, a vertebrate species with exceptional regenerative capacity, to identify chemically induced mutations that alt...

Prevalence of HIV and recent infection among people aged 15 to 54 years in post conflict Tigray Ethiopia

The Tigray region of Ethiopia has been affected by a prolonged conflict that significantly disrupted public health services and led to widespread population displacement. While these events raised important concerns about their potential impact on HIV transmission, current eviden...

Mean fitness is maximized in small populations under stabilizing selection on highly polygenic traits

Stabilizing selection commonly acts on complex traits that affect individual fitness. Here, we relate mean fitness under stabilizing selection to population size and trait architecture, using a simple application of theoretical predictions for the distribution of phenotypic value...

Metáforas de la Comunicación Organizacional en la Academia Latinoamericana: Un Diálogo Norte-Sur

Teniendo en cuenta la existencia de una episteme latinoamericana en el ámbito de la comunicación, caracterizada por un pensamiento crítico y una perspectiva subalternizada, y respondiendo a las llamadas a la descolonización de este campo, proponemos, en este ensayo, propiciar un...

Forty-five years of academic neurosurgery in Paraguay: A systematic review and bibliometric analysis of the transition to self-reliance

Background: While the global neurosurgical burden is highest in low- and middle-income countries, scientific output remains dominated by high-income nations. Paraguay has seen a dramatic seven-fold increase in its neurosurgical workforce since 1980, yet its academic footprint rem...

Interplay of Lattice Distortion and Cation Disorder Governs Li-Ion Transport in Cation-Disordered Rocksalt Cathodes

Abstract Cation-disordered solids provide a chemically complex landscape in which local environments, lattice responses, and configurational disorder collectively influence ion transport. In cation-disordered rocksalt cathodes, Li+ diffusion has traditionally been interpreted usi...

Adolescents’ Experiences of Online Harms by Platform

Importance Concerns about the risks adolescents face online are rising, and existing research on online harms rarely examines platform-level differences. Objective To estimate the prevalence of negative experiences reported by US adolescents online, offline, and across 20 differe...

Transitioning primary care from residents to attendings – an approach to address challenges in care during the academic year transition

Internal medicine residents provide primary care to a panel of patients. Annually, 600,000 patients are assigned new resident primary care physicians (rPCPs) when their current rPCP graduates. At our academic resident and faculty primary care practice, all rPCPs review their pane...

Impact of Voice Onset Time on Phoneme Perception and Implications for a Language-Agnostic Hearing Assessment

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of native language on phoneme perception in normal-hearing (NH) adults representing the three most commonly spoken languages in the United States (English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese). Method: A prospective cross-sectio...

Perceptions and priorities for residential heat pump adoption in the rural northern US

Heat pump (HP) technology has significant potential for decarbonization in the residential energy sector. However, in rural areas of the northern Great Lakes region in the United States, factors such as reduced HP efficiency during winter and financial and social structural barri...

Assessing Airflow and Temperature Distribution in a Geodesic Dome Greenhouse Under Different Ventilation Configurations: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study

Geodesic dome greenhouses have attracted growing interest as alternative structures for sustainable crop production, as their curved structures provide advantages while creating distinct internal airflow characteristics. This geometry also alters internal air movement and tempera...

The role of the Montreal Neurological Institute in the origins of neuroscience

Yvan Prkachin is a historian of science, medicine, and technology who specializes in the history of the brain and mind sciences, and the history of modern hospital care. Prkachin obtained his Ph.D....

Electrically controllable superconducting memory effect in UTe2

Abstract Multiphase superconductors—materials that host two or more distinct superconductive phases—are exceptionally rare. Examples include heavy-fermion CeRh 2 As 2 alongside some uranium compounds such as UPt 3 and URhGe (refs. 1,2,3 ). In the multiphase p -wave superfluid 3 H...

High-grade astrocytoma with piloid features: a clinical and genomic analysis of prognostic factors using a large cohort

BACKGROUND: High-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP) is a recently defined tumor type that is not well-understood. Prognostic factors of clinical outcomes are not well-established. METHODS: Methylation profiling was performed on tumor samples, many at the National Cance...

Cultural Stress, Psychopathology, and Well-Being Among Latinos: A Two Continua Model Approach

Abstract Latinos in the USA experience myriad cultural stressors that increase their risk for experiencing psychopathology. Whereas most Latino-focused research has conceptualized psychopathology and well-being as existing on opposite ends of the same continuum, the Two Continua...

Diversity and Plasticity of Hydraulic Traits Across a Relative Moisture Supply Gradient: Results From Multiple Common Gardens

ABSTRACT Maintaining cellular hydration is essential for plant metabolic activity and carbon gain. Plants typically maintain hydration through efficiency of water transport networks, the ability to avoid network disruption, and retention of water via accumulation of osmotica. Giv...
