Appetitive trait profiles in late life: links to eating disorder psychopathology and psychosocial well-being

Abstract Objective Appetitive traits shape eating behaviors across the lifespan, yet their patterns and health correlates in later life remain poorly understood. This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify distinct profiles of appetitive traits among older adults an...

Empowering PolymericMaterials Discovery by ArtificialIntelligence

Abstract Polymeric materials underpin modern technologies spanning energy storage, microelectronics, healthcare and sustainable manufacturing. Yet their rational design remains exceptionally challenging because material performance emerges from complex interactions among molecula...

A Frequency-Field Picture of Gravity: An Operational Interpretation of the Schwarzschild Solution

General relativity provides an exceptionally successful geometricdescription of gravity, but the relation between gravitationalfrequency shifts, local measurement standards, and free fall can bedifficult to visualize directly. The Schwarzschild solution alreadycontains a natural...

Do fraud alert features improve user satisfaction? Evidence from large language model–based personality traits in online reviews

Purpose This study explores the paradoxical impact of fraud alert features on user satisfaction in age-friendly applications and examines how the personality traits Openness and Neuroticism moderate this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on 7,516 user reviews of a...

Holding All the Cards from the Good Old Days: How Nostalgic Cues Enhance Artificial Intelligence Service Acceptance

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has become deeply integrated into services, many customers exhibit low acceptance of AI-driven offerings. Identifying effective and efficient ways to enhance AI acceptance is both theoretically significant and practically valuable. Drawing on...

When education sticks: early imprints and sociopreneurship in emerging economies

This study examines how entrepreneurship education and training (EET) influences sociopreneurship in emerging economies. Drawing on dynamic imprinting theory, we argue that EET received at different stages of life leaves imprints of unequal durability, and that the expression of...

Satellite–Argo Reconstruction of the Mesoscale-Eddy Sound-Speed Field and Its Effect on Towed-Array Gain: A Differentiable Framework with Bounded Acoustic Feedback

We reconstruct the four-dimensional sound-speed field of mesoscale eddies from satellite sea-level anomaly and sparse Argo profiles with a geostrophically constrained coordinate network, and connect it to array-level acoustics through a differentiable parabolic-equation model and...

Adaptive Electrochemical Aptamer Sensing across Biofluid-Relevant pH Ranges via a Dual-Stage Machine Learning Framework

Reliable electrochemical sensing can be hindered by environmental variability such as pH fluctuations, ionic strength, and nonspecific adsorption, which compromise signal fidelity and quantitative accuracy. Here, we present a dual-stage machine learning-assisted electrochemical f...

The second language acquisition of reflexives in Japanese by Chinese and Korean learners

Abstract This study investigates the second language processing and interpretation of the Japanese reflexive zibun ‘self’ by Chinese and Korean learners of Japanese. This is motivated by the pragmatic influence on anaphoric resolution in these three languages, allowing insight in...

The Externalities of Peers' Misconduct: Evidence From Corporate Social Responsibility

ABSTRACT How do innocent firms navigate negative reputational spillovers from industry peer misconduct? We propose that non‐culpable firms leverage corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a costly‐to‐fake signal of intrinsic quality to distance themselves from tainted peers. Usi...

A modelling study of nonlinearity of the cross-shore flow under breaking waves

Abstract A new process-based modelling framework is used to simulate wave-driven flows over a bar in the large-scale SINBAD and LIP11-1C experiments, representing high- and low-wave conditions, respectively. The framework couples an open-source Boussinesq wave model with a one-di...

Gravitational Frequency Modulation and the Assembly of Local Operational Frames

Recent advances in precision atomic-clock experiments have established that intrinsic clock frequencies depend measurably on the surrounding gravitational environment. In the present work, this experimentally verified frequency modulation is taken as the primary physical input an...
