Data-driven enhancement of ocean surface forcing for accurate floating debris transport modelling in the East/Japan Sea

Abstract. Floating debris transport in marginal seas is controlled by a combination of geostrophic currents, wind-driven currents, wave-induced drift, and direct wind forcing, but the relative importance of these processes remains difficult to quantify without in-situ trajectory...

Relating biomarkers and phenotypes using dynamical trap spaces

Connecting the dynamics of biomolecular networks to experimentally measurable cell phenotypes remains a central challenge in systems biology. Here, we introduce a model-based definition of phenotype as a partial steady state that is committed to a certain dynamical outcome while...

Rotor speed and mixing time investigation of internal mixing for fabricating vibration-damping compounds of waste rubber powder in natural rubber

Abstract Vibration-damping elastomers are widely used to reduce mechanical vibrations and improve the durability of engineering systems. This study investigates the effects of internal mixing parameters on the structure and performance of natural rubber composites filled with was...

Vietnamese private international law on marriage and family relations: a feminist legal perspective

It is usually believed that Private international law (PIL) is a neutral field of law in which gender factors are not expressed. However, is this belief really right? The article evaluates the impact of PIL regulations on the rights of women in marriage and family relationships,...

Effects of ultrasound-assisted freezing on drying kinetics, mass transfer and quality of freeze-dried Abelmoschus sagittifolius root

Freeze-drying is widely recognized as an effective technique for preserving thermolabile medicinal materials. In practice, the long drying period can significantly increase both energy consumption and operating expenses. This study investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted...

Ni/CeO2 catalysts incorporated with cassava-peel-derived biochar for CO2 methanation: Effects of biochar activation and impregnation route

Modifying highly active Ni/CeO 2 catalysts with less expensive materials whilst maintaining their catalytic activity is a challenging yet intriguing research direction. Herein, biochar was engineered from cassava peels and introduced into a Ni/CeO 2 -based catalyst for methanatio...

Developing a Comprehensive Framework for Quantitative Research Methods in Economics, Business, and Management

Scholarly publications in social sciences have increased sharply and continue to expand in the era of big data and artificial intelligence. However, comprehensive syntheses of quantitative research methods remain scarce, presenting significant challenges for early-career research...

Social welfare optimisation under institutional reward and punishment

Institutional incentives are widely used to promote cooperation among autonomous, self-regarding agents, from human societies to multi-agent and AI systems. Existing work typically treats incentive design as a bi-objective problem: minimise institutional cost while achieving a hi...

Back-analysis of bi-directional pile load tests of drilled shaft socketed in weak rock

Back-analyses using the finite-element method were undertaken to evaluate the performance of three bi-directional pile load-tested (BPLT) drilled shafts socketed into weak rock (sandstone) for a cable-stayed bridge structure. The hardening soil (HS) model was employed to define t...

Integrative analysis of bulk, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomes reveals a clinically relevant transcriptional program from hepatocellular carcinoma to pan-cancer

Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for robust molecular signatures that support multiple clinical tasks and generalize across diverse transcriptomic platforms. Results We p...

Dialogues in the dark: Reconceptualizing peak experience in night tourism through autoethnography

Night tourism is commonly examined through economic activity and entertainment consumption, while its emotional and introspective dimensions remain underexplored. This study investigates how nocturnal environments shape inner immersion and emotional processes that lead to peak ex...

Deconvolution of cumulative distribution function from repeated measurements with uniform noises

This work is devoted to the estimation of a cumulative distribution function (CDF) using repeated measurements contaminated by additive noise. The noise is assumed to follow a uniform distribution on [−S,S] with an unknown S>0. Since the characteristic function of the noise exhib...
